Virtual Airline - Rlast's Paint

[Rlast]

Hey All!

Many of you may not know that I'm a massive fan of Flight Simulator X, and I've just set up my own personal Virtual Airline! Now if any of you guys would like to join, that would be totally cool as I really need some dedicated pilots

However, I was wondering what the wider community think of my paint? Something a bit off-topic by me, but heck, I'd love to hear what you guys have to say, even if you don't like planes!

A bit too "plane" in my opinion but yea looks cool

[Voodoo_Operator]

Looks great and quite realistic.

Too bad FSX is so poorly programmed and runs like a snail on tranquilizers even on a powerful PC that far exceeds recommended requirements. Otherwise maybe I'd still have it installed.

[Rlast]

Thanks for your feedback guys, I'll probably make some adjustments to make it a bit cooler.

LOL, I totally agree; made in 2006, but runs on my PC like game that won't come out for another year.

Very nice,I used to love Flight Simulator X but don't play it no more...

VERSION 2.0 HAS BEEN ADDED It's the top paint in the new screenshot, with the bottom being another attempt. I will add some kind of text to the top one.

Looking at realism, I'd say the top is more likely. Planes tend to keep to the white, or even in some cases, polished aluminum because of the massive amount of weight added on by paint. I think one coat of paint can add like 500 or more pounds to your average jet

Yeah, I totally agree, hence I've changed it again XD Currently painting the 747 with a much more professional look!

I'm also trying to do my own fictional company in FSX and I've been wondering... how exactly have you done the vertical stabilizer design? It looks sick!

I just messed around with the curved pen tool really, it's a very useful tool for making more interesting shapes. You can either paint an area a colour (like black) and then use the curve pen tool to cut some cool shapes out of it, like the white lines in the paint above, or just use the pen tool to make some shapes which you put onto a blank white background.

 

Use this:

It's an awesome tool that means you can get a set of colours that works well together for logos, liveries etc. You'd be free to PM with any of your designs/ideas as I'd be very interested to see. Where's your airline from anyhow? Wouldn't hesitate to lend a hand.

Thanks for the link. 

 

Mine's a fictional portuguese airline called FlyPortugal. Inspired in some designs around the internet with some personal touches. The airline will have some regular flights (operated by A-321s), regional flights (FlyPortugal Express - operated by some CRJ700s) and even some VIP flights (FlyPortugal Premium). Most of these ideas are unrealistic, but I like them how they are.

 

Here's some pictures (ignore the tail IDs, they weren't supposed to be like that):

I like it! No need for a virtual airline to be realistic anyhow, just fun and fitting to what kind of flying you want to do. I know a cool website which you can run your VA on with schedules, a fleet etc. It's free, all you need to do is signup. www.fslive.eu if you're interested   Do you run any more complex addons per chance?

Nope. I'm still a noob in terms of Add-ons. Any suggestions on freeware?

[Rlast]

In terms of freeware aircraft there aren't particularly complex ones, though the best freeware that comes to my mind is scenery-based. 

I'll list a few below that I'd recommend, with sunskyjet's KPHL really quite unbelievable given that it's free.
