Hi All,
Here's the next one in my rebuilding process. I haven't put the "decals" on yet. I might just move some of the Wildcats over from SimV for ease of maintainence. There also will be an Atlantic version for U-Boat hunting.
Thanks,
Bub
 
If you are interested...

I can provide you with a substitute for that Japanese pilot on the Wildcat...
Something I cannot understand.. why no one has ever paid attention to that ubiquitous Asiatic looking pilot in all
CFS2 models!!!
This is just one example of the RAF, USMC, and USARMY pilot heads I have created... (If you click on it, you can download it)
Enclosed, find my take on a USS Princeton Wildcat..

Cheers
 
Gaucho,
It seems a little ironic that the only thing you center in on to find fault with is the pilot, its yours. I got it from the P-47 thread. Maybe he needs a little "plastic surgury".

It is not your fault... you didn't put the pilot there.. I don't think...
I'll check this thread of the P-47... Maybe I didn't replace the pilot on the original texture...
At any rate... let me check to answer properly...
 
Indeed... you are right

The pilot I put there is the right one... how did you use it? Did I send to you the bmp... or
you just copied the jpg and converted it?... I think that maybe the low resolution of the jpg you posted
made it look to me like the old Jap one...
 
Check this out...

I am not trying to find fault with your stuff... just check the thread where Keltie finds faults with my P-51s...
I never took offense and eventually... following through with all the faults it had.. I finally got it right... seeing he had
valid comments... I followed through.. never thinking he was "finding fault" for criticism's sake.. but rather he was helping
me to do a better job... sorry if my comment sounded like "finding fault"...
 
Gaucho,

Lighten up. I was only being a little sarcastic. I actually like the pilot, thats why I used it. I've known Kelti a long time and he points things out in a factual manner. He's not being critical, just being helpful.
I just copied it and converted it. I'll try using the one in this thread and see how it looks as opposed to the last one. If you notice my avatar you may get an idea of how I operate. Agent Provocateur. Sometimes stirring the pot, in a good way, gets results and also its fun. Please, take no offense to my comments, there was none intended.

No problem...

No problem at all... the problem with jpg files is that they deteriorate every time you open them.... and
end up with a moiree pattern...
If you want to use any of my textures... just PM me and I will send originals in bmp or extended bmp...
[btw... extended bmp files ...like jpg... also deteriorate... so I usually keep the original in PSP and
using Wright's DXTBMP program... turn them into brand new extended.. DDS or whatever is needed...

Cheers,
 
Bub,
Keep them coming brother! Thanks for bringing new life into the old sim.

Gaucho, thanks for the pilots!

Danka, Herr Tuefelhund, I've found a bunch of stuff and if people don't get "pissed off" at me, there's more coming.

Gaucho, in looking at one of your last replies, yes I did put the pilot there. Wait for the upload, it will all be clear.

Anyway, here's the next one. It will be a complete package, so you shouldn't have to do anything. Unless you want to. If I get ambitious, I'll throw in a skin package later.

Thanks,
Bub

Yes, I know its the "wrong" pilot, its an old screenshot.

Lovely, Bub!

If the *.mdl is still the same as the FM-2 you uploaded a while ago over at Lindsay's (B.T.W.: is it offline for good? I haven't been able to log in for weeks now....), I can provide updated prop textures and exh effects. This time for real! :redface:

Cheers!
KH :ernae:
 
Kelti,
The mdl. has not changed. The only thing different was the addition of depth charges. And, thanks in advance. The addition of your outstanding props will make the "old girl" much more attractive. I believe Lindsey's site is gone. I thought Tom was going to bring it back. I haven't heard from him in a while. Hope all is well. If you need anything, let me know.
Thanks again,
Bub
 
Here is a nice panel for the Wilcat....

I finished an old project I had left hanging for quite a while... a "photorealistic" panel for the Wildcat...
 
Gaucho,
Looking good. Why don't you upload them. I'm sure they would be appreciated.
Bub
 
I agree too, but....

I agree, those panels should be posted. I especially like the Wildcat

... there's a wee detail in need of correction.

I truly beg everybody's forgiveness for my picking details out of place everytime, but I cannot help pointing out defects where an otherwise impeccable job, as this 2d panel, can be brought to perfection with little effort.

Gaucho, it seems that you are my favourite criticism target lately, but believe me, I am only trying to bring your splendid paintworks to a 100% fool-proof level!

If you look carefully at all the screenshots posted above, you will certainly notice a Wildcat canopy frame doesn't show extra frame bars by the two sides of the windshield. This frame looks more like an Avenger panel, you could actually develop two panels out of one by correcting this for the Wildcat and modify the instrument panel for the Avenger.

BUB:

as promised, please find attached below updated prop textures and a Green Ghost-style exhaust effect for the FM-2.

I take no credit for the original exhaust effect placement, which I guess you did since I found it in the "Mah Baby" pack posted over at Lindsay's old site.

Could you please you help me with the below weird display problem of the FM-2 pilot?

Cheers!
