IMPORTANT NOTE
ALL MY LIVERIES FOR THE FLYINSIDE BELL 47G2 ARE ONLY GOOD UP TO VERSION 2.5. IF YOU HAVE UPDATED TO ANY MORE RECENT VERSION MY LIVERIES WILL NOT DISPLAY AS I WOULD LIKE.
I AM AFRAID THIS IS A LONG TERM THING AS I DON'T SEE THE MODEL ACHIEVING A STANDARD I CAN SUPPORT FOR A LONG WHILE TO COME. THIS IS DUE TO MANY INCOSISTENCIES IN THE TEXTURE MAPPING THAT ARE CHANGING WITH EACH UPDATE. ONE DAY PERHAPS.
THE CURE - DELETE MY TEXTURES OR REVERT THE MODEL TO v2.5 UNTIL FLYINSIDE MANAGE A SINGLE STANDARD.
I AM VERY SORRY ABOUT THIS AND APOLOGISE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.
Hi folks, here is my first livery upload for msfs. This livery is only for the Flyinside Bell 47G2 and depicts a British Army Bell 47 Sioux, license built by Westland as flown by the Blue Eagles Army Helicopter display team from the late 60's to the early 70's.
Caveats - The real Brit Army Sioux were G3 variants with turbocharger. Also, pundits will know that the cockpit layout is not "as per" and that there are markings missing on the bubble canopy. I think Flyinside are working on some of these needs and may implement them one day.
I should also add that the main textures are in 8096 x 8096 to give maximum close up detail
To install, you must have the Flyinside Bell 47G2 payware installed. Simply unzip the downloaded zipfile either direct into your community folder or to a "storage" folder and then move it to your community folder.
As this is my first attempt at sharing an "Eagleskinner" repaint for msfs, I would appreciate feedback as to how this paint works for you. I am so used to FSX livery creation that this new fangled msfs file system has become really confusing. ;)
By the way, if you do find anything on my uploads that "irritate" you, i.e. you know better because you have more accurate details, then please. please. please let me know. I will fix what I can.
To all who have downloaded my liveries so far - first of all thanks for your trust and likes!
Now, Flyinside are definitely rebuilding their model and they have assured me there will be changes that I can use. The problem will be that they are going to remap textures to the 3D model in a more economical method. Tha will mean a full new model update for all of us and we painters will have to redo our liveries from scratch.
So while we wait for this to happen, I would really like you kind folks to keep using the current liveries and let me know of any paint errors, no matter how small they might seem. I will try to fix anything you find and incorporate the fixes in the updated model.
