June 19, 200322 yr http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/030617/sftu030_1.htmlThis is the link to the new information, along with a pic of the new design. I love it, its about time they did it. I love ATA's and think this will be a lot of fun to look at. Just wondering if PMDG will make two paints of the Southwest in winglets and without.ThanksAdam [email protected]

June 20, 200322 yr Ok, Adam. As promised here is the Southwest Spirit livery with winglets. My screenshot taking talents pale compared to Marc's so forgive the rather uninspiring view. More and better shots will follow. Without furter ado...http://forums.avsim.com/user_files/17946.jpg http://www.precision...GX_Dev_Team.jpg PMDG Graphic Designer

June 20, 200322 yr WOW my mummy....no words for that...:( :) This was my face when I saw that beautiful shot:-badteeth Keep doing it so good!Greetings from Spain.Joaquin Perez
June 20, 200322 yr Ah Pete, give yourself more credit. The aircraft is very well done as is the shot taken. ;-)...Good Day.Jay BirchCFI,CFII,MEIMobile, ALwww.clearedasfiled.com
June 20, 200322 yr Great job!, one thing could do with improving though. The yellow is far too bright and a bit green, it's more deeper and slightly more orange. The pic below will show you what i mean! Look forward to it!!http://www.airliners.net/open.file/362861/L/
June 20, 200322 yr Commercial Member Oh...here we go again with the color expertise....One item to remember is that color appearance varies greatly with ambient lighting. The lighting in the image your are looking at is significantly different than the lighting in the photograph. Hence- the two look different.I was at KBWI a few months ago and I'd swear that this airplane was PURPLE based on lighting. I sat behind one in line for takeoff at KORF a few weeks ago and it looked sky blue.So...Pete's done a great job with color matching. It's what he does. Robert S.

June 20, 200322 yr >Oh...here we go again with the color expertise....>>Pete's done a great job with color matching. It's what he>does. Hey calm down!,:) it was just constructive critisism-I was only trying to improve the look on the fantastic model!. Seriously though..it may just be the lighting but it looks way off in that pic!, i have seem many SW 737's and painted them.
June 20, 200322 yr Ben, the non shadowed side of the plane does look a bit different. Colors, as you know, are sometimes tough to match and we use as many sources to check our work as possible, eliminating what looks wrong to us. As you know, and as Rob has pointed out, FS lighting is actually pretty good, so much so that it'll color cast depending on shadowing and time of day. Rest assured that if after release changes to liveries need to be made, w'lll make them. We don't want anyone using a livery that's not as close to real as we can possibley make it. We've all been in that boat so I know I'm preaching to the choir, so to speak ;-) http://www.precision...GX_Dev_Team.jpg PMDG Graphic Designer
June 20, 200322 yr I would think that if you go to the livery's web site, the colors they use for their logo would match exactly. Where I work, our company has a international standard for color, font, font size, etc for all our publications and advertisements.But I'm sure you already know this...http://saltydogfly2.avsim.net/images/avsim_sig.jpg
June 20, 200322 yr love those winglets!! just wondering Robert if we will notice any differnce in the flight dynamics, fuel comsumption,etc between the models with winglets and the ones without?? JR Stevens CYOW
June 20, 200322 yr As we have mentioned before, the winglet version will have different flight dynamics.Sincerely,
