Really nice thank you sir

Hello Folks
Thank you Guys for your good words and your support.
I'm working on the next one, not a conversion but a completely new one

Stay a lot of work, but I believe one can already recognise her

One of the problems I meet is with the vertice account, what will necessary have to be negleted, it's a nightmare...

So it won't be for to-morrow, you can easily understand it

Cheers
Martin

The RE 8, 'Harry Tate'.

I run into the same issue using both FSDS2.4 and FSDS3.5 Martin. There seems to be an absolute limit on the total vertices before the compilation fails to actually build the model (or the game will not process the compiled model) Either way, the model will then not appear in the game.

 

[arfyhun]

Excellent A/c. Thank you, luvvit!

 

[Shessi]

Gents,
Yes, compilation isn't just about the 65,000 poly limit. I've found that sometimes having too many parts or materials or excess vertices can stop compilation of a model. There's no exact verticy limit, unlike polys, but I've found that if you break a part into several smaller parts, and although the same overall model verticy count, it's how many verticies are in one part that can stop compilation.....FSDS 2.24 is more forgiving than 3/3.5...but no exact rules!

BTW Nice work K and CK.

And I take it this is an R.A.F. B.E. 2c?

Cheers

I believe I'll go my way, detailing the engine and setting up removable cowlings, and I'll see if I have problems on compilation, it will be time then to give up removable cowlings and delete the invisible parts.

It will be a Re8, but she was not far from late productions Be2c "Fokker fodders".

Cheers
Martin

 

[Klein]

Some picts for the Re8 in progress, it will be a Daimler built fitted now with her cowlings

The engine is nearly complete, let's see if I'll have vertices enough at the end for the spark plug wires and the manifold.

We'll have to wait a bit to see it finished

Best regards
Martin

Hello Martin,
Very nicely detailed and precise work indeed!
Looks like it´s going very well too.
Thank you very much for your efforts!

Some news from Harry, the external model goes forward, but a lot stay to do, Harry tate made its first sortie.



Badly a shell smashed off the cabane struts over the trenches, but she succeded to come back to the hangar.



So, the things are going slowly, but surely

Cheers
Martin

 

[Klein]

Harry Tate flies now with its full armament, some picts during a sortie over St Pol






Still all the VC to do, and a set of gauges to have it finished, the model uses actualy nearly 40.000 vertices, MakeModel keep on to compile it for now, let's see how long...

Best Regards
Martin

 

[Ravenna]

Lovely work Martin. A very reliable mount, and easy to land, but I wouldn't want to take evasive action in her. Love the livery!

 

[Klein]

Thanks Ravenna for your good words, I'm glad you enloy the Harry Tate.
The Re8 wasn't the plane that would have win the first price for beauty, and she had some reputation to be a "Fokker Fodder", but she was involved in lots of reliable tasks that drove her into the legend, I built as a child the venerable Airfix kit and it stayed since in my imagination.

Cheers
Martin

 

[Klein]

Some news from Harry Tate, the external model is complete, and the virtual cockpit in progress





Great thanks to Stephan Scholz for the lovely screenshots





Soon
