Kodiak Photoreal WIP

[Lionheart]

Awesome work Robert. That Orange and Gray is a wild colorscheme. Looks very modern, like a Swiss paint scheme. (Cant lose that in the Alps, lol). Thanks also for the 'behind the scenes' glimpse of how these are done. I was curious myself.

Banana Bob, thanks for the insight, not that I understand.
Bill, I have a Kodiak question for you. I don't know where to ask & do not wanna hijack the thread.
Where can I go to ask?

No problem, anything Kodiak related in this thread is fine with me! :ernae:

Hey Bob,
Thank you. I did open a thread asking the question.
Cheers.

How to instal repaint

Bob,

For some reason I am having trouble getting your repaints to show up in the select aircraft file. I have the .jpg's in the respective Kodiak and Kodiak float plan folder.

I may have just not installed anything correctly. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated for what looks like a great paint.

Thanks,

Tom

Awesome stuff Bob! I also did that latter paint a while ago, I just used black instead of gray. That particular bird has very sleek looking wings.

 

[Wombat_VC]

Done, although the site is really going slow for me today. :ernae:

Awesome, Bob! Can I request a special reg number for both the wheel and the float? 9V-CWT

Let's see, did you copy the proper text to each aircraft.cfg file, one for the Kodiak and one for the Kodiak_Floatplane aircraft.cfg file? Then you have to replace the [xx] with the next appropriate numbers. :ernae:

All hard shadows gone and panel lines, now to fit it to the texture sheet. :ernae:

Bob, the water stains on the floats....just right

Question for you...Can you do a Blue set for your Blue Photo Real N498KQ

Installing repaint.

Hi Bob,

I didn't see any text to install. I looked for text but didn't find it. Could I have a bad download?

Thanks again,

Tom

There should of been a "READ ME" with it, here is what needs to be copied to your aircraft.cfg file, one for Kodiak and one for Kodiak_Floatplane.

The left and right fuse done, still got the wings to do. :ernae:

 

[THibben]

Thanks Bob, that fixed it. None of that was in the file I downloaded.

Like this?

Looking good. Do I darken (lighten?) the top layer or the alpha channel to make it even darker? I want to pimp my ride . .

 

[expat]

That blue floater paint available? I took the JAARS paint and adapted it to plain/metal floats but would love to have the coordinated "collars and cuffs" to match !!
