Ok went back into my account and clicked on my order number and the page with the key came up.Don't know what happened the first time around ,but that page never appeared.

;-)

It was there and I checked: the email was sent as well. You probably spammed it or deleted it by mistake.

As you saw now you can always find your order data within your account in the shop.

Have fun with the Hudson !

Over the last couple of days we now probably 400 plus plus external photos , myself and Adrian Petford using different cameras , Ade with his Cannon SLR and me with a very old Sony Mavica , ideal for very close up details but distance shots .... hmm not so good

Now the job to glue them all together to build a photo real paint of the Wigram Museum Hudson Hanger Queen

fun bird, I like the animated turret in the rear!
One point, it is awfully quiet in the cockpit to my mind, is there any way to crank up the volume in cockpit view?

Jankees, will we see some repaints from you for this aircraft ? Weathered RAF Coastal Command, maybe ? :)

Just one thing with Cocpit lights:

Here are OFF:
View attachment 71009

Here are ON:
View attachment 71010

As You see when lights ON te VC is more darker, only gouges lights (if it will be draker on the outside). Its ok, but model uses darker textures in too same time when in VC cocpith light are ON. Tested on down or sunset.
It will possible to fix it? A little annoying.

This is and FSX glitch, occuring in dawn and dusk.
At night I'm sure it will look OK (can't test that myself at this point :salute: )

Cheers, Rob
 
Merci beaucoup François and Simon,

I love your Hudson and its numerous iterations as well as the animation and droppable weapons and effects...

As usual with a plane that I particularly like, I have added some personal tweaks and would also like to have a go at some repaints.

I was wondering if the mat textures (no reflectivity that I can see on the Netherland Mk.I) are a norm for this aircraft and is it possible to give it some ? How would one go about it as I've tried a few tweaks without any result worth mentioning... ?

Looking forward to any suggestion.

Bonjour Fleurdelys :)

Unfortunately I know nothing about painting..... and Simon never logs onto forums due to a 14 Kbps internet connection..... (yes, really) . Maybe Jan Kees can tell us, or any of the other renown painters present here at SOH ?

During the war unless the aircraft was bare metal the paint was a matt type in order to reduce the shine. Basically the only reflective area was the glass on the cockpit.

If the aircraft is a restored one then the paint is a gloss paint. Gloss paint on the aircraft helps the airflow and reduces drag.

Hope this will help you.

Bonjour Pat,

I agree with you that reason would have it that "mat" should and would have been prevalent on camouflaged planes although I remember reading about some german experten who would have his 109 waxed to reduce drag...

What I'm thinking of is that there is a world between mat and glossy such as satin when you buy paint nowadays and what weathering (dust, rain, wind, etc.) would have produced in the way of a certain patina which would be prevalent after some flight time. Since I'm looking at weathering the plane, I would like a little bit of shine to help me along this line of thought.

Cheers,

Fleurdelys

To add shine when painting an aircraft you need to add an Alpha channel. I use a programme called DXTBMP to do this. You open the aircraft file in this programme I am able to import an Alpha. This is a black and white version of the file you have opened and you can choose the amount of Alpha you want between 1 and 255. 255 is like a matt and 1 is pretty much transparent. Most alphas I use are between 180 and 240.
 
Merci Pat,

I will have a go at the textures and work on the alpha with your numbers from there...

Best regards,

Fleurdelys
