Fantastic news!!!!
As a creator of some liveries for the previous version, I'm interested to know what modicifations may be needed. Are they documented anywhere (externally or in the D/L archive)?
Needless to say, I 'd like to update my liveries ASAP to enjoy this superb new version!!!

For everyone who already has skins for the previous MJ C-47, your skins will work with this model. You won't have Ted's new radials when using previous skins.
Re: The Paint Kit
The PK will be uploaded tomorrow AM and includes all layers you would need to do comprehensive paints. All of the layers are broken out for extensive editing. Ted was generous enough to provide me with his radials in layered format, so they will be available for painters to drop into previous paints.
The PK will also come with a set of basic metal skins to use as a base layer for paints. All wear and shadowing is available in PS layers format.
I've also created a set of enhanced bump maps and specular files that can be added to your skins, old or new. The bump and specular files will globally update all old skins and come with a readme file for easy installation.
I've formatted my package to utilize a shared texture format, so all common files will reside in the shared folder while your skins will be added in the usual way.
I'll be providing a tutorial for those interested in exploring "skinning" in more depth.
When I release the PK, I'll start a new thread to cover paint tips, questions and tech talk. We'll leave this thread for screenies and appreciation of this beautiful offering by Jan Visser, Manfred Jahn and team. Thank you sirs for inviting me to be part of the process.
