    Here are a couple of jet age types...

    Do you know how to upload here at larger than 1024 by 768?...
    It won't accept anything bigger than that... but I see other folks uploading much larger pix...

    You are right... darkening does bring it out much better

    I see a lot of very useful talent on those panels, Gaucho_59.

    Very nice work, Sir!

    I just keep on trucking... Just got a profile for an aircraft I wish someone developed... I think there is a
    CFS2 Boston Paul Defiant... going to check... for it invites some work!

    Yes, I had downloaded this one and it's where I got the base for my version of the 2D
    panel here... I thought someone mentioned an FSX conversion... Matt Wynn is working
    on a real jewel and I hope to download it when he finishes it... Thanks again...

    not the best - the model shows its age ... originally for CFS2

    This time, I repainted the now very dated P-38 "Glacial Girl", which has a panel with great possibilities, and turned it
    into a historically correct "Skylark IV"... with fairly acceptable looks... need to redo this number on a larger textured
    model... Does anyone know whether the B-24 guy demirrored the stock CFS2 LIGHTNING?
    If it is available... please let me know where I can download it...

    I found the B24 Guy's P-38 F and started on a redo of the Skylark IV as well as some other nifty liveries... more to follow...

    I redid the Skylark IV using the B-24 Guy's demirrored stock from CS2... and I got what I think a fairly good repaint...
    however marred by these unsightly propeller arcs - more like multi-poligons than arcs - I tried using Kelty's wonderful propellers... to no
    avail... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHETHER THIS UNSIGHTLY "ARCS" CAN BE CORRECTED???
    Please advise if at all possible.... I think the scheme is rather attractive...

    Question Reply...

    Gaucho_59,

    If I could humbly make a request, is there any way you would consider making a revised panel for the Savoia-Marchetti Sm-84 torpedo bomber?

    http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...d=150&id=16239

    "CFS2 SIAI Marchetti SM.84. In 1940, the Regia Aeronautica received a new addition to its bomber force, the SM.84, that was designed to replace the SM.79, but which never succeeded in equaling the performance of its illustrious predecessor. This was principally due to its lack of maneuverability, making it anything but ideal in the role of torpedo-bomber, and due to the general lack of reliability of its Piaggio P.XI engines. The model is made by William Dickens The airfile and dp are by Pedro Paulo Rezende (Peperez) The panel .bmp is by Phil Perrot (from the Alphasim Collection). 1.3MB"

    No problem... I am not sure, but I think I might have done it already... need to check my unfinished projects...
    If a all possible, and to be exact... why don't you PM me so we can establish a file exchange medium through email....
    I will certainly be more than happy to oblige...

    I did not have an unfinished project on it... but I got a hold of an old blurry photograph of the actual panel...
    and it is coming out rather well... working on 800 dpi and very large canvas so it can be cropped to whatever
    size and position suits you...
    Should be done in a fairly short time...

    WIP report on Savoia Marchetti...

    So you get an idea... still very much a work in progress subject to whatever mods you might envision...
    Please let me know what you think so as to guide my work....
    Like I said... the actual canvas is much larger and detailed... but I don't know how to
    post it in a larger size... this forum only accepts 1024x 768...
    If you know of a way to post it larger kindly let me know...
    BTW... In my haste I just realized the is asymmetry on the lightening holes... but that can easily be corrected...

    A risentirci... if not arrivederci...

    Here, I corrected the asymmetry...

    Very nice Gaucho..as always, really nice subtle work.

    I particularily like the control-wheels soft shadows, a good touch of realism.

    And a great start for a working 2D panel.

    Did you see my call for help with the problem of the CFS2 propeller arc?
    If you know of any way to solve it... please let me know...

  23. #173

    TBH I did take a look and then had a brain-wave! This is an original CFS2 ac, and surprisingly M$ instead of putting the prop texture in each of the ac texture folders they put it in the main sim 'Texture' folder, as with FS9. So when this was uploaded, B24G didn't realise and put the prop tex in with it. The tex you want is 'prop_us.bmp', see attached for a good choice, this is on a standard P38, I just hope the during the P38 de-mirroring process B24G didn't change anything.

    Shessi

    p.s I've got to admit there are plenty better P38s out there to get your brush stuck into!

    You are right... except that the others... I redid Shipley's... have such small textures... that it's hard to super detail them...
    I guess I should get a payware one... there are so many beautiful liveries... especially the one I have been working on...
    I posted a pic of it in flight... before the CFS2 one... Indeed this one shows its age in terms of the model mappings...
