Used MobiFlight to set the actions. Will expand on this to a more polished controller that works for the basic balloon as well as the FlyDoo balloon with a motorized fan on board for navigation.

Unfortunately, the livery is not compatible with FS 2024.* **Background on N149Z** The US Forest Service uses infrared line-scanning aircraft to detect and map forest fires. King Air N149Z is one of the two fixed-wing aircraft that fulfill this role in the western United States. During the current 2020 fire season, the aircraft and its crew have been busy flying missions almost every day. The flightaware tracker (https://flightaware.com/live/flight/N...) shows recent heavy activity between Ogden, Utah and points in Oregon, Idaho, and Colorado. The aircraft even has its own twitter account ( @nirops_n149z ) that is used to announce the availability of new infrared imagery as it's acquired, so that emergency response personnel can quickly get the data they need to evaluate fire events as they're happening. **About the Livery** My take on the livery aims to be as true-to-life as possible. The actual N149Z is a Beechcraft Super King Air 200, a slightly older model than the 350i featured in Flight Simulator. For ATC, I felt is was important to keep the authentic tail number in-game, though its position is different. Due to a bug in Flight Simulator, the tail number color cannot be changed. Included in the pack are two alternate color schemes based on the same livery. A reversed version, white-on-red. And a version in the Forest Service green color traditionally used for the ground vehicle fleet. All liveries have been created from scratch using 4k textures. I hope you enjoy flying with these liveries as much as I've enjoyed making them.

Materials for aircraft liveries are stored in the Red, Green, and Blue channels of the COMP composite material file. The Beechcraft King Air aircraft has a couple of areas that need to be patched up when making custom liveries, and I demonstrate how to quickly edit each channel individually using Photoshop.https://cdn.f-h.co//video.adamwilbert.com-playlists/hls/8c3df55e-10e8-437f-a538-4e43bd9e278b/a0179f65-382b-4379-935b-fc6375a520db-master.m3u8https://video.adamwilbert.com/videos/embed/ijqFNf6gcL51m1z9irF8n6438012024-12-12T23:14:31.858ZLiveryMSFS2020FlightSimYESFlight SimulatorNOhttps://video.adamwilbert.com/w/gd7vYByyqvH3agkkcyxGmwhttps://video.adamwilbert.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/a41e805f-5056-41c4-b9d7-7bc120ff07c0.jpgFlight Sim Liveries: Staying Organized in PhotoshopOriginally Published to YouTube on Oct 1, 2020. Keeping an organized photoshop document will help you from getting lost when editing the mass of colors in a Flight Sim livery. In this video, I walk through the initial steps that I take to make sure that I know what components of the aircraft fall where in the textures. I’m working on the Beechcraft King Air 350i.

The composite material (COMP) files for a Flight Simulator 2020 livery store information on the three color channels: red, green, and blue. When you want to make changes to these materials, but keep an organized & layered workflow, you'll need to separate out your edits using adjustment layers. In this video, I show you how to maintain flexibility in your work that allow you to make non-destructive edits that can be tweaked and adjusted easily. All four of my Photoshop documents (Engines, Wings, Fuselage, and Tail), and a completed Flight Sim livery for the Beechcraft King Air airframe are available here: https://flightsim.to/file/1127/lincoln-penny-a-textured-metallic-tutorial-livery-with-layered-psds-included Download the files, explore how they're organized, and play around to find combinations of texture and color that tickle your fancy.https://cdn.f-h.co//video.adamwilbert.com-playlists/hls/ec6b0cb0-df6d-4312-bb16-bd6f6b3b6b44/94c7015a-81df-4cf4-87f8-08bff90e84c9-master.m3u8https://video.adamwilbert.com/videos/embed/vcfmCiqebfMcKaj9GTemRA1405082024-12-13T01:35:30.821ZFlightSimMSFS2020LiveryYESFlight SimulatorNOhttps://video.adamwilbert.com/w/oketctfhkJ11mdGTXiGsd5https://video.adamwilbert.com/lazy-static/thumbnails/9ad3d0c2-2f6d-44f0-8193-471830e0910d.jpgFirst two minutes in the Juice Goose ATV for Flight Simulator 2024The Juice Goose is an all-terrain vehicle for Microsoft Flight Simulator, and has been newly updated for MSFS 2024 by //42. https://parallel42.com/products/juice-goose.

It applies live graphical filters and a layer mask all in one step. This makes for a fast, non-destructive, reconfigurable effect that's super easy to apply. And since it's applied on its own layer, it can be rearranged in the layer stack, sandwiched between other content, and adjusted as needed.

It allows you to quickly add pizzaz to any screenshot so that they stand out. Add colorful backgrounds and soft drop shadows, then add annotation markup with arrows, callout boxes, and index numbers. You can easily blur out or pixelate sensitive information. The app is currently under active development, and it does have a few quirks that I would expect to get ironed out over time. It's available for a very reasonable one-time-purchase.
