I know most repainters have moved onto to MSFS 2020/24 but i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get an Iberia DC-9 in the old 1980s livery for any of the Aardvark dc-9 models? or if anyone is good enough at repainting that could paint one up real quick. i have searched everywhere and can not find one. all the dc-9s i have found are in the 1970s livery and i am not a fan of that one.

I am learning to repaint but i am not good enough yet to paint curved lines or i would paint it myself.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Post a pic of the livery you're interested in and someone might find something for you.

Not familiar with Aardvark models, so this question might seem a little superfluous, but is it an ai aircraft you're after or a flyable one?

Thanks for the response and tip, Chris.

I should have posted a pic from the beginning.

It is a AI aircraft using David Rawlins (ai aardvark) DC-9 model with this Iberia livery on it. (without the dark soot on the tail from the engine exhaust. LOL)

Aaah ... there's one of those in Traffic 2005 ... like this https://app.box.com/s/queuutkcymwanzo2se474pc8owmksxp7

Sorry, can't insert an image, you'll have to click the link to get it 😞

Traffic 2005 is widely available second-hand these days for very little money at on-line auction sites and similar ... "alternative" sources may be found 😉

Oleg Chernikov (aka Aleck) from Retro AI site released once his RAI package for several flying eras. The common aircraft folder also includes also this DC-9-30 Iberia. In my case, it appears while using his 1991 traffic.

 

That's the aircraft.cfg entry:

[fltsim.4]
title=Iberia Douglas DC-9-32
sim=aia_dc_9_30
model=reflective
texture=iberia1
atc_id=EC-BIG
atc_airline=Iberia
ui_manufacturer=Douglas
ui_type=DC-9-30
ui_variation=Iberia
description=AI Aardvark DC-9-30
visual_damage=0

At least, this model isn't that worth like the awful Traffic 2005 aircraft suggested by Chris., And I mean all of them, BTW!

Bernard, i went to the site you suggested and i searched, "Iberia" "dc-9" "Oleg Chernikov" and "Aleck" and i came up with nothing. i searched them all separately to get better results. 

The package is available here:
