Italian Warbirds?

Just downloaded, but not installed, the new Quai-D'Attomo's Macchi C205 Veltro......

At the suggestion of Mikezola I swapped out the aircraft.cfg and .air files with that of the 1% 1s4g version, which much improved the performance; sound is aliased to the Flight Replicas Bf 109K (presumably there are other alternatives out there) and this is now turning into quite a nice model. It does need new textures, so hopefully Manuele will be able to work his magic and produce some stunning schemes for us! :salute:

Hi Friends,
I installed the Quai-D'Attomo's Macchi 205V, the general lines of the plane are correct, BUT UNFORTUNATELY (like ALL their aircraft) the surface "shining" is completely unreal, the texturing and the quality of the textures are "really" poor......
I'm trying to make a "paintkit" remaking almost completely the base textures of the external model, it's really a veeery hard work, the authors have applied in a strange way the texturing, the actual paneling is wrong and out of register, I think some errors are very hard or impossible to fix.....

For those who did download Ignacio's G-55 and want to use this with my textures; There are two version of Ignacio's G-55 one available here (uploaded by me with Ignacio's permission) and there is an other version at Simviation. The one here at Sim-Outhouse is the most complete version, including a VC. However my textures were done for the version at Simviation.

Although my textures fit without problem on both versions, there is some renaming of the textures required when you use the version available here.

Hello Huub, I can not locate the G-55 here at the Outhouse. Would you direct me to it?
Thanks,
John
 
Hello-
I think I see what Manuele is talking about regarding paneling issues... as an experiment, I'm in the middle of adapting some textures from the CFS2 1IT Mc205 to this model- in general, it's kinda working (I am by NO means a skinning expert), but I'm seeing some glitches happen relating to what I think you call 'texture mapping'- isn't that essentially where you instruct the model to look for its texture on any given bitmap?
I hope something can be worked out regarding repainting this model... All told, I'm still glad to see it available for FS9.... -Mike Z.

Mike, check out this thread to see the brilliant start Manuele has made; Falcon409 had made a creditable start on improving the basic schemes, but Manuele has to be the acknowleded expert in this field. I am in awe of what both of them achieved, as my own attempts to fabricate my own paintkits for other aircraft have been less than successful to date.
 
Thanks, Andy- I just read the other thread- It looks like the cavalry has arrived in the nick of time, eh?

As Clint Eastwood said in Heartbreak Ridge- 'Improvise, adapt, overcome'... My thanks to all those involved in making this plane as sweet as it can be... -Mike Z.

I have installed Ignacio's G-55 form the SOH library (thanks to Ferry v0) and your RA textures. What must be done to make the new textures work?
 
John, I completely missed you question, sorry for that. It has been white a while back so I don't know the correct file names. But there was a difference between the file names of the textures for the incomplete version which was available at Simviation and the complete version (with panel and VC) available here.
(I assume you are familiar with the normal process of adding extra textures). The model name in he aircraft.cfg file might not be correct as well. As I did my first repaint for the version available at SImviation there might be problem there.

Hope you will succeed in instaling the model with textures, if not, just give a shout and I will send you what is on my hard disk.

Cheers,
Huub
 
Hello Huub, thanks for responding. The full version shows up in the sim under "unspecified". I have your Regia texture installed and in line on the aircraft.cfg but it's a no-show in the sim as expected. The original texture set has two additional .bmp files. Both are individual aircraft markings such as wing numbers, unit badges and pilot names.
The best I have been able to get by experimenting is to disable the Argentine texture and rename "ra" as "texture". The ra texture shows up but there are blank areas where the Argentine unit badges, numbers, etc. were located in the original texture. I tried several other "renames" but no success. I appreciate any help.

John
 
When you PM me your e-mail address I will send the version I have installed, complete with all textures.

Cheers,
Huub

Hello, Solobo! It's looking very nice!

Hello Mike:salute: ! Well, it's not my skin, it is one of two very nice skins by Alessandro Mascardi, 2005.
I don't remember where I downloaded them... this one looks nice...

I'm Especially working on lights and effects, flight dynamics, prop effect, minipanel and sounds...

I'm also trying to adapt one or two beautiful skins from IL-2.. houps, crazy work, not sure...
 
The textures by Alessandro Mascardi can be found on simviation. Just do a seauch on his name.

Cheers,
Huub

Hello Huub, Thank's, I sended them to Mike a few minutes ago...

Where did you get your skins for the g55 ? I like them...
 
Solobo,

These textures were among the first textures I ever did for cfs/FS. You can find them here in the library archive.

As there are several versions from Ignacio's G-55 you might have to rename the the textures.

Cheers,
Huub

Sky Unlimited's Reggiane R2005 Sagittario is another very nice Italian fighter.
Developed around the same time as the Macci MC205V using the same DB605 engine.

http://skyunlimited.net/re2005.htm

Jessie and the boys did a great job on this one.
Fly's beautifully and certainly looks the part.
Very reasonable price as well.

Hi David ! Indeed, I discovered yesterday this Sky unlimited aircraft...
Nice Italian aircraft, and awesome 3d model ! Very good quality...

As many blade fighters on FS9, the flight dynamics is not realistic for take off and landing,
and after some corrections, it is a real pleasure to fly with it... very aerobatic...

Take off and landing... the problems come often from contact_points and repartition of height...
and in many times the force feedback effects are to hard... easy to fix that to...
and some minor fixes about effects and panels... I repete, as many blade fighters...
deshining a little the MDL for this fantastic Sagittario...
But this Reggiane Sagittario is a pure racer... as also the G55... Veloce, forza Italia... as well !

I'm re-discovering the Italian blade fighters, and it is a real pleasure...
