What a surprise, thanks to all involved

So grateful that Mr. Jesse has allowed these to be shared free with the CFS3 community. Now it's just not just us "old timers" that gets to enjoy them. Lol !

 

[Flamingskull5000]

I need a Mig, thanks to Jesse and Clive for making this happen!

Perfect candidates for some Gigapixel AI enlargement. Thanks!

If you're going to do it I'll hold off if you are going to upload later.

 

[MajorMagee]

I wasn't planning on uploading them...

The textures are very good as they are James. Don't hold off, you're missing a treat!

Well I just was talking about making dds 2048, which I have done. Is there a dynamic reticles that fits? How about upgrading the effects in the xdp file as in ETO versions? Please understand, this is NOT a criticism of these models, which are a great addition, merely possible upgrades.

 

[MajorMagee]

I can look at doing the dynamic reticles on the weekend.

Thanks Andy.
Looking only at the Hurricanes now. Using Gigapixel, I doubles the resolution of the shared textures and was getting flickering of some gauges unless I zoomed in close. I reverted to the old resolutions and get the same. Anyone else experiencing this effect?

The Hurricane models, skins and cockpits are lovely and will be a great addition to Bob era missions. I'll have to edit existing missions to make use of these. Thanks Clive.

No flickering of gauge textures here James. Did you completely remove your new resolution textures from your install? Double textures in an install, in a backup folder for instance, can cause weird issues.

Great stuff! Very kind of Jesse to make them freeware!

The existing Hurricane external model that we have, by Patrick Didier, was too narrow. It made it very difficult to get all of the gauges and controls into the cockpit. The SU model is spot on in this regard. It's a shame it doesn't have the rear view mirror though.
