Glad to see that you're working on the VC textures presently Falcon.

I started weathering a bit the outside... :kilroy:
Did I mention that I like my warplanes to be a wee bit more weathered ? :icon_lol:

Maybe we can make a difference when the two get together... :running:
 
Here's another shot with additional updates. I refined a lot of the smaller parts in the cockpit (still have some to go). Changed the cockpit interior to something along the lines of OD Green. Darkened the gauge panel (it was too light once I changed the interior color). Not a whole lot left to do really. I have a few things left on the exterior, but no weathering. I'm just the opposite of you Fleurdelys, I go more for the factory fresh look, lol. I'm using a paint kit I did for it some time ago so the textures are much larger and more defined.

Fleurdys / Falcon409,

I have had this aircraft for years, converted her, and use her in CFS2. I would love nothing more than to have some weathered, perhaps even combat skins for her. I support your work 100%, but will these updates just be for FSX, or for FS9?

To fix the pilot issue...I simply painted out the pilot so that he appears "invisible," and then added Martin Wright's RAF pilot to my .dp file, positioning him jjuusstt right....

Really nice work Ed, it's a shame the Captainsim Yak doesn't work too, I'll be reinstalling this asap!

Thanks Pete. As soon as I have everything complete I'll upload it to the SOH files.

Rami, where portovers are concerned, I very rarely stray from the normal bmp textures, so what I do for FSX is easily transferable to FS9. The textures are larger (mainly just the exterior), but that can be reduced to work in FS9.
 
Hey Falcon,

Any chance of getting that windo and prop with the "monor alpha correction"?

Thanks,
LouP

Your work is outstanding Falcon and I believe that your "factory fresh" look is probably the best bet with this lady... :kilroy:
I've hit some snags with my "weathering" and will have to call it quits due to the way that some parts have had their textures applied. It won't probably show if you stick to a clean setup though.

I'm including a pic of the flaps which is one case in particular where the textures have been either stretched (flap interior_not shown) and applied differently on the exterior...

Looking forward to your finished endeavour.

Fleurdelys
