Hiya can someone point me in the direction of a place where I can get all of the FSpainter base models & repaints for UK airlines eg I can’t find an A300 Monarch (new) livery or ditto A330!! :confused:
Many Thanks

A good place to go for pretty good AI at the moment that doesn’t seem to be mentiond here yet is http://www.world-of-ai.com/ .They’ve just released their 34th pack today.
Models and flightplans all included in the self installer so it couldn’t be easier to get your airports some life.
Aer Arrann is down the list somewhere and includes the full fleet paints.
As for the Dash models, best bet is still PAI for almost all props.

its down on the list.
there are other providers who have made the flightplans i think, but these are the only ones that i can locate right now.

Anyone know where I can get Aer Arran flightplans?

If anyone’s interested I’ve found one of the things I was originally looking for – a MON A300 new livery:
Search library.avsim.net:
monarch_a330_a300.zip

hi
textures need to be sourced from the various download sites. i try avsim first, and if i can’t find a texture that i need, i go to Flightsim.com where i am usually successful.
PAI textures cannot be used with FSP models. this rule applies across flight sim: only textures that are specifically created for a specific model can be used. just as a project opensky 747-400 texture cannot be used on a Meljets 747-400 and vice versa.
u need to find the textures that are designed to be used with the aircraft model. a texture has to be made for a particular model.
if TCX is Thomas Cook, then for their textures, try search terms like ‘thomas cook FSPainter’ in avsim.
– with AIA (AI Aardvark), the textures for their aircraft can be taken from their website. AIA for 727s,737s,747s,757s,767s,DC-9s, MD-8Xs, MD-90s, ERJ-170/5s
– FSPainter, the textures and models need to be taken from the download sites like avsim and flightsim.com. use FSP for all Airbus aircraft (inc. the A300,A310 (except the A321), 777, Fokker 50, Saab 340b (although be careful with this one as FSPainter took the PAI model and updated it making it better for AI purposes, make sure you get the ‘pure’ FSP model), ATR42s (although FSP shares more or less the same model as PAI)
– Evolve AI for A321, ERJ-140/5s, DC-10s – access via Evolve AI
– CDAI for b1900D, CRJ-200/700, L1011 – access via Evolve AI
– DJC, for BAe Jetstream 41, Fairchild Merlin and Metroliner. access via Evolve AI
– Dee Waldron, and Henry Tomkiewicz have produced lots of models for smaller types, mostly bizjets and GA- http://81.208.92.5/dee_cp/fs_projects/index.html
– FMAI for your BAe 146. some textures are available on avsim. i can’t locate the model – perhaps some detective work for you 😀 😀 😉
i don’t know where to get the Dash 8 from, although it is suggested on ‘other’ forums to use the PAI models for these aircraft
hope that helps 🙂

Hiya again – things are going but..(:D)
– Where can I get textures (e.g. TCX for FS Painter models (can the PAI ones be used?)
– Where can I download Dash8, Bae 146 etc?
Many Thanks
Phil

this is a great thread :D. very helpful for me as well – thanks Adam & Phil
By: philgatwick05 - 21st March 2006 at 12:49
Many thanks – I might have to take you up on that offer 😀
By: adamdowley - 20th March 2006 at 22:38
cool, if u need any other help, just ask and i’ll try 🙂
By: philgatwick05 - 20th March 2006 at 19:49
That’s an awesome help and so quick too! I’ve seen your other thread and am very impressed so you could kind of say you inspired me! I’ve done this before but always used PAI models but I’ve never been that thrilled so am jumping in with this lot now! Many Thanks – hopefully I’ll post some shots of my intial trial (just loading RYR + EXS on) later tonight. 🙂

😮 you’ve fallen into the AI trap! no! grab onto the rope!!! now! quick!!! lol
lol. if thats what you are doing – replacing or creating AI from scratch i can tell you that you’ll have an interesting ride. you’ll start adding/replacing some models, then you’ll want to add/replace just a few more and so on. its addictive!
to answer your q, this is the pack you need for the base models:
ai_airbus_complete_120685.zip from avsim.
to get textures, you have to download them separately from avsim or whereever. FSPainter doesn’t have a website which really makes finding and downloading all the textures you want a very slow process.
i haven’t replaced my A300s yet, but have replaced the A330 fleets. i was unable to find a Monarch new colours texture for the A330, as you’ll see in my screenshots on the other thread (notice the lousy plug there, lol :rolleyes: ) – i use their old one.
incidentally, just finsihed replacing my ERJ145s 😀 😀
btw, use FSPainter for all Airbus aircraft
except the A321 – use Evolve AIs A321
use AI Aardvark for your Boeing models (they have a grat website which directs you to all the paints that you need. very helpful), but get your 777 from FSPainter.
hope that helps
