and on the tail, things look a bit strange too occasionally, look at the 'V' and the circle:

Not to mention the totally unrealistic font used for the ID letters on the boom!

Surprised a payware product was released with such sloppy errors.

If Stiz messed up on the Font, he will have to fix it, but that is only 1 Scheme of 16.

Its hard to decide what to do these days. We could create 3 perfect schemes like many developers are starting to do. It would take half of the time it takes to do 16 schemes. We decided instead to provide more bang for the buck, even if one or two schemes have issuses that slip through beta testing it is still a lot more than most developers are doing, and we of course will fix any major issues.

On the real p38s they where like mirors, so the pilot could visualy check if the nose gear was down or not.

Everything being said is being noted down and will be addressed in an update which i'll work to get out asap.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks

Also: Gun tracers show only at dawn, dusk and night for me, but not day.

Plane looses total flight control over 400 mph. At all speeds up to about 400 there is good control. At about 400 controls completely stop. Guess that is supposed to indicate the planes controls become broken at that point.

Which, considering that the real P-38 had a stop speed of 414 mph, is somewhat peculiar.
 
Well I'm very happy with my Lightnings so far! :applause:

16 versions for $18, framerates as good as the default Extra 300, flies and sounds great and customer support seems very good too, looking at this thread!

If you check our message boards I'm already looking into one small issue with the airfile. Jerry's airfiles have been working great for years, but this small issue is brand new to this build and nobody caught it until after release. So if something new has popped up it must have changed between our FSX Port-Over release and Stephens rebuild, hopefully when I find it and fix it the airfiles will return to their original greatness.

These dang aircraft are complex, and I've never had a release where at least a few things slip through.

I realise it's not easy, but something like the roundel being inverted is on nearly all the paints, except for the 1024 ones, as far as I can see (I haven't tried all of them, too many!), and that certainly should have been spotted in testing.
Personally, I prefer a few paints that are really good, rather than a lot that could be better, but that is just me, pixel pusher pur sang. If you provide a paintkit and the model is good, more paints will appear from all directions, just look at the L-39 or the Cub!
I've seen others comment on how good the exterior is, so that just shows you that there is no pleasing everybody.
Still, as I said, fun to fly, great sounds and well worth the money, thanks Jesse!
 
WIP screenshot of the new bump map and tweaked paint, still not to late to change it so to shiny/not enough shine/to bumpy/not bumpy enough etc

i want to get it but i must be doing something wrong. after i put in my c.c. info, it just closes, there's no download or any verification or anything.
i am hoping to take advantage of the sale while there is still time left
 
I'm not a huge P38 fan but I think this is too good to pass up at the price. Plus, from dealing with SU several times before, I have a lot of confidence in their after-sales support - they will get these niggles sorted.
 
Having just bought this today I think the VC quality is excellent as are the sounds, but I do agree the exteriour textures arn't brilliant but the flight dynamics are great, frames are excellent and i'm very happy with my purchase!

Sounds like you might not have downloaded the entire file or it got corrupt. After downloading the file, double click it and the payment system should come up. If it doesn't the check to see if the saved file is the correct download size.

ETA: on second thought send me an email over to admin@skyunlimited.net with your name. I want to be sure you're not buying more than one.
 
matt paints will have more of a satin shine as well, see Ferry's post above for a comparison :engel016:

Textures? So and So....

Nice airplane but for the textures...not that good. And Cerberus, I personally prefer 2 or 3 very good ones, to 12 so and so...not going trough all of them, often. A wrong sales option imho...
Think that inverted star on upper wing MUST be corrected. Think it's a shame to let it pass before going public. How could it happen? Man, if you charge for it, it becomes professional and you're not allowed to sell such a mistake...
A question of Author´s pride. Just not admissible to SU not providing a patch already. Are you intending just to ignore it?
Best regards
