I just finished uploading it to Avsim. If I didn't forget anything, it should be available in a few hours. It has two .ptp files. One for the clean non-WL and a weathered winglet version. Panel options are included, but you can customize it to your liking.

Great shot !

Thanks Chris! I really enjoy these paints!

Your the man! :(

As usual, splendid work on those Southwest liveries Chris! Keep them coming :(

Your assistance was invaluable, Christian. Thank you, again!Here's the download link:http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=165841

Chris, do you plan to make a "pack" of your SWA repaints, so I can download them in bulk? If they could cross-reference themselves, even better, but no sweat.

I could do that, Peter. I'm not sure I'm following you about the cross referencing each other.I've snagged a Green Plane and Adopt A Pilot logos, so they'll be at least two more logo jets.

Chris, would you mind making a -800? SWA is gonna take delivery I believe in March, and the reg number will be N8301J.

I was JUST looking at photos of it being loaded on the train from Kansas. I'm sure it will definitely be on my list!http://www.blogsouthwest.com/blog/flash-forward-continued-progress-our-first-737-800

How do you get the external power, fuel truck and air compressor into the shot? What add-on is used for your shot?

Paul, those come with the NGX. You turn them on in the ground connection page of the CDU. The fuel truck is part of the default scenery. I use Fraps for the shots.

I could do that, Peter. I'm not sure I'm following you about the cross referencing each other.

Depending on how much shared texture sheets various repaints can use, they can be called from common texture folder, by the way of defining an additional alias in texture.cfg, and ommitting the texture sheet from the texture folder.This can be useful especially for fleet packs, when you can use for example common tail texture for fleet of 20 planes, thus reducing the bandwith and diskspace hit by quite a bit. Depending on variations within fleet, and paint detailing, you could most likely use the same texture sheet of one "master" repaint for the tails and engines, wings, mid-body, in some cases front-body, and in some cases even between variants.For example, now my OM-NGP repaint of SkyEurope airplane has 12 texture sheets, I could use probably 7 of those in every repaint of the fleet minus Adriana special (where can I use like 4).Now these repeatable 7 textures make up together 62 464kB of total of 95 937kB of every repaint.That means, that if I wanted to do every airplane (and I want to do that... eventualy), the repaints would take up ~1.56GB of diskspace, and depending on PMDG compression mechanism which seems quite good, about 200mb in ptp files.If I consider the NGP "master repaint", I can push that down to 95 937kB for P, 33 473kB for 15 other repaints (A-H, J-N, Q, + HA-LKM) and 58 049kB for "Adriana",meaning about 641mb of uncompressed and maybe 70- megabytes of ptp files.Not bad eh? Provided there is an inventory in reusable parts, which I believe you have, well you have made how many Southwest repaints?I can send you a "proof of concept" that is a non-winglet version of Swiss HB-ING I set up for KimberlyRJ, as an annex to wingleted Swiss. The livery is nothing more than a texture.cfg calling for the wingletted version textures, the ptp file is about 20kB in size.

Ah! I've got you now. I thought about that, but so far, only two share a common tail and fuse_2. The rest all have varying levels of dirt and specific details. Maybe more than that share a modified spec file or two. I'll keep that in mind as I add to the fleet.

Yes, I thought that would be a problem with Southwest. Lucky for me, SkyEurope kept their planes in mint condition right till the end.
