http://www.simviation.com/phpupload/uploads/1356320718.jpg

I have just released the Aeromarine 39B at Simviation to day !
This plane have give me more work that expected (specialy whit the animation)
The mission was done and I have made 4 mission, 2 day mission and 1 night mission, the last mission will be a multyplayer mission.
Now I'm attacking the last part of my projet, The USS Langley life boat, Is not so easy to do this little boat, I have no plan just some picture. so if somebody want to help, I will be able to release it more soon.:icon29:

To see this plane in action go here

Mery Chrirtmass and Happy new years !

Excellent! Downloading now:ernae:

[PutPut]

Here is the 39B approaching my version of the CV-1 Langley. This was my FS9 model which I upgraded the textures and fixed a few zits and then compiled with Xtomdl so it is FSX native. I have it loaded in aicarriers. BTW the Aeromarine has a hard time catching up to the Langley on final. This is a well done plane and I look forward to your new Langley.

Lovely looking aircraft:applause: I have an issue with the windscreen in that it is opaque and with a pale blue colour in vc mode.

Yes Some have reported this problem in my email

I have checked my sdk configuration and I'm pretty sure it was compiled whit fsx sp2 acceleration sdk ? is there a way to verify this in FSX I d'ont remember how ?

look very nice :applause::jump: I think I have your static FS9 model somewhere in fs9, Have you made the life boat on your model ?

I find hard to made those life boats :kilroy:

Yeah, now that I realize what I am looking at, I get the same thing. I took a look at the textures and most are DXT1 without alpha which means no transparency. I can't easily find a texture for the windscreens so if it was done in the model the material must have some transparency. Here is what it looks like in FSX Acceleration.

I have aply a flightsimx color (whit no texture) but I have put a setdefault transparency whit src alpha and a invsrcalpha in gmax and all was transparent here whene I have uploaded to simv ? does I need to put also a dx3 texture ?

[Roger]

I searched them for something representing a windshield texture but could find nothing.

[woodylepic]

Ok I have made a dxt3 texture whit a grey texture as alpha and have updated my model
all seem ok here
I will ship to Simviation tomorrow, new version is V2.00 (winchield corrected)

[Roger]

Thanks for that:ernae:

[Roger]

I love the look of these early aircraft:engel016:

Beautifull picture !

I love those 1920 plane to, and that why I have decide to made this one !

Not only there old, but they have some greyt history behind !, and they also fun and challenging to fly !


There a lots of planes that have landed on the Langley in the 20-38 periods

Here somes

<tbody>
1922 : Vought VE-7F, Aeromarine 39-B et Curtiss TS-1.


1924 : Douglas DT-2.



1925 : Boeing FB-2.


1926 : Curtiss F6C-2 et Boeing FB-5.

</tbody>


The next planes I hope to see on the Langley, or Lexington, the Boeing FB-2 and 5, Douglass T2D (whit is Big Liberty engine), Curtiss F6C-2, Vought VE-7F, and also the Big Martin torpedo bomber why not ?.

If some one interested ?

Maybe next years I will made an other legend for the langley ?

[DennyBoy]

Hi

I´m remeber an old movie "Task Force" starring Gary Cooper, abaute the early naval aviator and the first training on carrier. In the movies was real fotage of landings and take off on carrier.

[lazarus]

Missed the Aeromarine! So I'll have to try that out. Looking forward to Langley. Been working up an escort for her...78440
Cheers!

[woodylepic]

For the opaque windows problem, I have uploaded the Aeromarine 39B V2.00 yesterday, I have testing it only from my pc so can somebody confirm that the problem is corrected ? thank you.

For the Langley I'm going slowly, be patient I will release it soon.
Good Flight !

Somebody (like me) interested to made some langley plane it will be interesting to see some new planes, good flight !

[italoc]

Ok I have made a dxt3 texture whit a grey texture as alpha and have updated my model
all seem ok here
I will ship to Simviation tomorrow, new version is V2.00 (winchield corrected)

Hi Woodylepic
I've downloaded your new Version 2.0 but my windshield is still like before: light green color and not transparent at all !!!! :isadizzy:
I would like to attach a screenshot but , I dont know why, I cannot upload it.
Anybody else having same prob ?

Erase all the Aeromarine folder before instaling version 2, Is there a windows.dds in the texture in the news version ?

[Roger]

I still have the opaque windscreen in vc mode only. I deleted the original file as suggested.

