Wow, nice screenshot here.
The repaint is nice, but there is something missing... it's too clean. The colors are a bit "cartoonish" because of that. Would it be possible for you to "weather" (is that the correct english expression ?) those textures to give them a more realistic, dirty look ? I mean, not "dirty" but just less new, out-of-the-box ?

Daube, this is my repaint of Ltn. Alfred Fleischer's Fokker D.VII. I had a time with the fuselage striping.

It "is" too clean and I have not sent the texture up as yet because I am working on texturing it as Huub has done Stuart's Pfalz's D.IIIs. then it should look more duty-worthy and I shall send the repaint up for FS9 to SOH. The screen was taken in FSX, however, with Preview DX10 checked. However, all reflectivity is lost in DX10 mode for Stuart's planes, not a problems with the D.VII and there is none. :icon_lol:

Thanks for the info Cazzie.
I really have to install those WW1 birds in my FSX. :jump:

Daube,

I got a little work done to the top wing today. These screens are in FS9, because it opens and loads faster for testing. I also made a new propeller texture, how do you like it. A new propwash was made from the new prop.

Notice the difference in the shading and highilighting between the ribs on the upper wing versus the lower wing.

What do you think Huub?

I don't know if it's the consequence of the light or the shadows, but the wings look quite good on the last two shots.
And for the prop texture, this wood looks really good ! I don't remember if the props of those planes were really that dark, though, it seemed to me that their color was a little bit more clear.... but this is maybe due to a special model.

Daube,

I just sent up all new textures for Ltn. Alfred Fleischer with the new prop too. I used a restoration prop for my cut out and paste into, so I am not going to validate anything to its likeness being spot on. It was more a test anyhow to see if it would work, it did rather well I think. But actual photos do show that German laminated props were light and dark. this would make an excellent representation of a French WW I prop, they were quite dark.

In the Fleischer sample, I had to tone down the shadows and highlights on the yellow, they were just too unreal. I am not saying I got it right either, this is all punch and curse ya know. :costumes:

where and when is this available?

[Daube]

The light effects on the last three shots are making this repaint very convincing, it looks good like that. Excellent job Cazzie !:ernae:

Depending on how much football Ickie watches, it should be up today. :icon_lol:
