It’s ironic because previously I thought it was a completely white fuselage apart from the tails as it flew over head. It wasn’t until I managed to get the binoculars on it that I first saw those stripes on the front. I’ve still got the image in my head it was the front right I could see , it was almost directly overhead but just far enough off centre to see them…so no the underneath stripes don’t matter at all and strangely add to recreating my memory !
At least in my almost 40 year old memory of the event the stripes were only on the side, did they actually go all the way underneath and join up then ?
I didn’t know what airline it was at the time, all I knew is I wanted to be up there flying it. My friends had knowledge of football teams , but I had knowledge of different U.K. airlines , and air Ecosse wasn’t one I recognised, so it’s always intrigued me as to what it was.
Anyway I’m sorry to have hijacked this thread and your time with my rambling , but I’m extremely grateful for your work.
It’s just one of those childhood memories that has stuck with me and remained special to this day for some reason, perhaps you have something similar and can understand.
I can’t really find any good pictures from below the aircraft, but one picture did look like the stripes went all the way around the underneath. But to be honest, I am not 100% sure myself.
I am happy to be of help
And it’s always good to hear some old school memories of aviation and the passion that comes from it, so please don’t apologise.
It would appear to me that although these stripe do wrap underneath the nose, they do Not seem to be continuous as the Gear Doors remain unpainted … thoughts ?
You have to edit the aircraft file, plus the manifest and layout files so they point to the named livery texture files. I use “find and replace” in the layout files and it works well. There is an automated exe file to do this, but I can’t figure out how to use it!
Brilliant, thanks again Matt.
I’m currently overseas with my real world jet but can’t wait to get home and install this.
PS I tried to buy you a coffee via .to but my PayPal account is closed , is there another way to buy you a brew for your work ? Feel free to PM me if you use revolute or something similar.
