SkyUnlimited Releases P-38 Lightnings X

No, nobodys being ignored, espicialy the issues being mentioned. I just dont think its right to upload an update which fixes just a single graphic issue, then releaseing another one a couple of weeks later fixeing the rest. I'm doing all the graphic issues mentioned, then fixing the code issues mentioned then hopefully adding a couple of things which didnt make it into the final release instead.

Its alot easier to have 1 or 2 updates which fix a lot of things, rather than haveing 10s of updates which fix 1 or 2 things :engel016:

Nice airplane but for the textures...not that good. And Cerberus, I personally prefer 2 or 3 very good ones, to 12 so and so...not going trough all of them, often. A wrong sales option imho...
Think that inverted star on upper wing MUST be corrected. Think it's a shame to let it pass before going public. How could it happen? Man, if you charge for it, it becomes professional and you're not allowed to sell such a mistake...
A question of Author´s pride. Just not admissible to SU not providing a patch already. Are you intending just to ignore it?
Best regards

+1 on the fewer and finer paint schemes, definitely. Given a decent paintkit the repainters here will churn them out fast enough. As for the mistakes - well yes, one or two clangers, but to err is human! What's impressive is their willingness to accept and address these criticisms without throwing hissy fits like some devs. Still keeping the faith with SU.

Beau I suggest you read the thread,.. theres even screenies of the new paints being posted! :monkies:

Sorry A2A, my opinion and I have to stick to it. A polite, educated comment/critic. Saw a post by Stiz...Know nothing about new textures, found nothing in SkyUnlimited site about patches or upgrades, received no notification from them. Please advise me where they are if posted.Appreciate that. These textures are not their B-17 standard...
And I realy don't know who's going to make new textures? SkyUnlimited ? Some private? (thanks in advance). Do I have to admit, as a customer, that SU sold me an unfinished product hoping someone else will finish it?
And a fact is undeniable, those textures are not a good job, they are not their standard. Jagged antiflare panels lines, no stencils or unreadable, not to mention that upside down star...
Regards

It would seem to me that Stiz is fixing the textures
as he did the originals hence the post from him with the corrected ones
sometimes things slip through the beta testers also
it took me a while to notice the upside down star
i am in no way involved in this project
but how many new creations come out perfect every time
its been a while since i have seen one that has not needed
a fix, and i also believe that it was only noticed in this thread
and immediately was a concern to the SU folks
and they are working on it

Stiz has handled virtually all of the true FSX work on this plane, so if you see a post by him with a fix it is something that will go into an official patch.

As another poster showed the original fs2004 textures still work well, we could have released the planes with those original textures, saved ourselves a lot of time, and the font and star issue would never have slipped in. I’m glad Stiz choose to upgrade them. It was not a condition I set for him when he came on to convert the planes to true FSX. He also chose to do 3D gauges all on his own.

It would have been a lot easier for us to release the planes with those original sound textures, but since he is addressing the issues that slipped by him I think the customers will certainly win in the end with his improved textures.

Clearly there is a language issue here and unsurprisingly as Beaufighter is not a native English speaker.
Stiz is working for Sky Unlimited and has stated that there will be fixes for the issues noted including texture issues. He also has shown unrequested enhancements that will appear in the patch, like the new bump map. If this is unsufficient support for you Beaufighter then I honestly don't know what would satisfy you?
Perhaps a public flogging for all involved?
 
We've been discussing bugs and issues on our message board for several days now. There is a link on the P-38 Page that states "For More Information and Images Click Here" that will take you to the P-38 discussions. However, I've learned a lot more about the issues from soh and this thread, we don't normally get a lot of participation at our home forum, but everyone is welcome to post in our P-38 Bugs and Issues thread.

Hi Roger
Clearly there's no language issue here. Are you patronizing me? As you can see I'm quite fluent in English...sure you may understand me.
And I don´t use public flogging, that remark was unnecessary, not used to it, looks familiar to you.
Just some plain, educated, critic.
And I was not aware of Stitz job position in SU. Thanks for letting me know. Just Cerberus, who is plainly identified.
An yes, I don´t read all the posts. I would have read the ones by Stitz if I knew he is an employe of SU.
And yes, I think it won´t be that difficult to advise customers of any upgrade. After all they have our e-mail adresses. And think they have an automated e-mail sender (is this the name?), at least I knew about P38, by an SU advertising e-mail. So why the fuss about such a simple matter? Do you think this is to much of a request or suggestion?
After all, and knowing now a patch is on the way, I' quite happy with it.
And Roger, let us not waste anymore time on such a small matter
Best Regards

Sorry Stitz, missed some of your posts not knowing you work for SU.
Now I'm quite aware that a patch is on way, I'm not in a hurry...
Just made a remark, same way as others and thought SU was not taking any measures to correc textures and that was puzzling me.
Again, sorry for the trouble
Best regards
 
I've got some good news. I am going to extend the intro price several more days.

I was a bit late getting the news to everyone after the release and then it took some places a day or so to get the news up. A few people needed longer to get paid at the end of the month and Friday is my girlfriends and my two-year anniversary so I have reason to celebrate.

Exactly,... if you had read this forum in which you posted you would have quickly relised that there had been over 1 page of talks on new schemes and what will be in the update...

....PS your orginaly post was actually right below one of Stiz's posts describing his new work on the updates + screenshot of WIP new paints. :kilroy:
 
I already have it, but still: congratulations, Jesse! A nice gesture.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
 
Well, it still is fun to fly:
