• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

virtavia B29 big time Operator; a study in metal

ftl818

SOH-CM-2024
Slowly getting there; new spec maps, new layered psd files, new alpha channels. I think the aircraft starts to look like a real B29. Next layer: the boots on wings and tailplane and heat and oil traces on the wings and nacelles.

BTO; almost but never finished.

New spec maps with heat effects in the alpha channels of the wings and nacelles,
All new metal surfaces, part of the fuselage and wings and control surfaces painted instead of bare metal
All new alpha channels
Hints of the not modelled (closed) intercooler doors on top of the nacelles
