Oberpfaffenhofen light show

[Bjoern]

After the primary lights (see link at the bottom of this post), the secondary lights are done now.


Daytime - a weak ground splash and a weakly illuminated lamp (probably invisible due to the white livery):

Dusk with rain - in areas with high humidity (rain, clouds) the light beams will become visible:

All modeled in Max. What modeled lights are saving in textures (and materials), they're more than making up in the XML department.
Oh well, it was worth it.



P.S:
Did you know that using Windows Vista/7 and/or the Shader 3.0 mod lets you enable aircraft ground shadows again without making portover traffic disppear?
I found that out during my last FSX tweaking session. Pretty cool to have the shadows back.

That looks impressive!

That looks impressive!

Indeed!

Nice work Björn, the result shows your addiction to the aircraft!

Jeez,Bjoern........you're good at this! Just think how impressive a native fsx DC-8 would look too, when you put your mind/aircraft building skills to it .....WE NEED a native DC-8 in FSX!!

;P :d

Bjoern - I have a soft spot in my heart for the 328 (and 228 and 728 for that matter). I worked for Fairchild Dornier until bankruptcy caused by fall out from 09/11/2001. Where can I find that 328? TIA.

Nice work Björn, the result shows your addiction to the aircraft!

If I was addicted, I would work on it 24/7.

It's just a healthy relationship. She's okay with me cheating on her with other activities. Makes the time we spend together all the more intense.




.....WE NEED a native DC-8 in FSX!!

Frak off!


;)



(Yes, a DC-8 is on the list. But what makes you think that it'll be of the same quality?)

D:\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Dornier 328-130

Since your next question would be about a release date, let me tell you in advance that I have no idea when I'll be in the mood to throw it out.


However, I think we can work something out if you tell me how close you were to the "three two maintenance nightmare" at work.

I still could use some cockpit photos that you can't find on the internet. I have seen all of the panel shots, but I've never seen details like the back of the cockpit or the area behind the overhead, or the rudder pedals.
If you have photos from work or know a former colleague who photographed around the planes, fix me up with those pics and you'll be granted "contributor" status basically earning you my gratitude and the plane in the current state. :)

I'm sure that it'll even manage to surpass the quality of the Dornier. I have the utmost faith in you as an FSX aircraft developer!!!!!! :) ;) :bump:
