TigerTigerM Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Unusual livery on this MaddogX MD-82 near Arlanda. Not sure if its meant to look like this, or is in need of repair. The aircraft reg, (LN-RMD), is back to front too. TTM (P3D v4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 TTM, no disrespect to the painter here, but this reminds me of the old days when the artist Alexander Calder was commissioned to design paints for Braniff Airlines. The pilots hated the avant garde splotches and took much kidding from pilots of other airlines. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 What an odd livery, it looks like civilian camouflage, but do like the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little disappointing as that's an 'interesting' livery and you had some nice background for it. Ask for a refund! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickel Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Looks like the .bmp wasn't flipped before saving the .dds (or was when it shouldn't have been). Show me a painter who hasn't done that at last once! Mike Note - you might even be able to fix it yourself. Download DXTbmp, open the dds, flip it (an up/down arrow button on the bottom left) and save. Can't see why it wouldn't work. Edit again: I've just downloaded and installed. Looks fine. It's an updated zip file. Try re-downloading and re-install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyJohnJohn Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Until I saw the photos, I was going to say 4:45 pm Friday afternoon rush out the door from the Paint Shop, but I guess not! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 My research shows it was painted by Birgitta Hoevenen, daughter of maintenance man Thordis Hoevenen. Thordis was taking care of his little daughter that day and was trying to keep her busy. He gave her some paint and paper and told her to "paint an airplane." She took him literally.
