Club508 Aircraft Repaint Requests

[Club508]

Just post here if you want to give me a aircraft repaint request.

[Club508]

I can create both FS2004 and FSX textures.
    Just so you know, in FS2004 I'm able to create textures that glow like neon at night, but only on some aircraft!

    Hey guys. (and girls).  I just noticed that the three aircreaft repaints I uploaded to Simviation one or two days ago aren't on the website for download.  If anyone knows why that's going on please let me know.

If you read the readme, that was an example I made to show how simple the drawing in the request could be.

By the way, the way I upload my textures is change one of the sections in the aircraft.cfg file to make the aircraft selection menu say like instead of maybe for variation, instead of "World Travel", say "AER LINGUS", like I did in my Boeing 747-400 AER LINGUS texture (which looked nothing like the basic sketch image).

The way I make the textures is that did all the stuff I mentioned is:
Step 1: Make copy of the files ending in _T or _t
Step 2: Open the copy in DXTBMP and save them as 24 bit windows bipmap so my image creator can open it.
Step 3: Repaint the aircraft. (I don't use layers)
Step 4: Copy the image and then paste into Paint.NET so the image and save it as a bitmap.  (The image creator I use can't save a image you create.)
Step 5: Open the image in DXTBMP and save them as Direct Draw Surface DXT5 (aka: DDS DXT5)
Step 6: Make a copy of the entire texture of the aircraft I'm repainting.
Step 7: Delete the files ending in _T or _t in the new texture folder and replace them with the ones I made that have the exact same names as the ones deleted.
Step 8: Copy the aircraft.cfg file.
Step 9: Replace the text in quotation marks next to ui_variation to what I want it to say for the variation in the aircraft selection menu.
Step 10: Save and replace the original aircraft.cfg file with the new one.
Step 11: Test in FSX

In FS2004, my textures AWLWAYS work for me when I test them.
In FSX...   well...   that's where I run into problems.
So I don't need work with FS2004 Hagar, just FSX.

The principle is exactly the same in FSX.

By the way you guys, (and girls), I'm currently working on creating some glowing textures for the default FS2004 Boeing 737-400.  They glow at night when you turn the landing lights on. They should only take me about ten more minutes to complete all the conversions and I'm making this one a download you can just install into the aircraft folder on it's own so you don't have to move the aircraft.cfg and texture folders around.  If one of you is willing to give me your email address I can go ahead and send it to you as an attachment so you don't have to wait the 1 or 2 days for it to be checked by Simviation for upload.

Well if it is the same Hagar, why did the textures go crazy on me?!?!?!?
