I've been assigned Allegiant, Iberia, and Qantas so you will see those completed over the next week or two based on my schedule.

joelyboy911 · September 13, 2011, 01:47:30 AM

You don't have to do them Alex! Make whichever liveries you like, honestly!

But I have made a few more, Alaska Airlines, AeroMexico, China Southern and EVA Air, so I'll get a few more pictures up in the coming days

KoV Liberty · September 13, 2011, 09:35:35 AM

Joel: Ummm, which Alex? Me or Shade, because that gets confusing. Hehe.

WC_EEND · September 13, 2011, 11:46:20 AM

I think he means ShadeSlayer since he (ShadeSlayer) says:

QuoteI've been assigned...

KoV Liberty · September 13, 2011, 06:48:35 PM

Thats what I thought too, but who knows. Having two Alex's is a bit confusing. There is one on the back of my bus and when people talk to em' I just turn my head and go "what?" every time.

joelyboy911 · September 16, 2011, 05:35:51 AM

Anyway, back to the topic

Here are some more liveries:

I was feeling rather Mexican today, when I made these. (As well as the AeroMexico E-190 over here)

And one Chinese livery too:

This also showcases the new variants, and lighting which are all ready to roll!

Enjoy!

Wonderful! I love the MD-90 and MD-95 / 717-200! Too sad that MD went bankrupt at that time so only a few MD-95 / 717-200 were build. I love the overal look of this aircraft... the short fuselage with those big RR engines and the modern glass cockpit

Btw. you could also build the last version of the DC-9 Family... The chinese COMAC ARJ21

you could use the engines of a CRJ, winglets of the 737 and the rest from the 717... $:-\$

KoV Liberty · September 27, 2011, 10:08:01 AM

Well, might as well let one go from the works.

" Edit: Image Removed"

Enjoy.

Alex

Edit 9/28/2011: Some stuff needs to get fixed. A picture will be in a new post and back up here when done.

Jack_wilds · September 27, 2011, 12:00:38 PM

thats pretty neat...

I am wondering did Eastern, North Central or Midwest use the MD's

and if you can fit in another request perhaps either one of these, but not necessary...

Jack

WC_EEND · September 27, 2011, 12:05:04 PM

All of these actually operated the DC-9 at some point in their history according to wikipedia. I've added Eastern Airlines to my livery list

Xander

KoV Liberty · September 28, 2011, 05:00:18 PM

Here it is, as promised.

Edit: Revision to be made on AirTran.

well done! I see that you've worked on the cockpit windows

now they look really good

I can't wait for the release

... but I have to

Well, you could thank Joel for the new windows.

As for the plane itself, the whole livery was on the wrong variant, from an old pre-render. But now it is the correct variant and, I like it.

~~Also, I might paint a Southwest version of the MD-95 depending on whether AirTran's MD's are kept by Southwest.~~

Edit: According to Wikipedia, Southwest Airlines plans to absorb the 717-200 aircraft into its fleet of 737s. This would make Southwest not exclusively 737s anymore. They also plan to repaint the AirTran livery into the Southwest livery, starting in 2012. In shorter words, a Southwest 717-200 will be done.

which McDonnell Douglas is the Boeing 717? i'm a bit confused

joelyboy911 · September 30, 2011, 03:11:46 AM

Well...

Douglas built the DC-9
then they merged with McDonnell.

So McDonnell-Douglas built the MD-80
...and the MD-90

Then they were in the process of building the MD-95,
...But they merged with Boeing, so it was called the 717-200 instead.

[Delta ²k5] · September 30, 2011, 07:59:44 AM

...and 717 was Boeings internal production number for the KC135 Stratotanker

German Wings operated also two 717s for a short period of time. These two were leased from AeBal as you can also see on this photo:

KoV Liberty · September 30, 2011, 10:21:43 AM

To follow up on Joel's post, there were also a few improved variants of the MD-80. The MD-83, MD-82, and MD-81, to name a couple, which makes it the more confusing.

Also the plane lengths are dumb, the MD-95 is the shortest variant (but the newest), the MD-80 is the second longest (the oldest), and the MD-90 is the longest (and second oldest). It really is weird what McDonnell-Douglas did, following the time frame of development in naming the plane variant instead of the length, like everyone else did.

Alex

Also, on the advice of Joel, the project is getting to be a bit long, so that will be the end of requests for now. When things have settled down (as there are quite a few projects to be done here) then we might revisit this release and do a follow-up of requested liveries. Like the AC Team has done.
