Just a question

Some days ago I visited this , really nice, site for the first time.
In the download gallery I found quiet a big number of amazingly goodlooking repaints.

I downloaded some of them and I discovered almost all of these repaints being made in march,april and may of this year.

Tried to find the name of the maker of this wonderfull work but I could not.

Some readme files tell me the repaints have been made by the Flight Simulator Guide Team.

Other files gave me the impression this Flight Simulator Guide Team did not do all the repaints alltough the install text gave the impression they did.

Can anyone make this clear to me?


Regards

Welcome to FSG!

Well, all repaints currently listed here are my work, but the Simubuild A340-600 repaints include the aircraft model, so those files are created by Simubuild. The textures are done by me, I had to build a paintkit for it because there isn't one made by Simubuild (they closed down before there was a decent paintkit available).

I did not have much time for repaints lately, so it's some time ago...but I'll make more repaints in the future.

Thanks Chris for the info.

You must have been painting continuesly almost around the clock during this three months.
I know many of the repaints are similar except for the name and registration, but nevertheless it must have been a huge project.

Personally I do (mostly) repaints for small ,sometimes really complicated, airplanes and I fully understand the complexety of this artwork you made for the simming-community.

Keep up the good work!

Kind regards

I did indeed

Yes, the klm repaints for the 737-800 are painted in all registrations, that was a big project. But all the other ones are uniqe, the a340-600 repaints took me about 3-4 days for every single repaint.

I see you've been busy as well! A lot of general aviation and other small aircraft repaints. I am more interested in big jets, so I never took the time to paint GA aircraft.
