April 24, 201214 yr Just getting into it but loving messing around with Liveries. Getting there gradually but one problem keeps causing me grief--Getting alignment on the aircraft segments on the Fusilage png. I'm talking about lining up the centres of the various parts of the fusilage so as to enable the drawing of Lines/Strips across the aircraft so they match exactly when X-Plane assembles the liveries. I get there eventually by continual trial and error but its hard work there must be a ready reference point somewhere--just where?? I got there quite quickly with the LES DC3 which was a nice aircraft to work on (Again trial & error reference with aligning the front and back halves) but because there is a left & right side one can do all the work on one side--duplicate it and rename it--Bingo!! Because she's large and has certain body parts which run the length of the entire plane one can use these as a guide & it helps However the little Carenado Bonanza v1 I've just started working on has a fusilage in Three segments --one extra pain--Help please. I use Corel Photo PaintX4 rather than Corel Paint shop ProX4 (although I have both) as the former has all the assets/capabilities of the later but PhotoPaintX4 is a far more complexed program entirely.
