New EuroHolidays PMDG MD-11 liverie...

[EHM-1242 Stef]

Hello everybody,

Over the past, what? Two months now? We have been seeing all kinds of screenshots in the forum which feature the new EuroHolidays livery for the PDMG MD-11.

What are the plans of making this livery available to everybody? To be honest, getting a bit fed-up with always 'having to charter' an aircraft from a different airline for my EuroHolidays - class 7 flights.

Hope someone can let us normal mortals know...

Many thanks in advance and happy new year!!

Hi Stef,

Unfortunately we lost 2 Fleet Managers on the last weeks. Both come and both quit without any special reason (both due to lack of free time).

As you also noticed we announced (again) the Fleet Manager recruitment and fortunately one person answered, so we are already talking to him to check his work and try to make sure this situation will not happen again.

But, because all of you are anxious about it , we just placed a special link on the MD-11 fleet page for a temporary version that we have. It's not with the EHO colors but it's almost!

Have fun with it.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks plenty! Anything is better then nothing, right? And it looks cool to me anyway!

One of my upcoming flights then: to EDDF to get a proper repaint!

Nice start of the year! :>

Aloha,

Hi Bruno,

I've just installed the temp livery for the MD-11, but there's a little mistake in the aircraft.cfg. According to the aircraft.cfg it is the PW-model instead of the GE-model.

PS. Happy Newyear to all of you

Hi,

Yes, Evan and I noticed that too. Well, for now use it please, although I am more used to GE engine models too

Hi guys,

Simple solution (below consideres you have already installed EuroHolidays livery in PMDG MD-11):

• navigate to PMDG MD-11 folder in Airplanes under SimObjects folder in FSX
• copy both following files from Texture.MB folder to Texture.EB folder:
     PMDG_MD11_Engine_Left_T.dds
     PMDG_MD11_Engine_Right_T.dds
• from Texture.EB folder now delete following two files (want to keep things nice and tidy, right?):
     PMDG_MD11_PW_Engine_Left.dds
     PMDG_MD11_PW_Engine_Right.dds
• now open the PMDG MD-11 aircraft.cfg and modify the EuroHolidays MD-11 entry according the below (changes in bold italics[/i]):

[fltsim.x]  <-- 'x' should be sequential number in aircraft.cfg[/i]
title=PMDG MD-11 EuroHolidays

• when done, save and close the aircraft.cfg, fire up FSX and enjoy!


That's basically all it takes: you now have one EuroHolidays MD-11 with General Electric engines!

Really don't know why it would take Lufthansa technic so much time to change an engine... :>

Disclaimer: should things however go wrong, please don't come complaining to me, ok? All on own risk.
