Watertown, Wisconsin? I'm retired in Redgranite LOL. Worked in Racine for 22 years.

Will install soon. Thank you Sir ! Regards, Scott

Do you have the last version (1.1.1v)? In the last version the gear effect in formation flight / multiplayer was solved. I see that you have still it on your picture so maybe its not the current version? However I agree LOD is a the weakest part of this model still. Currently, the biggest problem is the Malcolm canopy mirror, which is almost always visible on the every top of windshield, also (I have set up LOD on 200, so the biggest and the problems are still, normally I have on the 130% level) is formation view some part of the oters models are still not present (from the pilot perspective). Also the "old" back of Razorback is still present on second LOD so you can notice jumping top back of P-47 (forming into another).

Oh Yeah ! Great news. Love all your work. Thank you so much. Looking forward to the release . Going to be a great year for us CFS3 Fans ! Regards, Scott

Thanks Andy. Forgot about those. Much appreciated. Regards,Scott

I don't own this aircraft (and now I'm starting to question whether I'll even buy it at all) and I'm not attempting to repaint it, but from what little I know about both modelling and UV unwrapping the paint kit shows this to be a relatively poorly made model (no matter how beautiful it may seem to our eyes when viewed in the sim). The projected mesh shows a mix of quads and tris. There appears to have been no attempt to re-topologize to clean this up. It also seems like they could/should be using a different (easier to use) projection when UV unwrapping. I wonder whether they've used the "relax" function in the unwrapping too much? Even if this is marketed as a relatively simple addon with limited functionality (and sold at ~$20) I'd still expect better of the topology and unwrapping...

I was hoping someone would do that one Zolt... Thank you. Look forward to it being available.... Whoops....is available of to grab it. Matt

Fnerg: I have the FSX photoshop files for the Golden Hawks livery. This may be helpful, if you want to do corrections to the Shrike model. The Hawk banner was re-drawed in Adobe illustrator. I can make those files available to you if you're interested. Back in 2012, I made most of the FSX F-86 liveries while working with Milviz. Searching my archieves, I found many of the layered files.

"The file library is our biggest concern. We need a team of volunteers to help migrate to the new server just like we did over some 10 years ago. I would hope we could get volunteers from each of our forum sections. The key thing about the resource section on the new software is it is almost just like creating a forum post. I rather like the look of it." So we have to manual download and reupload the whole Library?

There’s a sticky thread above on modelling to cross-sections which explains the process, although I’ll just highlight that it’s a bit above beginner level. You’re also trying to create the whole fuselage in one go, but I strongly recommend doing it one side first, then using a mirror modifier to make the other side. That way the fuselage ends up symmetrical. There’s lots to learn, but lots of tutorials too.

Using lines, arcs, and shape I created very close replicas of the bulkheads of my 3 view. I reordered the vertices so the numbering is in the same direction. Each bulk head has different numbers of points so my cross section looks crazy. Clearly I need to simplify the number of vertices or something... how do I do that?

I would like to drop in my own RCAF silver leaf roundel instead, mine is made with love. I would like to try and do something about the hawk banner. The beak and head, are too wide which causes the taper to be thick. If you get the taper right, the top white line should run even with the top of the spoiler door frame. In the images, you can see the comparisons between the model, and real photos. I would change the font to the correct stenciled font, resize correctly, and line up the letters in a straight line, if possible. After that, correct the proportions of the tail markings, add a nice white letter stencil on the side of the antiglare perhaps, and tweak the COMP for more gloss, and chrome on the leading edge of the wings. It's a good model, I do love it. Bugger to land,...

Hello, Stoney .... please check your personnal messages boxe ! Regards.

Hello Dimus, Quick question, the paintkit has been out for almost a week and I have only seen one or two repaints from all the skilled painters out there, and I was wondering why? Maybe I don't know where to look? Do you know where I can find new repaints of this awesome F-86? I am trying to learn how to use the released paintkit, but it's a steep learning curve. I did figure out how to make the radar nose black on aircraft 165, but that's about it. I uploaded the file to flightsim.to Thanks, Ed
