Classic British Flight Sim

Hi
Wondering if anyone could give me some tips for doing a DM flight sim Trident repaint, ive done a few for different aircraft, mostly carenado and the MAAM DC3 but ive really struggled with the Trident,
Any help would be really appreciated

Paul

Hi Paul,

I don't think DM released a paint kit for the Tridents, but DaveB might have some info. He may well be at work now, but hell pop up at some point.

All the best,

The Trident uses the sam PK I think for the long and short and only part is used for the shorter...not sure of the details but something like that.

It was not released as the liveries were pretty well covered anyway and I filled some gaps an certainly I've never had a PK for it

paint kit of sorts is available for Davids page, as i said ive not really been able to figure out how to use it tho

Paul

Ah right...wasn't availiable when I did paints.

All you can do is try it out and adapt to needs

I see said the blind man It's a PK Jim.. but not as we know it What it looks like DM has done is issued every layer required to make a pk as a bmp so they can be imported into any paint program capable of using layers rather than release one in PSP format or PSD where everything is there and done for you. It's basically a pk pulled apart. Think of it as that and it'll make a lot more sense
As Garry said.. every airline ever to use the Trident was covered in the release so other than for reg changes (and DM covered all those.. they're available in the VA forum areas) or make a fictional livery (which we don't do a lot of here) there shouldn't be much you need a pk for

Interesting....I'll leave it with you then Dave

Yes mate.. you can do that. It won't be going any further mind you

That's all it is though. Imagine one of your own PK's stripped with each layer saved as a bmp and that's what DM has supplied as a PK. No wonder there aren't that many odd repaints of it

Oh yes...I can imagine it easily enough and also Joe Public trying to place them on top of one another even though that is easy if done correctly.

But all the main Trident paints are done except for Air Ceylon, but I think there was a slight issue with the older paints on the VC model

I don't know about that mate. I've only ever done one.. a reg change.. and I needed your help to correct that!
