Topic: American Airlines - N655AW

Done! Download it here.

I've been wanting to make some flights around the US but really wasn't happy with the American livery available on the A320's website... What was originally meant to be a small, private correction to that livery has ended up being a completely new livery!

I've carefully managed every tiny detail on this livery to the point I think I can confidently say this is the most accurate representation of American Airlines' livery for any aircraft in X-Plane!

There are also "fixed" normal maps which will make the signs on the aircraft less bright and contrasted - These can be used in any livery too, they are only a small fix over the default files. If you backup the originals first, I recommend adding these to the aircraft's root objects folder.

I've put a huge amount of effort into this livery so I really hope you enjoy it!.

Original Post:

I couldn't help but notice some major inaccuracies in the American livery currently available, and was originally just going to fix the fuselage titles but then decided to completely remake the livery!

Everything has been, or will be, hand-crafted to ensure maximum quality, as with all my liveries! That means no photo transplants or fuzzy edges!

The below screenshot is VERY WIP so don't take too much seriously. The flag on the fuselage should be ignored, it is from the old livery and is to be replaced. The IAE engines are also not included, read more about those here.

I re-did all of the reds and tweaked some blue on the tail today, and my goodness is it looking good if I may say so myself!

I've also got the rear fuselage patterns roughly laid out, which means there are no placeholders from other people's work any more - everything you see has been painted by me! With the worst parts out of the way (aligning the lines around the fuselage to be at exactly the right angle and perfectly straight is a hell of a bigger job than it sounds!), this livery could well be done by the end of tomorrow!
