PMDG repaints?
EHM-0695 Scott:
Understandable if there were no freeware models available but, there are current freeware models in the fleet. However, might be nice to see some screenshots of these amazing planes in the ol' blue and white.
EHM-1001 Robert:
I think the current freeware models are enough detailed and framerate friendly for the present hardware. It means, the number of polygons that a model have, and those so much MByte textures are well fitted for our current PC-s.
I think the final quality of a virtual aircraft depends mostly on the repainter. It is useless to have the fuselage from 8 pieces of 1024x1024 pixels sized textures, if it consist of big 1 colored areas and nothing else. If a repaint contain more details then it look more real, and more beautiful. We do not have to go too far to check this point of view: you will not find any planes that is better detailed in repaints than our B747 and TU204. And if it depends on me, the list will grow time by time.
I think the commercial packages have only 1 advantage: the cockpit. A good virtual cockpit, and a nice panel (not a collection of many gauges, but really programmed together to be perfect) can raise the quality of a plane significantly. That is why I am too thinking of buying the B747 of PMDG when it comes out.
But at the moment I do not have any of the commercial planes so I could not test them in the game. That is why there are no EHM repaints for them.

As I know, PMDG is not freeware, so we cannot make repaints for those models.

I fly mostly the 737-800 in Athens 2004 Olympic repaint(no EHM colors).
PMDG is one of the best there is, but expensiv,
737-600/700 $39,95, and the update to 800/900 $ 27,95
The update is needed for FMC ect.
Only for Win-XP !!
(If fly also a 747-200 ReadyForPuschback, and this is almost as real as you get.
its a pitty its not in fleet of EHM.)
Regards, Willem.

I was thinking of mabey a 747 200 in the Euroholidays fleet, instead of a Tristar, i was not sure though because i thought that the Plane was a favourite. But i think i will put my point across now.
Any thoughts
