Well those last set of shots have made me seriously consider buying it! Looks lovely with the self-shadowing and shine effects. 
Now you just need to carry this quality over to your latest freeware offerings, too...

Hi Guys
More progress.
Redone the bump mapping again now i have my head round what layer does what :brick:
Loadable weapons from Aircraft loading screen which means they add weight (possibly jettisonable later but not promising)
mixed training Matra M155 Rocket pod & CBLS mk100 with 4 3kg practice bombs
Current Aquisition rounds (i think thats what they are called "finless Sidewinders to me"
CBLS mk100 with 8 practice bombs
Pair of AIM-9L Sidewinders on LAU adapter thingys
Regards
Rick (oh dear it's now Friday) but i will get sleep when i'm dead

Hi Garry
I am in love with Bumpmapping currently as it has no framerate hit and brings the model alive.
usually a Black aircraft would look really basic in FS but the way the specular is on a texture and the use of the bump map mean it works.
only trouble is currently i have too many rivets on the hawk .
after my Scampton visit i saw that almost all apart from the rear fuselage (which are the biggest most unaerodynamic rivets i have seen on a small aircraft)
is flush riveted so i will sort that out before release.
I'm not kidding when i say the rivets on the rear would look at home on the boiler of a saddle tank loco
can't find out why but i am guessing it's a stability aid like the feathers on an Arrow flight none of the books say apart from it's "Fred Sutton's Rear End" (oh er missus!)
i am just playing to see what controls what.
But i am beginning to see huge bonuses for staying with FSX while most ran away screaming.
I think i can now do all the new FSX SP2 bits without any major problems even from FSDS3.51 which a month ago i was almost giving up on :o
Anyway i am please i finally got my head round the new stuff.
Regards
Rick

Certainly paid off Rick
At least with you having an understanding it's a start and the rest will follow.
Black is an awful colour for FS to produce but done correctly as you have for FS.X it makes all the difference.
I really am impressed .............it is had to imagine one is looking at an FS model, as I said a week or so ago if this was not an FS site it could easily pass as real.
