CUSTOM A2A Cessna 172 (N8055AW)

Post by EightyFiftyFive »

I've created this custom paint while watching the 2013 Reno Air Races this week hehehe!
This is a brand new $28,000 paint job on an A2A Cessna 172.
I hope you enjoy the pics below until I release the repaint in a day or three.

Cheers!

Main color:
Orange Imron transparency over a candy apple green iridescent paint.

Secondary color:
Silver stripes color shifting into a light plum purple candy apple.

Third and fourth colors:

Holy crap, that is amazing. Never seen anything like that before. It's so shiny and brand new looking. I'm not surprised it was a $28,000 paint job. You can give us a discount though, yes? Pretty please :)

Thank you all for the nice comments.

There's just a couple of small items left to detail and give it an overall check before uploading.
I have decided to leave the interior alone on this one, strictly concentrating on exterior, others can play around with the interior if they choose to have something different. I might include a carbon fiber instrument panel for an update like I did with Black Magic but not worried about that right now.

One thing that makes this look really nice is having your Bloom Effects on in the main setup menu where you set the graphic options in the FSX Simulator. This will work fine without Bloom Effects turned on at all but Bloom Effects will make it look *wetter* and you'll get more of the iridescent effects and candy apple like you see in the pictures here.

Bloom Effect uses a lot of frame rate so if you can't use it due to a slightly slower computer then it's still OK without it and you'll still have a really good effect.

I made it this way so you can incorporate both Bloom Effect or not into the plane so all can enjoy it one way or another. Sort of split the difference between the two bloom settings (on or off)

Thanks again everyone for the comments and to all future comments I may not answer too... Thank You in advance.

PS: ""Trucker"",... I'm having some issues with Black Magic's carbon fiber instrument panel which it was lost so I don't know if I'll include that or not with BM. Might make another one all together.
