But you asked what you need to upload and that includes statements of freeware..copyright, email etc and other info which is why I suggested you look at one of mine to see what need to be in the package

"In the world of virtual reality things are not always what they seem."
One thing I always do, once I have packaged everything for upload, is to remove my 'working copy' from FS and unzip and instal from the compiled zip file as if you'd just downloaded it like anyone else. Once you've installed it load it into FS to make sure it displays as you are intending. If it all looks good then you shouldn't be far wrong.
One thing that I appear to have missed ( as pointed out on Retro AI), is addition of metalic textures to the engines.
I have no idea how to achieve this. This is my first paint, and what I have produced is simply from opening the paintkit in Photoshop Elements 3 and seeing what I could do by trial and error.
If someone could describe how to do the engines, or point me towards a guide, this would be much appreciated.
Having spent a good deal of my Easter weekend, working on the paint, I decided to have an evening away form the PC tonight.
Thanks in advance for any help.

A very good job for a first attempt. There is nothing quite like "rolling your own" repaints to create stock you perhaps want for personal reasons but isn't available. I have a repaint of the marvellous "allegedly" beta (looks pretty alpha to me though) Vistaliners Boeing 727-100 in Dan Air livery which isn't available (as far as I know) because public releases are not permitted yet (if I recall correctly) but as G-BAEF was the first ever airplane I flew on, I wanted a really nice detailed model of it so I did a personal repaint for my own use. Similarly I have a Spantax DC9-14 in 1970's livery as one of the two dreadful crates I once was subjected to on a package holiday in the 70's, again I couldn't find a version at the time so i did my own.
It's also good fun tracking down images and researching subjects you want to repaint, particularly if, as sometimes find, they are less common subjects.

Hmmm.... I have two in mind. One is B727-100 based (the Paintkit for this seems so much more complex than for the DC-9). The other is a DC-8-21 (or any DC-8 with the same fuselage length).
If anyone can poiint me towards a paintkit for Dee Waldons DC-8's, I'd be very happy.
Beyond that, you'll just have to wait for the first screen shots.
