After many hours of research, trial and error, and 17 different attempts and versions I am pleased to finally be able to release my first livery ever and for MSFS2020.
In addition to the exterior, I also created a custom interior and seats. The cup was created by Flightsimguy24 and has been used with his permission so make sure to thank him as well!
I spent many hours trying to get every detail as close as I could to the real thing but it still is not 100%. If you spot any inaccuracies, please let me know and provide a picture or link, or other references so that I can make the proper corrections. Though please keep in mind that some creative liberties were taken. Attached is just one of, but the main reference(s) used.
I tried to give the seats a real 90s vibe so hopefully, you like it! If you prefer the default seats, just delete the relevant textures.
I wholeheartedly welcome any feedback but please keep in mind that is my first attempt at a livery.
I have already started work on a version for the A321 and will probably release a dirty version for both at some point in the near future.
Installation is just like any other livery. Just extract the files and drag and drop them into your community folder.
2.1
As of 2.1 there is now a darker version for you to download if you feel the original is too bright. Although the original color is the original hex color, I understand that some felt it was too bright. You now have the option to choose whichever version you prefer.
Additionally, there is now a 'bluer' and dirty version if you prefer that style as well.
Hope you enjoy it!
While I enjoy making liveries and will always continue to do so for free, please note that even simple liveries require at least a few hours of work. Research is done, references (not just photos) are collected, and only then can the painting begin. Testing is done, screenshots are taken and then everything is uploaded. The point is - these things take time, especially when done right so please don't be shy about showing your appreciation to me or any of your favorite livery creators. You can buy me a coffee, but even just a thoughtful thankful comment means a lot.
Outstanding, great detail!!!!!

Hi Mr. Jones,
thanks a lot for that livery - great work - I have waited a long time for that FBW-Livery.
But by the way, isn´t that color a touch too green? Maybe you can check this? Would be great - Thanks once again!!!!

Hi Bob, Thanks so much for your review and your feedback! Honestly, this is one of the details I went back and forth on the entire time haha. The base color (green) is a hex value I pulled and compared against other sources online so that is what decided to use. I ended up darkening it up a little bit in the file you downloaded so it won't be as green in-game. You are right though, in many pictures, it appears to be slightly bluer than what I did. I am not sure whether it was intentionally painted that way or it turned that way after some sun damage because it seems to vary from photo to photo and aircraft to aircraft, though they are all still in the same range. I figured since this was supposed to be a new plane and freshly painted off the line...
Having said all that, I may go back and adjust the color some more once I have finished working on my next livery.
