I really appreciate that new developers are active and working on models and paintkits for the little (and shrinking) AI community.

Both the 732 and 733 are looking good, again congrats, even I notice differences between your 732 and the UTT one. Nitpicking? Maybe, maybe not.

Regarding the (available) paintkits - I'm personally not that happy with those shining and shadows and metallic, but that's very subjective.

Also providing only an FSX based paintkit leaves out FS9 users. Resizing (as you already mentioned in your readme's) ends in unsharp lines and contrasts, with the effect, that converting with DXTBMP will result in additional artifacts. One can do very sharp repaints for FS9 too, as long as having 72dpi in mind.

Once again just my one cent on the way ;-). Looking forward for the next models out of your factory.

Thanks again and cheers

Actually Dieter the paintkit can provide very nice FS9 repaints, just got to know how to handle it, its got some quirks over other paintkits but once you get the hang of them the FS9 repaints can look as good as the FSX versions and far better than the AIA paints they replace.

I know it says not to but this is a curiosity question you plan on doing the Indonesian AWAC variant for your 200 model

Congrats Erez! These boys look even better than the 200! When can we expect the pks to be available? :)

Cheers

As soon as I finish porting the models to FS9 the next beta will begin.
I also plan on making a special "adaptive" FS9 paint kit that will re sized by me intelligently in hopes of preserving as many of the details
as possible, then it will be up to the painter to either import from the FSX PK his painted layers or repaint from scratch etc.
I will just include a desperate plea for re painters in the FS9 PK to also paint in the HD FSX format for those of us who moved on to FSX/P3D.

Yikes, good luck with that. Painters have ignored readme pleas for years now. But if the smaller FS9 paints still work in FSX, I guess we can live with the slightly less quality repaints for FSX.

The models look great by the way. I wish I had more time to paint these, I love the "classics", and there are still tons of them flying around.

Since people don't read readme's everything of importance is written directly inside the PSD files of the paint kit so you have to read them
at least once.
