New Cr1-release is avaialble now!

Just downloaded it, Tom - will install and go for a SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW tour of the English countryside. It already looks like a fun bird to fly! Many thanks!!!:guinness:
 
I am so glad you are back in the fold here Tom. I stay off doing Caz things like cycling. Man, if this is Winter, I sure don't want to see Summer! I did 33 miles today.

Another beauty, she's downloading as I type.

Caz
 
Its a fairly simple model, but a good one for sight seeing and just ploden along. It has a few fun animations in it and it flies not bad.

I am glad you guys are enjoying it.

There are more to come.

Very nice addition to my Vintage collection :salute:
Just a small question: why only "texture" is visible

??? Why all others are purely "transparent", what I have done wrong (sure must be my fault ...) ?
Anyone has suggestions !?!

Hey :)
The textures are either 32 bit or dxt3.
They should work for any standard direct x or glide setting on your 3d card. Unless you are trying to run the Hippo in Fsx, then that will make the plane not have textures. A good way to fix that is to set the textures in dxt1 with out alpha. I hope this works for you

Thanks Tom,:salute:
I am, infact, running FSX+Accel and DX10 and converting the textures to DXT1 did the job :applause::applause:
