  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Ha! Last I heard the Dora was being worked on? Tell Ted to stop wasting time on dirty Allied junk and get to work on serious stuff!:biggrin-new: Such brush magic deserves its spotlight!:applause:
 
I see there are some smoothing issues causing excessive shine and incorrect reflections on Stuka (radiator, wings).
Although they are so apparent only when my shaders are used, these are actually errors in the model and I can't do anything in the shader to fix them. Some WOFF aircrafts have them as well.
They happen when smoothing is applied to low poly surface which should not really be smooth. Like if you just draw a low-poly box and force smoothing on it in GMAX.
 
Yeah, I noticed that too. But as far as I can remember, the affected parts don't really lack polys. John will sure give a better answer since he has wireframe textures to check and I no longer have Gmax installed. Bottom line is, unless it's Gmax fault (it has a tendency to screw with normals with boolean operatioins), it's an easy fix!:mixed-smiley-010:

I agree, but going to the dark side is a nice diversion once in a while.
 
A little bit of 190 goodness..

Does the bump mapping bring out the spars in the rag wing Hurry mk 1's wings?
(...or the aft fuselage for that matter?) ...although I guess they don't really BULGE that much (?)

:jump: ?

Yes, sir, just as soon as I figure out some bump mapping issues. There will also be a few other F-86A skins, then later some F-86F skins.
