Re: Hawker Sea Hawk beta test ready

Can the wing lights be made to turn off automatically when the wing fold command is given? We hit a similar problem with the A2A 3D lights on gear legs and folding wings. We now have a gauge (or gauges...can't remember now if one gauge does both) that is called specifically in these cases and it tur...

Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P

Looking at that I think you should change the 'J' to 'R' in that triangular sticker! :o :lol:

Re: FSX Bump mapping question

Here's what I was playing with on the spec maps..... http://media4.dropshots.com/photos/93830/20081001/b_134317.jpg The red and blue paint have a 'metal flake' effect that only 'glistens' when the sun hits it at just the right angle. I also 'tinted' the shine for the respective areas so that you get...

Re: Too much time on my hands.....

I wish he'd get rid of those damn ugly zebra print seat covers though! :o :@ We have both been playing with repaints for this one recently, here's mine... http://media5.dropshots.com/photos/93830/20080926/b_102728.jpg I finally figured out how to get metal flake effect paint to work in FSX so that i...

Re: FSX Bump mapping question

D@mn! :roll: :-( Oh well that was a fruitless 4 hours last night but at least I now understand how to make bump maps even if I can't get them onto the model in question.

FSX Bump mapping question

I have recently been sloshing the virtual paint around for something to do as it's been a while since I last played with repaints. Things have gone well and I have even managed to figure out how to get a high gloss, metal flake effect, paint job by clever use of the spec map and alpha channel (somet...

Re: Gliding in FSX & FS9

Funnily enough the first two add-on aircraft I added to FS9 were Rick's Chippie and the T.21. I just had to get the planes...
