Proper 2D panels for everything, respect!

Even main VFR 2D panels? My wallet is now afraid...

 Does anyone know if there is a 737MAX8 profile available for PFPX?

 

Is there a simbrief one too.  Thanks

Need to adjust the blue color (I'm using the official color but it looks too dark in the sim).  Should be ready to upload soon.

 

Let me ask you guys who've seen this livery in real life (I haven't)....the blue is too dark right?

It seems to match the shade of blue in the link below, Steve.....

Thanks Christopher!  Unfortunately that pic has a filter applied to it making the blue seem darker.  To compound matters....shading in the sim impacts dark colors pretty intensely.

In this screen...I adjusted the tail and winglet colors to make them lighter, and left the AirEuropa on the fuse the same color as a reference.

As you can see, the tail looks like, as does the winglet on the left wing.  However, the right wing winglet, at a 45 degree downward angle to the sun's position, looks much darker, even though its the exact same color as the left winglet in the sun.  Also demonstrated by looking at the bottom of the right winglet that is facing towards the sun.

This is one of the hardest things to get right when painting, when looking thru hundreds of pics and seeing so many shade variations based on time of day, season, weather and of course filters the photographer may have applied when post-processing the pic.  And naturally the color settings on my own monitor can impact them as well....hehe the least fun part of painting. 😞

 

Did some more tweaking....going with this....on the winglet you can see in this pic the color both in the sun and shade....I think it looks just about right! 🙂

Oh wow Maxime!   I forgot that SWA was doing the retro livery on the MAX....I know its gonna be stunning!   I'll fly her for sure out of KDAL just a few miles from my real-life home. 🙂

AirEuropa EC-NBL uploaded....will be available as soon as the Library mods post her.   I've wanted to paint this livery for ages....never got around to it until the Max project. 🙂   I really like it's colors and simplicity.
