SlimNasty 0 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hi Guys, Just been having a play with Photoshop to try and create a new livery for a Cesna C172 ready for my new company "SlimAir Logistics" in Air Hauler when the game arrives through the post next week. It's my first attempt a painting an aircraft and thought it should be park outside my home airport Southampton which I intend to use as my base of operations. Just need to create all my other aircraft now, they can only get better Let me know your thoughts? Speak Soon Phil Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hey Slim, Well done! The writing is the right way around, simple and very effective, I like it Is that the UK2000 scenery you are using?

Looks like we are going to see a lot of each other at EGHI Cheers Hi Mutley, Yeah took a few go's to get the writing the right way and size, but doesn't look to bad for first go. I'll post my Learjet 45 when I get around to that one too. I am using the UK2000 demo scenery, noticed it on the forum so went and downloaded it. I also have a container port in southampton and the queen mary 2 along with a few cruise ships which looks great. I follow you out of runway 2 at EGHI when ready as I am sure I am not as quick as you guys lol... Speak Soon Phil Link to post Share on other sites

SlimNasty 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Guys, Thanks for your encouragment guys, been working on the concept that I will start with SlimAir Logistics, then expand into Europe with SlimAir European Logistics and then eventually SlimAir Global Logisitcs, now the first will encompass Helicopters and prop aircraft for local UK flights, then the second will add small jets like the Learjet & BAE 146 and the the Global part will add the 737 & 747's to the mix. Hope like like my ideal, perhaps this could be passed on to the developers as part of an addon in the future, would make having additional goals within Air Hauler, I do have a few ideas some times they are good, some times not so good lol... Anyway another screenshot of a work in progress for the Global side of things... Got a slight problem already as the name on the engine looks fine here, but the otherside is back to front :smile: I need to work on some more colour on this one too... Let me know your thoughts..

mutley 4,498 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Slim, Is that the default 737-800? If it is, sometimes the default textures don't allow reverse text to be defined. I have come across things like this before. Have a look at Project Opensky here http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads-index.php thair paint kits are very good.

I have come across things like this before. Have a look at Project Opensky here http://www.projectopensky.com/downloads-index.php thair paint kits are very good. Cheers Hi Mutley, Yes it was the default white 737-800, not too bothered will paint the engines a different colour instead which will resolve the problem. I tried some of the Project Kits and it threw up errors saying Sim 98 guages or something, so will have to have another look at these. Anyway my copy of Air Hauler has arrived so I installed that, added my scenery and my customer C172 and done my first flight in career mode, quite fitting as I had my first day back to work in the real world today :-) Career mode looks challenging, started with 100k, spent 115k on airport (Southampton) and earned 5k on first job, so about 10.5k down at the moment, but should make this up by the weekend if I only do one job a night, although I may try and get one outbound, a positioning flight and then a return leg each night, depends how knackered I am from work lol....

Cheers Hi Mutley, Thanks I enjoy the real world business, missed it this last six months. I am sort of overdrawn with the game at the moment, but shouldnt take me long to get in credit, need to get rep upto 55 before it will let me have pilots... Question: is it worth insuring planes at the start? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Question: is it worth insuring planes at the start? That depends on how good your flying is! Hopefully John will see this post and drop a few hints Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
