JF DeHavilland Dove & Devon Released

Yes Dave, I noticed that!
Still, I guess we should not complain as we do not want to be covered by the 'See? Painters getting hot and bothered are their own worst enemy....' syndrome. That has to be one of the most non-value adding comments I have seen on this site.
The painters who have commented on the Dove paintkit / texture mapping have and continue to spend a lot of time and effort producing free additions for the flightsim community and unlike some others, do not merely contribute opinion and criticism.
I have to say that the Dove is a superb model and I will continue to paint it. The paintkit could be more user-friendly but so what - at least there is a paintkit. Other than double texture mapping there has so far been no issue I cannot get around - I have worked with a lot worse paint kits(BTW Bazzar, please do not see this as a challenge when you get to the paintkit for the forthcoming Mosquito! - looks an excellent model once again!).
Note to Aussieman, Dave, Markus and others - do NOT give up on the Dove.

I noticed that too. For those who missed it, Dave responded that the rudder could still have been on the same map as the fin and he's quite right. The material settings are in the mdl:)

You continue to chip away Peter:encouragement: I've moved on to the RA Spit for now. Had the model for years but have only recently downloaded the PK. I'll return to the Dove/Devon at some point but I'm hoping you'll have done all the paints I want by then!!:biggrin-new:

Sorry...I HAVE to respond.
My comment was/is humour...as I too am a painter. I, too have to grumble about idiosyncrasies of 'annoying' model texture mapping.
So far I've also managed to survive creating two High resolution paintkits, correcting per-pixel anomalies....and both essentially from scratch [no paintkit existed].
So please don't include me in 'like some others'.

Fair play Jafo and point taken. I guess the humour in the comment escaped me, perhaps I need to lighten up a bit! With your experience and capabilities it would be great if you could tackle the Dove as well - there are far too many schemes to be done! I also have had to create paintkits from scratch, the Avro Anson being the biggest challenge I came across although the texture mapping of that model is excellent.

regards, Peter W
 
Just a HU, received a email from JustFlight today stating that the new Service Pack software is now available.



Continuing with the Royal Navy Devons, and thanks Bazzar for sorting out the roof aerial issue - much appreciated!

Great work Peter. Will grab this when it hits the library as I like to fly in a region with aircraft registered to that region. Occasionally I do break that rule.
 
Some great paints out for this bird. New service pack is out as well.

I got interrupted by work, but the Apache is almost done.

Hello Dave. Which one's are the new paints? I did not notice any new paints? Or is the "Extra paint" package needed to be re-downloaded too?:dizzy:

Cheers,
Tim.

A mistake in a version of the base pack installer meant that a lucky few customers got access to the livery pack without purchasing it. Unfortunately for the rest of you that has now been fixed :encouragement:
 
Opps! I do have the addon pack anyway as I had pre-ordered the Dove, but hadn't downloaded the updated version.

Well that means by international flight sim law, you have to offer the livery pack for free to everyone else. :encouragement:
