Milton Shupe Scores Again

[stansdds]

I agree with you Sir! And I would love for it to be a high quality payware-like product.

Hmmm... shall we read something into this comment? It's not much of a stretch.

No, nothing to be read into that at all. For the purists out there, converting these XP's to a proper P-47D would require 60-80 hours on the model changes, texture mapping changes, textures, testing, Flight Model, and cockpit changes ... well, you get the picture. It would require a month of dedicated effort for essentially the same product we have for you today. I cannot ask the team to do that here at project completion.

I will, however, gladly share the gmax source with anyone capable who wishes to take it on.

EDIT: I did not mean to infer that our product is "payware-like". I see that standard as much higher for FSX and P3D.

Republic XP-47J Photoshop layered Paintkit uploaded

I have also posted this in the fs 2004 forum, but thought it appropriate to announce here also

View attachment 9204

Uploaded and available following due proccessing.

Main airframe textures are 2048 x 2048.

The paint kit contains most of the paths, shapes and paint layers used to create the original XP-47J texture variants.

I've included the camo layers, both weathered and factory-fresh, so for those simply wishing to change insignia or reg., the proccess should be straightforward.

We look forward to seeing YOUR creations - Have FUN!

And PLEASE!!!...some more of those AWESOME screenies.

Thank you guys! (And also for the tips and bits on running in DX10.) Just installed. Flies like a champ and looks fantastic... and those sounds Mr. Richards! I buzzed the tower then switched to the Tower view for an instant replay with the volume cranked up... Jeepers!!!

Wow! Great screen shots dvj Happy that it is working well for you in DX10.


BTW, anyone having trouble with cold starts of the XP-72, make sure that you have replaced the aircraft.cfg with the one in the FSX Replacement folder.

If you did replace it, and still have issues, you can change the following statement in the aircraft.cfg:

[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 0.9 <<<------ change to 1.0

Sweet shots, dvj!

I'm not at my sim pc till later in the weekend - so can't download yet - but are the prop/glass fixes included, or does one have to do something funky with the 8bit toolbox thingamajiggy?

Can't wait to try this one ...

glass fix????

He may have been referring to P3D where in one version the glass is a little dark If that's the case, just darkening the alpha channel more should correct that.

In DX10, make sure 8bit is selected in Steve's DX10 Fixer tool box.
the glass fix was a file posted earlier in this thread. Needs to be placed in each texture folder.
Prop fix for FSX comes with the original download, including FSX config file and sound.

BTW, I find the audio for this beast intoxicating.

Thanks dvj.......

[tommieboy]

I added a clean version of the Red Tail to my aircraft.cfg for pursuit purposes......

It's really an awesome looking aircraft! I am glad the team decided not to go with the contra-rotating prop version after all, as this single prop version has a much more pleasing profile.

dvj, tommieboy; incredible screenies, Gents!

Glad you like 'Tuskegee', tommieboy.

Hello Milton & Team,<o></o>
What a gorgeous aircraft! Beautiful cockpit, feels (to me) like a Thunderbolt on steroids, an very nice skins. The only thing I miss is a gunsight. Will you address this in a later version, or Is there a way I can port over a gunsight from another plane to the XP-72? A prototype does not need a gunsight, but it would go well with the operational skins.<o></o>
Incredible how far piston-engined aircraft could be developed…

 

[dvj]

Thank YOU Roger!

Man, those screenshots are HOT!

I downloaded this skin. It has none of the reflective polish I see in these shots. Am I missing a texture?
