Title: RR Expansion Paint Kit
Post by PC Aviator on Nov 7th, 2018 at 8:03pm
Hello,

Does anyone know where I can download the Rolls-Royce expansion paint kit?

I checked and it appears the base package PW (at least the engines) is different from the RR version. I believe this to be the case because I compared the .dds files from the PW version to the RR version.

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, the 757 III paint kit is all-inclusive, so it's for the PW, and RR, and for the upcoming Frieghter too. I'm not sure if it includes the -300 though.

Thank you. My reason for asking is because the texture files for the PW versus the RR version are different in appearance. I attempted to add a logo to the engine cowls for the RR and the .dds textures are not lining up correctly.

I then compared the .dds files for PW engines to those of the RR and noticed differences which I believe is the result of the tailpipe section not looking correct for RR.

I thought the paint kit would be the same as you've stated, but for some bizarre reason I keep thinking I saw a post or announcement that the paint kits for the RR and Freighter version had been released in anticipation of the other models coming out.

If I'm missing something please let me know. Or if you are able to verify the .dds files for the engines look different between the two models.

I'm currently looking at the American Airlines (N205UW) RR 4D folder. The files are: 57_REL_T.dds and RER_T.dds . The most noticeable difference is the tailpipe. I've attached pictures in the hope this might clarify what I am inquiring about or noticing.

"PW cowlings paint" was downloaded via ACE and unaltered.

Since I could only post one picture at a time here is the RR I attempted to update.

Mark is right, the 757 III paint kit is all-inclusive.
But PW and RR engines mapping is different of course. See the repaint kit .psd files for details.

It's the repainter's mistake. Delete the 57_REL_T.dds and RER_T.dds and it will be all right.
