Hi Folks,
Found this 3D model on the net, ported it over and added ani's, driver and basic VC. Again a bit of fun for sightseeing those Luftwaffe airbases or the desert.....another choice of transport Huub ;)

Early 4x4 'Beetle' used mainly by the Afrika Korp. Those huge balloon tyres were really used, giving good traction in soft sand or mud.

Cheers

Nice shots Huub, the one with the Me323 in the desert is great.

Pips, I laughed out loud seeing your comment, and I'm still laughing now....so true....:costumed-smiley-034

Shessi,

There is something I don't understand about main texture (ColormapGloss1.bmp) as it is not as sharp as at your screenies, I tried to remove the bitmaps using Martin Wrights DTXbmp. However when I save the texture in the same format (16-bits-565) it won't show in the sim anymore. Actually in whatever format I save it the model will only show up without the texture.....

A puzzled Huub
 
Don't forget it's a 2048 x 1024 tex, not 1024 x 1024, so if you've saved it as that it won't show. To test, I've just re-sized it to 1024 x 512 and saved as a DXT3 and it shows fine.

Cheers

Thanks for your quick reply. It must be a DTXbmp, I think, because when I reduce the size like you suggested all is fine. When I save it in 2048x1024 format the file size from the extended file is the same the size in "normal" 24-bits format. So I expect that DTXbmp will simply not save this file size in any extended format. Which is a bit weird as I wasn't able to open the dtx3 format file with MSpaint...............

Still puzzled, but luckily the problem can be by-passed.

Cheers,
Huub
 
That is strange?? Can't see why it doesn't, but no matter, you have a choice now of usable sizes...

Cheers
