October 11, 201015 yr Cool video and a cool Livery!:( Dan Schultz REX Latitude BETA Team Member https://rexlatitude.com
October 11, 201015 yr I saw that somewhere on Boeing a few days ago. Very cool. Eric Vander Pilot and Controller Boston Virtual ATC KATL - The plural form of cow. KORD - Something you put in a power socket. UNIT - Something of measure My 747 Fuel Calculator
October 11, 201015 yr Haha, that was pretty awesome, Buddy. As for the livery goes. It wouldn't be possible in the MD-11 or 747 unfortunately to create this paint "Exact". I also doubt it would be for the upcoming NGX. They would have to make a paint kit that allowed such detail not to blend at the top and the bottom. This happens due to the Vectors/poly's, so it would be fine on the sides but the top would just smear from the last few feet toward the top and bottom. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

Be advised I feel like I've just seen a puppy hit by a car... Or the same way I felt when I learned Santa wasn't real... heheBuddy Morgan Buddy Morgan Specs removed by Admin.

October 11, 201015 yr With the MD-11 there was a section added to the Decals.psd making it shown how the vertices were at work and allows for placing artwork without distorting. The top is another story though. It would be possible to get something like this very close, just wanted to point out current limitations in the area of perfection. Once the NGX is released and a paintkit, remind me and I'll give this livery a shot for my 1st project. Unless of course others beat me to it :( i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

October 11, 201015 yr Lovely livery - I asked ages ago about doing the Yananyl Dreaming livery and Mac said it would be a challenge John Ellison
October 11, 201015 yr That was one of the 1st paints I ever did the 747-400x. Challenging to say the least and although you can get the sides fairly exact, the top and bottom are what kills it and you cannot line it up exact. The one in the video above looks newer and the one I did was based off a 1/500th scale Herpa I had and is the more common one seen in pics. I no longer have it but have screenshots somewhere in an old backup I think. It was my first struggle with learning to paint and taking note of the limitations one can do actually. i9 10920x @ 4.8 ~ MSI Creator x299 ~ 256 Gb 3600 G.Skill Trident Z Royal ~ EVGA RTX 3090ti ~ Sim drive = M.2 2-TB ~ OS drive = M.2 is 512-gb ~ 5 other Samsung Pro/Evo mix SSD's ~ EVGA 1600w ~ Win 10 Pro Dan Prunier

October 11, 201015 yr Author Lovely livery - I asked ages ago about doing the Yananyl Dreaming livery and Mac said it would be a challenge The Yananyl Dreaming livery is a beauty! I'm a bit of a Southwest Junkie so Christmas to me means the NGX and all of SWA's special liveries... (Though I'll be pleased with just the former)...Here is another video I drummed up showcasing the SWA special livshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtISWbmQCiACheers!
