Hello,

Does anyone know of repaints for any AI model for ITA Airways? I'd love to be able to replace my Alitalia widebodies.

Thank you kindly,

Neil

 

 

ITA doesn't operate 787's but you can find some amazing ai paints for them here.

Thanks Dave, I appreciate you providing the link!

Best,

Neil

You are using a 22+ year old sim, you must know by now that paints are paints and to get crafty with adding your own. AIi liveries for any version of P3d and up to MSFS2024 will still work with FS9 as long as they are for the same model. Compare them with DXTbmp and most likely just have to save them as BMP.

Ya, not so much for me, Dave. I have been away from "modding" FS9 for quite some time, and have been happily flying all the reworked FS9 world I created from years ago. Much of what is old news to you is new to me.

That said, I downloaded ModelConverterX_180 & MakeMDL and seem to have created a FS9 model and textures for the ITA A330-900 repaint. I uses DXTBitmap to convert textures to .BMP and flipped them, and all looks good when viewing the plane in ModelConverterX_180. I then added my plane to my aircraft file using AIFP3, and recompiled. I assigned one flight plan to this new plane, but FS9 doesn't recognize that the plane exists, so I missed a step somewhere. I am sure it is obvious to most, but if someone can help me analyze, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks very much.

Neil

 

Edit: please disregard my call for help. I saw my new ITA plane land at KORD as expected, so all is good!!!!
