that's so true

But yet we had a nice evening. The weather was much much better then last thursday. At least we could see each other.

Very nice pics HB, you show well this fantastic scenery of Novosibirsk Tolmachevo. It is reallly one of the best scenery around

This leg started quite early in the morning. So... I was a bit late. Joe jumed in the air with his 767 while I was on Taxi


I can enjoy HB's Thai barge livery when reaching the runway


Cleard for take off, I wait a bit cz the wake


And here we go



HB opened my way during all the flight



ATC kept us pretty high, we had to go on 360° turns to reach interception altitude


From the taxiway to parking, Joe comes on final closely followed by HB


Taxiing along the technical pool


Joe give the last touch before landing


And now HB touching down


Highly detailed scenery, nothing is forgotten


HB's Thai Barge.


Vegas greasing his landing

Excellent pics guys. It was a great flight. My first on the tour with positive points!

Beautiful job on the screenies HB and Pierre

Vegas...congrats!!

I only took 2 screenies as it was quite dark when departing UIII and enroute to UNNT. Here are the 2 landing at UNNT:



Bonus...tried the ILS for 26L at USSS. The addon scenery is far better than UNNT:

Ah we are not in a pic competition, are we? They look all great!! And what's the best, everyones FS2004 screenshots look different!
I really like that!

Has anyone noticed pegase liverly /painting?

Really cool! I wonder how you can paint those aircrafts that well!

I have so much trouble to even bring a little blue line in a texture of an existing livery without destroying it's realistic look.
I can not even dream of painting an aircraft in complete.

Absolute first class pics, guys!

Those Russian scenery designers are simply amazing!

[catzrthecoolest]

yeah... i wish i had installed it properly :P

Thanks for the cool livery paintings HB

If the little blue line you add to the texture destroys the look, it is may be because you paint it directly to the final texture bmp file. Then as it
is painted on top of all the current paint, you lose the shading and dirt effect. So the line looks rather in front of the plane than painted on it.

The only way to get nice result is to work on MULTI-LAYERED paint kits (usually PSD files) Depending of the paintkit you will have
numbers of layers The main color is usually at the bottom, The lines patterns just above, then the bolts and junction lines, the dirt, the
windows, the shade effects.
So if you paint on a layer between the main color and the lines and bolts, you will keep all effects painted on layers above.
When done you save your result as bmp which will mergee all layers on one
Then the painfull job is to cut and past on the differents texture files exactly on the right place. The tip to do this job is to past on a new
layer created on the texture file, then you set the layer half transparent to see the original texture and adjust exactly at the pixel. When done
you set the layer fully opacity.
Repeat the process for everything to be pasted on this texture file, save and convert (it is during this conversion you add the alpha
channel which defines the reflections)
There are plenty of good tips you can find on Posky painter's forum.

Pierre is speaking in a language I don't have a clue about when it comes to repaints

[DSW334]

pfff glad I am not the only one who doesn't understand his language..
