I think we need own topic for virtual aerobatics, previous discussion have been in topic of my video.
So could we talk about aerobatics, planes, repaints, airshows & displays, competitions, flyings, tours and other events here? Of course screenshots are also welcome.
thanks for this topic
my final scheme for this weekends online flights only wheelpants are left on do list

Everybody ok for Saturday and for the next leg of our journey?
Pete.
Great idea for a topic! Since we're talking about aerobatics, does anyone know where any aerobatic boxes are in FSX? I know there's one just to the west of Fond du Lac, Wisconson, are there more?
What do you mean aerobatic boxes?
I was wondering about the boxes myself when the topic came up locally a while back but forgot. I don't think there is any?
Peter, they the imaginary boxes for which a aerobatic routine is performed(competition). It has lateral and vertical boundaries which the routine must stay inside of. The markers on the ground may vary. I haven't kept up with competition rules of late so I wonder if there are now electronic AB Box boundaries nowadays.
"Soon to be Expat"
I think they're still using the markers on the ground for the boundaries. I can't recall where I read it but I thought there were more than the one at Fond du Lac. Takeoff from rwy 36 and fly 270 degrees, probably no more than 2 miles you will see some grey markers on the ground marking the boundary.

I THINK there is one near Reno... guys had a PC Crash over the weekend, gotta re-install everything... should still be OK for the weekend though.... fingers crossed
There is several boxes in FSX default. And you can add them also by youselves with Whisplacer.
You find locations of boxes in Learning Center -> Aerobatics
Peter: It's FinlandX and you can find it from fsnordic.net

shiny warbird.... well it's definately a modern take on a warbird scheme
any idea how I can tone down the shine ?
has it to do with alphachannel or the specs
BR
Tom
Ok Matt no problem! @ work till 5 here
alphachannel Tom, the alpha on the spec map controls the amount of reflected colour, have a look at my pearlescent E540 to see what i mean...
ok
thanks for the info that Spec maps can have alpha channel too
BR
Tom
Matt,
even with alpha full white there is shine could it be hardcoded in the model?
have uploaded the D-DAY Scheme to Add-Ons Library
