Why the silence about Paintkit

Featured Replies

Below, you can see my point, Mike: That was a simple question, with a simple answer. See, Mike?
He answered that already in few other paint kit related threads. Use the damn search function :) Lj. Prodanovic

why don’t people make there own paintkit while you’re waiting for the official one to come out, i used one of the liveries that is "close" to what i wanted for my VA (normally as white as possible), copy the texture and cut the background around the windows and doors, and paste the result as a layer on top of the original fuselage so that whatever texture you do, its under the windows and doors. Yes, i know it’s not the same thing , but its practice for when you get the real paintkit. also watch the alpha layers, they need modifying to.
You are right on the mark. Wonder how I did this without a paintkit? Loser.gifP8-A_KFLL.jpg Ray

I'm not a LOSER like your tone + simley suggest.Your livery is 95% WHITE! That's OBVIOUSLY easy to make such repaint. Please don't be ignorant and underestimate me.

Are you talking about the .dds files? How are you editing them, what program? Thanks

Hi, There are programs that convert (to/from) dds to bmp . Like DXTBmp.

Thanks for that...I guess that you need artistic talent. It looks damned hard! Rolling%20Eyes.gif

That's not very nice, he is making a point, one can still do a texture without a paintkit
Gents, As I posted in another thread today about the paint kit, I have made an apology that the kit was delayed due to the attack and other factors which I will not go to lengths to explain. I spent a considerable amount of time on the paint kit documentation that will accompany each kit and I am not done yet. Please allow me time to finish the documentation and we will post when it is done. Right now I am fine tuning the paint kit and proof reading the documentation so that instructions are not left out. The paint kit is quite a thorough kit, it is full of details and there are some steps that need to be explained in detail since this kit is different from a standard kit, it is a BIG kit. I understand we were supposed to deliver it with the NGX on the day it was released and that never happened because of the attack. It is delayed slightly and patience is all I ask for... Regards,
I take it that it won't be as straightforward as the 748's right?

download the Photoshop dds plugins ( if you have photoshop ). simple as pie, till you try and figure out where the borders overlay each other.. I'll wait for the paint kit.. I dont have carpal from hitting F5 yet, and doubtful i'll get it.. I want it too like everyone else, but i'll wait. If Jason says he's working on it, he's working on it, and with as much pressure as everyone has been putting on him and others here, its going to be near impossible to do a good job, so lets all be patient and let the man work.. Please..Pam

I was going to create my own fictional livery, but it seems difficult, i think i'll wait for the paintkit.

Son, I don't know anything about you other than what can be gleaned from the few posts here, but, I think Mike nailed you as a spoiled little brat or teenager of sorts. I tend to agree with him . One. I sure don't see where I have responded to any of your arrogant posts or made any comments about you or your posts.Two. I'm a crusty old character with a fairly new forum name, so don't let that fool you. It has to do with a change of internet services and a new email address.Three. Don't go barking up my tree or you might find it stuck up your butt.Four. Any kind of smiley is still a smiley. Duh.Five. Why don't you go play in the traffic and let the guys complete their work?Six. I am not looking for any response from you or anyone, but, it you start something be prepared for some really close monitoring by some real heavyweights. If you want to play with the big boys, you need to act like one. Personallly, I just as soon take you out behind the shed and give you a real good lesson in manners. I am just glad you are going to grow up as a sim pilot and not a real pilot. I was in a 'real world' ground school for two days this weekend and we had a kid that is probably a lot like you in the class with a bunch of ole timers. We were chatting at the break about him and the now generation when he joined the conversation. He asked, Who are you old guys talking about? Each and every one of us just turned and walked away. Do I need to explain that in more detail for you? Ray

Grandpa, come on, you really look like a spoiled aviator, just like the captains that thought they rule the world. You really should take a break on all the black mail (it's against the forum rules anyway!). You don't scare me at all, this is just a forum, man! I will continue my carrer on the real life. I have plenty of time to enjoy my family, my dogs, my country, sports, and everything. Do you have the same time? Maybe you should worry less about the forum, and be less sheriff. We don't need that. Enjoy the good life you have, if you have a wife, go kiss her, if you have children, hug them, if you have a dog, go out and enjoy a good walk with him. If you want to intimidate me, go ahead, your heart and arteries will thank you with an premature upload to heaven (heart attack). I hope you don't suffer with that.I repeat, I'm not scared about you at all. Black mail is not going to make this situation better for none of us. In fact, if you insist, you'll get banned! How bad is that!? I really don't care if you are an old character with a new account. You could be Mr. Boeing, and if he talk to me like that, I'd still writing this with the same words.I didn't break any rule here, if you want to report me, go ahead. I have nothing to fear. If I get banned, no problem, everyone here saw how you intimidated me and they'll make the silent judgment. Look, I don't have my grandpas anymore. They left me long time ago when I was a teen. Please, for your own health, and for the good of the forum, could we just be respectful with each other? Maybe even friends. I don't appologise for something I didn't do, but if, in any way, I sounded aggresive with you, I'm sorry.I'll be available to recieve your appologises too. Feel embraced by me... EDIT -> PS.: I just read my post again, and it sounded a little agressive at the beginning. It was not to sound like that, my intended tone of voice was very low, with this. But words can't translate emotions and body language. Hope you get it right, it's not agressive at all.
