Repaints: Real Air- Lancair Legacy

Any advice on doing repaints? I would like to work on some for another plane. What paint program do you use, where do I get a template to work on, how do I keep the plane's texturing (metal contact joints, rivets, etc.) when putting in a color scheme? Any tutorials that you know of?

Those repaints look great. Nice work!

Copout, here is a great tutorial for getting started. There are easier ways but I feel this gives a great understanding of alpha layers and repainting without proper paint kits..

In place of Photoshop, you can use a program called GIMP which is free, though I do recomend using PS as its a lot more robust.

I have 3 paints I have created for the legacy

Carbon X
Jcom's repaint of Carbon X
Race 98

they all are just drag in the folder and then add this to the aircraft.cfg

Please remember to replace the "x" in the [fltsim.X] box to correspond with aircraft already in the .cfg
