Each and every Vega livery you've uploaded are true masterpieces, Garry. But those Standard Oil Eagle liveries....MAN....absolute jaw-droppers!!

Thank you-thank you!!

Thanks Mate

Thanks Magoo,

Plenty of practice on the Vega repaints has help

The Standard Eagle girls were sheduled for repaint a while ago by Ed but I procastinated for quiet some time before I took on the complexities of the repaint with the known mapping problems with the Vega. Normally a Vega repaint takes around 2 hours but the first Standard Eagle repaint was well over a couple of days of intense artwork tinkering until I got as close as possible to matching the limited black and white references.
My personal favourite is the LAMSA girl -

Regards and I am happy that some of these repaints are being enjoyed by simmers out there.

Garry, I am incorporating everything on your site into my new install. Very nice stuff. But I must be having a senior moment because, although I have looked carefully, I cannot find the Vega section. Can you (or someone) please provide a link directly to it?

Another dumb question. The downloaded zips have the texture folder but there's no txt file with the info to copy/paste into the cfg and I can't find any on the site. Does anybody have a clue on where I can get it?

You need to make your own from the default cfg. copy and paste the entire fltsim section as many times as necessary for new textures, then just change the title and texture and ui variation sections. Also ATC ID if desired. also be sure to change the fltsim.X number. I use the titles Garry gives to the textures as the folder name, then give same to the three changed sections.

ie this


[fltsim.0]
title=Vega 5C Wiley Post
sim=Lockheed_Vega
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Lockheed_Vega_check
kb_reference=Lockheed_Vega_ref
atc_id=NR-105-W
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type="Vega 5C"
ui_variation="Winnie Mae"
description="In the hands of pilots such as Amelia Earhart and Wiley Post, the Vega set many flying records during the 1930s. Wiley Post flew his Vega "Winnie Mae" around the world in 1931. In 1932 Amelia Earhart, piloting a Vega, became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. The Vega's power and speed also made it a top choice for early commercial airline operations."
atc_parking_codes=
atc_parking_types=RAMP

to this


[fltsim.3]
title=Vega 5B American Airways 7426
sim=Lockheed_Vega
model=1
panel=1
sound=
texture=American-(B)
kb_checklists=Lockheed_Vega_check
kb_reference=Lockheed_Vega_ref
atc_id=NC7426
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
ui_manufacturer=Lockheed
ui_type="Vega 5B"
ui_variation="Vega 5B American Airways 7426"
