Awesome!

Impressive line up John... Dr.1 are a blast to fly in ROF!

If you have other games, try those to see if your getting corruption also.

One of my favorites, beautiful work John. Looking at the paintkit, very well done indeed!

I've downloaded the update from PC Aviator USA on 5-11, no notice from them... just downloaded from your account once again.

:salute:

Very cool!

Now if there was something like this for modeling FSX aircraft... I've downloaded these books and it's fascinating how it's done in Blender. http://airplanes3d.net/model-p40_e.xml http://airplanes3d.net/wm-000_e.xml

Nah... I know I'm still going to do these restorations, just expressing my feelings that's all. The Howard and Paul's FSX Duck are the only two aircraft I've done startup effects for. I thought it would be cool to have alternating flames coming out of the pipes, and nice flowing smoke coming from both sides of the cowls, plus I incorporated the pop sounds in the effects file. The cabin will be redone in the same style the Howard N500HP has in these pics. This should complete the model. Ceiling so far, creating the pattern... Better look at the ceiling and what I need to do...

Hey Blackbird... thanks! Just a lack of experience in my case. Now I know what to look for thanks to Ed (Falcon409). :salute: I will continue...

Pickup the T-28 for $17.96 yesterday on the Tuesday 10% on everything sale!

Just checked it myself, fx_1.bmp is in DXT5 format 16bit. That's why I had no issues with it in FSX. Thought it was just a standard file used by both sims. I think I will just stick with developing in FSX, private release only. Sorry guys for all the trouble.

Found a bunch of other textures that were bad using DXTfixer. I was wondering why some other aircraft and ground textures was giving my fits. Good program to find those issues.

Your welcome.

Glad that program did the trick. Looking at those files you would not know that it had issues. I left the L files as they were from the original Howard. These issues didn't show up in FSX. Let me know if these files fixes the issues, if ok, I will upload the fix on SOH. Fixed files download: https://www.box.com/s/u29cfk3lkd1d60tp1cgt

Update: Just tried this nifty little program and found the original Howard 500 fuse_L.bmp and pilotseatleather_L.bmp files are bad. Running this program will fix it, but someone will need to test it in FS9. Run the program on all aircraft textures (passenger, cargo, and TP).

I have no issues with Howard model, but I can only test it in FSX. The program DXTFixer can be found at this Link in the first post: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382811-dxtfixer-utility/

I have no issues, but I only have FSX to test with. With 331 downloads, I would think there would be more issues like yours. Link for the DXT fixer, its in the first post: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382811-dxtfixer-utility/
