Hi Rachael,
I just had a very close look at the Lodestar wearing your paintkit skin. Even resized to 1024 x 1024 it is more than outstanding! A wonderful dream for every (re)painter.
Thank you very very much again!
Cheers,
Maarten

Hi Rachael,
I can only follow up with the compliments of Maarten above!
The amount of work you put into this is astonishing, and more than justifies the 320 MB download.
This is extremely well done, and will certainly offer me weeks, if not months of entertainment.
Thank you very much,
Regards, Stuart
Thanks Rachael, awesome paintkit.

Thank you very much folks the compliments are lovely. I did my best, I love the aircraft and was proud Milton asked me to help. It's not the best, But I tried
Here is the requested 1024 base textures flat in 32bit BMP 1024 scale This isn't the finished work, but it works on all lodestar models and isn't the final release version, but the exterior is done.

Hi there,
A little snag came up, at least on my PC, with the latest P&W and Wright models of the L-18 (I didn't check the C-57 and C-60A yet, I must confess). The texture "parts.bmp" doesn't appear anymore on both versions (see screenie L-18 Wright-powered). Did I miss something? Always possible, of course. Could anybody give me advise? Many thanks in advance.
Just finished the preliminary alpha channels for Firekitten's awesome templates. I'm very pleased with the result. No need to polish the plane any further. Time for the company colours to be applied. First KLM West Indies (again! ), NZNAC and ML-KNIL (Royal Dutch East Indies Army Air Force) are also on my to-do list.
Cheers,
Maarten
The engine and prop blades are my fault. I forgot to tell Firekitten about those changes for the Lodestars.
The parts.bmp changed to parts_t.bmp to allow different textures on front and rear sides of the blades. The prop blades moved on the same texture to bottom right as shown in the attached.
Secondly, the _t is to allow for chrome prop blades on the civilian liveries where required. Just use appropriate alpha on the blades.
EDIT: You can use the attached parts_t.bmp but you will need to paint the prop blades and the yoke and stem again.
Thank you very much, Sir Milton. You're faster than lightning! Fabulous!
Cheers,
Maarten
Edit: Your hint did the trick! Luvlyjobbly!
nicely done Maarten !!

Lodestar Updates for the L-18s and C-57 and C-60A
Models replacement folders for all models
Changes include:
1) Exhaust headers now can be textured from the winginner bmp
2) Props have been mapped so the front and rear faces are separately textured
on the parts_t.bmp
3) Parts.bmp changed to parts_t.bmp to allow alpha channel to shine the prop
blades, like for chrome.
4) engine and brake bmps adjusted but no change for you to do
5) Pilot textures for the military pilots of the C60A. The C60A is a paratroop transport and no longer has a
civilian pilot. You will need to repaint the military pilot textures for a civilian livery or use the L-18 Wright engine version.

I uploaded this the other day but not sure I posted the link.
EDIT: Just found I did post this in post#1788. :-) But I added the C60A military pilot textures to this one.

Just FYI folks, I must go out of town Sunday for a long day trip and will return late Sunday night. I fully expect all hands on deck making progress. :-)))
Rachael,
Your paint kit is very awesome. You need to get a life. You obviously have been doing nothing but drilling holes and bucking rivets for months.
I love it.
Thanks,
Wayne Tudor
It only took a week or two :S But thanks for the compliment!
For those of you who use the 2D Panel, I have updated it completely.
Attached is the replacement panel folder for all Lodestars, panel.60.
Here are some screenshots of the panel and the 7 views.
There is one popup for all the radios and AP, and one for the GPS.
Of course all the alternate views are from the VC model and will show whatever livery and interior you are running.
