Somebody from Chicago is gonna chime in about that. Nice work Shessi, thanks. :salute::salute:

darken your shadows a touch more, it really brings out the depth ;) but fantastic work, glad to know i'm not the only Profile artist here :salute: one of these days i'll do a livestream as i start a profile, could be a long livestream as i'm known to spend a hundred or more hours just tinkering before adding the details... whoops! :)

You got me inspired with the Dragon Rapide!

In short open the texture file in Martin Wright's DTX1 bitmap manipulator and export the alpha channel as a bmp file. Darken this bmp file in a photo editing program and import it again in the original bitmap. Make back-ups and adjust the shade of the bmp file until you are satisfied. A trick of 5 minutes, not more when you are familiar with the process. It might need a bit longer when you need to learn the process (but make sure to make back-ups!). Martin Wrights Graphic tools can be found here: http://www.mwgfx.co.uk/ (you will need DTXbmp). Good luck, Huub

Tobob, I tried doing that, and I'm back to everything else being okay, except Darrell Island. Weird. :isadizzy:

Looks like this thread has served it's purpose. All future inquiries can be referred directly to the Milviz support forum. Over and Out.

I don't believe it. That doesn't even look like the Enterprise. It's clearly a Klingon D-7 battle cruiser. Wonder what they're doing here...

Typhoon, Shouldn't that be "indianer?" :icon_lol:

I'm glad the BananaBob prop is already an improvement. Darkening the alphas will reduce the problem further, but doesn't fully solve it. Huub

Does look good. I did smile, and then reminded myself that this is CFS2! It still amazes me what we can do to and with CFS2.... Great work fellas! :applause: Rami, you're on a roll at the moment, so many good sceneries. Shessi

You might be thinking of the FS9 model. Tom threatened to do an FM it as it was hot in his opinion but he never got around to doing it.

Worthless, Did you read carefully the part about replacing the original La Rochelle building.dp files? I had to correct a couple of the .dp files in order to get the scenery to work. I fixed the .dp files and re-uploaded the La Rochelle package on June 15th, 2013. If you did not update those files, CFS2 is locking up because those .dp files are flawed and are not generating the .cdp files. You need to overwrite the original .dp files for the La Rochelle scenery with the updated ones in the package, and make sure to delete your filelist.dat and .cdp files, allowing them to regenerate. That should fix your issues, my friend.

Fibber, Thanks for the feedback. I'll look through Pen32Win's coastal defense packages and find some appropriate AA positions. I do have plenty of AA stations already though, not to worry!

Sorry, but I can't find it either...

I have seen your request, but I have nearly all native FSX Warbirdsim P-51s installed so there is no real reason for me to install Wozza's FS9 P-51 in FSX. As most of our members live on the other side of the pond (at least for me), most of our members haven't seen your request yet. So I suggest to wait for at least 12 more hours to see whether there is somebody able to help you. If not I will install Wozza's Stang (tomorrow) and do an attempt to create something. Remember; patience is a virtue....... and help is something which is offered, but there is is no right to demand it. Cheers, Huub

In weightlessness it is difficult to move heavy things. The force to start the movement will be equally large on your body. When you want to stop the movement you will have to apply force again which will also make your body move. That's why the Belgian and Dutch have developed a sort of camera tri-pod which can be mounted in the cupola from the International Space Station. In the place where I work we have a clean room in which all items which will be introduced in the European part from ISS will have a fit and compatibility check, before they are moved to ISS. When I was in this cleanroom in December last year I discovered the tri-pod which will be mounted in the cupola to support the cameras. With some imagination you see the shape of a half cupola with the bracket mounted. There is no camera on the bracket. I assume this item has been taken to ISS by the European astronaut Luca Parmitano last May. So you can expect better quality pictures due to some Belgian and Dutch engineering.... Cheers, Huub

In that case: I hope you can live with a few missing cylinders in the engine model.... :kilroy: The default flight model isn't great but Fliger747 (I think) did a new flightmodel for it and that should still be available in the library.

Shessi, Outstanding work! If you pull the string on his back, does he say "Achtung, Spitfires!"? :icon_lol:

Nicely done Pat! You really need to clean that instrument panel. Maybe even paint it. The grime, dust and chippies are really building up. :S

I might add to blow out the dust with a compressed air container. This should be done on a regular basis. Heat is number one for computer trouble and damage.

When it happens independent of where and what you are flying, the answer is yes..... It might also be a cooling/heat problem. You could try whether it improves when you take a cover from your PC.

Simply great stuff. The P-40 Lulu Belle reminded me it won't be long for Mike upcoming P-40N. Thanks for sharing.

Fibber, I took a stab at making the breakwater much tighter, but I will not be able to post any pics until I return home. Update: Fibber, how is this? I can make it even tighter if need be.

Yeah, he has a lot of toys for sure.

Kelti, Thank you so much for these, and yes, we both can't stay away from tinkering for very long at all!

Ok I get the hint...I'm doing it...NOW!..ha ha...;) Very nice pack there KH, they look very good with the new bits and pieces, thanks. :ernae: Shessi

There was an Anson flying here last week, but it's based in England. ;)

Wonderful aircraft, beautiful shots! :applause: The Glider is a German SG-38 btw.

On the way to WABB.

Coral Sea/Midway really needs a redo... our (Bruce Baker as well) effort for CFS2 really does not do FSX justice as we were working with a poly budget under 10K. Let me see what I have in drydock or I can find plans on so we can do them right for FSX. Very nice work with Oriskany! I had been working on the island but was not happy with my hull to put a 27C class out.

Excellent news.... can never have too much navy!! :salute::jump::applause:

I figured it was from Cannon and their "Non Standard Airframe" fleet. I've taken a few rides with that unit, but never in the 328. Neat looking aircraft.

Fibber, I looked on Google Earth, and found the evidence of a Sub Pen and breakwater that you described. Is this what you had in mind?

Nice looking HUD. Goodness!

There is no reason to become impolite. I would appreciate it if you could discuss inquiries about purchase details at the Milviz forums, by PM or by e-mail. I don't think it serves any purpose to see two people quarreling about something nobody else in interested in. Thanks for you understanding and cooperation, Huub

John I had to read this sentence twice...... you of all people!!! :isadizzy: :icon_lol: :icon_lol: Nevertheless very much appreciated in this case. Looking forward to your Harvards, Huub

Tobob, Getting closer...this is with the WC_030_020.bgl and LC_030_020.bgl in the Scenedb\World\Scenery folder. I was also able to fix Dakar's harbor island by moving the watermask file into the Scenedb\World\Scenery folder.

Glad to help. Steve Parsons is working on his next shaders which may render Fs8/9 textures as well.

Great shots! I particularly love the AVRO Triplane, a model I've always wanted for FsX:ernae:
