Alpha Jet VC

falcon409

SOH-CM-2025
Working on redoing the VC on the outstanding Alpha Jet. It's a WIP right now, but it's getting there. Still have to add shadowing under the Glare Shield and additional details where possible.
 
That looks outstanding, will it be available for FS9 as well ? Mike :salute:
Yes. . .I'm saving the FSX version in DDS, but since the actual layered version is able to be saved in any format, I'll make a set that's 1024x1024 32bit for FS9. The current layered set is 4096x4096.:salute:
 
Ed,

You never cease to amaze me. It's guys like you that keep this hobby interesting for me.

Thanks for your work,

Chris:salute:

That's great news Ed, the Alphajet is a personal favourite steed of mine, any improvements to the FS9 version are welcomed ... Mike :ernae:

One final shot. Just about everything I can do has been done now. Tomorrow, I'll get the final textures saved and zipped up and get it all loaded on the downloads section here.
 
You could try to alpha channel him out, but this might have negative consequences.

Yea, very true. Too bad there isn't just a keystroke that would eliminate him. Ah well, it's a minor thing really, just thought it would be nice to be able to take him out if you wanted to.
 
Because of this being a portover and some liveries are DDS and some 32bit or DXT3, I'll include both. The other factor to consider. . . .I did the original changes at 4096x4096 and I know there are probably some that can't run that size, so I'll include a set that's 1024x1024 as well.

I'm also doing a straight set for FS9 which will be 1024x1024 32bit.:salute:
 
Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to trying this one in formation, I know people have been able to do great things with the current flight model... now it will be bearable to enjoy the aircraft from the VC.
 
Thanks Mike. . .I did finally get it uploaded to the SOH download area a few minutes ago, so hopefully tomorrow it'll be available.:salute:
