Ah yes, you were the unwilling victim for that painful process.. ;)

 

Luckily my external drive backed up all that work so when I got this new 
machine I just copied it all back, without really looking through it all. There 
are other repaints too in various stages of work and I’ll sift through that lot 
in time.

 

Even with FSX running I know this would still have been a painfully slow 
process so MCX has proved invaluable.  I note that it has far more powerful 
functions than just displaying repaints so I must look at the manual to see 
what else it can do.

 

I am running FSX Deluxe Edition as installed straight from the DVD. I still 
have to check to see what updates and tweaks are needed to make it work better. 
It says it is fsx-sp2 (10.0.61472) so I hope that is reasonably up to date.

Hi Bones,

I remember working with you on these repaints a few years back. You didn't have 
fsx installed, so you'd do some checkered textures and I'd load them into fsx 
and send you screenshots. Then you'd tweak things and resend for more 
screenshots. If I recall, they took a while! ModelConverterX makes it all so 
much easier.

OK Peter.

 

In the meantime I have uploaded repaints of the FSX Cessna 208 and the 
Bombardier CRJ700. As with the A321 the texture sets are basic so I can’t put 
registrations on the wings. The differing scales of objects like doors also 
make the stripes almost impossible to line up but I have blended these with 
shading to reduce the appearance of zigzags..

 

I can see why I didn’t finish these two earlier. Again, without Model Conv X 
these would have been a nightmare to work on..

I need to do a bit more work on M-JHBC.  I discovered a few oddities of 
symmetry I need to resolve.

On revisiting the repaints page I see I have been a little remiss on one 
matter. I have not been completely uniform in adding credits to each repaint. 

 

I have added the painter to most aircraft listed but I see gaps. If you have 
sent me a repaint and it is missing appropriate credit please let me know and I 
will correct it immediately.
