iniBuilds T-33 FS20 paints for FS24?

[DaveKDEN]

Is it correct that repaints that were done for the MSFS2020 version of the T-33 can't be transferred over to the MSFS2024 version?
I've uninstalled MSFS2020.

Correct.
I've tried to convert my RAF repaint but it was a nightmare and I gave up

Amongst others, it's a texture format issue. @Bomber_12th can help you with that!

The main problem is that the MSFS 2024 T-33 lacks all the decals. These decals were added to alleviate the mirrored textures. So all of us painters used them extensively. And the liveries do not look good at all without them. I have no idea why iniBuilds forgot about them and why it is taking them so long to fix the problem.

Here is one of my converted liveries in 2024. As you can see, some details are missing and the canopy has an issue too

Pity that iniBuilds has forsaken the massive repaint potential of the T-33 through their inaction.

Interesting - I was unaware of that.

Agreed. I really like the T-33, and some of the FS20 version repaints are simply outstanding. Such a shame that they're not usable in the FS24 model.

@ColoKent and @DaveKDEN I personally think you're being a bit harsh on iniBuilds. With all the things going on with both versions of MSFS. I would not want to be in their shoes.

Well, as Tim-HH mentioned, I think the repainters do have a point about the T-33 in regards to the decal issue. The fact that iniBuilds went a different way with the FS24 model would be frustrating to me if I had any skill at repainting. Having said that, I've never attempted to do a repaint, so I really don't know what I'm talking about.
