Here are two repaints currently being tested before release.

Finnair 2007 colours

     

and North American Airlines in 1998 colours.

   

(These images here are not of the finished product.)

Now that pictures are available of the winglet version I can do an amendment to my US Airways repaint to incorporate the fix.

Dax

I have just uploaded the Finnair repaint to www.avsim.com and it should be available soon.

Hello Dax,
Thanks a lot for you beautiful work!
I've found the USairways winglets repaint B757!! it is so good!

KInds regards.

Hi Jessea. Hope this helps?

Manual installation based on FS9.  FSX just needs tha main location changing for the aircraft file.

Create a folder in a temp location and call it texture.NAA
(NAA is an example. Use the same folder name that I have used for the repaint)

Locate the folder named "never-modify"
Normally located at
C:\program files\Microsoft games\fs9\Captain Sim\757\never-modify

Copy all the files in this folder and paste them into the temp folder you have created (''texture.NAA'')

Next you need to copy the folder named "texture.////" and paste it into the main 757 folder normally located at
C:\program files\Microsoft games\ fs9\aircraft\757-200_Captain

You now need to open the 757 aircraft.cfg file. You may need to open the file as a notepad document.
The aircraft.cfg file names all the repaints and aircraft parameters for that particular aircraft. All the different repaints start with [fltsim.XX]

What you are going to do is insert the new repaint into this text.  Scroll down until you get too the last one in the list.
Now you need to copy the complete text below and paste it into the next slot in the sequence.  Remember to change the [fltsim.xx] xx to the next number in the sequnence. ie [fltsim.25]

[fltsim.xx]

description=Repaint by Dave (Dax) Sweetman. Please feel free to send me comments. Email davesweetman@onetel.com. *****Please remember that this is a visual 757-28A only.  Annimations is per stock Captain Sim 757-200.*****
visual_damage=1

Once you are happy you can now close and save the aircraft.cfg.
Close all folders and start FS9.  You should now find the aircraft in the list.

To insert other repaints open the file named "description" in the repaint zip file.  Here you will see the lines that need changing when compared with the text above.

Please email me if you need any further help.

Hi Jessea626

I've done some pictures.  Paints a thousand words.

1 -Unzip the download to your desk top and you should find a base folder named "ATA_200"  Rename this folder to "texture.ATA_200"





2 - Next locate the folder named "never-modify" Normally located at  

C:\program files\Microsoft games\fs9\Captain Sim\757\never-modify  

3 - Copy all the files in this folder
You do not really need to copy the folders named 200, 300 or freighter


and paste them into the temp folder you have created (''texture.ATA_200") but do not overwright the existing files..  It should look like this





4 - Next you need to cut the folder you named "texture.ATA_200" and paste it into the main 757 folder normally located at  
C:\program files\Microsoft games\ fs9\aircraft\757-200_Captain

This is the main 757-200 folder location




And this is what it will look like when you have pasted the repaint into it.



5 - You now need to open the 757 aircraft.cfg file. You may need to open the file as a notepad document.  
The aircraft.cfg file names all the repaints and aircraft parameters for that particular aircraft. All the different repaints start with [fltsim.XX]

What you are going to do is insert the new repaint into this text.  Scroll down until you get too the last one in the list.
Now you need to copy the complete text below and paste it into the next slot in the sequence.  Remember to change the [fltsim.xx] xx to the next number in the sequnence. ie [fltsim.25]

[fltsim.xx]

I did the back to basics instructions in case anyone else needed help.

Dax one more thing.  After having messed around with the aircraft cfg file, now when I try to use the 757 the FMC says " ERROR B757 Aircraft CFG file not found on it.  It was working fine before I edited the CFG file.  Any ideas.

jessea626 I sent you an email with soem things to look at.

Duval can you email me and let me know exactly where you are stuck at.

Sorry guys for the delay in replying.  I've had a few exams and I needed to study.
