My first ATR 72-500

[Leen de Jager]

Have this baby in my sim for a several years now.

Then the Saab 340 took most of my spare-time.

 

Now.............. at last her is my Thai

.

Making my own painkit (layerfiles based on composted and edited blanks from the default liveries) first, it was quiet a job.

Awesome paint job Leen,  Had the ATR 72-500 in my hanger to since it was released. Went to fly it the other day and found it no longer worked in 10x. Had to go back to McPhat Studios website

and download it again, the updated version.  Looking forward to adding this paint to it.

Nice paint, thanks Leen!

Thats strange.

The first version (the boxed DVD version) works perfectly under XP 10 (all versions including the latest beta)

I just updated to V1.10 this week on my rig.

As I said, I was busy with the Saab  and did have no reason to update it until this week.

I was just curious to see what had been updated.

Had the download version of the first ATR and for some reason the latest beta update for 10x I was getting  a error about a bad png and it would drop

me back to desktop.  That is when I decided to check on an update.

Leen - good to see this released but did you contact McPhat about redistribution of there modified artwork? I did the same as you a few months back but didn't release it as I thought someone would get their underwear in a bunch over it. I created an AirNZ livery with it. I hear you on the work involved - quite a bit of compositing and colour grading required.

Making a repaint is almost always allowed , most developers welcome repaints ( when they are good) , its boosts the popularity (sales) of their product.

Strickly spoken I just made a repaint , I white one.
Then I offered it as a paintkit to work with for my friends.

I stated  " based on edited and composed blanks made from the original McPhattextures"

Only publishing the white aircraft would be almost the same , without that little extra help. 

Why would they  get their underwear in a bunch , my paint-help only results in more and better liveries.( I hope )

Thats all.

 

I never asked a developer permission to make repaints.
Some times they even invite me to.

Cheers

 

Leen

 

PS

 

You must have noticed my  Royal Thai Air Force is actually really  "white" 
It took a lot of time to discover how achieve that.

the only good thing about this payware are the repaints  it's tooooo light on systems and realism.

[Leen de Jager]

That could  be (probably is) the case.

 

I like the looks of the plane and I can fly it.
Most  realistic planes ( like the Saab,CRJ etc) I cannot fly, there is not much of a pilot in me.
I am just dabbling with the virtual brushes.
