Missing 3D textures

[Pinza]

I have lots of grey 'liveryless' planes in my 3D window.

Rod Beardon does a fantastic job in creating 2D airline logos - is anybody out there going to take on a similar 'hero' role in creating missing 3D liveries?

I'm sure some things can be fixed simply by tinkering at home:

For example - PIA792 Birmingham to Islamabad overflies my house every evening.

If it is a B772, I get a full livery. If it is a B773, I just get a grey outline.

Is it simply a case of creating a PIA entry under GE-Models/B773 ?

Rewriting this post as I lost all of it by posting more than 300kb in one go - aargh!

So attach piccie of PIA792 as B772 now and PIA792 as a B773 in a minute...

Part two - PIA as a B773 - no livery - surely a simple fix?

Airnav have stated that they will release some guidance notes on how end-users can create new models and textures, but they've been busy over the last few days, so we need to be patient.

I've had some success experimenting with the techniques involved.  Get familiar with these file formats:
3D Model: .dae (collada format)
Texture: .png (livery)

And get familiar with Google Sketchup, a great tool for creating models in .dae format.

Sorry for the delays with the model/livery tutorial... it's on it's way soon. As tarbat mentioned, you should download Google Sketch Up and get familiar if you haven't done so already.

Look forward to promised model/livery tutorial.

In the meantime, I'm more than happy with my upgrade to 3D - many thanks Airnav and Tarbat.
