2 New Repaints - Overland 777

[FJ flyer]

Great Repaints Dean!!
I too tried to paint and I gave up in the middle of it..

[Martin the Warrior]

I, too, tried once. I managed to make some nice graffiti with the paint tool, but that's about it.

Thats great work! i can see you being one of the great painters in the near future

I'm using some repaints meant for CLS on my Overland aircraft, and I've never noticed this forehead problem you guys talk about

I discovered yesterday that LevelD paints were compatible with the Overland 763, but after looking in the ANA LevelD texture folder, I saw that there were over 40 .bmps, when there are only 30 in Overland 763 repaints and that the naming scheme was totally different. Are you guys sure they're compatible?

P.S.
Great work on the KLM 777 btw

[DeanClay]

Yeah theyre Compatible, but Level-D has some extra bmp's that begin with something like 'lvld_b6_...' . However, overland does not need these textures, hence why they have less

Basically, you only need to copy the textures that make a difference (fuselage, Tail, Engines, winges etc) from Level-D over to Overland.

And thanks for the comments

If the repaint works, who cares if one repaint has more files than the other!

I need to look into that forehead problem...

Is there a good repaint of Cathay's B-KPF http://www.airliners.net/photo/Cathay-P ... 1333839/L/ for the overland 773? I can't seem to find a good one......any help?

A one like this one ?

Should be a decent enough paint if its by PBD

Nice Shot

You must be like me, if a screenshot looks pretty bad, then it puts you off downloading it

You missed my point...

The fact that there are more .bmps in the LevelD texture folder should indicate that there will be a compatibility issue, and believe it or not, some people don't know how to distinguish fuselage, wing, tail textures from their left elbow (me being one!), especially considering I can't see what each .bmp is.

Yep, exactly. I don't like downloading a plane or scenery if I can't see what it looks like first.

Was doing my usual scan through for authors I like in screenshots this afternoon (nothing else to do, damn weather) and I find this.... The KL is looking good, I just might have to try it sometime but from the screenshots it looks like the KLM logo up front is too big. The blue fuselage also looks a little too blue, see here: http://library.avsim.net/sendfile.php?L ... eID=190350" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

You should do the same repaint on the Overland|SMS 777-300ER, that'd be a nice addition.

[DeanClay]

Thanks Nick!, id agree that the blue is a brighter more vivid blue than most paints, however to me it seemed to give a more 'New' Look.
Might try the 773ER, wouldnt be for a while though, have lots going on at the moment

Hey Dean

I just downloaded the KLM and all I can say is Very Nice.
It will be my very next flight.

Any chance that you might do the Overland B777-200lLR next in Emirates colours. Right now
there is no paint for this one and next fall Emirayes will be flying to LAX and SFO.

I know we have a freeware version on our website but I like flying Overland's
stuff.

Keep up the great work and I look forward to flying you next creation no matter what it may be.

[sanins192]

Steve, there is already an excellent repaint by Tom Collins: ovsms_772lr_uae_tcc.zip @ Avsim.

[steve63]

Thanks Alex that is great news.I am going to get it right now.
