So you have an Aircraft you'd like to repaint sections on, or maybe add some Shading in the cockpit or, repaint the entire cockpit.
how do you find what areas to paint tho ?
where exactly is that Flight Yoke stand, or windows pane or seat ?
1st thing ya gotta do is FIND the File, then SAVE - SAVE - SAVE that file somewhere else, I create another Folder in that Airplane Folder itself and call it
A SPARE Folder ,,,,, that way Windows reads it in alphetibcal order and keeps that A SPARE FOLDER at the Top of all the other Folders in the Aircraft section.
Then I go back to the FILE I want to ,,, PAINT & Screw up, and believe me, it will get messed up , and that's ok, because I SAVED a Backup File !!!!
So now I start adding all kinds of different colors to find where I need to paint
Have to use DIFFERENT COLORS so you can PIN POINT exactly the area you want to add color to.
if you don't and paint everything the same, you'll be confused when you load up the aircraft and all parts are painted RED or blue or yellow ,,,
So paint different sections different colors, then when you load up the Aircraft , you can easily identify where exectly your painting on the file.
Its somewhat time consuming !!!
and ALWAYS make sure you SAVE the Newly re-painted file into the Exact Same format that it was Before you jacked it all up !!
Below are a few examples of some of my INTERIOR repaints for passenger aircraft, these are the Raw re-painted files .
1 is a Search & Find File , as you'll notice.
The little brightly colored file is a Neon Color file I use with a Light Map file for Neon Lighting inside a particular Hanger I have
Anyway, have a Gander at the Quirky World I live in re-painting files , very time consuming and frustrating at times
