Agree completely with FScamp. Who ever say that this:

 

Is the worst model that exists, than i´m wondering where is Abacus in this scale. Yes, there are many better ones, but it´s far from be the worst. It has wingflex, an exceptional sound package, all the needed systems to do a complete flight and the best: the performance in fs is perfect. I have all of them ngx, leveld, md11, CLS, etc. and i like them the same way. Yes, it´s very expensive for the fs standards, but it doesn´t take out it´s merits. So, if you don´t like it because you saw a picture in the net or don´t have the money to buy it, don´t bash it just for what you think it is without knowing it with facts.

It's not too bad. Especially after sooping up the avionics a little bit.

A nice jet to just get in, fire up and go.

LAN please!

 

After seeing this bird in person I have to agree- that livery suits the 788 very well. Just got started, so quite a ways to go (star color, alignments, belly, etc):

 

 

Thanksssssssss! Beautiful! When you finish please share with us ... :lol:

Now en route to EDDF (and to avsim, as long as it's accepted!). Took some time to get the alignments in the paint kit to work out, but this is probably as close as I'll get with this one.

 

Name: LAN Airlines Boeing 787-8

 

 

FYI, had it pulled from the avsim library because of problems with the night and LM textures.

 

No idea why, but the night textures (same resolution as day) blur/smear when visible. The day textures have no such issue. Unless saved in 888-32 this occurs, and I'm loathe to upload a set of textures where the fuse, LM, and wing textures are 16mb each.

 

Unless that's not taboo nowadays.....?

 

Chock, I've seen you mention photoshop teaching- have you ever seen this behavior with the night textures in-sim?

Amazing work!!!!!!! Looking forward to it!

Uploading to Avsim now. "LAN Airlines Boeing 787-8 (update)"

 

This is one strange model in the way it manages night masks... Being a bush league painter doesn't help!

Very nice repaint! LAN and 787 are a sexy combination.

Thanks Dan! Amaaaaaazing work! :drinks:

Thanks for the support B) Definitely let me know if you see problems or have tips as I'm doing a lot of learning on the fly (no pun intended). Will keep trying to improve for the next one currently in the shed (hoping to sharpen the rivets/joints this time around):

 

EARLY stage:

 

Here i am in preparation for a long trip to SBGR from SCEL:

 

 

Thanks again Dan! By the way, the Air India is becoming a winner too ^_^

Looks like Air India beats Qatar to Heathrow after all ^_^ Note: the petal distortion is due to the fuselage curve & camera angle in this shot.

 

FYI I'll be posting later paints in the Aerosim support forum from now on under a 787 thread:

 

 

Hopefully leaving the paint shed this weekend (will post in "now avail" thread then, so guess I'll keep previews here).
