The paint booths of many painters are down while they learn new methods to paint.  In addition, some airframes have restricted models that hamper things a bit (until we figure out how to get around that).

The guy @DJJose pointed you to on page 21, created some color-change liveries to the base paint that practically anyone can do...heck even I can do that and I've never picked up a paintbrush in my life (Use strictly airbrushes, hehe)! 🤪  I've not attempted painting on a public release scale yet for more reasons than just "Still learning", but I've dabbled with one paint and came up with on page 11 in this thread, that is in my personal collection, to see what we're dealing with in this new sim.

In a post on page 12...I show that anyone who takes a small bit of initiative and grabs a few utilities and free paint programs can change the colors of their plane in no time....I highly encourage everyone to try it!  You can't go on YouTube these day without tripping over a paint tutorial!🤣

I can't let it go. I've tried. Aside from the Turbo Bonanza, I can't stop marveling at the VC. I also love the way it flies, the way it reacts to the speed brake, and my landing are butter with my new yoke. Too bad the dev has issues.

Agreed, its so cozy in there, and thank god for those speed brakes, the thing wont slow down if you dont plan your approach ahead. Wish the defrost was working too. 

I calmed down now, im just gonna have to be patient 😄

No defrost. LOL

I had no idea.

Hehe...I don't need it....I have the output of my Titan's cooling exhaust pointed at the windscreen....not only keeps it clear thru the worst icing conditions.....one day I had her warmed up on the ground (it was a very chilly Michigan morning)..the Titan's fan blowing directly on the windscreen...and a bird landed on it....it instantaneously burst into flames!  (Titan blower cards are renound for their jet-like sound and room-heating capabilities)🤣

Found out when i got caught in an moderate icing cloud. Got blinded for about 15 minutes, waiting for the ice on the windshield to melt on its own as the defrost had no effect... :D

Sigh....buy an old Titan (Maxwell) blower-style card...point the exhaust at the screen...problem solved. 🙂 

On a serious note for those with blower cards (traditionally flamethrowers as their side-job) that run way too hot (mine was at 83+ anytime in the sim...blower set to max...sounded like a jet).

Find one of the many you tube vids out there on how to clean them..then drop some kryonaut paste on the chip....incredible difference for me.  Was not hard at all...and you'd not believe the dust storm that came out of my cooling fins when I had direct access to them with a can of compressed air...had to do it outside. 

Spraying it with all the covers on just crams all the dust into the corners....trust me...I did that a few times over the years with no benefit of temp reduction.  Not until I opened her up and cleaned her properly, and re-pasted the chip.  (And my house is spotless, I don't live in a dust bowl...but dust WILL get into your card no matter what you do..short of simming in negative-pressure clean room aka the same you see at the various CPU chip manufacturers). 😉

If anyone's looking for a quick reference to what section of the "paint chip" changes what, I put this together a little while ago:

WARNING:  Guys....I've interacted with this "human" before....and while very cordial and helpful....I highly suspect he's "not from around these parts."  In fact...his whole "Working Title" gang show signs of greater-than-normal intellect....I mean, how else could you "rationally" explain the things they do with GPS's and the CJ4?

Please!   Be extremely careful if he ever invites you to his "house"...making any comments about "probing" to find that hidden variable in MSFS regarding VNAV or other things that have clearly befuddled all the rest of the "Humans" on this planet. 😉😉 

In fact....if you go there...get you one of them spectral analysis machines K carries around....and grab a scoop of dirt in his yard before going in.....if the meter pops green....stay away!

See what I'm referring to here....at about 3:11 into the clip:

This whole update-break plane-wait forever for fix-repeat cycle has really put a Damper on my Enthusiasm for MSFS and Carenado.

Yeah....no way around the fact it sux pretty bad...but I'm makin due with this little speedster to get my go-fast fix in a piston single until my Mooney is outta the shop.

Currently making a Jackson Hole to Cody run...about 100 miles, nice flight!

 

My Mooney's not in the shop lol.  Flyable as long as I don't press the Heading adjuster with the mouse lol.

Hehe.....as much as I think I wouldn't forget to NOT touch those things we know will CTD the session, I would inevitably touch one while on a 5 mile final from a nice, long flight....then be looking at my desktop, saying to myself "Oh yeah....I shouldn't have touched that" ...along with some words my years as a sailor taught me (not suitable for general audiences, hehe).

Will just get comfy with the Bonanza until then, let you risk-takers fly our beloved Moonster....I'll stay in a 'pit where I'm not afraid to touch something. 🤣
