Hey Simmers…How are ya!

I would like to share how to repaint your favourite aircraft. I’m just gonna tell you what I’ve usually did…And I usually made it for FS9, Maybe it’s a same way for FSX, just in FSX they use a different texture format….And this is just a BASIC steps for repainting an aircraft. Before that, pardon me for my English ;p

What Things You Gonna Need?

1. A Paint Kit. Every Aircraft products have a paint kit. Wilco/Feelthere, Project Opensky, Level–D, PMDG, etc. have their own paint kit. You must use the paint kit according of what product you gonna use. If you want to paint a boeing 737 from Wilco/Feelthere then you will have to use a Wilco/Feelthere’s Paint Kit. Okay, next.
2. Adobe Photoshop™. For sure you all knows this app.
3. DXTBmp Application from MW Graphics. We gonna use this app to convert the .psd file to .bmp file
4. Image Tools. Use this app for extracting mipmaps. Otherwise you’ll got your aircraft Texture blur when you play it in your Microsoft Flight Simulator.
5. FS Repaint™. This is a payware. You can buy it here … I use this app just to preview my painting (I’m sure previewing your painting by entering the FS is gonna kill you.. ).

Hello again simmers! Merpati Nusantara Airlines, is another Indonesian’s Airline. This Airline is Indonesian Government’s enterprise beside Garuda Indonesia. Merpati Nusantara has a lot of  their flight services in the east area of Indonesia. One of their fleet is Boeing 737-300 with registration PK-MBP.

There’s a story about this aircraft. On January,28 2008, PK-MBP started their flight from Sentani Airport – Jayapura (DJJ) with destination Mopah Airport – Merauke (MKQ) with flight number MZ774. While this Aircraft was landing on Mopah’s runway suddenly there’s a cow…yes a cow was crossing the runway. The impact of the collision damaged the plane’s left engine but all of the 141 passengers of flight MZ774 were safe and unharmed. “The calf was running fast from Jati kampong which is located east of the airport, so the plane could not avoid hitting the animal”, a spokeman said. Poor cow…this accident wouldn’t gonna happened if he request the ATC clearence first…LoL..

Okay, please enjoy…be very careful..don’t hit the cow
