Topic: airberlin (D-ABDB)

Did this livery a long time ago, but never uploaded it. But after the request by steffen.marks here it is:

D-ABDB was leased to OLT Express by airberlin, after only a short period of time OLT went bankrupt, and DB came back to airberlin. Since then airberlin never painted that aircraft back to airberlin colors and it still flies in the mixed OLT/ airberlin livery.

Please use this livery with classic wingtips. Plane-Maker only displays the sharklets, that's why I used them for the pictures.

Re: airberlin (D-ABDB)

Man muss ja auch mal Glück haben ;-). Hätte nicht gedacht, dass die mal wer nachfragt ;-)

Englisch:

Sometimes you just have to be lucky. Never thought somebody would ask for that livery.

Re: airberlin (D-ABDB)

That's a great livery. I downloaded it at first sight. I see the real plane pretty much every other day here at EDDT, as I live close by. I never understood why airberlin never repaintet this jet. They must really be short of money. Anyway, good paint. One minor thing, if you paint the background of the engine plates in the exact same color as the engines itself, the text will look a lot better. See my shots for reference.

I just noticed that there must be something wrong with the normal maps. If I switch them on, all sticker are bright and white,as seen in the second shot. I don't have this problem with other planes. Do you know what could be causing this?

Re: airberlin (D-ABDB)

You have to change the hirachy of the engine_plate.obj. It's in the wrong order, so when normal maps will be engaged x-plane thinks that the plates have to be drawn first instead of the engine.obj with the normal maps engaged.

So in Plane-Maker be sure, that the engine_plates.obj is below the engines.obj and engines_nml.obj like this example here:
