Freedom 1

I have been addicted to FSPassengers (granted I have the payware version now but you can get the whole program and only fly out of San Fran) and have created my own virtual airlines for the program. I have recently upgraded my primary jet from a Boeing 717 to a Boeing 737-800 (a LOT of flight hours its taken so far) but I wanted a new repaint so I created this which included a picture tail. Took a bit to clone and copy, smudge, and stuff since it was just a picture of an eagle over part of a flag, but I think it turned out pretty well

The main logo for the airline is the sun with the shades since my virtual airline homebase is in Florida

Tell me what you think. I would love replies and suggestions

Main coloras are orange and blue

Image

The leading edge of the tail doesnt quite match up yet but its not so far off that its terribluy noticable, but this is a close up of the images towards the front of the aircraft including a Support Our Troops ribbon, a First Place (customer satisfaction vote :P, the boeing logo, and a Fly-in image logo I found on the web)

Image

The curve was a pain since I am using bezirs (sp) curve

Thanks for the comments :D (good or bad ;) )

I'd say:....Are you gonna upload that paint scheme someway or another!? Lovely pics too! BTW You might wanna have a look at the fictional southwest Eagle one 737 at avsim....look in the library under the fs9 originals..it's the top 1. It think you'll like it

I doubt I would upload it since its just a SaVas AIR paint. if I do a real airline repaint then yes I would. The SaVas AIR paints are just my "learning templates" :D

I think that paint scheme rocks - well done SaVaS.

I've never done a repaint, was it a pain in the rrrr's or was it fairly straight-forward??

I'd love to do a 'TSC Air - Landing With A Flare' scheme.

Nice work!  Blue and orange are one of my favorite schemes.

Cant wait til my P-38 skin reaches that level of quality!  It's still all blurry due to the mips.

Very nice, Savas, very nice.  I have also started my own airline with FSPassengers.  Think its the coolest thing to come along in some time.  But I'm not into painting, so will have to get someone to do a paint for me some time.
FSPassengers sure lets you know how good, or not so good a pilot one is, very quickly.  The fear factor of my passengers has not subsided one little bit, even with great food, movies and drinks  ha ha

OK Cleaned up the tail a bit; faded the star edging better, added a couple more stripes, cleaned up a little on the fuselage, etc. Just need to fix the edging on the tail and she will be done

And here she is at night

SaVas, it really looks great!

Yeah, FSpax really does give you a great sense of piloting abilities...so far I've done pretty well, the only place I lose points are for late arrivals...but I can't wait for a real windy, foggy, rainy, approach into some airport w/ a short runway...short runway for an A320 at least.
