Me too! But I am afraid a bit it will brake down the frame rates.

Yes, very much looking forward to the 747. Can't wait to see the 737 repaints too.
I think it would be good if those who use payware aircraft for Eurohermony flights could also sport the great liveries that have been designed.

Yeah, I agree  EHM 0273.Robert, although it is very realistic, i think it will run at about the same speed and F/Rates as the 737-600/700/800/900NG

Don't want to stop anyone else from doing a repaint with this post, but as I had the day off work today I cracked on and did a very quick EHM repaint of the PMDG Beechcraft 1900D.

Here's a thumbnail to a screeny of it, click for bigness.

Read the included README.txt or my post in the EHM webtitles thread for installation instructions. I recommend using the NAYSA repaint from the PMDG website as the "base" onto which to install my texture files.

Well, I'm waiting to see it, if it's good enough ;) then I'll stop the one I am doing right now. Otherwise I'll post the first version tonight.
Anyway, I wish to precise that if I do PMDG repaints, it don't mean in any way that any already existing PMDG EHM repaint isn't good. I don't would like to insult repainters.

EDIT : seen the previous version, it's neat. I'll go on with mine tough, as it's different. I am doing it more like the original EHM 1900D, so the livery is different.

Ok I found it. I'm not sure if you said it before MAABAA but will you do the 737-600 in EHM livery.

Please

Here it is.

EuroHarmony Livery for PMDG Express B1900D

It's a BETA version, it means IT'S NOT FINISHED.
For FS2004 only ! (might make a 2002 version if enough people request it).
I will finish it next week.
I'll welcome any comment on the livery itself, and the installer.
For imperfections, like the nose gear trap, the bottom and side fuselage link, the propeller cones not reflective etc... I know it, that's why I call it a beta version, will fix all that next week, and work on the installer too.
Hope you enjoy :)

Very nice repaint, but I would like to give you some rules for the future, that I learned from Gergely about the EHM stripes.

The main thing in the livery are the 2 lighter coil stripes. When  adding the livery layer, you can distort it several ways to fit nicely to the aircraft body. Here is my technic:
1. I adjust the height of the 2 coil stripes by resizing the whole layer. The 2 stripes should fit nicely within the area of window line and the wing. I usually let a gap below the windows about 0,5...1,0 height of the window. Then let the bottom dark blue area to almost hidden by the wing.
2. Setup a basic length. I resize the whole livery so it fits to the whole length of the aircraft, but I try to do it so the stripes start to bend upward only after the last window in the line. If it is not possible, than leave it for a while.
3. Checking the nose. I move the whole layer to forward toward the nose, and move it until the stripes bending nicely downward. There is a nice point where the bending stripes do not take too much space from the nose.
4. Checking the middle section. I usually do the steps 2...4 many times to find a good result. Here I try to adjust the length of the stripes to be not so short. I mean I try to adjust that section of the 2 stripes when they replaces each other, to look nice. By this, usually the back section is distorting and with luck it will look nice.
5. Chacking again the back sectio, so the stripes start bending upward only after the last window. If not, I lengthen a bit the back section of the stripes. Then according the aircraft shape I occasionally distort the section when the stripes brake upward, and adjust its correct length.
6. Finally when the stripes are wided/lengthened correctly, it is time to finish them. Because i nthe 1st step you surely distort them, so they will not fit the whole body vertically. In the bottom they will not reach the aircraft bottom. So finally, I manually paint the areas at the bottom of the aircraft, and manually lengthen the short stripes/areas at the nose too.

I hope it may helped and was clear ;D Keep up the good. work.

Thanks, and thanks a lot for the advice.
I'll try to finish it this week, but i might not be able to before january. Have a lot of work, storyboard, video, etc to give back monday and tuesday... Taking off for Bangkok Thursday evening :)
For the stripes, i'll do what you tell me, and if it's not optimal, i'll redraw them (had to already for the top tail under illustrator).

And after that, since I'm used to my addons, I'm planning to repaint my favourite next classes addons too if able, and share it if people are interrested. That would be :
-Aerosoft ATR 42
-Aerosoft ATR 72
-Wilco/Feelthere CRJ-200
-PMDG 737-800 (Murray is already working on it so I'll see)
-PSS Airbus A330
-PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies (when it's out ^^)

No problem :) I will try to make the 737-600 in the same Web livery if you want. Looking forward to the 747.

Thank you very much for the artistry work, maabaa. A few days ago a bought a PMDG Beech 1900 for my virtual hangar , too - and since then I am addicted to this aircraft. :8

Maybe I will take it onto my world tour, if flight ranges and rwy lenghts (especially in africa) support.

The precision cockpit and the high polygon model are very delighting.
( although the model is a framerate buster - need quite a fast computer ).
