Wilco/FeelThere E170 (UPDATE: Finalized pics posted)

[Adam Magiera]

I picked up the E-Jets pack and noted there was a paintkit available. Here is what I have come up with. I did go a little Noble Retro as I have a soft spot in my heart for the White tail Red lion of times past and it kind of matches our web logo. It wouldn't be a problem to do it Blue Tail and Yellow Lion if wanted. The only part about this bird that I am not sure about is whether the NobleXpress on the engines is sufficent or if I should put regular titles on the fuselage. It felt "busy" with the titles on the fusalage (not to mention this paint kit makes the letters a pain to get even as it is cut in an awkward place), but seems a little plain without them. I have a little work to do under the tail as this is another bizzare part of the paintkit. The whole plane is painted and only tweaks are needed at this point. Thoughts on this bird?

Nice work Adam I fly the E-190 quite a bit and must say it generally is not draped in Noble Air fabric
Are you able to have a go at the longer version if possible as well?
Cheers

I do have that paintkit for the E190 and that is next on my todo list once I get the 170 textures tweaked.

Good job number 1!

Excellent Adam Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labours

PS maybe a subtle hint of "NOBLE EXPRESS" on the fuselage, as in a few shades darker than the white that you have..ie., dark white on white

Should work in both. I have only tried it in FSX as I do not have FS9 installed here, but the files are standard Extended bitmaps, not .DDS so they *should* work in FS9 just fine.
