Painting Liveries of stock Mooney Bravo
_______________________________________

Painting issues:

1. Lower part issue:

When painting the lower parts and belly of the aircraft I did experience an issue.
Say that we have painted a red colored lower part then the window frames (upper part) will 
be colored red (belly color) on the inside. The only way to prevent that is to leave a part of 
the belly uncolored (red) and leave the color light gray.
For this matter I did draw a light gray rectangle with these specifiactions:

Size:	Top: 	190
	Left:	53
	Right:	99
	Bottom: 605

colors (R,G,B):   214, 216, 222

Size values are in pixels of the "mooney_bravo_t.dds" file when
editing the norm.bmp file when dds file is opened with program DXTBmp.exe


2. Wing step covering part

The stock painting part of the wing step on the right wing is IMHO not so nice and 
can look like as if it has a tarmac texturing.
I found it more visual attractive to paint that part with a dark gray color.
See for this matter the pictures Mooney_WingStep_New.png and Mooney_WingStep_Old.png.
Color (R,G,B) used for the new paint: 41, 40, 41


3. ATC ID Paint

With the current model it seems NOT possible to paint a proper ATC ID text on the fuselage in 
a correct way. If one tries to paint an ID text then one side will render it will but 
the other side will be rendered in a flipped way.
If one manages to paint an ID in a proper way then one should also be aware that the model 
is rendering the ID text on the fuselage at a fixed specific location

atc_id=N859AT;//<-------- Will be rendered on fuselage at specific location
