OMG! I flew in that plane! Thank you!

[Leen de Jager]

Is this normal ? Its the magic of normals.

Hey Leen, I'm just curious. What made you want to make this paint? It seems unlikely because it isn't a particularly famous aircraft as far as I know.

[Leen de Jager]

Let me explain.

The aircraft itself being a DC3 is famous , in my opinion extremely famous.

For many of us even te most famous plane ever.

If you mean why this livery, its easy to tell.

Its just because I like it.

As I am used to painting the planes I like , is mere logic.

I only paint liveries I like , famous or not.

If other people like them , I am happy having made them , if other people don`t............. I am as happy.

Mind painting Esther Mae (N3006) sometime if you don't mind? http://www.airliners...C-3D/1805147/M/ We lack a good civilian paint as of yet. (Civilian as in owned by a person, not an airline)

Cool! I was asking because I figured you may know someone there! I love that plane, so thanks for making it!

I am afraid I cannot do the N3006, as far as I know ,this model does not include environmental-reflections wich is vital when making an extreme-polished-bare-metal.

It ( the Airborne Imaging-livery) arrived at the ORG this very moment.

Enjoy!!

Esther Mae (N3006) would be absolutely gorgeous to fly in X-plane! Unfortunately Leen is quite right, beautiful bare-metal reflections such as that would need to be written as a custom Open GL shader in the X-plane rendering engine. It just couldn't be faked with a simple texture. Perhaps something can now be done in Xplane 10 with it's brand new HDR lighting system, but I still don't think it does aircraft reflections like what you would see on a polished metal surface.
