F28 Paintkit

BOOMer

Hi there,
As the plane should be available this week is there any possibility to get the paintkit already so we can start work on liveries ? :)
Thanks so much and keep up the good work guys.
Cheers

Waiting for your liveries to appear on the .to! I know you were excited to paint before the release, so I can imagine you've started cranking out paints! Let us know when we can grab them

@dadgametime already did some homework ;) but sadly I can’t make them work and shareable. They work only when I put them directly in the main aircraft file but not outside of it. I need to dig a bit to understand what is the problem.

dadgametime

@boomer You must not be the only one. I half expected to see a dozen liveries appear today on the .to but not a single one.

BOOMer

@dadgametime yeah maybe there is a bug somewhere. I’ll have a look tomorrow and let’s see if anybody else find a way to make them work

dadgametime

@boomer I just finished two liveries, sort of...

BOOMer

@dadgametime cool :) do they work on your side ?

A few liveries are now available here: https://flightsim.to/liveries/fokker-f28-professional/

Here is my first finished livery : https://flightsim.to/file/58087/just-flight-fokker-f28-4000-helvetic-airways-fictional

I will try to work on other different liveries in the near future so stay tuned :)

In the mean time enjoy this beautiful aircraft from Just Flight

@boomer beautiful job. I’ve done a few so far. They all work. My only issue was some tearing in the nose and some dummy windows appearing, but it was because there were some files I needed to add to the directory, but it’s working fine now. No idea why I was having the issue, but it’s fixed.

BOOMer

@dadgametime happy you found a fix for your problem and please share your livery on flightsim.to I would love to see your work :)

@boomer I’m still trying to figure out how to redo the seats in the cabin to look like brown vinyl instead of the blue cloth. I’m not great at dealing with the materials in liveries. I posted a screenshot here to show you where I am with them so far.

BOOMer

@dadgametime yeah it not always an easy part if you need to deal with material texture and so on. But your liveries looks gorgeous so far :D

@boomer I bought a video years ago of the Canadian North 737-200, and it included their flights in half the dvd of the Canadian North F28-1000 C-FTAR and they do a walk around of the plane and the cockpit and it’s in the Canadian Regional livery but with Regional replaced with North like I’ve done here. So basically recreating the plane from the video. And the other is another that started life as a Canadian Regional plane and they ultimately repainted the tail and changed out the words over the door. So just my attempt to recreate planes for one of my favorite airlines to simulate.
