i know this has been brought up before but the answers are confusing to me and so i thought i would ask for some clarification. I am using UT2 as my AI program along with WOAI strictly for FEDEX and UPS. i would like to be able to see those cargo carriers when using the DX10 preview in FSX but those cargo repaints are for FS9 only. what are the problems that repainters have in making repaints for DX10? Avsim always shows dozens of repaints for FS2004 and not so many for FSX but i dont see any repaints that are DX10 compatible. can a FEDEX or UPS repaint be done for a UT2 model that will work in DX10 like some of their commercial repaints do?thanks, kyle

What are the problems that repainters have in making repaints for DX10? thanks, kyle

Hi KyleThe fact is , repainters do not have problems making repaints for DX10.The real problem lies in the fact airplaines only show up in colors in DX10 preview when their mdl file were especially made for DX10.So , if we have a plane ( AI or normal) wich shows correctly in DX10 preview there are no problems making repaints for it.But, if a model does not show correctly in DX10 due to the fact the mdl file was not made for DX10 , a painter cannot do a thing about that.RegardsLeen de Jager

Thank you Leen for the information, though it does lead me to another question. obviously the models used in UT2 for example have the MDL file that work in DX10. can anyone use those models to do repaints or do you need permission from the makers of those models to do repaints. I would really like to get FEDEX and UPS painted to work in DX10. i have never done repaints before but i would learn how if i was able to make those repaints work in DX10. so knowing that it might be possible, can you or anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial for the absolute novice?Thanks again,kyle

Hi Kyle As far as starting out painting goes , well first of all have a look herehttp://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=252497Also you will need the paint kits for the models you wish to paint , so get them here http://ut2.flight1.net/index.php/downloads...paint-kits.htmland of course you know where to come if you have any questions or problems Have fun :(

thank you for the links. a couple of years ago i asked someone if they would be willing to use ADE to modify an airport for me and they politely said, download ADE and learn how to use it. so i did and had a lot of fun with it. i knew from that experience to learn something is better then to wish for something. so now i am on the road to learning repaints.
