https://www.jetphotos.com/photo/11053872I'm going to take this opportunity to thank Ray "Ancienterk" Blake for the many UK "personalized" AI planes he painted for FS9 models well back in the day. Seeing his efforts appear in my sim and helping with the sense that I was somewhere in particular, really made a difference to my use of FS9's AI system. I'd seen the point of airlines and noticed that the GA scene was not nearly as colorful (when there is usually far more variety in it), in terms of aircraft, paint schemes, and overall quirkiness. I think I owe my interest in doing this almost entirely to Ray Blake and, later, also to Billy Rutherford's GA paints as well as those by Ross Bremner that helped to keep GA things alive.
Charly's creation of this intriguing "adult coloring book" for AI liveries should have made a huge difference to making GA AI paints, and I'm amazed that only I and Charly seem to be putting much time into it. Once you are "up to speed" on how to operate this incredibly useful tool, liveries like the ones I've been making could be yours for just a few minutes of effort.
I dedicate all these paints to the spirit of Ray's original contribution that is part of the best tradition of freeware creation for Flight Simulator.
