Republic and Chrysler ... Oh Boy

OK, I need help, besides the obvious. ;) Look at the silver rectangular on the wing root by the flaps. I can't find where that is located, so if anyone knows, I would appreciate it. Then I can finish the markings and get this out.

LOL Yup, what a hoss she was too!

Duckie did the awesome graphics on the XP47H inside and outside.

Not sure if he is available for some bumps and specs but the aircraft is set up to support them.

The Republic Experimentals are the next in the queue for FSX native conversion - the XP47H, XP47J, and XP72.

Here are a few captures of the "H" now converted.

Well if Duckie did the skins, they are awesome.

Now was that airplane ever operational in the military? If not, why not?
 
Thanks Milton, due to how straight the edges were I thought it was elsewhere and I had moved the paint "down" far enough fuselage wise. Now I can get this finished. :)
Once I get that area painted I just have to paint the rudder, finish adjusting the alpha, then complete the markings and it will be released. I plan on using the markings for Ugly Duck ATM.

Hi Eric,

Duckie did the skins for the XP47H while Nigel did the skins for the XP47J and XP72.

All of their work is top shelf.

A small run of P-47Ms followed the -47D on the production line, but it is desirable before discussing this to account for the designation gaps.

The XP-47E with pressurised cockpit has been mentioned above, as has the P-47G which was the designation of the Curtiss-built P-47D;

one P-47B was used to test the installation of laminar-flow wings as the XP-47F;

and the XP-47H designation covered two P-47Ds in which new 2,300 hp (1715 kW) Chrysler XIV-2220-1 inline engines were installed to give higher performance, overall length being increased by 3 ft 0 1/4 in (0.92 m) in comparison with the P-47D. This version did not materialise in production form, however, as the Chrysler engine was not put into production.

Far more radical was the XP-47J (no use was made of an I designation) which introduced a closely-cowled fan-cooled R-2800-61 engine rated at 2,100 hp (1 566 kW), and provided with a wing of lighter weight which incorporated six 12.7 mm (0.50 in) machine-guns.
First flown on 26 November 1943, this experimental aircraft was the first piston-engined machine to exceed a speed of 500 mph (805 km/h) in level flight, attaining 504 mph (811 km/h) on 4 August 1944, but despite this sparkling performance production plans were abandoned in favour of an even more advanced project designated XP-72.

The XP-47K has been mentioned above, and the XP-47L resulted from structural changes in a P-47D to provide greater internal fuel capacity.

Hi Milton,

Can I send you the texture? Because I've painted that area and even lower on the fuselage and it is still showing as silver.

I just ran a test painting only that area on the original template red.

See the attached zip for a copy of that template to test with.

The area I'm trying to paint isn't the end of the flap area, it's the horizontal portion next to it that is part of wing root. No matter how far down the fuselage I paint, there's a silver rectangular patch there. In your picture, it would be the little blue patch between the red at the end of the flap housing and the jagged red lines you see bleeding to the right of the patch I'm talking about.

Please do a screenshot closeup of the area in question and high-lite it. Because of the nature of this area with polys facing down, up, and left, it could be in one of 3 places.

Hi Milton,

I've tried the three areas you show to no avail. See the silver patch in the white circle in the attached image. It's exactly the same on both sides of the model.

Thanks, Ken.

Ken,

What model name is this paint for, and what is the date of that Model .mdl file in the folder.

Here's what gmax shows me as to where it is mapped.

I found the problem! It was between the keyboard and the chair.:banghead:

Did you know there is a difference between the top wing texture and the bottom wing texture? One's on the top and the other is on the bottom! Duh!

LOL Everyone has done this ... welcome to the club. :)

I even noted the wrong area in post #51, used a bottom instead of a top. :-/

Perhaps I missed something, but has the XP-47H been released yet ?

Thanks very much for the XP-72 and XP-47J ...

Received the FSX native textures today from Duckie, tested out and ready for upload.

I think I'll have an afternoon nap first, then try top get the package uploaded this evening.

Steve put a lot of extra work into this, much different than the FS9 version paints.
I think you'll love it!

Give me 6 hours or so ...
 
Wow, that's great news. I received better references for my XP-47J texture, so maybe I'll be able to get it completed this week as well. Also, I should take a nap, but I won't and I'll fall asleep early instead. ;)
 
The XP47H is a Beauty Thank You Team Shupe and Duckie's Textures... Sweet

Just a note

I had rolled out the XP72 (FSX model) for a flight and notice something with the dive/speed brakes.
they have the effect on the aircraft but they don't deploy like in the fs9 Model... did not notice it on the release date to mention then.

Thank you for these Wonderful Aircaft
