Milton Shupe Scores Again

[PutPut]

Here is Milton's XP-47H (heavy metal) zooming along in FSX. Yes, it is a port over with a corrected prop for FSX (included). The sound file for the huge in-line is absolutely wicked!

Best, Paul

My favorite phrase in Flight Sim "Here is Milton's..." quickly followed by "whatever."

It constantly amazes me how much someone can accomplish after retiring for this hobby:adoration:

And Nigel's sound continue to annoy my neighbors. That is a good thing.:untroubled:

[Odie]

Good deal, Milton! Many thanks!

[ncooper]

An excellent aircraft, very many thanks indeed.

For those of us who use FSX Dx10, the side canopy glass is a little dark.
I have attached a fix if required.
If you have this small problem, just unzip the file and copy it into each texture folder,
just like the propeller texture.

Regards,
Nick.

I agree, there are a lot of things on this site that are given to the community as freeware, but the quality is definitely payware. I am continually amazed at the talent here.

There's candy in, in Miltons dish. Don't mind if I do.
Thanks Milton and Team, this one is long awaited. :encouragement:
I'm not sure if it will work in P3D, but you can bet I will find out.

Thanks Nick!
What is also required (assuming you have Dx10 Fixer) is to use the Dx10 toolbox (under the textures drop down) to convert all the 8 bit textures. Then the invisible parts of the u/carriage and canopy in vc view will become visible.

Great to see the shiny metal in Dx10...

Great aircrafts and all flies nicely in FSX.

Thanks Milton et all!

[Milton Shupe]

We appreciate the comments and screenshots, and are gratified that the aircraft work in FSX and P3D to your satisfaction.

I am personally very appreciative of the talents and tremendous efforts of Duckie, Nigel, and Fliger747 who brought these projects to a higher level.

I wish you many hours of pleasure from the XP's. :wavey:

Roger,

Are you in P3D?

I see your outer wheel and brake calipers are missing. Not the case in FSX here.

The brake rotor was an 8-bit texture; you can replace with the attached or convert it to something other than 8-bit to see if that helps.

Hi Milton,
I took the shot before I had converted the 8 bit textures with Steve's Fixer toolbox (in FsX Dx10). It looked so nice I decided to ignore the missing parts. See my own post (which I forgot about) in post #19

Here with Steves Fixer applied...

http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2014/06/10/UTsMr.jpg

[Roger]

Btw the commented out vc light (for P3D 2.2) in the .cfg needs to be commented back in Dx10; then you get a vc light.

[Milton Shupe]

Hmmm... shall we read something into this comment? It's not much of a stretch. :encouragement:

No, nothing to be read into that at all. For the purists out there, converting these XP's to a proper P-47D would require 60-80 hours on the model changes, texture mapping changes, textures, testing, Flight Model, and cockpit changes ... well, you get the picture. It would require a month of dedicated effort for essentially the same product we have for you today. I cannot ask the team to do that here at project completion.

I will, however, gladly share the gmax source with anyone capable who wishes to take it on. :mixed-smiley-010:

EDIT: I did not mean to infer that our product is "payware-like". I see that standard as much higher for FSX and P3D.

[nigel richards]

I have also posted this in the fs 2004 forum, but thought it appropriate to announce here also

9204

Uploaded and available following due proccessing.

Main airframe textures are 2048 x 2048.

The paint kit contains most of the paths, shapes and paint layers used to create the original XP-47J texture variants.

I've included the camo layers, both weathered and factory-fresh, so for those simply wishing to change insignia or reg., the proccess should be straightforward.

We look forward to seeing YOUR creations - Have FUN!

And PLEASE!!!...some more of those AWESOME screenies. :jump:

[odourboy]

Thank you guys! (And also for the tips and bits on running in DX10.) Just installed. Flies like a champ and looks fantastic... and those sounds Mr. Richards! I buzzed the tower then switched to the Tower view for an instant replay with the volume cranked up... Jeepers!!! :applause:

[Milton Shupe]

Wow! Great screen shots dvj :applause: Happy that it is working well for you in DX10.


BTW, anyone having trouble with cold starts of the XP-72, make sure that you have replaced the aircraft.cfg with the one in the FSX Replacement folder.

