    Found another Cargo co to do....but menwhile I'll compile for upload. Hi Res means if I do it all in one it'll be pretty big...but I have panel work and effects etc...and slight mod to model...so pretty much needs to be a full upload instead of a whole bunch of bits. But maybe the plane with one paint...and the others uploaded separately....

    Edit ...mapping on the tail led to issues...so put the logo on both sides...they're 90% of the size of the outside...just another anomaly to wrestle with...

    At last...compiled for upload. Needless to say, it got kinda big ...the whole thing was 26 gig with all the 8,8,8 paints, etc.
    Tidied up and DDS-only and it's zipped to 175 meg ...hopefully I'm able to upload that size here...

    Edit...looks like it uploaded OK....so now to get back again to the 124 and do something similar...

    The AN-225 is a really impressive piece of work.!
    The quality of the HD textures sharply defines the aircraft, upping the realism, truly showing what a monster this plane is.
    With the variety of liveries one can't help wonder what if more 225's were out there flying around, making for some extended sim experience.
    This model deserved getting an upgrade and Paul has definitely taken it to the next level.
    The fun is just starting as I get to explore this aircraft.

    I'm glad you're liking it/them.... kinda forgot in my description to mention the others....but only the 4 vers of the real McCoy.
    Along with those there are 11 'what ifs', 4 of whom are passenger planes...
    Seems I'm stuck in a rut....got another freight version on the go...

    Some are easier than others....

    Great job! Thank you so much for all of your hard work.

    The advantage of big bitmaps is the chance for detail, particularly with big planes....

    The 'Let's make it happen' text on the nose is still only 4 pixels high even at 4096...so more guesswork than legible...

    Early days...but I realised I hadn't done a Prototype vintage 124 ...so it's on the go...

    When I upload the 124 ...much the same way as the 225.... I'll include this one...as I believe 82034 was pretty much the first...and it went through several iterations...as the 225 did....
    At this stage there's still the alpha, spec and spec alphas to do....

    Specs and alphas are done...just need to work out what callsigns etc are on the wings....

    OK...Prototype was CCCP-82002 ...with a nose call of 318...so I'll do that as well. Found a few pics to clarify.

    Thank you for your amazing work

    I certainly hope that you will include the FedEx livery (post # 88) when you release the 124

    Probably....I can remap the ones I did on the 225 to the 124...as the model bitmaps are 'similar'.
    'What-ifs' are so much easier as they're not real. The genuine articles are harder...like chasing up the text on the side of the prototype...it's "Ruslan" in cyrillic....but not just 'any' cyrillic ...but I found it...

    Here's 82002 - the prototype still need to alter details in spec and alpha...and do the wings...

    It took me all day to solve this one.....

    Main issue was the Russian text.
    Turns out to be "Vladimir Gladilin"..... and the name of RF-82032.

    That makes 6 genuine ones ...so maybe now a few 'fakes'...

    For fakes, how another Fed Ex/UPS/DHL trio? They looked really good on the 225! (The entire 225 looks fantastic, but what happened to the Buran?)

    Yes, I'll do those 3...the FedEx was already done for the 124 before being transposed to the 225...

    Still to do the wings....but getting there.
    Needless to say porting over stripes is a no-go ...so it takes longer...

    The UPS version.
    Doesn't matter how many you do....you always find yet another tweak...

    Almost sorted for upload...just need to do the Qantas ones and maybe an Aeroflot ...

    Jafo, d/l your AN-225 and it is gorgeous. Thank you for your hard work and exquisite workmanship. I have even put your textures on the original Thomas Ruth rendition. Superb work, sir. Thank you for your gifts..tp

    Last 124 to do, I think....again no hope of porting from the 225. So far just the main...no specs etc...just getting the layout to make sense on the smaller plane...

    A very nice looking livery that compliments the aircraft's design.

    Thanks, Seahawk...it's always more fun to create a 'what if' as it lets your imagination take over...a bit...
    Here it is with specs and alphas...getting metal to flare like metal is the fun part...
