Hi,

I want to show what I did to Duffort's Yak9. It shure could use som new textures and 2D panel after all these years. Admit I spent a few hours to get these detailed textures right.

Frankly, if he had any interest in it at all , I dont think Mr. Duffort would care to waste any energy on this matter 14 years after he made it. Nevertheless.. I'm not going to upload it here at SOH or advertise it on any other official forum anyway.

But of course I dont mind sharing them privately. Those who know me have the "address"...

I believe that Dave can make it work. Bruno isn't at all difficult to deal with unless you piss him off. Having his permission is a big step in the right direction.
 
Amazing beauty!

Splendid repaints for a top notch model, still looking and performing great after 14 years!

Morton's fine artworks are definitely a high tribute to Bruno Duffort's master airplane design skills. I truly hope to be able to download them from The Freeflightsite!
Thank you, Morton!

Great work guys! Suddenly I realised what I was missing. A decent Russian fighter!

Thanks,
Huub
 
Excellent as usual Morton !!!!!


I would like to convert the panel to 1024 x 768 format without those crude black edges of wind screen.
How can I do ????

PS: Fani,
sto per inviarti quello che ho promesso...
 
Kelticheart, that's good.
Lets's hope it stays there. Might open for some more rework of classic oldies.

Say, suddenly occured to me. North Italia, south of Milano.. Me and my wife spent a long weekend in Bergamo in October-November. You know, very cheap flights to this city. Milano too noisy and busy for my taste, but Bergamo was a perfect place for 4 nightsl! Escpecially Citta Alta. In Norway it was 5-6 degrees and rainy at that time, in Bergamo it was 17-19 degrees and sunny. :ernaehrung004:

Morton,
"In Norway it was 5-6 degrees and rainy at that time, in Bergamo it was 17-19 degrees and sunny."

At first glance...until my brain kicked in, I thought you may be nutts....Until I converted from Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Being in South Mississippi even 19 Celsius is a bit to cold for me, 19 Fahrenheit and I would move further south.

Gaucho, if you raise the hand-hold bar we can add the proper gauges underneath it so their upper edges don't appear to be sitting on top of the bar.
 
One little problem...

The disposition of the bezels is exactly where they should be... in order to use this type of bmp background... one must have the proper Russian dials.... WITHOUT... screws, bezels, etc....
just the circular face... (as they are quite faithfully reproduced in the surface detail of the panel I create) I do not use the standard instruments that belong with Hellcats, Corsairs, etc. Those are really meant for a panel without any surface details..
(they are included with the gauge file... but generally quite crudely executed) and indeed, if you use those... they seem to hang in the air ... out of place so to speak...
However, if you fish around... there are many sets of gauges that do not include bezels... they are just circular faces...
or (as I do in my aircraft)... I revise those "WHOLE" gauges and eliminate outside details that are too crude for my taste... sometimes, I make a more realistic gauge bmp... and make the panel without surface details like screws, etc.'
putting a lot of artwork into the gauge bmp itself... In sum... I enjoy tinkering with the art work...
I seek to produce panels that "look more realistic in the sim"... (for my taste) trying to go with photographs or good drawings that do so...
So, in the final analysis, moving the bar would do no justice to the artistic effort put through... and, at any rate, in this case, there are no flight instruments behind the bar... so it would be a lot of work for nothing...
Notice that the original bmp on the panel loaded with the aircraft... the artwork is pretty poor... like a copy, of a copy, of a copy... devoid of the details that make a panel "come alive"...
so the result is "sharp instruments" (in the gauges) surrounded by rather crude artwork... At any rate... it is a matter of one's taste.... I see a panel that looks like that and try to do some "plastic surgery" to make it
look more "realistic" (not really... if one wants realism... there is no substitute for a good sharp photo... lol)

If one uses a program like GauBMP... it is very easy to change "whole" gauges to suit anyone's desires... like eliminate the bezels and the screws...which has no effect in the gau function at all... and can be adapted to any panel...
often times... gauges have Phillips screws... which were not invented until the 1940s... and are supposed to be used on an aircraft of the 30s...etc.
In my FS2004 thread I did some tutuorials on how to change gaude bmps...

Cheers,
G.
