That's what I meant! What did you think?????? :biggrin-new:

New build from the ground up...no pun intended. :encouragement:
This one is awaiting some updates based on things I've learned with the Tigercat build. A lot of new PBR techniques will be used in...

I was doing some color studies on the WIP airplane in the new P3D 3.3.5. Thought I'd share cuz it was so darned gorgeous.

Prepar3D 3.3.5 | REX TD & Soft Clouds | ASN Live Weather | NVIDIA current...

Rick is spot on correct. Painting for DR will essentially need to be approached as a separate process from this point forward. It's not only airplanes either, DR will affect metal buildings, glass,...

I thought a motion study of Prepar3D would be appropriate for this thread, so I've re-posted the link to the Jan Visser VC video here where I can go in to a bit more detail about the scene. The video...

Yeah...definitely on my punch list. I've been down the rabbit hole with the scenery design, but will get to the Phantom and Fat Albert skins.

Some light and texture studies of WIP scenery.

I just did a straight up install with Migration Tool. Let me install the B-52 and see if I get the crash. I know that P3D has always been extremely sensitive and will crash at the drop of a hat, but...

[QUOTE=TuFun;999197]Hey "G"... what LM has done to this sim is remarkable!!! Is that Captains C-130?

Yep...The C-130 will get Nevada ANG "High Rollers" colors and proper numbers...eventually. Too...

Hey TF...that last shot is a stunner!!!

I've still got that vid TF....makes me laugh every time I watch it.

Not sure how long it will take them to release the CYSE upgrade.

You will need ORBX PNW if you are using the original freeware version of CBB7 Tipella. The shorelines are very different from stock FSX and will display much of the scenery intended for water...

Yeah...that water is freaking cold. lol

Agreed P3D has smoothed things out tremendously. I design to maximize current technology, but accommodate the less capable systems. Tippela was a push for...

Yes, I did CBB7 Tipella for ORBX. That project utilized their vegetation libraries and FSX autogen, but I have since created my own comprehensive library of vegetation and models. The veggies in the...

PM me...I'll help you straighten it out.

FYI, I installed the FSX DG808S in P3Dv3 and it worked fine...tow plane...thermal graphics...all good. Did a long flight from Minden NV to KMMH.

You can port FSX planes into P3Dv3 without problems that I am aware of.
Copy and paste the airplane in it's folder into P3D, also you will need to copy effects and gauges as well. The best way is...

A road trip would be great...I have one or two usual stops right out in your neighborhood. I wouldn't mind shaking hands with some friends.

Scenery thread..? Hmmm, maybe a thread for everyone to...

Bishop is 15 minutes South. I'm in Lake Crowley with a really lovely lake view and cattle in my front yard. I can see the KMMH rwy lights from my front window. :untroubled:

Pity about the trout...

Thanks Tom,

I'm about three hours south, but get up there fairly often.

I needed a break from the scenery, thus the F7F endeavor that took much longer than I anticipated, but now I'll be back...

ORBX grasses originate from their individual developers. You will see the various artistic styles of each artist depending on which airport you purchase.
I did two projects for ORBX before I...

Thank you Mark.

The thing is, P3D is opening up vast new possibilities for developing really good vegetation, ground textures and realistic buildings. The tools are all in the SDK, so the trick is...

This is part of the scenery project Mark. The longer range goal is to complete the entire Owens Valley from Bryant O57 (Bridgeport) to Olancha or China Lake. Also working on KRNO and Reno Stead. The...

Like in real life, sometimes you just need a camera. Spontaneous light, weather and scenery coming together and creating more V3 inspiration. The set are captured flying the backbone of the White...

Thanks Daube,

I'm at the point where I have to really strategize my flights because of the various limitations we run into, but if I look at it as a cost/benefit relationship I think the...
