The way in which any aircraft/repaint looks in P3Dv5 can vary greatly, since there is a range provided of lighting/atmospheric options in P3D. If you have HDR lighting and advanced atmospherics turned off in P3Dv5, it still looks very much like FSX. However, with HDR lighting and enhanced atmospherics on in P3Dv5, it looks like a completely different sim. There is just a different level of contrast/colors, all dependent on individual settings, and a different level of power given to the diffuse alpha channels in P3D vs. FS.
Using the same files in both P3Dv5 and FSX, I like the appearance either way.
Here are the Collings Foundation's B-24J & Me-262 in FSX DX10 (unedited, with no shader addons):

This is same exact repaint in P3Dv5 (unedited, and with no shader addons, using P3Dv5's built-in HDR lighting and enhanced atmospherics).
That is the Flight Replicas two-seat Me-262, with a repaint by JensOle available here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=180&linkid=10023
Attached is a copy of the "Fuselage 3.dds" file, for that repaint, which I've modified so that the canopy textures are fully present. Speaking of Collings, I've heard that their second B-17G (ex-Evergreen) is supposed to be getting painted as "Outhouse Mouse".
...or Bob lol. Thanks, tgycgijoes! Not sure about the red rudders on the inside. Hard to tell with old b/w pictures, but it looks exactly the same as the outside. I like them like they are but will change them if someone knows if they weren't that way.
Just a quick question, In all of the photos there isn't any concerning the B-24D and so why? Sure would like a texture for the B-24D of the Hail Columbia, flown by John Kane. thank you
There are some REALLY good photos of the Tulsa American Noseart at the 461st BG Reunion site which has a link in my reply above to check out.Hopefully this isn't too nitpicky, but looking at the photo of Tulsa American, I can see that the red stripes on the US flag in the nose art have become the same shade as the tail (red filter on camera?) but the heavy curved stripe under the "The Tulsa American" is dark. Wouldn't that make it not red? Perhaps blue?
Just curious.

There are no color photos that I know of. Check out the two color plates that I found above and see what they did.I had a look (thanks!) but didn't see any colour photos?
