This is a A320 livery I downloaded from Flightsim.to today. I have no clue who Lembert gaming is; I just like the cool paint!! NC

have you flown it during an MSFS sunset yet? If you do - please post a screenshot and we'll try to find her in it
it IS a very nice livery, Chief
This is what it used to look like. Beautiful!
And, following the most recent MSFS update, this is what it looks like now. I hope there is a way to fix it. I surely cannot do it, but hopefully someone can...

Can't say that paint is my cup of tea, but, basically, Asobo took at least 2 (but must have been 4) textures and combined them into one. Specifically, take the Hull texture and put it in the top left corner of the new Fuselage texture. I'm not sure what other tweaks are needed to rebuild the kit from the old one.
Microsoft hasn't fixed the "mirroring" of textures on the 747 yet, but the author of this paint at least got it to work in the latest MSFS version. For now, I just won't look at the right side!! NC

Nice! Yeah mine never look like that - even if I sat in one spot for 10 min (I actually tried that once). It's kind of a mystery - is the sharpness of PG soley based on CPU/GPU? Or does a super fast internet connection help? I've got 200 mbps here which isn't rocket fast but faster than I've ever needed (until MSFS apparently lol). IDK though, my 4790K is pretty dated...a lot has changed in 6+ years. I would have to guess my CPU is the largest factor on not loading scenery.

My current IT guy put it this way :
"MSFS2020 is a very hungry bear who has now arrived at the flightsim buffet. He will devour everything you throw at him (best CPU,best GPU, fastest download speeds ...) and still be as hungry as ever."
Currently he has me looking at AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 or AMD Radeon 6900XT for starters. He wants to use Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL with either AMD or Corsair watercooler.
Luckily, for me, a lot of these items are currently not available, which allows me to keep saving up. While he's looking to build a very nice system, ..... I'm currently looking to find a very nice second job.

Almost seemed like I was flying on Mars, in actuality I was flying over the Cascades in deep soup heading into Seattle near sunset, love that wing ice light on the Baron

Dave - if you like the Baron, you'll probably love the DA62. I use it with the DA62X mod over at flightsim.to combined with the Working Title G1000 mod. Performance and payload are nearly identical to the Baron, but it uses about have the fuel.

Wow. Jankees you got ,my attention on the new Sim fast. Excellent shots with a Classic SAR Bird. Looks like I'm gonna have get a external HD and buy MSFS and find that SAR Bird as I don't fly combatant AC in Civilian FS. I got Lockheed for Combatant AC's. Although not against classic Warbirds or military Trainers, Cargo as long as there Weapons are static non op.

CG, Chief, this is the Bad Duck model by Paul Domingue. It was one of my favorite aircraft in FSX and P3D, so I originally imported it into MSFS and it did not look too bad at all:
jk9033
but it was not without its problems, like landing gear that went up but not down, and it sank in water, not good for an amphibian..
Paul contacted me to say he was working on an upgrade for P3D and a Legacy model, and possibly a native version in due time (I say, go native!!), and what you see here is an early model. MSFS messes up the reflections, so I was adapting those, and I could not resist making a new paintscheme for it, here is an update of that scheme as well:
jk0142
jk0143
jk0137
jk0139
and yes, it has a VC:
jk0128
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
Jankees,
It is a beautiful aircraft.. The VC is a great start! I am guessing it is the glass textures on the gauges that is a problem? . Even with that, there's still a view from the cockpit, which is awesome!. NC
