Thanks for that! I wonder if it is possible to use my rudder pedals for acceleration/braking? NC
 
Those are awesome! :)

I've been playing around with that cadmium yellow suggestion of yours on my "tacky" truck. Each time I save the change and then go and compare the before and after I keep getting the same tone. Need to play with that some more.

While tinkering with the repaint, I forgot I had this one in the paint shop from the last time I went out for a day of driving in Idaho.

That looks awesome.. Of course I openly admit that I'm a sucker for deep maroon.
The trick with colors and painting trucks is realizing that the SCS color space is severely limited and exists outside of normal color space as is used by most paint programs. This becomes very apparent when using programs such as Mods Studio when setting the flip and flake colors for your metalics. Notice the differences in the two color spaces in the below image.. SCS is on the left, Standard RGB is on the right.
Mod Studio 2 is a great tool to use for skins.. You can download it from their Discord Server here: https://discord.gg/KkGySs in the "general" section on top. Theres also pretty much every top skinner known that inhabits that place and they are all glad to help out..
Without a tool to help find a spcific color in SCS its going to be a matter of guessing if it even exists or not.. MS2 has a pretty steep learning curve, but its well worth it..

Thank you for the tip. I think I'll DL Mod Studio 2 and see if I can make anything of it. I have an idea for a repaint that I can't pull off with the ATS paint shop.

The image below is why I drive one handed. As you can see trying to reach over for my Saitek X52 Throttle would create a puppy conflict.
Thank goodness that most all of the aircraft I like flying, have good autopilot systems. :)

Peanut, my co-pilot.

My Libby is a Chiweenie. Is Peanut also? NC

I had him DNA tested on his first visit to the vet after bringing him home from the rescue shelter. The test came back as 50% chihuahua, 25% schipperke, 25% unknown. So I declared him officially a Skippywawa. :)
