Thanks all for your kind words. The repainter of this livery will answer all of your questions on availability of this repaint. He is in European time zone and probably at work. I let him know about your questions

Wombat666, it is typo error I meant to spell drooling. Sorry about typo.

Regards,

Hello Seahawk72s!

Since this Repaint is pretty much brand new, it is not decided yet what we will do with it further. It was realized by the request of aharon, and we co-operted successfully once before, yet again with a DC-4-Project (C-54G) for a "Buffalo"-Repaint. If there is a decission made about the "Reeve"-DC-4, we will let you know, OK?

Best regards...

Hello PeteHam!

As I replied above, no final decission has been made, on what to do with the Textures. By now, only 3 persons own these; Aharon, my partner Tobias and me, of course. I will discuss your requests with Tobias and will let you know about the results!

Best regards...

I did peruse their Facebook site and ran across a few folks who had asked if the liveries they were viewing were available. The general answer seemed to indicate that releasing the liveries would be discussed and at some point, "if" it was decided they would make it available they would let them know. They seem to be very protective of their work and I can only assume there is a good reason for that. . .no idea what that would be however.

Hello Falcon 409!

You wrote that we would be very protective and there might be a good reason for that. Well, youŽre absolutely right. Sadly we had to make some very bad experiances with releasing some textures.
As selling those Texture-Sets is strictly forbidden by the Original manufacturers, weŽve tried our luck by releasing some as Donationware. And some people were simlpy respectless by offering rediculess Donations. So weŽre definitely thinking about a release from case to case. I hope you understand our behaviour.

Best regards...

Hello fellow Sim-Aviators!

We thought about about a way to get our works released and we have found a solution:

We will open a Facebook-Group, you can join in, where we will show some Pics and provide the Download-Link to get your copy. We will also release a Pay-Pal-Link there for those whoŽd like to support our work.
How do you like that idea?

Best regards...

Got nowhere with that link - Keeps asking if I want to join FB, which I don't. I don't see any FB group to click on.
Oh well.......

I wish I had a chance to download a copy. With Facebook mandate to register before downloading it, I doubt chances to try it.

I have a Facebook page because I share with my family across the country but I understand that others like my Pastor who don't like Facebook for personal reasons and don't want to join, why doesn't Harry71 give others on a PM here basis something like a Google or Mediafire link to download a requested texture? Just my 2p. That way they are still in control of their hard work which I very much understand.:icon_question:

I PM'd him about that and mentioned that I didn't like the "strings" attached mandate (join FB) and his reply was what "strings" was I talking about. Since then all I hear from him is
crickets (no response). Oh well.......

So My wife has a FB account (I don't) if she logs on and uses that link ^ can she download the reeves repaint?

Okay, It looks like just having a FB account is enough to have a link to download.... one more hurdle to jump is to request a copy of the texture desired and then
(whenever that is) a link will be provided. So we have two storm doors to go through to download a texture. This is almost like what I have to go thru to logon
to my checking account online just to get my balance.

I have FB and used this link to send message asking for a download.
I've not received a reply and do not see a FB group for repaints.

If someone has had better luck a heads-up would be appreciated.

Sounds like you are having as much fun with this enigma as I am.
