Qantas 737-400 (Jetconnect)

[Alex]

Well, probably part of it at least. I can't remember where I downloaded it from; a quick google search should yield some useful results though.

Once installed it's fairly straightforward, you open the image with DXTBmp, send it to your editor, save it back to the temporary file, refresh the image in DXTBmp, and then save it back to it's original (final?) location.

Thanks Alex,

I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on.

Anybody keen to try a Jetconnect 400 using the Vistliners model. I think every 300 in this part of the world has been done,it would be good to see a few 400's, in particular QFA and QFNZ. Anybody game ?

I tried to start a repaint on it but am finding it quite difficult to repaint aircraft altogether
Will still try but I think I need a bit of help.

You could start off by using Dan's (if he doesn't mind), pulling over textures from the -300 to the -400 (might need to re arrange a few things first) then give him the credit.

Hey Guys,

Here is a picture of the Jet connect 734 I have started repainting.
However close up it looks really blurry but futher back it looks ok Any suggestions on this?
I still need to put on the Kangaroo on the tail and do a few other things.



I probably need someone to fix it up a bit and make it look a bit better.
I will still try and see if I finish it but it won't be a fine job at all.

[Alex]

That's the first step Daniel - always room to improve.

For the blurriness - maybe try changing the export file encoding (File>Save As>... in DXTbmp).

Thanks Alex
I will try that tommorow.
Any ideas on the best way to put a kangaroo on the tail?

[Alex]

Try getting a photo eh - it'd be a pain to hand-draw....

Daniel .. good start ... It dose not happen straight off .. do , try , do then ya get it .. With the Kangaroo , not sure what program you have , very carefully draw around the logo save .. then place onto your paint .

[jastheace]

if you are using photoshop, give me a pm i should be able to help you out. or use the magic wand and select the kangaroo, then cut and paste

From what I know, Daniel's using Microsoft Paint
But then people like Ansel Adams (photographer who made some really good photo art) used a camera like a Holga (bad quality, cheap and nasty disposable camera).

Anyway it actually looks pretty good for a first go. Keep going with the repaint.
As for the kangaroo in MS Paint, it might not be very easy and it might not look great, but it's doable. Just try and copy and paste one from somewhere I guess.

Daniel the reason for your bluriness is that you have no alpha layer applied, if you are using MS paint you cant do it either if not go into your alpha layer and apply a slightly off white alpha.

Um..ok Not as easy as I first thought
I have been using a combination of Paint and GIMP.
I am quite lost about the alpha layer thing