If you did replace it, and still have issues, you can change the following statement in the aircraft.cfg:

[piston_engine]
power_scalar = 0.9 <<<------ change to 1.0

Sweet shots, dvj!

I'm not at my sim pc till later in the weekend - so can't download yet - but are the prop/glass fixes included, or does one have to do something funky with the 8bit toolbox thingamajiggy?

Can't wait to try this one ...

[Milton Shupe]

glass fix????

He may have been referring to P3D where in one version the glass is a little dark If that's the case, just darkening the alpha channel more should correct that.

In DX10, make sure 8bit is selected in Steve's DX10 Fixer tool box.
the glass fix was a file posted earlier in this thread. Needs to be placed in each texture folder.
Prop fix for FSX comes with the original download, including FSX config file and sound.

BTW, I find the audio for this beast intoxicating.

I added a clean version of the Red Tail to my aircraft.cfg for pursuit purposes......:encouragement:

It's really an awesome looking aircraft! I am glad the team decided not to go with the contra-rotating prop version after all, as this single prop version has a much more pleasing profile.

[Stickshaker]

Hello Milton & Team,<o:p></o:p>
What a gorgeous aircraft! Beautiful cockpit, feels (to me) like a Thunderbolt on steroids, an very nice skins. The only thing I miss is a gunsight. Will you address this in a later version, or Is there a way I can port over a gunsight from another plane to the XP-72? A prototype does not need a gunsight, but it would go well with the operational skins.<o:p></o:p>
Incredible how far piston-engined aircraft could be developed…

[dvj]

Thank YOU Roger!

Man, those screenshots are HOT!

I downloaded this skin. It has none of the reflective polish I see in these shots. Am I missing a texture?

[tommieboy]

.....Glad you like 'Tuskegee',......

It just looks so right on this aircraft, and hauling a** with the new sound set just seals the deal for me with this aircraft......:encouragement:

Also, I was never never never a fan of the razorback P-47s, but the XP-47J just released by the team changed my mind big time. I can't get enough of that one either.

Tommy

[delta_lima]

Had a nice flight this morning - just outstanding. I'm getting some blurries on the chrome paints - but I'm still dialing in the new build, so likely just me.

Milton and team - best project yet. If your Tigercat and/or S-2s get this kind of treatment, that would be outstanding. Landing gear in particular - just spectacular, as is the VC gauge work ... :ernaehrung004:

Many kind thanks,

Well, thank you so much guys for all the kudos. We tried to take this to a higher standard and raise our bar a little and will try to achieve these levels in current and future projects. We invested a lot of time addressing FSX concerns in beta thanks to all the FSX/P3D beta testers who came on board. About 80% of the beta issues were FSX/P3D related so lots invested to give you a better experience.

We will also be upgrading the Harpoon to this level, and the Lodestar, C-57/C-60, and Vega Ventura are already being prepared for same. The F7F-1/3/3N will obviously enjoy the same treatment.

Republic XP-72_paintkit
By Nigel Richards
for the Republic XP-72 by Milton Shupe & team
15/06/2014
-----------------------------------------------------------

Fully layered 2048 x 2048 files for complete access to all model's texture surfaces (includes camo and weathering).
Access the full range of layers - add, subtract or vary all elements - rivets, panels, scratches, highlights, weathering, as well as the actual graphics layers for colours, markings etc.

So get some good reference pics, fire-up Photoshop and enjoy going creative for YOUR Republic XP-72 paint schemes.
And remember; FS is for sharing - and we'd love to see the results of YOUR work.

Have fun!

Nigel

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I have been out of town a few days but happy to be back in Simville. :-)

Yes, Duckie and Nigel, thank you for the great textures, inside and outside.
"Dem boys can paint, can't they??!!!" :-)

And thanks to Fliger747 who has been on this Republic project since its inception back in 2007 along with the late Damian "Windrunner" Radice.
Damian painted the original prototype livery of the "J" model. This project was in honor of all his many contributions to the community and to my projects over the years.

And to Nigel, Duckie and Tom, thank you so much for all the extra time you invested in doing some very different things in this project; it was fun. :-) :applause: :encouragement:
