Bf108 gauge artwork

Wow, Mathias has really an artful hand when it comes to baking textures... those surfaces look incredibly realistic.

Just one suggestion: the "wear and tear" of the instrument board is too subtle IMHO. Dirty it up some more. Our club airplanes look this "factory-fresh" for four weeks at best. :icon_lol:
 
Thanks for the suggestions vora, but no, won't happen.
There's quite a lot of scratches and dirt allready in,
on those screenshots probably somewhat toned down by those parts that did not yet receive weathering.
Believe me, it really comes together once you sit in the plane and throw her around a bit and watch the light playing with the surfaces.

Pretty nice work! And a sweet plane, too!

Got your FW-190 bundle as a christmas competition freebie from Aerosoft and I am really impressed, the sounds, system modelling is great, too, engine just doesn´t get up on every try, and one has to keep the MAP in sight, or it will have a sudden end! And the visual quality is just stunning, too!
 
On request of Oleboy.

As said before; the model is not even near to finished and most of the textures are 'just to give the model some colour'. But I think it gives an idea of what the finished model will look like....

I haven't contributed much to this model. Model by Mathias Pommerien and textures by Alessandro Biaggi. I'm just a humble alpha & beta tester and just made the screenshots

Cheers,

We had a captured Bf 109 at NAS Jacksonville. The workmanship was impeccable, The mounting bolts had a Strassenschmuck on each one of them with a "Dutchman" or another screw intersecting the main bolt as a safety. There were no shortcuts taken even though it was late in the war.
I wish I could remember the placement but it was 66 years ago.
 
Thanks for the shot Huub. If the modeling is as good as the interior, I'll have no choice but to try to buy it. I've had the freeware FS9 Taifun By Guenter Kraemer for a while. I enjoy it but it's very dated.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one get released :)
 
Sold!
Just can't wait. I am really looking forward to fly this beauty.
Thanks for sharing the renders,
Lucas

That's why our ancestors didn't win the war:
Their aircraft simply were too sophisticated... ;)

Kidding aside:
That's a very impressive work of art emerging, Mathias!
The Taifun beyond any doubt is a beautiful and groundbreaking aeroplane, and I had the pleasure to witness this grace flying at several Berlin Air Shows (D-EBEI "Elly Beinhorn" of Lufthansa Stiftung).

Although my FSX install is quite neglected, I might get indulged to add this special one to my ever growing hangar...

Cheers,
Markus.

Actually, there's an interesting parallel here... How much does an F-22 or an F-35 cost? How complex is it to maintain and build? How much does a flanker cost? how complex is IT to maintain and build?

Hmmm, I find it interesting that the Americans have followed the German (a la 1939) method and the Russians have stuck with what they know works...

If I were the Prime Minister of Canada, I would toss the F-35's and buy Su-30MKK's. 1/20th the price per unit, easier to maintain (and build most assuredly) and more than likely, just as deadly... especially if you count numbers as a quality...
 
The ME-108 - looks superb. The FS9 model was a delight - and this looks no different. Just throwing this pic in because Markis alluded to it earlier - and to say you've chosen a lovely subject, and it'll be work waiting for.

Well done, Mathias!

I love the detail you put on the seat and vc textures, Mathias (not to mention the instrument panel) Can't wait to fly the Taifun. The effect is exceptional!
