What I would say, CFS3-ers really need some good/better prop texs, IMHO, I think it slightly detracts from the overall, as it's about the only thing that's not too realistic.....

You mean like this?

We tried to imitate the prop as it appears to the naked eye as opposed to in pictures and video. The Mk.IIA model in John's pics doesn't have the updated prop yet.
 
There ya go G!

Very nice, much much better.

Totally agree with you about what people think they should see in the sims, unfortunately using frame frozen photos or art work as reference, and not real life. I appreciate all the sim's have their limits, but personally, less is more when it comes to prop discs.

With MM's dawn patrol pic, just the hint of prop tip yellow (older model I know), and your new model prop disc md3/tex, are far more realistic. :applause:

All those Spit shots look terric, the coast is great, had no idea of the training colours used and yep that prop is like the real thing..no polygons at all. Much thanks.
 
I've been playing around with some heavy weather textures, probably way over the top, the aircraft would have more than likely not lasted long enough, or not been allowed to get this bad bad, but it can be toned down!

That poor Spitfire! I wonder if some didn't end up looking like that after an extended career with an OTU? And those exhausts look really good BTW.
 
With aircraft this good, that crappy pilot model in the cockpit is really starting to hurt my eyes!

(And it's weird because the pilot textures themselves don't seem too bad. I once tried to alter one of the pilots that came with the CFS3 gamepack but my modeling skills still aren't up to organical stuff. Any takers?)
 
I agree Joost CFS3 has been crying out for a good pilot model for a long time, the one in the shots is Clive's effort, which is very good compared to stock, it's the only pilot I use now because at least he has the oxy mask modelled. It's always narked me why a combat sim had pilots without oxy masks!

I don't know Dan, it's possible?

Lol yea Andy it does look like it's been dug up from somewhere!
 
Possible to make a new pilot model? No idea. I assume the reason nobody has done it is that the sdk didn't give any info on how to set one up. I guess you could try digging through one of the m3ds with a hex editor looking for part names to use in a new model to get the guy animated, but I don't know beyond that. I agree, the stock pilot models could certainly use an overhaul were it possible.
 
That poor German pilot John, how about flying a bit higher up into the real thin air,lol Geez, you Brits are hard on German pilots:biggrin-new:
