There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

TIAR I see the issue now, X-Plane uses the open source, aka GIMP type .png file formating for textures. So one would need to convert these .png files into DDS format to work in MS, that strikes me as being a serious bit of work and one has to say not worth the effort, easier to start from scratch with the paint kit.

Just uploaded three repaints here in library. They are available soon.
This repaint shows DC-6A N620NA of Nord Aviation with c/n 44677/527. This Six was delivered on 1954-11-26 to the famous Flying Tiger Line as N34953. Nord Aviation bought it in September 1993 (reregistering it back to N620NA), while Nord Star Airlines started a lease by that date. 1997 it participated in a commercial for American Airlines and was resprayed as such. Based at Santa Teresa Airport/Dona Ana County Airport, El Paso, NM. Last action date was 2008-10-21, wearing old AA color scheme without titles. Registration cancel date was 2012-08-15. Status unknown.
This repaint shows DC-6B V5-NCF of The Flying Bulls (Redbull) with c/n 45563 in 2000. Was built 1958 for Jugoslovenski Aerotransport. Sold to Yugoslav Air Force in 1961. Later this Six was sold to Namibia Commercial Aviation NCA in 1994 as V5-NCF. Two years later on duty with Namibia Airlines wearing NCA sheme and Air Namibia stickers. In 2000 sold to The Flying Bulls, transfered it to Salzburg/Austria. Today in 2017, the OE-LDM is the last airworthy DC-6B in Europe.

Here it is the final repaint work of this unique paint scheme. I just uploaded it here in library.
This repaint shows US Navy VC-118B 128425 of VR-1 Squadron based at NAF Andrews in 1963. It was one of six R6D-1 delivered from Ontario, CA 1961 und redesignated as C-116B. Others were 128423, 128427, 128429, 128431, and 128433. 128425 was the only one wearing this red scheme on tail for a very short period of time.

Air Force One repaint of Kennedy´s VC118A is already uploaded and will be available soon.
This repaint shows Air Force One VC-118A 53–3240 in the year 1962. This Liftmaster with c/n 44611 was built as a VIP transport and delivered to the 1254th Air Transport Wing at Washington International Airport on December 23, 1955. In July 1961 the 1254th ATW along with 53–3240 were relocated to Andrews AFB. The aircraft soon became President John F Kennedy’s favorite plane to transport him to the short landing strip at Hyannisport, Massachusetts or smaller Airfields. Later in 1962 this VC-118A got the famous turquise/blue livery, which was designed by Jackie Kennedy (for the SAM 62-6000, a VC-137C). President Lyndon Johnson occasionally used this aircraft, too. After the presidental flight-time, aircraft was shortly used as VIP transport for USAF again with white/grey scheme. On 18-6-1975, the 3240 was transferred to the Military Aircraft Storage and Disposal Center (MASDC) with inventory number CG073. Today, this aircraft is on display at the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson Arizona painted in the scheme Jackie Kennedy had designed.
And yes, I am currently working on the famous turquise/blue presidental flight scheme. WIP shot coming soon.
