It's been a decade since I gave up my MS Flight Simulator hobby but this reference is one I'll never forget from creating aircraft textures!

Bert, which of the colours do you mean as I see three different VWs!

What did you get me into Werner!??

Anyway, the black looks great, especially with the imposed ebony board, but there are too many black on black instruments out there.
Out of all of them the grey looks the best!
What about an Army Green? I painted my pedal bike this colour, it goes well with black too!

The black looks very good.

german black/green which was on the helmets,mess tins and gas mask canisters is nice...like colored shadows in a forest.

I like the white.

Ivan, that is already discontinued... it can be downloaded but is nowhere near FSX. Get Flight X or something like that instead!
I had an actual try-out lesson in a Cessna, and flying turned out to be rather boring, so I lost interest in aviation after that quickly.
Maybe the fact I hit the car's windscreen in an accident just turned my brain around

Bert - nothing wrong with the colour of the van!

You didn't fly long enough as eventually you would have also experienced moments of sheer panic.

Hey Bert, I really like that first color in your series of mock-up pics! What is that, RAL 5023? If I ever end up with an s8 project (or one in MG - not my personal fav) I might have to try something like that myself

FWIW, I always thought BMW's laguna seca blue (LSB) would look sharp on a bass

Cool project- good luck with it!

I have a picture of a Fiat 500 in tech house grey. I used Photoshop's color sample tool to distil a part of it. I guess I sampled a part which had relatively much light on it in the picture.

Actually it was too big for my computer, and it would have ran slowly, so I just canned it. LOL!
I'll look into FSX, hopefully my computer can support it!

Some colors which crossed my photoshop. Some of them where shot when I saw them, but I'll let you see them all for now.





I'm still wondering if a matte finish will show up lighter than the standard RAL color or not.

(The Hipshot is allready removed and will not be installed again.)

I like either the first or last.

small update:



On my request the old board was put off with delicate care. So it might be reusable at some point for whatever project.

cool

Of that latest batch of photshop pics,i liked the first color best for having some contrast to the black parts. Is the new ebony fingerboard going to be bound or un-?

WHITE !!! LOOKS GREAT WITH BLACK HARDWARE !!!
