[QUOTE=@gman5250, great looking textures there sir ... love the wing look, very metal looking. [/QUOTE]

Thank you for the positive feedback sir. I've uploaded two blank textures to the skins page. The B and C models are basic aircraft in high polish finish. Along with those I have uploaded the Sugarland Express texture as well. Looking forward to everyone's feed back and suggestions on these. Thank you Milton and your team for creating such an exquisite model to work with.

Thanks for the textures GMAN5250, just picked up all three. Great work!!

I think that's the hot ordinance ramp, at the far end of the field, the place they send us about half the time....

Just installed the Sugarland express texture. Mine has a very blury Vert Stab, did miss something or goof up the install?

Is it just the vert stab or horizontal also? I took a look at my art files and tuned up the tail numbers a bit. I'll reload the entire file this evening.
Also, these are 32 bit textures rather than DXT5. I did this for the smoothness in the bump maps, but it can be taxing on a system.

How are your frame rates? Also maybe post up a screen shot of the v/stab and let me take a look.

I'll be posting up a complete DXT5 version for systems that can't handle the 32 bit version. Much more frame rate friendly but quite a loss on resolution. IMHO

Thanks for the input, my goal is to put together art files worthy of the model.

Worn cockpit texture set for Milton's A-26 Invader. Includes instrument panel, with out the Camels pack. If you guys want the clean version, no cig, with a new seat texture, let me know.


I've been working on different textures for the seat... will included this in the next zip file. My first cockpit textures I've done so be kind... just wanted to do something for you guys!

Really? I've actually found just the opposite to be true. I've just finished a set of liveries for an aircraft and first reproduced them in 32bit bitmap form, then decided to go with "dds" DXT5, the difference was night and day. The dds (DXT5) was extremely sharp and even producing textures of 4096x4096 was no strain on a 4 year old dual core system.

gman, very nice textures!



now before I start slapping paint on them, do you have a layered psd version as well? And if so, are you planning to upload those too?

To be honest I did not see much difference on this particular aircraft between DXT5 and 32 bit. I have experienced what looked like posterizing on a DH Vampire model when I created a black skin. It could be a model specific anomaly. When I post up the DXT5 version of the A-26 it will be 2048X2048. Take a look and compare...let me know what you think.

What I noticed on this particular aircraft was a slight pixelated appearance in the bump reflection on the fuse when I first loaded the original texture. I already had my own bump maps done, so when I loaded those textures the reflections smoothed out. It's interesting in this medium...each project has it's own personality.

Thanks for the input.

I will definitely be posting up a layered PSD. That one will be up very shortly.

Attachment 65583I can post again? I CAN post again! Do I want to? Oh, what the heck...
Brilliant job on the FSX conversion, new textures et al. Just DL`d the new interior textures. Great to have the `26 back in FSX. All the light bomber and attack groups in my sim world are in the proces of re-equiping on Invaders. Navy and Marine VB units are standing to on PB1D`s next.
BZ!BZ!BZ!

Maybe P4D-1 would be better. The PB-1 was navy version of the B-17. It's giving me an idea for some fictional repaints. The Corps used the PBJ, so why not use the Invader?
