    I'm working away at the new textures. I just popped it in FSX to have a peek, and OOPS!!! I better recheck alphas



    Stay tuned. I think you'll like the progress.

    I appreciate that, Matt. Although I'm working from bare mesh to make sure it will be right. Other layers won't be of any use.

    Very, very nice OleBoy. I like those reflections.

    i'm not too sure about photoreal.... i mean it'd be great if the scenery was all photoreal, but it isn't so it looks kinda out of place.... like trying to hide a sniper in an urban area by lying him down in the middle of a square guaranteed to look outta place....

    I would figure with all the technolgy now to keep that from happening, that it would be more dangerous then to smoke around an airplane than now.

    That was before airplanes figured out that they could leak fuel all over the ramp and create such hazards.... BTW, Those are some very nice screenies, OleBoy.:salute:

    those airplanes probably leaked more than the modern ones but...

    The flyer you gave links to, SG, will help with logo making. Thanks. From those links I was able to head other direction for more resource material. It took some crafty doing, but it paid off.

    The hardest part yet is finding usable Czech text as it is on the sides of the 51. Hard to come by so far. Which is the reason I posted the picture of the Fokker.

    That is a great photo and the clearest image of the CLS graphic I have seen so far. I may be able to find a type face to match most of the characters. The ČS is very stylized and may have to be constructed from the photos.

    As I guessed Oscar Bravo...and very useful input it is, thanks for sharing.

    All I can say is that I wish that I had the designing talent that the team that created this work of beauty possesses.
    Thank you.

    What we lack in talent, (for me, that is a lot!) we make up in "dognacity" and persistence.

    Beta Testing Wrapup and Release Preparations

    In terms of a release timeframe, I am awaiting textures for the metric panels and some final beta test results and I think we will have it all wrapped up and ready for packaging.

    Best guess is sometime next week.

    Meanwhile, I ask all of you to do some research ... anything and everything you can find on the Avia 57 would be helpful.

    Thanks

    (sigh) I wish I'd have known earlier. I found several reference materials of this one in my ventures the other day. I'm not sure I can find them again. The 57 has a similar shape to the Spartan. And the Connie.

    Email sent, Milton.

    I almost forgot. Nigel, your works you've done for the Av51 Tri-Motor, OUTSTANDING!!!
