Christian:
I appreciate your contribution a lot. Thank you so much for these!!!
Ghana MD-11 is coming up to finish the flight plan and I don't know if there's a Meridiana BAe 146.
I know there's a few more to catch up with like finishing up the Olympic fleet, a few for the Grupo Iberia package, etc. The thing is that I've been away from home and don't have access to my FS pc. That's why I've been doing flight plans and no textures at all.
And there's more stuff coming up!!!
Eduardo

Not a problem, Mr. Eduardo. On my Box account is the second batch of AIG DC-9-50's. I was able to play around with them in sim and able to get the textures to at least look neat and line up properly. The only ones I cannot do much with are the fictional TWA jets and the Hawaiian jet. The 'Trans World' type along the fuselage isn't cooperating ('tis very blurry) and the tail/rear fuselage striping isn't lining up. The Hawaiian jet has window issues (not lining up) and the rear fuselage stripes are all to shambles. Continental is ready, but it needs a new globe on the back. There are supposed to be 6 white rings and there are only 5. If anyone wants to work on them, I'll post them up on my Box Account.

I have uploaded the .psd's to my Box Account for the trouble-maker DC-9-50's. Fiddle around at your heart's content.

I have uploaded the last real DC-9-50's to my Box Account. Continental and Hawaiian are ready. Continental still has a 5 white ring tail, but upon closer inspection, lots of tails of similar Continental a/c look very similar... so it should blend quite nicely. Northwest has seen a color-match update to match Ralf's fleet from around 1994. Hawaiian took some tinkering but all of the striping is all-lined up to the best of my abilities. Up-close, it doesn't look great. But at a distance to which you'd see if you weren't AI-ing and actually flying around in sim or taxiing on the ground, it should look good. I have a new-found respect for you painters out there. I see how hard just corrections are... I couldn't imagine doing a full paint. I hope you all enjoy the jets, chaps. I love seeing this model flying around in sim and its good to put another long-lived aardvark jet to rest with a newer contemporary.

There is a flaw with the AIG DC-9-50 paintkit that no-one really told anyone about. The fuselage pieces do not line up properly and several other areas are effected as well. (It was only a wonder why no one was painting up this model.)
What this means for repainters is that someone either has to fix the paintkit or someone has to fix the paints by hand. I know those particular repaints do not exist for the DC-9-50 AIG model... (and it pains me to say...) I'm not sure when or how they'll get done. You could email EndeavourAI's Branding Division and see if they can help out at all.

There is not much you can do except tweak what little bits you can, but you can't change the position on the model, just get them to look a bit better. I was actually working with Andy back then, and have a JPG of the WIP paint kit (not the paint kit its self). What can happen is the model gets changed and then the pain kit needs updating as well, but I don't know what the story is here. Anyway, here is the picture which does show the wireframe that the textures are built on. Paul Attachment Deleted

Attachment DeletedHere is an update to the AIG DC-9-51 Finnair paint. I updated the titles and fixed some window misalignment on the right-aft fuselage. I used Eduardo's Finnair titles... Mr. Eduardo, I hope you don't mind. If you do, good sir, I will remove it.

No problem Sr., anytime you need!!!
Now I see why the paint kit was not released. Nonetheless, I remember one of the AIG guys pointed out the existence of one on the main page but nothing was there.
Correct me if I'm wrong, did I read well on the AIG forums??? Is a DC-9-30 being worked???

I wish I knew... Andy and all of them seem to indicate that its at a standstill right now but that it does have hope of being worked on in the future. I sure hope so... Frank's (FMCs) signature pic (I think) shows an AIG DC-9-30F in DHL colors over at AIG... could be a DC-9-40F, though.

Ohh ok, so I read well, it is basically a "MAYBE" more tilted to an "I DON'T KNOW" Hopefully they come up with it, it is the only one missing.

Here is an update to the regular Northwest DC-9-50. Some windows were off slightly on the left-aft fuselage. Attachment Deleted

Hi everyone. There were some issues with the fullbody paintkit not lining up correctly but I never had the time to figure out why. I think I may have accidentally moved the alignment marks at some stage. And it only affected certain paints. It just means you need to move certain details up or down on the DC-9-50. We never had any real problems getting paints done for this bird. Anyway if you find any big errors like this please send me an email or a PM over on the AIG forums. As an aside I'm not sure I'm comfortable with someone charging to paint my aircraft. But that's just me! Also for the retro guys, the DC-9-30 has now been released as a "Public Beta" where just these sorts of issues can be reported and fixed before the model goes up to AVSIM / Flightsim. You can find the model and paintkit here; www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=17564.0Have fun.
