I would love to do some paints but Im not aware of a paintkit :mixedsmi:

Looking at the texture layout, I think I'll give it a miss...

why oh why does every hatch etc have to be in a different location??

Looks like the making of a nice paint if the door issues can be solved.

Yup, I wondered the exact same thing. I was going to paint the RED BULL one, but there's no way I'm struggling through that with the hatches and doors all over the place.

Is there a layered Paint kit guys?

 

[jeansy]

i hate painting models like that, nothing is more frustrating that spending hours lining up lines and other things

bit of bummer that the 337 is like that

 

[jeansy]

Is there a layered Paint kit guys?

no layered psp/psd but it will be a white single layer texture that you get with the base model like all the others of theirs

Oh - shame - thanks Jeansy.

There is a paint kit wiht the new Capt sim 737 so I think i will have a go with those instead.

Hi,

Does anyone know if the GNS 530 in the Skymaster has a terrain map?

Thanks,

Joe

As someone mentioned in an above post, the map mode in the Carenado Garmin 530 is just a copy of the FSX world-map graphic - Carenado have made it easy to incorporate the aftermarket RXP GNS 530 (if you already have it installed on your comp) and that has a nice map mode that very easy to use from the VC display.

you take the words right out of my mouth...

Still, it remains a beautiful model, you just don't want to do any complicated paintjobs on it (like mine...)
Second round, there is improvement, but still lots to do...

 

[Barnes]

That patience paid off Jankees well done

Carenado's history with paint kits is nefarious. I can only speculate that the reasoning behind them not including one, goes back to the basic perception that in flight sim, like in the real world, in general, your flying a plane with someone elses idea of a livery on it.. This spans across Commercial, military and general aviation offerings. Another reason for them not including it may possibly be that they simply dont want to do the extra work of zipping up their in house paint kit. Its personally put me off buying a great many of their products, and i can speculate with some assuredness that i'm not the only one who has been put off by it.
FS allows us to not only fly a plane ( in a virtual sense of course )but fly the planes painted in a way that we personally enjoy. That is, for many of us after all, part of the allure to Flight Sim. if the only paint job offered was say, a death rock based rendition of the cacophonous blend of colors seen on an Indian bus or a Philippine Jeepnee , i rather doubt they would sell many copies. I'm not certain if they do not grasp that concept, or just dont care. Either way, its really frustrating..

These three repaints were some of my earlier work. I would love to redo them for the carenado 337, but i`m out of the repainting game.

The lack of a paintkit is no problem, really, since they provide an all white paintjob, and it real easy to make paints using that. Just check my v- tail or caravan paints if you don't believe me. If you don't know how, just send me a pm.
The Storch has a light grey base texture, and that makes it much harder...
The problem here is the layout of the textures. There are bits and pieces all over, making the drawing of a simple straight line on the fuselage a nightmare if it crosses those pieces... It's a bit disappointing, since a lot of those problems could have been avoided with a different texture mapping. Making that Red Bull paint will be an extremely frustrating job, getting all the lines connect...not my cup of tea really, I do this for fun.
In this respect, I think the best paintkit/ texture layout is that of the WBS P-51, outstanding job by John!
