F6-F aircraft

Hello Yago9...

First off, things like this should be pointed out to Realflight whose product this is. That way, you have a chance at getting it fixed. Gibbage doesn't have the right or the capacity to do so. Though he may have modeled and painted the plane originally, he didn't have anything to do with creating and then selling the package.

Second, Gibbage doesn't work for Aircraft Factory (A2A), he works for Milviz. Neither of us will ever do another model for A2A.

Thirdly, if you paid 40 bucks for the Realflight F6F, someone ripped you off.

Fourth, I will have to take responsibility for this one as it is, in the end, my fault. I am the one who approved the model and the UV's. Not Gibbage. We didn't know at the time that this "mirroring" of UV's would cause this much trouble. It's a standard method of working in 3d as it saves time and effort and it's extremely effecient. Nonetheless, I do hereby apologize to you and all those who had an issue with the mirrored texture.

Fifth and finally, I personally guarantee that this practice has been stopped and will not happen again.

I strongly suggest that you contact support at Realflight and ask them for a fix. I am sure that Dean would be glad to assist you in that.

Me thinks that is one class act post!

I have the plane and enjoy it. I think it too is a class act. Even class acts can have faults. I know I am married to one and she isn't perfect, just almost.

*******************************************************************

In support of the repainters, I think that any developer who doesn't provide a paint kit is hurting themselves. A paint kit allows many more skins, one of which someone may just want enough to buy a copy of the aircraft.

Also, I think today a paint kit is expected by the customer almost as much as a full working VC. It is one of those things that becomes a standard feature over time.

Honestly, your not "entitled" to anything other then flying around an F6F. Paint kits are a bonus, or gift if you will. Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.



First, im not defending the practice. Im just stating that you make it sound like the entire aircraft is mirrored, its not. Second, I dont know what Aircraft Factory does. I dont work for them. But I try to keep things un-mirrored as much as possible. There are limitations to game engines that us artist's need to deal with, and also sometimes we make errors. To blast a very well recieved product like you have just because of a small error is really not cool. Did you try to submit the issue through proper channels first? Or do you just vent on forums when you dont get everything you feel entitled too?

What is wrong with you ? It,s a payware model and I , as a customer I have the right to share my impression on the product I purchased with my money . I already said i love it, it,s a sweet model, an outstanding piece of work ,but you just ignored that part constantly.
I brought this small texture flaw public so it wont become a habbit because it matters to me as a painter.Gibbage thx to you it became a topic that already drifted somewhere else and this thread will be locked for sure if it goes down this path. I can make that screenshot smaller if you want and circle the problem with red also, so you can finaly get it I wasn,t talking about the whole aircraft been mirrored.

I appologise If I associated wrongly this model with Aircrat Factory.

Didn,t want to blow this issue out of proportions ,someone helped a lot on doing so. Thank you for your gracious response. Yes , I wasnt expecting to find an F6 wich needed some extra markings exactly in that spot. Sry my conversion from euro to dollars was wrong, I paid 28.44 and it worth every penny.Such great models don,t deserve any kind of shortcuts ,as I said before. Thx for taking that into consideration.:icon29:
Actualy I did tell Real Flight wich put the blame on the painy kit..When I said it,s not a kit issue I heard the crickets in reasponse.That,s why I posted the issue here.

Yago9,

As much as we would like to help you on this, we can't and, honestly, given that it's now months old, probably will never be fixed. That said, it's only one part of the plane and though I know it bugs you (and maybe others) I think you'll have to live with it. Both Kev and I understand why you're a bit upset and both of us have said that we would not make that mistake again. We're all a bit touchy about the quality of our stuff...

For the A2A thing, no worries, it's just we have real issues with them at this time. (nuff said on that one or it will get yanked)

Thanks for the kudos btw

Jmig, I am learning how to keep calm in the face of adversity... it's hard... but I am getting there.

I didnt started as upset .Later reactions and comments got me close though.I,wasnt expecting for a F6 fix to be honest but I,m hoping not to find same issue on my future purchase regardless of the authors.Thx.
 
I guarantee it. There will be no more mirrored textures anywhere on any of our models.

Once again, please accept my apologies for that one.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled show!
