Cheers men. Do you know if theres a repaint that puts the cargo door on the port side? (no windows forward of the engine)

by **Ian Warren** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 11:22 am

Not as yet since this one was with the original base most have shied away for an update .

Hmmm ... that'd be a mdl modification though <??>. I could certainly have a go at adding a door outline etc., but the windows might punch through.

The other way around would be to use the freighter model, but that's a separate add-on. The windows could be "faked".

There is for the QWSim 757

But I guess you don't have that one as well as this one!
Nice pic again, cheers

thanks Al....this is the only one i have....I'll just have to screen the other side,

@Splitpin - just double checking ... the CS one is the one you have?

I've just done a quick test on my (CS) one. I can mask out the windows OK - and fake any door outlines, but I won't be able to actually *move* any doors.

This is just a quick mod to the existing paint (by Dave "Dax" Sweetman??) ... so I'd have to get permission from him to use his original. I'm not sure whether there's a paintkit for the CS B757, but Dave's livery is a really fine one. I'd hate to have to do all that from scratch!

I think it's more than just a door ... looks like many of the windows changed as well <???>.

If you know of any *recent* pics of the 757 that show all the details (I don't really know what changed), I wouldn't mind having a play

Yes it is. Flying above Wellington. Not so nice down there (or in Nelson to be honest)

by **Adamski** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 4:50 pm

I've got some good reference pics, so I'll start on the paint mods soon. I'll probably clean it up a bit and give it a bit more of a shine while I'm at it, seeing as it's had a refit

Just had a look in my CS 757 200F and Dax Sweetman did a repaint using this model.

"The RNZAF is currently upgrading both there 757's to include a forward cargo door. This repaint represents what the modification could look like."

Log onto CS and check out the repaints section if you have the Freighter model also...

Will post some shots if I fire up FSX tonight... As promised

Guess where??

Wow!! That's just saved me a ton of work!!! Many thanks!

I hadn't thought of checking the CS site ... duh! Grabbing and installing now!

Marty - you're going to have to wait for the next sale and get the "F" extension
