Just finished a new 2D panel for the Storch..

Here's a quick tutorial that some might find useful...
Any comments or questions will be gladly attended to...
I think this "treatment" enhances the "reality look" of gauges...

there was need for a correction on the bracing of the windshield... Sorry...
It is more faithful to the photo now..

Hi Gaucho,
The view from the CR.42's cockpit is wrong, this is the Real plane, as You can see there are no wires and You omitted "some" bracing....

Thank you...
The braces on the bmp I started with were absolutely TOO big... and not having a pic.. I just corrected the
closer one and didn't realize those in front were also braces.. just need to replace the wires with correct
thickness braces...
Thanks again...
At any rate... the original had the board wrong... ONE PIECE.. and it is a 2-piece affair..

Here it is, all better now.. lol

Hi Gaucho,
This is what the CR.42's pilot seen from the cockpit :

[gaucho_59]

I think I got it right now... or not???? The braces are correct and in perspective...
My pet peeve with rendered 3D cockpits is that they are exaggerated in vanishing point perspective...
The human eye does not see things that way... sort of like wide-angle lenses... they distort perspective
There is such thing as parallax distortion... When you take a picture of a tall building... parallax makes
it look as though the sides are not perpendicular to the ground... yet they are...
It is called parallax distortion... However, the Broca's area of the of the brain makes corrections and one
does not see it that way... we see with binocular vision... the photographs are monocular... and thus
imperfect... even though if it is purported to be reality... it really isn't...
Notwithstanding, your 3D panels are an excellent starting point... just changing the perspective a bit and
adding some touches like real-looking bolts, etc. (that's the art part)... make possible the creation of some
nice renditions... Of course, they are never a photo...

I try to make my panels emulate what the human eye sees.. NOT A FISHEYE VIEW...
by the way...the shape of the leather covered bumper edge in yours seems different from the photos...
kind of squarish.. (actually trapezoid) it seems the real one was more rounded...
At any rate... like Obama says: it is what it is... lol
Thanks again,

Hi Gaucho,
You are right, the braces are correct and in perspective, but You simply "lost" FOUR braces that were exactly in front of windscreen, in "fish-eye" view they are masked by windscreen frame (the view is "forced" only for demonstrate the lack of the braces, the real PoV in CR.42 doesn't deform the view).

Hi,
Isn't the Broca's area to do with language, rather than sight?

I had a senior moment I guess... yes indeed you are right...
The cortical area related to vision is in the occipital area... I had the right area in my head...but
the wrong name....lol... I've been out of the practice of anesthesia since 1989!...
and each day I find myself....sometimes... confused in the recall of a lot of things related to
my professional acumen.. like drug names, etc. (I just turned 77... hope it is not CBS (Alzheimer's) or chronic brain syndrome creeping on me... used to be called senility... hahahha)
Just the other day I could not think of the word for something... and my wife... who is a nurse case manager and much younger... had to remind me... I guess I have archived away stuff that I don't really use in my head...
Another funny thing... I could name a drug like glycopyrrolate HCl... but could not think of the commercial name at all...then all of a sudden it came to me (days later)... Ah.. it was Robinul... made by Robbins Pharmaceuticals... doses... etc. very clearly.... It can be frustrating at times... when you are involved in conversations and just can't come out with the right word... Guess I should be glad to at least have lived this long so far.. lol
At least I can drive (just spent about 6 months in Germany driving all over the place... even the center of Paris in my way to Normandy) and not get lost on my way to the grocery store.. lol

Thanks again... will get that corrected.. I see them now...
btw.. are they connected to just behind the leading edge of the upper wing?
Hope it is the last thing to correct..
Thanks again...

Hi gaucho_59,
I think you are the man for panels! so I have a question to ask of you.
I d/led the Boeing CC1 from flightsim I think and I have welded the AP onto the panel, as previously you had to go Ctrl+8 to show it.However I don't really like it stuck on the panel, so thought to use a Simicon to make it visible, but I seem to have had a brain crash as I cannot figure how to relate the Simicon to the gauge/Window to get it to show and a pointer would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy.

Hi Gaucho,
Very impressed with your work on 2D panels over the years. I was intrigued to see your work on USS SANGAMON. I am always hunting for new carriers to crash onto. Is this a FS2004 compatible carrier that I can install. If so, where did you find it?
Rgds and tks again for some really nice 2D panels for a/c.

Hi,
When it comes to tekkie stuff...I am as dumb as they come...
I don't even know what a "simicom" is... I just do artwork the best I can...
Do you realize that I didn't even understand what it is you did or what you are looking for an answer... hahha
Anything to do with painting... I can help... and am at your beck and call if I can help...

Cheers,
G.

[gaucho_59]

Dear Mal,

I am not sure... but I think I got it right here... if not... it is at Flightsim for sure...

Cheers,
G.
