Areoplane Heaven's FS2004/CFS3 P-47D

Sunday's effort was a go back on all the panel lines to reduce them from a flat 3/16" wide to something in the 1/16" - 1/8" range. (The pixel scaling has some stretch variation depending on the surface being mapped.) This was combined with deepening the bump map depth to match the look of the gaps and panel mismatches I was seeing in typical P-47 photos.

These projects are never really finished, but I've done enough for now...

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 3 American Aircraft

Description: With permission by the owner of Aeroplane Heaven, Bazzar.

This is a reworking by MajorMagee of the AH original package to make it more compatible with AnKor's Shaders, increase the texture resolution, add panel line bump maps, create lights and special effects, and to clean up some of the mapping irregularities.

This stand-alone represents Silver Lady as she was in late 1944 after her modification to add the Malcolm Hood.

The textures included here are the prime example output of my AH_P47D Paint Kit published separately.

Here's an alternative set of loadouts for use in any of the AH P-47D aircraft xdp files.

Thanks Andy. Already modded the XDP file . This would have saved me a bit of time. Also modded the engine smoke. Looked like the engine piston rings were bad ! Hahaha! Regards,Scott
 
Gidday MajorMagee, what a great looking bird. Amazing how a great skin transforms a model. I hope some of the old hands at Aeroplane Heaven are able to see what their model can look like.

In terms of loadouts, one of my pleas is that "Recon" is included as a Missiontype in loadouts. Probably suit a loadout with fuel tanks. Recon was left off early missions because there was an error in the recon spawn files, they missed out a goal and damage percent etc, standard for campaign missions. I've uploaded a fix here at SOH some years ago.
 
I've added more variety to include some rockets, and sorted them by Combat Load Weight, staying within the 2,500lb max limit. At your suggestion I've included appropriate Mission Types for everything.

p.s. Unfortunately the website insists on adding a space in the middle of the word bomber that's not supposed to be there, so be careful with cut and paste.
 
Yes, I pasted it in the editor as Bomber, and it turned it into Bo mber on the web page. When I went back into the editor to fix it, it would already show up as Bomber again! Back to the web page, and it was still Bo mber. I gave up...

I've added more variety to include some rockets, and sorted them by Combat Load Weight, staying within the 2,500lb max limit. At your suggestion I've included appropriate Mission Types for everything.

What a plethora of Missiontypes! :untroubled:

Thanks for adding the much overlooked Recon, Majormagee. Maybe it will inspire me to add more interesting/creative recon spawns. It will be interesting to see which loadout the campaign engine chooses for say, an intercept mission.
 
Have those dl_ prefixed, ie. made from scratch by me and not asked about, pylons been tested to be anywhere near the position they should be?

The belly pylon was specifically created for the stock bubbletop to place the ordnance correctly and the bazooka pylons are actually different on the starboard and port sides because the hardpoints in that model are asymmetrical. If used on a properly made model they'll throw at least one of the tubes' positioning off, probably both. I spent some noticable time researching the positioning of the belly rack and the bazooka tubes, and then some more time making the pylons actually fit, and I'm 100% sure nothing of it applies on the AH model because the hardpoints are different. And it's definitely not my fault even though my name is on them because they've been used incorrectly.

If you want to market fantasy loadouts with British rockets and pylons on a P-47D, I'd very much like to see it done without including my stuff without approval in them.

I should have read your last line there, My apologies!
 
Rene, for clarification for all of us, are you saying that you consider someone referencing a pylon you made in an xdp without actually including the pylon in any download to be unauthorized use of your material?
 
Just to be clear what I published to the Warbirds Library for general consumption did not include any reference to your pylons.

Beyond that, I am truly sorry I assumed that sharing information about the possible customization options with all the various resources we have available to us was harmless.

In the future I will remember that every one of the two dozen enthusiasts we still have left here who actually downloaded it could have easily done it on their own, and don't need or want my input any longer.

As far as I can tell, just referring to a pylon, weapon, or anything else for that matter, in an xdp, xml, or similar file, is not infringing on any upload anyone has made in CFS3. I would take it for granted that anyone making a weapon, pylon, etc., to put in an upload, is expecting people to use it, and sharing their use of it is quite acceptable.

Andy makes great contributions to aircraft xdps through his work on reticles, + clight gauges uvlight placecement, and other refinements to the xdps, so it would be a great pity if he feels that he should stop those contributions.
 
Ah p47d_k4s

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category CFS 3 American Aircraft

Description: With permission by the owner of Aeroplane Heaven, Bazzar.


This is a reworking by MajorMagee of the AH original package to make it more compatible with AnKor's Shaders, increase the texture resolution, add panel line bump maps, create lights and special effects, and to clean up some of the mapping irregularities.


This stand-alone represents P-47D-22-RE s/n 42-26261, flown by Lt. Walter A. grabowski, 511th FS, 405thFG, 9th AF, Zima, Italy, 1944-45 with the Malcolm Hood.

A customized version of my AH_P47D Paint Kit is included to show the locations of some painted surfaces that were not fully defined for Silver Lady. (Some aircraft projects may require that you use layer information from both paint kits.)

To check it out, rate it or add comments, visit AH P47D_K4S
The comments you make there will appear in the posts below.
 
I intentionally made this one with a relatively fresh paint job. Only the forward oil cooler flaps should have the yellow paint, but the model mapping precludes doing that so I chose to color them both rather than not painting them at all.

The paint kit is set up in a way that it would be relatively easy to make the paint look chipped and worn, as seen in some of the available photos for this aircraft, but for now I'll leave that to others.

If you would prefer to not have the antenna wire it would require a hex edit of the m3d to set the value at F78 to 00.
