FSD/Milviz P-38 Preview Screen Shots!

Its really hard to call what Yippee looked like. Doing a google image search, you will get about 12 shades of red/orage on 14 images. Nobody seems to agree on what it really looked like.

Thats were having a paint kit comes in handy ;)
 
Well, it's kind of hard to tell by photos, many of which show varying degrees of red. Maybe the color in the photo if out of whack. Maybe the California sun faded it a bit over time. Maybe the time of day and current lighting conditions affect what the color looks like in a photo. basically, if it's red, it's probably about as close as you're gonna get. More or less... :)

[edit:] What Gibbage said...
 
Na its Japanese sun, she flew over japan in 45 and I swear it wasn't that red it was orangie red if you know what I mean, I swear that one by milvis is wrong!
 
Gibbage, the model looks great. I've been waiting for a good P-38 for a long time. Do you know if there's any option for glass reflection? My only knock from the screenshots I've seen is that from the inside of the cockpit it doesn't look like there's any canopy (aside from the frame). It's too clear if you know what I mean.
 
Like baked in reflection? Right now, no plans. If we get enough request's, it would not be that difficult to do. Also, the baked in reflection on the gauge face's have been toned down a bit.

As for Yippee, I will see about changing it. Its not my skin, but it seems that popular openion has it being more orange then red. Since the release is tomorrow, I dont think any correction will make it in time. We do plan on doing add-on/patches through the products life cycle to keep it fresh.

These are great news.:applause:
 
There is plenty of good news to relay , the modern pit can be added to any model desired by simply changing a couple of entries in the .cfg and your good to go , the paint kit is all ready up on the server and it’s a snap to use because of the way everything is laid out on 2 bitmaps .<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>

If that isn’t enough good news we are also including a bonus to the first Fifty registered SOH forum members who buy the P38 ... a FREE YF 23 Black Widow will be yours for the price of an email with your username here so we can confirm membership , how’s that for fun ?
 
Everything I have ever read about "Yippee" describes the color as "vermilion". And everything I have ever read about vermilion describes it as "orangish red". Just sayin'...

The screen shots look great, Kevin! I can't wait for the release!
 
Yeah thanks guys oragnish red like tomato soup not ketchup red it should look really faided oragie .. you guys know what I mean.. this p38 needs to be perfect not like the SU one, Its had too much time and effort spent for it not to be perfect plus the milviz guys are asking and showing us there opinion which makes a big difference in my book! Good luck and I'm buying it!! :ernae:

This looks awesome - a must have for me, if only because it looks so beautifully modelled and the textures look amazing. A huge 'WELL DONE!!' to all concerned.:ernae::applause:

Will there be a paint kit with all those rivets and stencils on?? Please!!

It's looking really great Kevin! Your thoughts on performance make me uneasy since I refuse to turn down any scenery settings to "accommodate" an addon aircraft, but since there's a demo, I'll definitely be checking it out. :ernae:
 
We have 12 users just waiting in this thread for news of release. LOL !

Make that 13 now:wiggle:
