Fw190A late variants released!
- Thread starter Mathias
- Start date
The exterior textures are all saved in DXT 5.
Interior textures: when there's an alpha channel we use DXT 5, all others are in DXT 1.
Other than that, applying the 2048 max load tweak & having the graphic card's texture settings to at least "quality" should take care of any blurries.

Steven in addition to what Mathias already said. I save the main texture (ch_fw190a5_1_t) without mipmaps and the nose art (ch_fw190_noseart_t) with mipmaps.
Some users complain about blurry textures when the main textures are saved with mipmaps and the noseart pops out when you save this without mipmaps.
Looking forward to your repaint(s),
Huub

The textures for the A5 flown by Uffz. Walter Köhne from Fliegerhorst Deelen in the Netherlands are uploaded both here as on Avsim.com. They will be available as soon as they are approved.
For those who want to fly it with historical tailmarking, alternative textures are included. Please read the included readme file how to make hem visible.

Nice one, Huub!
Nice touch also that the formar checkerboard paint is just vaguely "guessable" through the yellow nose paint.
Hmm, thought I drop in a WIP shot of the up and coming early variants update.
Fw190A-4 cockpit.
"Downgrade" over the late variants:
- Artificial horizon and AFN2 gone south
- turn coordinator back in
- main flight instruments moved around and covered with a plate
- fuel pump indicators in the lower forward panel.

You think it can't get better -- and then it does.
Don't worry, I will. Alessandro just made some new profiles available on his site: http://www.warbirdprofiles.com/hidden.htm, So plenty ideas!
Currently working at this one, so still work in progress: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php?p=334858#post334858

I thought this video might be of some interest when talking about fuel transfer :ernae:

Hub....
I had a look, and found one thing you can improve - the exhaust stains *should* go all the way up and include the top exhaust tube. As it is now, i have the impression that this tube is blocked, and serves no purpose...
also see this pic from the IWM...
BUT, please, if you tell me that my impression is wrong, let me aapologise for my hasty comment...
I find myself longing for a FSX capable pC and a wallet that can support the payware planes that are to come with it so i just pass from time to time and take a look... not to piss on anybody' s work...
Hi 110G, good to see you at this side of the forums as well. I'm not sure fully understand what you are saying to me, but nevertheless I have an answer 
. The panel behind the exhausts, with the eventilation flaps, was often painted black. Sometimes partial and sometimes completely until the hatch over the fuselage mounted guns.
In case of "Uschi" the panel was completely black (see picture from the real "Uschi"). Therefore the black panel continued above the highest exhaust line and therefore the exhaust spray starts lower than the top of of the black panel.
On most pictures the spray marks move downwards, towards the wings quite fast. I have looked very carefully to the excellent pictures Ferry van Orden took from the Flugwerks FW190 A-8N, when it visited Lelystad and tried to copy this. I was amazed to how "greasy" and full of soot particles a carefully flown and well maintained aircraft already looked.
I hope this clarifies a bit,
Cheers,
Huub

Huub, what 110G means is that it looks like there's only smoke coming from the three lower exhausts on your repaint, but not from the top one.
Otherwise a great repaint, one can never have enough 'local' birds!
As you can tell from this photo the replica also has four exhausts on each side, and the black plate behind the exhausts isn't just dirty, but also 'scarred' by the heat! Some of the black paint appears to have burned off already. The amount of dirt on the aircraft is amazing considering it was quite new, with only a display a few weeks before and probably a transfer flight from Germany to France upon delivery. Looks pretty authentic though, and makes a nice change from some of the highly polished warbirds you sometimes see.
I doubt the leaking prop caused this much dirt, as the amount of oil leaking from the prop would have prevented it from even reaching Lelystad, and the leak didn't start until late in the afternoon.
You can see the oil here on the lower prop blade, and a bit on the nose that wasn't there an hour earlier.

That's it.
I didnt know how to put it...
Love that Fw, and am looking forward to the 110... sometime near the end of 2010?
Don't worry I think I did understand you correctly. However in the repaint (at least at my layer "exhaust spray" the top of the spay starts at the point when the top exhaust is. Therefore I tried to explain (in my usual confusing was) this effect is most likely caused by the black panel directly behind the exhausts.
When you look at the other screenie from "Uschi" and on the screenie below, from the repaint I'm currently working on I think you can see. (edit: BTW this repaint is currently in the queue.)