[woodylepic]

I.m lost whit this :mix-smi::mix-smi: ?

Take me 6 attemp to get the D... file on Simv last night !

Somebody can explain to me how is mading is transparent windows in fsx acceleration ?

Here what I have do , Made an flightsimx texture in gmax whit "Set Default Transparent" (src alpha and invsrcalpha aply) + a dx3 windows.dds texture whit a grey alpha as difuse map slots for a basic windows is this correct ?

Here all is transparent why is so complicated whit FSX ?

[Roger]

I understand your frustration and it is great that you are trying to fix it and I thank you for that:ernae:

I'm sure that one of the modeller guys will come up with an answer soon. In the meantime thanks for your work!

[woodylepic]

I try reinstalling my FSX acceleration sp2 sdk to be sure is correcly installed ? but mine is corrupt from my fsx acceleration disk and impossible to made a copy, and I can't find this anywhere at microsoft/download or anywhere on google, its availlable only from the disk. somebody can send me the fsx acceleration sp2 sdk so I will be able to verify if my sdk if i get the lates version and made a new update.

my email is polaris3@globetrotter.net thank in advence.

Paul, have you uploaded your FSX Langley at any website?

[PutPut]

Paul, have you uploaded your FSX Langley at any website?

The FS9 version has been available at Flightsim and simviation for a few years. I have not uploaded the FSX version as it is not really complete; I just wanted something historically correct for the Aeromarine. The subject of this thread looks more detailed and probably made from better drawings than I have.

Best, Paul

[TARPSBird]

Paul, thanks for the reply. :salute:

[woodylepic]

I need some one to beta test my model, I'm tire to send it to Simviation for nothing, I just want to be sure its ok before uploading again, somebody up for the jobs ?

Hello,

I have downloaded and installed the v2.0 of your wonderful model. I use frsx/Acceleration and the windshield is opaque in the VC. But view from outside the windshield is transparent. If it is convenient to you, send me the modification to the model you have done to eliminate the opaque windshield. I can beta test your modification.

Bonne journée

Regarding the VC glass problem, it appears you did everything right with the glass on the exterior model. It is appropriately transparent from all directions. Why don't you copy and paste the exterior glass parts into the VC or, at least, give the VC glass the same material and texture parameters?

Best,

Paul

Its exacly the same texture for both exterior and interior, why the interior one is opaque its a big fsx mistake ?

[PutPut]

Its exacly the same texture for both exterior and interior, why the interior one is opaque its a big fsx mistake ?

Is the material (before texturing) the same? I don't use gmax (I still puddle along with FSDSv3.51 and FSXTweak) so I can't look at your source code, but both must adhere to the proper SDK (I use the Acceleration version of Xtomdl to compile). I have used the same material and texture for the exterior and internal model on several projects and never had this problem. There is something strange happening here; I am sure it is not a problem with FSX or other designers would be seeing the same thing.

The problem whit M$ FSX in the incompatibility whit each version (retail sp1,
sp1a, sp2, acceleration, and sp2 acceleration) some have reported that they see
through the windows but its raining in the interior windows other say its
opaque, and other have no trouble ? whit fs9 it was so simple to do a model.
whit FSX you get a lot of incompatibility trouble whit animation, and alpha etc
etc...

[mjrhealth]

In SP2 and acceleration teh Alpha has to be almost dark grey for the window to be clear. Why do they have to change things.

[woodylepic]

USS Langley is finisch at 98%. I will try to send Ship, airplane and mission when problem sorted out.

I have find some guys that try to resolve the problem I have open a dropbox acount and have transfered my gmax model and fsx model in to the dropbox so it can be beta tested, If somebody want to try to recompile the interior model whit Gmax send me a message here I will send the dropbox address where you can test the interior model.

[woodylepic]

Ok I think we have find the problem, We have deleted the windows texture and have add a new fresnell ramp texture whit some alpha setting, All seem ok from here and from my beta tester Craig, if someone want to test the new model send me a private message whit your email and I will send you the beta model, thank for all the help :applause::medals::icon29:.

Dave[/QUOTE

You mean exterior view ? what is spot view ?

[woodylepic]

Ok I have recompiled the exterior model whit the fresnel ramp texture and all ok here I will resent my model to dropbox can you download it again and tel me if all ok now ?

[thefrog]

Sorry, Spot View is one of the Outside/Exterior Views. There's nothing in your Dropbox folder at the moment. I'll try again later.

