I have a request, if I may, I note that your livery is very big (1 GB+), would it be possible to trim it down for another version ? I understand the beauty of 8K graphic files but it is a bit overkill for a standard 1080 display. My community folder is already very large. If I got to do it myself which file(s) would be the best candidate to scale down. Thanks !
EDIT Ok I manage to scale it down to 4K. The folder is now 200MB. Still looks good in 1080. Thanks

I was at work and couldn't reply, but I did see your question and yes, but I'm glad you got that sorted. If anything looks wacky let me know I'll print up a set of 4096x4096 textures and upload them.

If you had my last version 1.0 of AE-B, you can overwrite that file with this.
