Albatross! Albatross! I haven't got any ice cream, just got this Albatross!

Noted the enthusiasm, (& liveries), for the Albatross in this thread & fired it up this morning for the 1st time. [SU 2 Beta]
After finally locating the RPM 'switches', I had it set up cruising very nicely on the AP.
Mike Johnson has done a great job on this aircraft, one of the smoothest & most realistic aircraft in MSFS 2024.
Going to be putting some hours up on the G-11.

Two more repaints, I did.

Thomas, maybe you're able to answer this, or someone else who might be in the know - out of curiosity, how were folks able to get the textures, to begin with, from the MSFS 2024 Albatross? Is there a way to "capture" the files while streaming them? That is something I've been hoping for, with some of the other MSFS 2024 aircraft.
 
I would really like this one but there is no variant with this nose with AS Radar. In Hellenic Air Force Service it was known, for more than obvious reasons, as the "Goofy":

There are a few developers on Discord who have cracked the encryption. Then there are repainters who have published a repaint from it, see gcs7e7's repaint of the Albatross N211MC on fs.to.

Now I have the information of the necessary file structure and can start with my repaints.

At the moment there are only a few templates of the native FS2024 airplanes in the form of repaints. CL-415, C-47/DC-3, PC-24, Cessna 185, Cessna 208, Cessna 408, A400, Saab 340, Airbus H225, H125, Drako and the HU-16.

Perhaps it is now possible to read out the streamed content via the SDK. But I haven't looked into this in detail yet.
 
Thank you, Thomas, for your detailed reply, I appreciate it! I've released a few repaints for the MSFS 2024 P-51D, but only thanks to the fact that I can get most of the files from MSFS 2020 - those that are unique to 2024, of course, I haven't been able to snatch/work with. I plan on working on bringing my 2020 Curtiss Jenny repaints over to 2024, but will have the same limits.

Thank you as well, Thomas, for the fantastic repaints you've made for the Albatross.