[Roger]

Same result here. Interior (vc) glass clear, exterior (spot view) glass black. Also drop box reports empty.

[Roger]

The latest version in your drop box shows as the original with exterior (spot view) glass transparent but the interior glass (vc view) is now opaque again.

[lazarus]

Keep chipping away at it, Woody. You'll get itsussed out. She sure looks good, but DANG! the ship just about out runs the old girl!:applause:

[woodylepic]

Ok I think I have solved the windows problem, I have send invitation to all my Beta tester, can you please tel me if all ok now (exterior and interior view for the windows) thank.

[full]

Hey Woody ! all the windows are good now, one small problem I did notice was the Prop_Slow animation on the interior model seems to be missing some key frames or maybe the animation range hasn't been set right ?

[Roger]

Sorry but I'm still getting interior (vc) as opaque with the latest model.

[woodylepic]

Sorry but I'm still getting interior (vc) as opaque with the latest model.


Have you delette the previous model and installed the one of to day and witch version of windows you use ?

For the prop I will check if I can do bether Craig my keyframe for all prop is 0 25 50 75 and 100 and animation tag is 100 all visibility tag are ok.

An other guys have the same VC windows opaque problem.


So I will made a new VC model tomorrow and send you a dropbox invitation thank for the help.




somebody can confirm that the windows is opaque in dx10 or normall display ?

[Roger]

Thanks for all your efforts Woody:applause:

[thefrog]

I can confirm this latest version is ok in exterior but opaque in vc - I'm running in normal not DX10.

[DennyA]

Good news here, Woodie -- latest Dropbox version has transparent windscreens for me both inside and out.

DirectX 10, Windows 8, Nvidia drivers

Then I will have to wait for Lazarus to give us some news of is exiting and

I can't leave the bay whit out my escort !
:salute:



then I will finish the 4 mission and chip to simviation the Langley "thank for
the help guys".

[lazarus]

Its in roughly, her 1941-43 configuration. Fighting Mary was the only US Dreadnought to go through WW.II substantally unaltered from her pre war appearence, only gaining improved fire control, secondary and tertiary batteries, and loosing her aft bird cage mast by 1943. Rough, alpha export, wrap textures, crude mapping- as usual - at this point, but a period escort for now.

Hello,

I have downloaded from simviation the new version of the 39B. Now thw windshield is transparent in VC and in exteroir view. I even have been able to land on an aircraft carier. The slow speed characteristic of the airplane, made this carrier trap easy. The aircraft flew around 60 knots and the ship sail at arout 30 knots.

Thank for shearing with us the aeromarine 39B aircraft model.

FSX AI USS Clemson class fleet Destroyers

The Clemson class was a series of 156 destroyers which served with the United States Navy
from after World War I through World War II. The Clemson-class ships were commissioned
by the United States Navy from 1919 to 1922, built by Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company,
New York Shipbuilding Corporation, William Cramp and Sons, Bethlehem Steel Corporation, Mare Island Naval Shipyard,
Norfolk Naval Shipyard and Bath Iron Works, some quite rapidly. The Clemson class was a minor
redesign of the Wickes class, and was the last pre-World War II class of flush-decker destroyers to be built for
the United States. Until the Fletcher-class destroyer, the Clemsons were the most numerous class of destroyers
commissioned in the United States Navy, and were known colloquially as "four-stackers" or "four-pipers."

Clemson class AVP bgl by Earl Watkins and Wayne Tudor for the wicked Kerama Retto Seadrome scenery. Reduced drawcalls,
cleaned out texture files, added hard deck(why not?)and converted with FSX SDK. Surplus DD's were converted to Seaplane Tenders
and Attack and Commando Transports by removing the forward boiler room and two stacks, the spaces used then for;
what we call today 'the Mission Bay'. So how do we convert the AVD back into a Destroyer? By building a new forward machinery
set out of electronium and welding it into the ships with Bianry inert pixel welding. Or we'll use the AICarriers config.
I Made a pair of Stacks, built the scale and position in, and attached default smoke. The model is set in formation
at the same position as the Up dated Clemson AVD model in the AIcarriers config file (provided). The speed and acceleration constants must be
the same for both models.

Use the provided config file for AICarriers.

Bink.Quick 1919-45 Fleet Destroyer.

I hope Mr. Watkins doesn't mind. I have Emailed him a number of time. I checked the sent messages log. The oldest ones go
back over a year.

