I'll check that out right away. Thanks for the info. I'd like to design livery but unfortunately the price of PSP is a little too much to me. I'm making my research for another, cheaper tool, that'll do the job correctly. The thing is, practicing for a while on some basic tools to get the basics of livery design is my short term goal, but in the end if my liveries get the required quality, I'd like to have them downloadable on avsim.... Let's see if it works. Sorry for my late replies, as part of my real life is flying a real airliner with real passenger on my back ;-) and I just finished my full rating on the B737NG (800) and I'm enjoying it A LOT!! Thanks for the reminder! I stand corrected ;-)

Thanks! I didn't know that PMDG Paint Kits had instructions regarding the textures files format. I'll check that out. Thanks for that info! I'm discovering the whole livery design process curently so any info is helpful, even if it sounds "basic" to you ;-) Ok, so DXTbmp can be "avoided" now with the Photoshop plugin? That's great! thanks! That's what I got on my MacBookPro. Sounds good! Thanks! So Photoshop is the most "obvious" software for livery design? Bootcamp is somewhat my "second choice", I'm not fond of letting Microsoft enter my Mac Laptop.... Maybe a bit supersticious :-) Thank you very much for your help folks. So regarding your last post, Photoshop seems to be THE tool for livery design. Is there any other tool that would be Mac compatible for livery design? Any idea of the price for these softwares? Photoshop looks very expensive, I don't know if I can afford it right now.... Thanks! Happy New Year to you all! David

Hi everyone, I haven't been on the forum for a long time, but I decided to step out and start a new topic, as I decided to try myself at livery design. For now I love working pictures on a MacBookPro running on OSX El Capitan. And I was wondering if FSX and PMDG livery designing would be possible on a Mac. PhotoShop exists and is available for Mac for instance, and as I work a lot on Mac, that would be great if I could design liveries on this laptop. Any suggestion, ideas, or advice would be really much, much appreciated. On another side I'm getting bored of seeing always the same liveries made over and over again for the same airlines/aircraft (The Lufthansa 747-8i is just too much to me!) and I'd love to see more FS fun, with original liveries, and creations of my own that I could set available for download on Avsim.... Waiting for your replies! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you all! David

Hi everyone!So here i am: i decided to buy FSbuild following your suggestions... And after a few days of trial, i must say that i'm really unhappy with it! I found this tool uneasy to use, with difficulties to export flight plans to FS9 and particularly to the PMDG 747... The flight plans provided are accurate but for long haul flights it becomes harder to get actual step climb path and other... Someone said that it has a somewhat old interface... That's an understatement! The tutorials are unreadable and incomplete... in one word: useless! I paid 27

Wow all that looks awesome! thanks to everyone for the help!

Hi Tom!Sorry for the late reply...First, many thanks for your help, I've been on hifisim.com, and this could be what I was looking for...!In fact I'm searching a tool, a add-on or anything that could provide a flight planning with a log, based on actual and real time weather data... The aim is to use a plane with a more accurate fuel calculations. So far I've been using the standard FS9 feature that enables to integrate the true worldwide weather condictions, to get actual cruise winds, etc... But this tool doesn't let you know about any value, so no possibility to enter it on FMS... And that's what I'm looking for! Do you think the hifisim products can do that?Thanks a lot for your help!Dave

Hi everyone,I'm new here, so this thread may have been discussed already, but I'm asking the question anyway to you all great experts of the MSFS World!Here it is: Does anyone have something to get actual winds on a route (or an average trip wind, like a Tail or Head value?), including long haul routes, when using the actual meteorolical conditions (loaded via the standard FS2004 tool into FS2004...)?I've been searching the net for such a tool but found nothing...Any suggestions?ThxDave

Hi everyone!I've been a PMDG fan for some years now, and I honestly love the idea of seeing a PMDG A320 some day... I tried the Wilco one, and I've been trully desapointed to say the less... So I'm wainting a lot from the PMDG one (As I also fly a real A320 in real life!)For a future developpement, I have a question: Isn't it more simple for developpers to create an A330/A340 family after the A320? There are a lot in common, "panel talking", between the 20s and 30s/40s... Lots of similar gauges I guess... So will a A330/340 family come sooner than a 777 family? Otherwise, I can't wait to see either a 777 or a 330/340 made by PMDG so, anything will be much appreciated, though my preference would go for a goog old 777!To me, anything the others do, PMDG does it better! So thanks for your job!David
