Hi Christian, Thanks a lot  I've used a lot of ImpulseAI paints, but I don't see the UPS OC paint there? I can't find the AirTran paint in your Box account, either. Mayhaps I'm just overlooking these. Chris |

I'll have to figure out which package it is in and post it here. I could have bet money on those UPS jets being on their website. I'll post them up for all to enjoy!  (What sort of aircraft are you going to do for ABX?) |

Hi Christian,
A look back in the Wayback Machine reveals the UPS MD-11's indeed used to be there, but have since been taken down.
The ABX 727 (blue tail), 767 in the old colors, Cessna, Piper, Shorts SD330 and SC-7, and Metroliner will all be done.

How about using the new FSP M11 model instead? The UTT had never made it due to the issues with copyright of I remember correctly.

Here is the pack where the AirTran CRJ-200 is: app.box.com/s/sxjazozhi1f6cgpx6myaayyybxl78simABX had Metro's, Cessna's, Shorts' , and Piper's? :-D |

Thanks Christian! I'll probably use the FSP, I completely forgot about it's release. I honestly don't know if they were actually operated by ABX or a subsidiary airline of some kind, but Ultimate Traffic has them on the schedule. Now... about 4 hours later and I think this one is as good as can be done with the limitations of the paintkit. Now to figure out if releasing it will bring a copyright strike on me    |

Wow! Pretty colors! Let me know if I can help in any way. The cargo scene is one of my hobbies! If it includes Cessna's, Piper's, and Metro's - I'm in! (What sort of FP's does Ultimate Traffic have for those aircraft?) |

Thanks a bunch Christian, I'd be glad to have your help!
They also had Beech C99's and I need a good DC-9 paint for it, alongside the ones mentioned.
Ultimate Traffic shows the 'Piper Light Aircraft' (it does not clarify exactly what kind) operated sporadically over the US, in places like northern California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, Kansas, Texas and New Mexico. Most of the routes are not linked and mostly operate between two or three airports within the named states.
It shows the 'Cessna Light Aircraft' (again, it does not clarify exactly what kind) operating sporadically over the US also, but it shows up a bit more in the east (Georgia, North Carolina, etc.)
The C99 operates sporadically in the western US.
The Metroliner operates a single route in south Texas, looks like Corpus Christi to San Antonio.
The Shorts SC-7 just sort of operates randomly it seems.
The SD-330 operates a single set between airports in the Ohio valley (Marion, IL; Wilmington, OH; Charlottesville, VA and Lynchburg, VA)
Thanks again!

From what you just described: It sounds like Ameriflight handles that Metro, and those "light Pipers and Cessna's." More than likely a Navajo or a Lance/Cherokee 6. The Cessna's too - maybe a Cessna 402. The Beech C99's could be Ameriflight or other random companies - Majestic, for example. (Various paints are available for these aircraft - including an ABX C99.) Cessna's operating around that part of the world could be Ram Air Freight. They operated out of NC, VA, GA, SC, and so on. Cessna 402's were their biggest aircraft, I think. Piper Lance's, Seneca's, and various other types would be acceptable. Air Cargo Carriers may operate the pair of Shorts' . They fly into VA and WV a lot in real life. In KROA, we see one on Saturdays for the UPS packages. They usually stay up near KCRW and go back to KSDF or KILM, in this case. I know there is a big package of ACC Shorts' 330's and 360's out for download. No SC-7, however, is painted in ACC colors. Looks like a lot of pre-Ameriflight ops before they went out on their own, per se. Did ABX have YS-11's in 2003? I'd love to see a good set of FP's for them. One thing about ABX is their hub: KILN - has no real good scenery. I'd love to take on that airport but I have no good photography of the area. (Unless someone has a good scenery in mind...) |

Christian, Your powers of deduction are far better than mine The only 'weirdness' I can find here is that Ultimate Traffic has a schedule for Air Cargo Carriers, operating a few spots in Texas with another of those Cessna Light Aircrafts. Also, sorry to disappoint, but ABX got rid of their YS-11's no later than 2002, but if you wanted to add a few in, Ultimate Traffic makes it relatively easy. As for KILN, perhaps one day I could get a simple scenery of that one up and running, maybe by 2020 Chris |

This one is fresh out of the paint hangar, and actually took me a good minute to find in sim because it was the only such aircraft painted this way. It'll be a good rare visitor for you  |

Air Cargo Carriers do have a few Caravan's flying around nowadays - the SC-7 would have been it's 2003 counterpart.
I would like to see some YS-11's and a good KILN scenery... I wonder if one of those vintage aerials websites would have KILN?...
