Milviz WIPs

Can't give you a solid number because it's not finished yet but, in the end, it will be less than 250K for VC and 250K for exterior.

That's about what I wanted to hear. :d


I was curious, because, as a pseudo-modeler I'm interested in the boundaries in terms of polycount for FSX models.
 
There's no limit in polycount, apart from angry customers who can't fly the airplane due to poor FPS. :)
 
Yep... we actually tried maxing out our poly count(s) and got pretty good results. It's not really that much of a difference when you have over 300K or under 100K. The difference comes from textures and draw calls. That's the biggest hit of all on FPS. As well, there are exporting issues when you have more than 65K vertices assigned to one material.

Anyway, suffice to say that it will play nice in FSX... so no worries...

That p38 certainly looks great
i prefer ETO versions also
but thats me
LOL

Are there any paints you're having in mind for the -L version ? And if I remember it correctly, 'Yippee', the 5000th build Lightning, was a -J...it wasn't involved in any part of the war (nor in the ETO, PTO or MTO - if that very last one exists ;-) ?), just as some kind of showcase for Lockheed I guess...

Ah well, with freeware you can do what you want anyways. :d

we're NOT doing that one. Someone else may do it with the paintkit but, I, personally won't do that one. Yuck!

We're doing a J and an L model. One will be a camo job and the other will be NMF.

WIP's of the paint job coming soon.

KC.
 
Finally! A P-38 for FSX!

Count me in as another one who would like to see the "F/G/H" variant, but I'll happily settle for the "J/L". What's the chance of a recon version? Heck, I want them all!
