Ugly GW3 AI

I know that this is not a big concern...but I am repainting the stock GW3 AI aircraft to make them look better. I have 3 or 4 repaints for the AI DC3 done, a couple for the AI Lockeed Electra...these two being the worst looking AI in the lot. Nothing superb by any means, but definitely nicer to look at when you see them taxiing or in flight. Once I get them done, I will upload for those interested. One paint a day....this is not a hi priority project for sure.

Have 5 paints done for the GW3 AI DC3. Again, nothing superbly detailed, nothing to write home about...but a huge improvement over the skins that came with GW3. Will get them packaged up and uploaded to Flightsim.com, The Old Hanger and here to SOH of course. 4 standard DC3 airliners and one dedicated DC3 cargo with the double wide loading door and round windows...could pass as a C-47 as well I suppose. Will include my layered photoshop templates for the square windowed and round window/cargo door versions...again very simply done.

A definite improvement!

Looking forward to having them.

Did you catch my repaints of the stock GW3 AI Staggerwing that I put up here a little while back? On that plane the stock paint looks fine, but I got really tired of seeing that same red Staggerwing show up everywhere; it's used in all of Bill's packages, the same plane with new names, so it's really everywhere you look in GW. I just made versions in several colors and swapped the textures in the multiple copies so they're all different colors. Now I no longer feel like I'm being stalked by some weirdo in a red Staggerwing.
 
I will get these uploaded this afternoon. I did some changing to three of the new skins. The Baniff scheme (2nd pic) had too much alpha on the painted surfaces...so I backed that down. The 3rd pic, the Over Land Express just looked to drab with the white over bare over gray scheme. It is now Golden Yellow over Bare Metal over Green and the Over Land Express has been changed to OverLand Express...just looks better that way. The final scheme is fully painted cargo (textures 3 and 5 depict cargo planes with the round windows and double cargo doors)...it is dark blue with a wide white stripe along the midline of the fuselage with thinner red stripes bordering the white stripe. Wings from about halfway out are white...very striking scheme. The company is AmeriCargo....a play on America and Cargo.

Need to redo the screen shots, then package up the new paints and get them uploaded to three places (SOH, Flightsim and TOH). Then on to the Lockheed AI.
