...Ive been repainting.  I decided to repaint Eugene Heyart's wonderful Super Otter.  After seeing this pic of a rust's flying service plane, I knew I had to paint.http://www.airliners.net/open.file/630540/M/

Normally, my paints suck.  But this one turned out extremely well.  Im not trying to brag about myself, but this is one of the best textures Ive seen, and definately, by far, the best thing Ive ever made for Flight Sim

First, I did it for the Amphibian because thats what the real one is


Then I did the loaded one, because its possible that the real one carries canoes because Rusts does hunting trips


While on Anet, I clicked on the registration and came up with thishttp://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?regsearch=N2899J&distinct_entry=true
As you can see, there is a wheeled version, so I did that one too.

NOTE: The spinner is silver now

Heres one more:


Im gonna package this, get the legal stuff out of the way, then upload in a few days.

For more info on Rusts: http://www.flyk2.com/1.cfm

If I want, I may do the old textures for this one, as it has been through many phases

Hope you enjoyed!

That is one sweet repaint!

Hope you upload her soon!

As soon as possible, but studying is kinda keeping me busy.

Nice one!

Okay, just checked the readme, and as far as legal stuff goes I just need to give credit where credit is do.   So once I get a readme ready (biggest PITA for a file  :P), and zip it up Ill upload it

Been uploaded.  When availiable, It will be here (rustotter.zip), Avsim (rustotter.zip) and Flightsim (sorusts.zip)

Enjoy!

Ooh nice....I need to learn how to paint...mind teaching me

I just do it in paint.  Its really not that hard.  All you need is DXTbmp and patience.

Thanks for the link..I already have DXTBMP and I have already created a repaint...I only don't know how to get the aircraft to appear in the Aircraft select menu...I did the manual way of editing the Aircraft.cfg....any ideas Jake?

Did you make sure to change the aircraft cfg?

Heres an example.  Lets say I painted the cessna.

The original entry in the cfg is this:
[fltsim.0]
title=Cessna Skylane 182S
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N778WS
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="White with green"
description="When Cessna saw how well their Model 180 was selling, they looked for a way to make it an even bigger success\s the answer was the Model 182.  The Cessna 182 Skylane feels and acts like a heavier, more powerful version of its sibling, the 172 Skyhawk.  The airplane is a workhorse and a stable platform for flying on instruments. Even with a full tank, the 182 carries a family-size useful load and performs admirably as an aerial sport utility vehicle."


Now, I copy and paste this under the last entry, which is [Fltsim.4]
And I change the values in bold:

[fltsim.5]  <-----Next number in CFG
title=Cessna Skylane 182S  My Paint   <----unique title
sim=Cessna182S
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=mypaint   <----- the texture.mypaint, always use the stuff after the period
kb_checklists=Cessna182S_check
kb_reference=Cessna182S_ref
atc_id=N778WS
ui_manufacturer=Cessna
ui_type="C182S Skylane"
ui_variation="My Cessna"  <--This is what it will show under in FS

Hope this helps

I changed some of the stuff....I'll go give the plane a try now...I'll post a screen if it's succesful...

My problem in the past was always the title.  I never got it to show, but then I realized that I had to change that

Negative...aircraft is grey...but the wing textures and all appear...just the fuselage...I suppose something with the fuselage textures....maybe I'll do a crash course in painting

Is the fuselage texture named correctly ie in the Super otter, the fuselage is named 'main' in the included texture, so it needs to be 'main' in my texture

My paint is up at avsim, on the 'Whats New' page.  It sould be here when the library is updated
