I started to try to understand the texture process to change planes's skins this morning ... and great it finally works ! Really happy to get results ! Thanks to Gimp (freeware) which is quite intuitive for basic use (but very complexe to fully understand :P) - I 've used also fsrepaint for text and check

 

Of course many things to learn and a lot of mistakes to correct but it is great to see it already flying O0 

 

This livery is completely improvised - just to see how to do :lol:

(reversed text to correct !!)

PS : I got uncorrect texture compression in P3Dv5 ... need to find the right process

Happy Flights in Africa O0

Excellent set of shots Jean Marc! :)

 

Many Thanks Adam  ... The best is to look for information about the place before to fly and then to imagine the real place, amazing people and wildlife, geological wonders and so during the flight O0

Lovely looking images and a great attempt at painting.

 

We have to start somehow. The rest comes with experience. I love the rust colour and the rock paintings on the  left hand side

 

Many Thanks :) Rock art everywhere is wonderful ... Amazing memories from the past, from another world : many girafs and crocodiles, gazels, panthers, palm trees and water channels several thousand years ago in the at present desert !

Ah, I know: Superjean Kent!

As you can see from my screenshot reports I keep on flying from one place to another, even if this includes jets at high altitude.
