Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for!
Thks thk thks my friend ! was waiting for that kind of video !!! a big like for you mate !
No problem 👍
Thank you bro in really appreciate it. I have no knowledge on creating paints. I’ll be trying this on the weekend
No problem, happy painting!
Very good! Thanks for this tutorial but do you know how to change name and image in livery selector?
It looks like that the paint kit you downloaded has changed since you made this video, and I wasn't able to follow along.
It also happened to me, did you managed to make it work?
Here we are !
Your sim looks great, would u mind sharing ur settings? Subscribed 👍
How would one go about making a livery for the FlyByWire A32NX as their installer no longer has a converter from the A320 to A32NX?
I Said to you! That you would do an amazing tutorial on this!! And you did it thank you very much nott💪
My viewing figured would disagree but you’re welcome 😅
Regarding the end: shouldn't there be a yellow plane on the runway?
Can you show me how to do this with the Boe-- just kidding :)
Actually just wanted to ask if the logos/artwork need to be any specific filetype or .png's are fine?
PNG is best as they offer transparency 🙂
@@AirNOTT No. Unless it absolutely must carry transparency info then always choose a .jpg or .jpeg format. PNGs hold more data regardless of whether it's a texture with a transparency in it or not and therefore will render slower than a .jpg file.
@@sybeck1823No. Skill issue
What happens if you don't have a logo already? How do you make one?
I use affinity designer to make all of mine. Then save it out as a png
@@AirNOTT same for me. Affinity designer have everything you need but is not for non professional or experienced people unfortunatly.
My friend, i have a little issue with that paintkit (yellow), if you look on the right side, when i paint on fuselage, there same paint goes out on the right front cargo, how to separate that ? can you help me please ?
I’m not sure I follow, you mean it’s not painting on the front cargo door but it is painting on the main body?
@@AirNOTT No, i select the fuselage right side, i paint behind the belly fairing and the same paint appears on the front cargo door, if i select the front cargo door and delete the paint on it, it react at the same time on the fuselage. that my issue. is it possible with that paintkit to separate the fuselage all cargo doors ?
You’re painting onto the 3D model and not in the image view?
@@AirNOTT on the 3D model sir, right side because my livery is taking all fuselage (lol)
Hard to say without having a go myself. I'll have a look when I get a chance. Could just be how this specific paint kit is setup. They can differ slightly
Seriously bro, can you tell us how to get rid of all these lines to clean up the aircraft…I think once we get this we can maybe figure out the rest but these lines are frustrating
How would you export it in a pmdg 737 because it obviously needs the ops center thanks 😊
I’m saying bro!!!! I’m wondering the same thing. I created my very first livery thanks to this man and his tutorial. But I really don’t know how to export to PTP for the operation center. We need help! 🙏🏾
@DominicanRat83 how did you figure out how to clean it up?
@@ultimate_aviator237 honestly I just followed his steps in the video, I wanted to try out a simple livery so I made everything white like he did in the video, got a picture from the internet, placed it on the aircraft however, on some areas of the 3d model I don’t know how to clean up the lines, I would like to keep certain things it’s natural color but I don’t know how to clean it up from all the lines. Then there’s the biggest issue…getting it into the sim.
I keep getting bunch of erros saying it cant inport the dds images
I did everything correct, but the aircraft doesn't show up in MSFS?
I don't have the row to select the texture to edit
What Blender version are you using?
3.4.1, it says in the bottom right in blender
It would slso be nice a video on how to do a template and how to put reg. number on the underside of aircrafts without the mirroring problem. This is my biggest problem with MSFS.
I really need help I still can’t do it I whant make a Livery fore Airbus A330- 300 and Airbus A330-900 Neo
I’m still unsure how to use the a330 paint kit. Need to look into it some more
Whenever I press texture paint, the livery is purple and I can't paint it any other color
You painting the a330 by chance?
Sadly not, it was the 320 in your description. @@AirNOTT
@@dubai_operator9250 i think i know how to fix it you have to make a texture i dont know how but you can make a plane color basetexture that would be good bc you dont have to do the removing of orange
does anybody know how to do this im stuck
also, its not letting me see the fuselage picture
*of course* it doesn't work for the horizon 787 😒
Must be nice to be one of those experienced texture painters who just figure it all out and smash out liveries left right and center the moment a paintkit is released. All while every time I try to figure out how to make liveries myself it's just brick walls after brick walls.
I found my issue friend, the front cargo door and the rear one have the same tile that's why if you paint in one the same paint will go out on the second. See yaaaaaaaaa
Ah fantastic, well done! I hadn’t had a chance to look yet. And yes I do have a discord, email me and I’ll chuck you a link as it’s not public 👍
@@AirNOTT no doubt, but i don't see you email friend or can i put here my mail adress ?
@@AirNOTT it's ok, i found it, will send to you an email friend. See yaa
I love all your work I would really love to have a painting done by you... do you have an email where we can talk??
I’m the wrong guy for that I’m afraid. I struggle enough managing to do liveries for myself, never mind others 😂 maybe try fiverr or contact some of the artists on flightsim.to
Can we get a updated tutorial? The paint kit in the vid changed so you cannot follow the tutorial now@@AirNOTT
Hello friend, do you have a discord ?
Could you make a livery for some aircrafts for me and my friend? I would pay you for that. If you do pls tell me your Discord
I appreciate the thought but I wouldn’t have the time to do that, sorry!
@@AirNOTT Its okay. But you still do great videos. Keep it up!
