Mark,You are amazing. I am new to FS, and just bought a copy of the 747 at Best Buy. Since loading it, I have been looking for some good colors to add. I like the older colors more than the newer stuff. I would like to add my vote for the Continental old colors. This is my first post in this forum, so I hope this is how it works, If it isnt please let me know, and accept my appoligizes.

Hi Walter & PMDG pilots,Your first post arrived without problems. Welcome to the PMDG community and thanks for your comments on the repaints. I will update the repaint list accordingly.So now for some more updates...The TNT update is coming along quite nicely but I haven't finished yet!Here's a couple of screenshots to whet your appetite. I have pretty much overhauled the repaint and it now displays the latest "Surer we can titles" on the fuselage and the tail. Regards,

Mark,Thank you for all your excellent work. Any chance we can get the new UPS paints in an FS9 version?

Hi Randy,Glad you like the repaints! Sure. Let me finish off some in-progress paints and I will convert the -400F and -400BCF to FS9 for you.Hi Folks.... More Repaint News!!!!!The Air Canada -400 for Ian and other aspring AC pilots is now ready for take off! I updated the fuselage textures to adjust the color. The AC blue color is quite hard to get right with the various lighting aspects of FSX. I would be interested in your comments and opinions? This baby can be found at Avsim with ID# 280062.Remember, the screenshot is not what you're actually seeing in the sim so best to download it if you want to take a look. :( In addition, Lachlan has another new baby to fly, ...... a new United/Continental -400F freighter...This package includes some additional features. Just posted to Avsim. ID# is 280067. Have fun!

[787flyer 634]

That would be great if you could make that adjustment. It would be for FS9. I can wait and see what happens with the old colors. Thanks you,

Hello "JB"., (Not sure what your real name is????)Anyway, just to let you know the Continental 747-400 is available in the latest pre-United merger livery for FSX. Avsim ID# is 280078. See screenshots below.... And as per your request, you wanted the FS9 version of this repaint. Since I don't have FS9, I'm looking for you or another volunteer tester to try this out and let me know if the textures look OK?. The download can be found here:-http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ST6QO1G7Note: This is for testing purposes only. I will post the finished version in Avsim.Let me know who wants to to test this FS9 version and provide feedback?Thanks,

JB is my real name. I have a multiple IDs to prove it. Due to the nature of my job, I can not give out my last name; at least not a real one (I know, it sounds a little odd, but it is true). Anyway....Thank you for making the adjustments so quickly. I will load it into FS9 as soon as I can this evening. I will be happy to help out with any FS9 repaint you need tested.Thanks

Hi JB,Thanks. Didn't know if I was being impolite but thanks for clarifying.Yeah. Please try it out and let me know if you have any problems. If you do, send me a couple of screenshots so I can see what's going on.Many thanks,Mark

Hi Randy,FYI - The FSX UPS repaints have been converted to FS9. Can you try them out please?Preliminary zip packages can be downloaded at this site below. Let me know if you have any issues or not- hopefully not!UPS -400F: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E9TUQSKDUPS -400BCF: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Y84ZVBLCCheers,

Let me know who wants to to test this FS9 version and provide feedback?Thanks,

Based on looking at the images that you have posted, and comparing them to a photo of an old Continental 747-200, It looks like the name is to tall, and sits back a little to far. Again, I have never seen a 744 in Continental colors, so I am not sure. I have attached the image that I am basing this off of.Continental 747Thanks,

[787flyer 634]

Hi JB,OK. I'll make the main title a little smaller. I'll work on this tomorrow.I'll let you know when I have an updated version to test.cheers,

Hi Mark,I was wondering if it would be too much trouble to make a 744-8 in Varig´s old livery, like the one they had when they flew the 744s back in the 90s.Like this one:Thanks!Carlos
