.. but since there's already paints out there, I can't alter it anymore.

Yes indeed.. damned if you do, damned if you don't. I wasn't finger-wagging here btw

Bjoern.. there was a 'little' exhaust smoke on the original if I remember right. The only smoke we have now is with the 'I' key and off the LH wingtip. Would it be a difficult job to get the wee bit of exhaust smoke back? No problem if it is. More than happy to live with her clean

Well, I'm not a fan of cube mapping a fuselage either, but since there's already paints out there, I can't alter it anymore.

Good heavens no....I'd be lost if the mapping changed....

Besides.... I now have the bottom of the T'bird done...

I never added smoke. And no, no more smoke ever.

Here's the redone TBirds done in metal. I'll upload the 'genuine' ver shortly...

****, blah, blah, yadda, yadda...


(I've also converted all remaining textures into .dds format. Download size: 63 -> 56 MB.)



Ona more general note:
The only request I'll gladly fulfill is a link to the most recent model source files and brushing off any inquiries about what to do with them!

[Jafo]

Got the new ver, thanks, Bjoern...

One thing I've since noticed....not sure if it's me or something weird but looks like a landing would be 'interesting' to quote from Firefly ....

[Bjoern]

Well, having the nose wheel react to lateral velocity is intended and good...but not in the air.

Manual fix. In panel\l39set\L39parts.xml, replace:

(A:ROTATION VELOCITY BODY Y, feet/second) /-/ 60 * 50 + (>L:noseangle, enum)

with

(A:SIM ON GROUND,bool)
if{ (A:ROTATION VELOCITY BODY Y, feet/second) /-/ 60 * 50 + (>L:noseangle, enum) }
els{ (L:noseangle, enum) 50 != if{ 50 (>L:noseangle, enum) } }

Or redownload the whole shaboodle and only replace L39parts.xml. Or reinstall everything. Or throw your computer out the window. Or...

[DaveB]

Dare I ask.. is that fix in the full download now?

I don't know, I threw my computer out the window per Bjoern's suggestion. But seriously, yes...the fix is included in the full download.

hahahahaha..

Don't wind him up. He'll be adding more pages to the manual

Guys - amazing work. I can't wait to get P3D installed in a couple days and try this out!

[Bjoern]

I don't use DX10, so no guarantees of any kind.

[big-mike]

Thanks Bjoern,will try.

Or throw your computer out the window. Or...

OK...just so I don't get all FUBAR.... do I need to open the window first....and what if the computer is too big?

I can see a need for more pages in the ****....

[Jafo]

With the redownloaded zip....thanks, Bjoern...

[Bjoern]

OK...just so I don't get all FUBAR.... do I need to open the window first....

You don't, if you put enough effort into the throw.

[Jafo]

You don't, if you put enough effort into the throw.

Ah, but there-in lies the problem...
This is a new computer....it's a Thermaltake Level 10 Limited edition....and the case alone weighs 50lb ...and that's without a PSU....so the whole critter weighs as much as a small planet....

The F-4 had the aerodynamics of a brick, yet that didn't stop it from going mach 2+. So get a pair of J79s and get it done!


By the way: I always thought your USAF skins on a czech trainer in private hands were a neat, fictituous idea, but there really seem to be people out there who have their L-39s in US military markings...

Why most of these markings are USN is, however, a total mystery to me.

Well, it does look better though...

Shall have a go at the Playboy one first...

What happens when you plonk that jpg into the paintkit...
