Yep, but I think he's asking about their primary workhorse (757). I don't have time to paint it, sadly, but if someone else is gonna do it, there's a blank cargo template in my pack.

I'm thinking of expanding the list even further by including United, and a few extra skins (China Eastern and Beijing Capital). But this will require me to spend another week reworking the 757 template 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, your right @Highwayman-Ed, there is one for the 737 but not for the rest. This is funny since I don't think UPS ever used the 737 for freight, I’ve always seen them use bigger aircraft like the MD-11 & 747. Anyway, I was hoping that someone could make some skins of UPS current aircraft and maybe one or two of the past. I happen to found out back in the 90s UPS used to operate 727's & Lockheed L-100's, and I was thinking it would be interesting to see that.

Minsky Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) Nearly finished the 757 PAX template (no weathering yet). Tried to be as accurate as the model permits, which sadly excludes the belly. All textures are created completely from scratch. The cargo variant will be next.

Minsky Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Status update. The following liveries will be painted by me: Continental Airlines 1991 737 Continental Airlines 1991 757 United Airlines 2010 737 United Airlines 2010 757 United Airlines 2010 320 United Airlines 2019 737 United Airlines 2019 757 United Airlines 2019 320 No other variants (tulip, battleship, meatball, etc.) and aircraft types are planned, as I consider them historical. Most likely this will be a standalone release, since my Marianas Livery Pack already exceeds 1 Gb. 2 2 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsky Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 757: done with the weathering. The final PAX livery: And the cargo variant is finished as well. Since there's no such thing as a 757-300 freighter, I had to improvise by moving and stretching things a little. For the same reason I chose the "purebred" 757-200PF instead of a converted model. The end result is plausible enough, and doesn't look funny when placed next to the 757-300 PAX. I've had to test it on something, so I thought I might as well paint that UPS skin requested by @navyBtown Don't have time to properly upload it to the User Files right now, so for the time being use this direct link: UPS_757_for_CAM_10-September-2021.zip Both blank liveries and the paintkits should be published by Monday at the usual place. 11 2 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minsky Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 - Uploaded the blank 757 templates and paintkits. - Finished United/Continental repaints. They will be included in the Marianas pack (kudos to 7-Zip for being able to squeeze 30+ liveries in less than 300 Mb) which I plan to release before this weekend. All liveries I painted so far for both packs. Thought my GPU would melt, but everything runs pretty smooth. 4 2 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering .... about folders' size .... Are there copies of the same Normal map / RoughMet textures (or some wing diffuse textures without any difference ?) in every liveries' folders ? The special edited Normal map / RoughMet texture files (like different doors / windows configuration or polished metal parts) have to be placed in the livery folder, but typical + common ones are not. Common Normal map / RoughMet / 2nd-3rd diffuse textures for wings can be packed in a zip file and placed in the Mods/ aircraft/ Civil Aircraft Mod/ Textures/ folder. Liveries' description.lua call those common materials with "true" values. So, if the same common textures can be shared, total folder size can be decreased into 120 MB ?

I prefer to treat each livery from this pack as a standalone entity. And I only need to compress them so tight because uploads are limited to 300 Mb. I think that a few hundred megabytes of disk space is less important than the overall experience. Splitting the download into multiple parts, and then explaining to a user that this thing goes there, that thing must be copied here, and the third thing goes over there is just... way too complicated. Especially if user only needs one or two repaints from the pack, or want to bundle a particular livery with their mission, or share it with a friend. Your approach is also valid, of course -- especially when you have several nearly identical repaints, designed to be used together (e.g. an air wing). 1 1 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsky Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 (edited) Seeing that a patch for DCS is likely coming today, I've decided to postpone the release of the Marianas pack by a couple days. Took that time to paint the last batch of liveries. They're all generic skins for the C210 that I needed for diversity, because Marianas in general, and Guam Intl. in particular, have a lot of GA planes parked here and there. The final list of all repaints to be included in the pack: Air Busan A320 Air Seoul A320 Asia Pacific Classic B727 Asia Pacific Classic B757 Asia Pacific Modern B757 Asiana Airlines A320 Asiana Airlines A330 China Airlines A330 Continental Airlines 1991 B737 Continental Airlines 1991 B757 Japan Airlines 2002 A330 Japan Airlines 2002 B747 Japan Airlines 2011 B737 Japan Airlines 2011 A330 Jeju Air B737 Jin Air B737 Korean Air A330 Philippine Airlines A320 Skymark Airlines B737 T'way Air B737 United Airlines 2010 A320 United Airlines 2010 B737 United Airlines 2010 B757 United Airlines 2019 A320 United Airlines 2019 B737 United Airlines 2019 B757 Marianas Generic Gold C210 Marianas Generic Gray C210 Marianas Generic Red C210 Marianas Generic White C210 Marianas Generic Abandoned C210 Marianas Generic Retired C210 Marianas Air Transfer Blue C210 Marianas Air Transfer White C210 Star Marianas Air Rainbow C210 Star Marianas Air Rose C210 Star Marianas Air Ruby C210 Edited September 17, 2021 by Minsky 3 2 Dima | My DCS uploads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
