Hi everyone!
I have very bad news this time.
I'm preparing a new livery now and i've found very crappy thing, which i didn't notice before.
I was tweaking a .cfg file today by changing a value for texture_max_load and i found big issue on every livery what i have done until now. The problem is with few things, but first i want you to know how this paint kit works...
PMDG Paint kit for 737NGX series have one main_fuselage file (first photo in slide show) - I'm working there on new livery. Then i have to use another 6 files (no photo here) which are a cut out from "main_fuselage". You can imagine this pieces when you will take a look on blue horizontal lines on first photos. There is three parts so why I said six files?
Because three of them are for "daylight" time, and another three for "night" time, when landing lights are turned on.
So what is the problem?
If you cut a repaint in main file and try to copy this to the "pieces", livery don't fit between front, central part, and tail one.
That's why we receive horizontal lines between this parts. It looks really crappy. Take a look on next two photos in this post.
I've tried to fix this but all i can do is that there will be no "chainsaw" strip between front and central section. However, a very thin (lighter color) line still will be there. [Photo with Germanwings livery] This "chainsaw" effect still exist between central and tail section.
Other crappy thing is about difference between "daylight" and "night" pieces on the front and central section.
Repaint on "night" version is moved. To see this, just look on this section with turned off and turned on landing lights.
This is something what I cannot fix, I don't know how.
It is not over yet...
Other issue is with landing lights, which don't match to 737-900 version. They do only for 737-800 series.
If i would leave a original version, then you will receive something like on last photo [British Airways]
This was easy to fix so this is no longer a problem.
Last problem (what I remember) is with some windows. They also do not match for 737-900...
With all due respect to PMDG Developers, because they are doing the best Boeing models for FSX.
With this paint kit I'm really disappointed. Some people contact PMDG Support and offer assistance in correcting these mistakes, and 737NGX was released year and a half ago so it was enough time to clean this mess.
I didn't look on official released liveries by PMDG but if this crappy things do not exist on their repaint, this movement will be very sad.
Soooo... until the moment when PMDG will decide to release fixed paint kit, all my liveries will have this issues.
Sorry for that.
