OK here is the project. I am creating Steeler Air. In honor of my beloved Pittsburgh Steelers... right now I am working on repainting the 737-700 and 800 (I forget which one I have... one of the new ones I bought with the awesome VC and glass cockpit)

I got the paint part down... evne some nice gradient fills... figured out which black and gold to use so it does not look like it is gunmetal, but an actual paintjob... now... here is the stumper.

HOW do I get the steeler logo in on the tailplane???

I started drawing it, but that is a pain in the butt... I want to import one of the gifs I have of it or something like that... but I do not see a way to do this. What am I missing or doing wrong here???

Anyone in the know let me know please. That is the last piece of the puzzle here.

Thanks in advance!

Hey bel i know this post is old but anyway,

When you say in the subject "Need a lil FS Repaint assistance please"

Do you mean you used the abacus FS Repaint ?

I just wished to know, if so where did you get a 737-800 and 700 to work on fs repaint ???

I just replied too Bel, that is fantastic, as I said in my reply, the gradient is very good, you are a master.

Thumbs up my mate.

Thanks Colin!

Well since this post, what I have done is downloaded imagetools for FS9, then simply used photoshop to do the textures... the NEW Steeler Airs with the football players on the tailplane were made that way. I have not even touched FSRepaint anymore.

Btw Morris...

the 737 700 and 800 are from Skydecks. They are my absolute favorite models! I fly them more than any other aircraft.
