Thanks guys, for the info on the picture upload issue. I am lazy enough to learn no more about tech than I absolutely have to, but it's probably time that I have to learn a little more..... Eduardo, it's good to have you back, I think I have every paint you have posted in my FS world. :{)

Eduardo, it's good to have you back, I think I have every paint you have posted in my FS world. :{) There’s an application called ShareX and you can easily upload images from your desktop to imgur and from there you should be able to take the link and paste that in your posts.

744, A343, and A345 are done for SIA, I am doing the 772/773 today, and I will upload everything by the weekend. In contemporary news, I am also uploading a couple of paints for the QW 787 in this paint cycle.
Lastly, I splurged this month and got the CS 767 II. It's a blast to fly, but after flying PMDG aircraft for a long time there was a flight dynamics learning curve between publishers, and on my first try from PHNL I promptly pancaked right into the Wakiki high-rise section of Honolulu. I figured it out after that, lol. I think there are some great opportunities to paint this aircraft for the retro world, and even more when (or if) CS releases at least a GE pax model or (not holding my breath) an RR model, or even the -200s.

They’re probably gonna paywall those like the RR jets for the 757. However they included the 535C, so don’t be too surprised if they make the RR 767 model. I’m mad they deleted the pax cabin from the virtual though and that’s why I definitely wouldn’t buy it personally. I’m more anticipating the JF A300 which they hope to release by the end of the month, though I feel like it’s going to drag into January. Regardless, I can’t wait for a replacement to the arguably mediocre Simcheck A300.

Yes, CS will for sure charge probably $30-40USD per variant I'd imagine. Now, the past several years, Captain Sim has has a Festivus Sale, on the fake Seinfeld holiday LOL. During that sale, every product is $19.99 or $9.99 and that is when I usually buy stuff like the 767 which I find to be a bad price for what you get. Be careful, though, as products that are CHEAPER than the sale price are also raised to the standard price during the sale LOL. December 23rd, keep an eye out.

CS used to do it on their anniversary (August 21), but that's good info, as I will probably lay in wait for the P3Dv4 777, plus the L1011 and 737. They can keep the 757 for now, I am perfectly satisfied with the QW which does have a 64-bit variant.

I like Quality Wings, but the Captain Sim 757 is so much more detailed and immersive. It can be a little buggy compared to Quality Wings, but for $9.99-19.99, I'd recommend it for sure, at least one variant.

I just uploaded the SQC B744Fs, two variants, the companion to the SQ pax 744s from last week....
I've got my eye on the CS 777 for P3Dv4, it has the older 200/200ER and 300-non-ER models suitable for retro, just waiting for Festivus.... also the L-1011 and 737-200. I have all of these for FSX/P3D, but it will be nice to have them in 64-bit. If I have any money left over I will consider the 757.

It is worth noting that with the Captain Sim 757s, if you only own the RR and now the PW for example, all repaints will work with the model you own even if not intended to. So you won't be limited there so long as you don't mind the lack of realism having RR Northwest 757s or whatever.

Well technically Northwest had RR 757s from Republic for a brief time, so that’s not entirely ahistorical.

Which, I wish someone would paint. I don't think any got the full NW livery? This image brought me to a really cool site by the way with the history of Northwest and Republic's 757s: northwestairlineshistory.org/aircraft-boeing-757-200/

So, now this is getting slightly frustrating.... I can't post pictures on my thread but other people can, not sure how that works....
.... Anyways, Santa was listening on Chasen's last post. I actually did N603RC in my NWA 752 package from about ten years ago, but I used the 535 model. So, I am taking the paints back into the shop for a version-2 remake, and Chasen's two posted aircraft pix are already done. I am color-matching the NWA red to my FAIB 747s, putting more crisp graphics on, and using the proper RR models this time. I had a screenshot, but, alas, I can't post pictures, so they will be done hopefully before tomorrow.

Unless you've been having trouble doing that as well... Either way, can't wait for those NWA 75s, hope you have more NWA and NWO paints cooking as well.

I did lots of NWO/NWA paints about ten years ago, except for some touch-ups here and there, they should still be good (and convertible to DDS)..... :{)
