Hi, and thanks for downloading my Finnair's new livery textures for Thomas Ruth's A340-300! These textures were made from a simple port-over from my previous Finnair paint for the A330-300, as both the A340-300 and A330-300 share an identical fuselage and paintkit layout. A number of issues in the original A330 paint were found and were fixed in this A340 paint, and were later incorporated to the A330 paint (details are in that texture package). As a result, the paints are identical except for a few subtle changes with registrations and wings. As with the A330, the same issues are present regarding the registration letters above the port cockpit windows and the "Finnair" billboard titles on the fuselage. At the time these textures were packaged together for upload, a "Oneworld logojet" version of this paint and aircraft is considered. On the other hand, an "Angry Birds logojet" is out of the question because the engines are painted two at a time on the paint kit as opposed to individually, and as each engine has a different sticker this would be impossible to replicate. If this were possible, I would still consider making this paint even though at the current time of upload, the Angry birds stickers have been removed from the real-life plane. V2 (this one): 25 March 2012 A oneworld logojet was painted after I discovered my winglet logos were too big (refer to V4_reference.jpg). As such the new winglets were applied to this A340 as well as the A330 (which is on V4 now) Still no Angry Birds logojet or cockpit window registration letters. I hope this will be my last revision to the paints. - The model needed to use these textures can be found at the following links, though if you haven't signed up or logged on to the respective sites please do so: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=140012 or http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=0&fname=TOMA343B.ZIP For these models to display correctly, Microsoft's SP1, SP2, or Acceleration expansion pack must be installed. This download includes 32-bit and DXT5 variations of the textures; DXT5 is the standard format for FSX, though 32-bit textures are of slightly higher quality but are 4x the normal filesize. - To install, copy the "texture.FIN_NC" folder into your installed "Tom_A340-300" folder. If you want to use the 32-bit textures instead, open the included "32-bit" folder and copy the textures inside instead. Open "fltsim.txt" and copy the information, then open "aircraft.cfg" in the "Tom_A340-300" folder. Paste the information after the last 'fltsim.#' entry, changing the "X" to the next corresponding digit. For example, if the last entry was "[fltsim.10]", change the X of the entry you just pasted to "11" to make it read "[fltsim.11]". Save, close, and the next time you open the list of aircraft it will be available under the title "Airbus A340-300 Finnair NC" - If you have any additional questions please do not hesistate to contact me at my e-mail address "rgabuyo17@gmail.com" This file was initially uploaded to Flightsim.com and avsim.com.
