Thanks for the encouragement! You are very kind... Just completed another one...Quote:

I think with a little patient anyone can do it justice on his own...

Excellent panels, Gaucho, and yes - I am definitely interested. The Helldiver panel in particular is very well-done!:salute:
Are you going to make them available to the community, they would be a great addition.
T.
Yes... However, as I stated before... I am not a config file wizz... I can make the bmp available anytime... butQuote:

I thought that folks who are gurus in that respect would jump at the chance to produce some seriously valid
panels... There is an awful lot of great panels that, however, leave much to be desired in the bmp background... like some
of the Masters (Ito, etc.) So called "photorealistic" but actually lacking cohesion... like a collage of bits and piece that don't
always hang together right... if you know what I mean...
Apparently not everyone is concerned with panels... just the outside aircraft...
For me.. the panel "makes or breaks" the illusion of feeling like you are piloting the "real" thing...
One cannot be flying and admiring the outside at the same time... but in the cockpit... you can do both...
I wish VCs were also realized seriously... the masters do it... the "run of the mill VC" just look weird... exagerated perpective... etc.
I wish I had the talent or I would definitely help. Iis there anyone out there that would be interested in collaborating with gaucho_59? It would be a shame to let these panels go by the waste side.

Still churning them up... and looking for a "config guru" to put life into 2D panelsQuote:

still working on more bmp panel files
Which aircraft were the last two panels for. They look great.

OOPS!!!
Pardon me... the Stuka jpg is only what I used for reference... need to
place here the panel I produced... (as soon as I find it! lol... I did it a
while ago and it is archived somewhere...)
A presto... e arrivederci...

as well as this Dora panel

Those are beautiful.
Have you done any WWI aircraft?
Could you give us a list of what you have available. Maybe that will help spark some intrest. You never know what project someone might be working on. I wish I had the software to do them justice. Otherwise I offer to help.
Superb artwork. Absolutely Superb.
Till later,
John
Hard to give you a list right now... it is forever changing because I keep churning them about one a day...Quote:

a la Kazunori Ito... great master modeller but kind of poor in textures) and I can re-do it in a jiffy...
(so long as it is fairly faithful to the actual aircraft... I like to do accurate representations whenever possible...
like the ones I have shown here... some are from line drawings or fuzzy pictures which I "doctor"...

a project to create true-to era instrument bezels... Here are a few I've started...
By the time someone feels like collaborating, I will have built a considerable archive of useful textures...
btw... the one solitary request to collaborate DID reassert himself and said that the offer to use my work still stands... only
his work-group needs to finish an extant project...

could release as a complete aircraft repaint...

Thank you for your posts. I wish I had the talent to be able use your panels, they look great.
T.
Just yesterday I saw this in an old download and decided it could use a little re-doing...Quote:

I think that the "rescued" panel makes the flying experience a little more like "you
are flying" so to speak:
