Lockheed P-2V7 Fire Bombers?

[BillgjCook]

Ok I have started work on the cockpit and am trying to address why I can not get the tires to rotate I have done it on other models but these ones are being boogers.

[BillgjCook]

How's the flight modeling and paint jobs coming? Still need to work on tanker 55 textures. I am on a little brake right now so I don't get burnt out only for a cupple days so I can get some stuff done around the house. I am happy with the way the models and paint have turned out and can not wait tale I get all the models done along with the VC's. Keep up the good work and we will have a nice set of tankers to fly and enjoy.

Thank You

Bill

I think we owe you the pleasure of the big THANK YOU! Without you, we would be nowhere with the PV's.

On the tire rotation issue...
For FSX all animations get keyframed & tagged, and anything that rotates requires intermediate keys (i.e. 0*/90*/180*/270*/360*)

Ok I did something like that but I did 0, 25, 50, 75, 100. I will do it as you say and see if that fixes my problem thank you.

Actually, we're meaning the same thing...at your frame 25 rotate 90*...and so on.
I'm not sure how many frames are in the animation. I'm at work right now.

I received some photos of the P2-V via my email (not your files Bill) So far, trying to put together something for rivet/panel lines in any uniformity from pictures leaves a lot to the imagination. Unfortunately not mine.
......I'm in process with what I have. We'll see how it goes. Panel lines will be fairly direct. Rivet placement is a mystery at this point.


I have the line overlays ready to go.

N2056, I did 0, 25, 50, 75, 100 key frames for rotation all at 90* for every one, I will get back to work on it on Friday and will check everything.

OleBoy, Panel lines are just fine with me as there is not very good pics out there with rivet lines. I will take anything that you come up with, I have seen the work that you are doing on a cupple of other aircraft and they look ausome.

Thank You

Alright. I'll do my best. I'll come up with something convincing.

[LINESTRIKE]Well Bill, here I go displaying my ignorance. I can't get the model/paint to display in-sim with your config. I went through and edited, but that didn't work either. I'm stumped.

Am I needing to convert all the textures within the aircraft folders to get it to work?[/LINESTRIKE]

Here's a couple of the P2V-5's progress. When I view them, I keep trying to rotate them with my mouse

I've never claimed to be the sharpest nail in the can. Viewable, NOW! in sim!

Wow OleBoy that looks AWESOME!

Bill, I'll get you the flight model pretty soon, sorry for the delay. One of us (3 have been testing it) found an issue that we're trying to replicate so we can solve it. Once we get that squared away we'll get it to you!

No worries

OleBoy, Wow those look awesome keep up the good work.

Trust me. I'm doing my best to remain frustrated while staying between the lines. And I haven't been drinking.

Little by little. I'll get there.

You are doing a fine job.

Still having a tuff time trying to get the tires to rotate not sure what the problem is
Would any one take a look at my model and see what I may be doing rong.
