since a while I include FSX Lighmaps if you feel the urge to have working Lightmaps in your FSX (not that much care about…I guess) post a comment in any repaint you wish to request one.
And here is what it is about FSX Lightmaps, this is form David Rawlins (incl. the picture):
Never mind that “night” in FSX is quite a bit darker than it was in FS9, the problem is the tail logo light. It’s not lighting up the logo, it’s just dropping a semi-transparent white patch over the base texture. Which is why the tail logo is so obscured.
Using the usual lightmap, the tail logo washed out, and all the windows became pure white.
For whatever reason, FSX decided to take a step backwards with lightmaps from FS9/FS8.
In another step backwards, FSX has apparently removed the ability to have a landing light splash on the fuselage or wing that can be toggled on/off without affecting the rest of the lightmap. None of the default FSX models like the a321, 738 or 744 have a landing light splash.David R
btw, I don’t have FSX 
******
Even it’s mentioned in the ReadMe of my files, it’s a common habit to NEVER read them, here is a list where to find the base models used for my repaints, and if a base model is no longer available for whatever reason, you can contact me.
******
some models were updated recently that requires a change of the textures names, I did that on a view of my repaints and re uploaded them, but there are still a few left that are using the old texture names.
if you replaced those models you’ll have to rename the textures, or if you are not doing a model update, you’ll have to rename the textures on my newest repaints.
a list of the texture names is here

Hi Boris, Welcome home.
The above models that you have listed as not available, I have them if you want them.
I have them archived. My archives go back to 2002.
Just thought I would offer in case you don’t have them.
Glad you had a safe flight, the best repainter in the whole world.
By Boris, September 1, 2009 @ 11:46 am
Hi Roger,
My Europe trip was nice!! Also I’m glad to be back Home now
Thanks for the offer, but I do have all models, it was just meant as they are basically not available if someone searches for them ;-)

Hi Boris and fellow simmers
I am taking pre-orders for a new bumper sticker for your car.
It is going to say, “HONK If you love Boris Repaints”.
;- )
By Roger K. Martin, September 9, 2009 @ 12:12 pm
Hi Boris
I just know read your reply above my bumper sticker post.
Anyways, I am glad you made it home safe from your holiday.
And I hope you had fun in Germany. I wish I could afford to go there to visit the sites.
Maybe someday.
Welcome home Boris.

On September 1st you made the comment of AVSIM being a “little more than a smoking hole”
. I am not going to try and besmirch AVSIM, but, I don’t think they are even working on it.
No offense to anyone at all intended.
Maybe they are working on it.
The library isn’t growing in files. Are they reposting one file a day.?
Maybe, I just don’t understand the complexities of this thermal AVSIM meltdown.
But, the whole AVSIM page looks to me on the surface to be a big “sales pitch”.
Not file uploading and downloading.
I love AVSIM like everyone else, so I am not trying to be mean spirited here.
Also, The fruit stand website is completely gone now.
Boris, maybe you could post about what happened to TFS, if you know.
I liked that website very much.
I don’t see any discussions anywhere on TFS going out like a light.
Thanks
Roger

Roger,
Most TFS Member lost interest in FS over the Summer Period or are busy with Real Life things,
that includes the guys who are doing the TFS Website stuff
Right now it’s only me who still is doing some paints
time will tell if we get back on track and release the Dash 8-100/200 (which obviously is already done as you can get it if you buy ‘UT2′
) and start working on new models 
By Roger Martin, September 12, 2009 @ 3:34 am
Hi Boris
Real life things.? Whats that. ;- ) Well, that is sad to hear. I think I will buy UT2, it looks interesting. That would also mean dumping allot of work I have done and moving over to that frame work, but I will look into it.
So you are the last man standing.
Hard to believe everyone has bailed.
Must be more to life than FS.
Thanks Boris,
Your repaints are appreciated. More now than ever before.
By Kelvin, October 23, 2009 @ 12:40 pm
Hi Boris,
If you have time, it would be nice to have few repaints for Malaysia Airlines’ fleets!
Thanks and cheers!
By Sebastian, November 27, 2009 @ 6:42 pm
You went to Germany?
Shame I didn’t know, sure thing I’d have loved to buy you a beer, or two or three ;)
Great to see you’re back on track with new releases. Thanks!
By Roger Martin, December 1, 2009 @ 6:05 pm
Hi Boris
Thanks for the great repaints. For all you do, a cold Beer for you. Thanks dude.

Lovely work Boris !!!

Hey Boris,
I am a flight simulator 2004 enthusiast, I was wondering if you could kindly do the painkit for the TFS Dash100-200. I greatly would appreciate it.
By Boris, February 27, 2010 @ 9:26 am
The Dash 8-100/200 PK is actually already done, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to release the Model
It still needs to be prepared and packed for public use, it will be available within next month.
By Morten, March 15, 2010 @ 6:51 pm
Hi Boris
Tank you for all your outstanding repaints. My FS sky has a lot of AI flying arround with your name on it! If you find the time or interest – would it be possible to make some new repaints from the SAS fleet? Once again – thank you for all your great work!!
Best regards
By Boris, March 16, 2010 @ 7:42 am
Hi Morten,
I don’t think this (SAS repaints) will happen anytime soon, but thanks for the comment
By Alexczarn, May 21, 2010 @ 1:16 am
Thanks a lot!!
By Pieter, January 11, 2011 @ 3:56 am
Hi Boris,
I’m from Holland and my favourite airline is KLM.
Since KLM will get the Airbus A330-300 in this year. I would really like the TFS A330-300 painted in KLM colours.
Thank you,
Pieter
By Boris, January 15, 2011 @ 12:42 pm
since this is not delivered and I guess even not painted in KLM colors, I will not do that now. Once delivered I’m sure there will be a repaint available quite quick.
By Tyson, January 21, 2011 @ 10:01 am
Hi Boris
If you have the time could you maybe repaint the air canada jazz bombardier CRJ 200s since the current repaints available are for the cdai model which isn’t available.
Thanks in advance!
By James, January 21, 2011 @ 9:36 pm
Hello
Can you please repaint the AIG bombardier CRJ 700 in skywest colors?
Thank you,
James
