After "some" development time of +- one year, this one is finally done now. Please let me know your experience with the repaint, there are some new techniques I applied...

+++ IMPORTANT: To get the best appearance (as on 1st picture) of the chrome mirror effect, I highly recommend to install these freeware envmap textures: http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=129335

Dear Tanya, please add to library, THANKS.

Very nice ! I see that you sorted your Mirror Chrome issue... How did you do it ?

Cheers

Hi, I am still playing around with this as I am not yet satisfied with the results.

I had to find a workaround for editing the main texture's alpha channel as normally as this causes display errors with the fuselage, especially in the window area.
Tried editing the Spec-Files and their alpha channels and the bump files and their alpha channels. A combination of this, in addition to the right aircraft belly color (for the chrome effect) is finally the solution.

I was never satisfied to "paint the chrome effect" on the aircraft body, is this is too static and colors are not shifting while flying a curve etc.

I love this paint-scheme. Great work. Thanks a lot.

This repaint looks great. I downloaded the file but unsure how or where to install it. Can you please advise. Thanks again for the great work.

hi, please see the readme file. Where are you stuck?

I didn't see a read me file. Just one file appears in the download named 707sabena.rar. Not sure what that one file is. But no readme file.

Well I got a read me file.Are you sure you checked all the files that were unzipped?
By the way, great job on the repaint :) :) :)

Mine was not a zip. Just one lone file in the download.This is the link I downloaded from. At a bit of a loss here.

Brian. Use WinRAR, WinZip or 7-Zip to extract the contents so you can see what you got and what to do. As far as I know, they all have free trial versions you can download.

You're welcome.

Something to think about - I think it is would be better to ZIP them (I know it doesn't compress them as much as a RAR file does), but Windows has it's own included ZIP program (the compress folder/drive thingy) that is able to open ZIP files as if they were a folder. This could explain why Brian doesn't have one of those programs. ;)

I downloaded the WinRAR and got the livery installed with no problems. Thank Mark and 707 Capt. It's really a nice job. I installed the envmap textures. The chrome ( aluminum ) looks great. My new favorite 707 repaint.
