May 7, 201313 yr Hello Just wanted to ask a quick and small question so please, to all those who want to rip or chirp me for it seeing as it isn't out yet, please refrain. When the T7 comes out and the paint kits released, will they be as friendly and easy-to-use as the NGX? Tnx! Marc M.
May 7, 201313 yr Commercial Member No, they're going to make an about face, change their unofficial policy and make it difficult to use, just for funsies. Two layers will be hidden, one will be misaligned, and certain maps will not be shown, and it will be the wrong file type. GOOD LUCK MAN! (If you don't get the reference, it's a reference to Mitch Hedberg, but the YouTube versions of the sketch contain profanity, so I figured I wouldn't link it, but it's his "Three Easy Payments" sketch...) In all seriousness, I don't quite understand why you'd ask if it would be just as easy. I really don't think they'd intentionally make it harder to use. Kyle Rodgers

Well, compare the NGX and the 744 paintkits and you will understand where I am coming from.. Marc M.
May 7, 201313 yr Commercial Member Well, compare the NGX and the 744 paintkits and you will understand where I am coming from.. 744 came out well before the NGX, and I'm not sure if they changed it between the original FS9 version to the FSX version, so that would make it even older. Sorry - didn't mean to harp on you, but it wouldn't seem at all logical that it would get more difficult if the latest version is relatively easy. Kyle Rodgers
May 7, 201313 yr Commercial Member was just wondering thinking it is a more complex plane It's certainly larger! Kyle Rodgers
May 7, 201313 yr Doubt it will be any different than NGX to bad it's a real pain to work with - that new majestic kit isin't to bad especially creating night textures. Rich Sennett
May 7, 201313 yr I just wish someone could teach me to paint these birds since i dont know how. Kind regards Mattias Nordgren PRO-ATCX BETA TEAM
May 7, 201313 yr Best you don't know unless you have a lot of time you can waste, nothing written in stone with painting models way to much trial and error involved = to much time to finish one. Rich Sennett
May 7, 201313 yr Time is not a factor for me and im willing to make my mistakes we all do in the begining. Kind regards Mattias Nordgren PRO-ATCX BETA TEAM
May 7, 201313 yr Not about making mistakes, it can very frustrating, anyway give it a try cant hurt. Rich Sennett
May 7, 201313 yr What kind of paint program do i need is there a good freeware program i can download or do i have to buy a program? Kind regards Mattias Nordgren PRO-ATCX BETA TEAM
May 7, 201313 yr I only work in photoshop which is not free but maybe someone else can you help you with freeware Rich Sennett
May 8, 201313 yr I don't use this but I was curious...looks like a good tool, unless anyone knows better. Maybe good for the beginner? http://www.flightsimtools.com/repaintwiz/ Dave David Hallyburton