BETA version. Update or what ever as required.
For use by Ronald Dandurand as he sees fit, and SOH members for testing ect,ect, usual dire warnings, yadayadayada, have fun.

[woodylepic]

Lazarus I love you !:applause:



DD 186, 244, 251,252, 256,328, 345 all in on package
its exactly what I need

Some DD have the same navy grey texture of my Langley, just need to add
some smoke on the stack and wave at bow,

Are you the author of this ships ?


I got my pulley :monkies:I will be able to release the Langley and mission maybe this
week end.

[lazarus]

79207
79208


Its a Earl Watkins BGL model. I did the easy stuff- forward funnels model and skut work, ect. It not a 100% accurate Clemson for the 1920's, but more than close enough, as they tended to hack stuff off the Clemsons because of excess topweight rather than put stuff on them. I have had the AVD on the HD for ages, and did not clue in; AVD. DD. HEY! There's your Destroyer. Why reinvent the wheel? All the basic Clemson variants are accesable this way, as well. Has every one got any troubles with the AICarriers set up?

[TARPSBird]

While Woody was adjusting the Aeromarine to allow for transparent windscreens in VC view I was flying his first version around San Diego. I noticed the national insignia on the wings were not quite round so I tweaked the "decal" dds file. Here is my version (see attachment), just unzip and drop the dds file into the aircraft's texture folder to overwrite the original. This is a great airplane and I'm really looking forward to flying aboard Woody's Langley.

Did you incorporate the decal fix in your V3? Also I can't seem to get the Maryland to show up in AI Carriers; just the menu. I noticed that that file was pulled, was it
flawed? If you did make it work could you give me a few details on how you made it show in AI carriers. It's a cool looking ship... and thanks!

I will incorporate the decalq fix in the Langley mission, thank for the fix Richoday !

Thank also for your convertion to model of the DD 186 Lazarus, I have add smoke on stack and wave splash at bow, I have not tested the ship as Ai carrier but for the Langley mission all is ok, I will mention you and the author of this ships in my readme.

I will try my best to release the Langley and mission this week end.

[TARPSBird]

Woody, I didn't mention the decal when I noticed it because you were working to fix the VC windscreen transparency and I thought it would seem like I was finding more faults with your plane. When I saw it was an easy fix I just did it for myself, but since everybody likes your plane I decided to upload it with my post for others to use. Sorry I didn't send you a private message.

Woody, I have cleared my entire schedule for Monday so I can play with the USS Langley. Actually I didn't have anything scheduled (I'm retired) but it makes me sound important! :icon_lol: Thank you for all your work, and sorry I didn't send you that decal when I modified it.

Thank TARPSBird anyway I have find some other error on to the Aero 39B :cost1:.

Ok Let the fun begin :ipepsi2::blind::guinness:

Making 3 projets at same time some time is confusing ! I hope there no more error ?

I have loaded the missions package according to instructions. When I try to load a mission, FSX crashes. Anyone else having this problem?

Actually, I can't get the vessel to load correctly in AICarriers nor does it show visually when placing with Bglcomp.:isadizzy::isadizzy:

Here none have reported problem, some have tested the ship and plane and except for the catapult speed to fast, none have reported any problem.:ques:

Does your FSX folder is in conventional c: drive ? if not chek if all file is in good place in fsx.


Btw paul I have try your cesna 120 last years, I love this old cesna model , Do you have made a new version or the one I have loaded was not your model ? I see it in simviation vintage same page of my Aeromarine ?

Does somebody have finaly Rejoining the Langley in mission 2 ?

The day I have try the "famous mission" the weather and visibility was so bad that I have never find the old covered lady :bump:

Here is my aicarriers.cfg entry for the early version of Langley. I used the .exe auto-installer file for the ship, showed up fine in AICarriers first time I selected it...

[formation.14]
title=USS Langley (CV-1)
unit.0=VEH_USS_Langley_1920_CV1, 0, 0

I had all the entries correct so I got smart and looked at the vessel .mdl file with MDLConvertX and got an error message saying the file was corrupt. I redownloaded it from Simviation and now all is good.

Very nice carrier! Thanks for the help TARPSBird.

Best, Paul

Just one thing to verify I have see a video of a catapultage on the langley whit RFN gauge but there no steam on the catapult do you guys see the steam from the catapult ?

All the references I have state the Langley had 2 (later just 1) pneumatic (compressed air) catapults. Steam catapults came much later.
