FS 2004
Here is the translucence test using alphas of 240 and 252.

Milton,this is looking more incredible by the day. It almost looks like DX10 shadowing
across the deck! I mentioned rigging earlier and I do not think complete absolute
reality is a must. When I painted Tall Ships I left out a lot of the minor rigging as it
was just too much to replicate. I think you are doing the right thing here.
This project of yours has me very exicited indeed. It has helped to take my mind off
the problems I have at the moment. I am still recovering from a Heart attack and
Triple Bypass surgery and have been feeling very down. This project of the Bounty
has truely lifted my spirits. Thank you
Regards Anthin.

Hi,
Just watched the YT Bounty film in 10 minute clips (from Nigel's post)...it was pretty good, apart from the overacting and the histrionics at the approach of bad weatherIt was interesting to listen to Anthony Hopkins' accent drift eastwards towards the Suffolk coast as they journeyed on, surviving on the gizzardy bits of Gannet and Lord knows what else in the jolly boat. Not once the old Pirate call of 'Ah-Ha Jim Lad' which was sad ( I only put 'sad' as I'm not too sure about spelling 'disappointing'.)
What I was wondering was though was about the controls of the vessel- will she be sluggardly and contrary when luffing to windward? Will she be able to 'Come About, Mr Christian, Come About' in the teeth of a raging gale?
These nautical phrases trip lightly off the tongue of a Master Mariner, one such as me what has spent countless hours on the wind-dashed waters of the Alexandra Park Boating Lake, with the cries of the sea ringing in his windswept ears 'Come in Number 5, your time is up' and 'Stop splashing us, you idiot, we'll sink'.
Looking forward to another work of computer genius
Andy.
Funny you should mention the nautical terms, Andy; I did some fiddling around with some sounds when Milton kindly sent me a recent copy of the WIP model.
Still can't boast of the fancy-wancy, see-through sails (which I'm aching to get me mitts on...), but getting back to the sounds, I got the 'Ignition' going with;
Bligh:"Make sail!"
Mr. Friar:"Sir!
Mr. Friar: "Make sail Mr. Cole!"
Cole; "Aye, aye, Sir!"
Cole: "Prepare to make sail..."
"let go of sheets and 'tacks'(?)!"
As I say, too early yet with so much work ahead of us.
Flaps were interesting...
version 1 has Bligh saying "Damned you man, don't you bloody cross me!"
but v2's;
"Are you frightened to go around the Horn, Mr. Christian?"
"Are you a coward too, Sir?"
sounds more chilling.

Thank you Anthin; the pleasure is ours. :-)Milton,this is looking more incredible by the day. It almost looks like DX10 shadowing

Are you running FSX and FS9 as well?
LOL Nigel
Hi Milton.
I am running FSX ACC only. However I do have a copy of FS9
that I picket up cheap in EB games a little while back.
Regards Anthin.
Nice to see Uncle Milton still about and still modelling for FS

@Nigel
Ignition?
'Mark Twain' as you come up the sandbar.
Amazing to have her heeling over as you go aboutLove the nautical phrases; where they come from I know not, but I did have a bath once long ago and it may be from that traumatic experience.
'Damme Sirrah, set some flap, before I have you flogged'

Ignition; Nautical term for whistling up a breeze in our case.
Another good'n; "kiss the gunner's daughter".
The mind boggles as to where that one originated from.
Now, back to work or Skipper may just introduce me to that fair maiden...

I'll admit, since I have never felt enthused by ships in FS I had ignored the thread, but today was one of those set aside to read "extraneous" material.
Very nice Milton! I think I'll be trying this one out a bunch of times - sometimes slow and ponderous is a nice way to go (which is why I fly airships too)
However, I'm not sure about this post...
If Only ...
... we could get this kind of action in FS!Attached Thumbnails
Having done a fair bit of sailing in my life, including one trip down the west coast from CYVR to SFO in October, in conditions much like the above (creeping along in dead fog for the first day then fighting 45 knot winds and 30 ft seas for the next 3) in a 35 ft sloop I'm not sure I have any desire to replicate it on a monitor that isn't waterproofed inside and out. It was the longest 1000 nm of my life!
Looking forward to it now!

Anthin,
Are you running dx9 or dc10?
Also, you seem not to have private messaging turned on so would you please email me using my profile email?
Oh wow Sir! What an experience indeed!I'll admit, since I have never felt enthused by ships in FS I had ignored the thread, but today was one of those set aside to read "extraneous" material.

Would be happy to have you climb aboard and off insight and seaman's advice.
Ah, to expound here: http://www.oldsaltblog.com/2008/10/s...ng-the-monkey/LOL, Andy.

Great site there.
You might check this video, "Don't lean on the running rigging". :-)

Sorry Milton
, trying to find edit options so I can turn it on.
Ithink it is turned on now. I sent you a short message.
Anthin
Got it and replied. Thanks :-)
LOL Thanks. I like the "binnacle" location and closeness. Much easier to see and read. :-)
That dose look like one impressive ship ... now off to Tahiti then were did he go .. were did who said ole Capt Bly
Hey RickNice to see Uncle Milton still about and still modelling for FS
Regards
Rick
Now have Harpoons, Lodestars, and Vega Ventura in the wings, along with this HMS Bounty, and a few other WIPs I am chipping away at.
Great to see you.
Very informative, Skipper.
Good grief, Sir; I do believe it's time to go and suck the monkey!

Hi Nigel. Those Brass Monkies are are killer,LOL.
Anthin.
This weekend my focus has been on finishing out the Capt's interior windows, getting lighting throughout, rebuilding parts of the inner hull, and fixing a myriad of unspecified export problems finally attributed to interior windows and cabin structures in the Hold.
Got some lights working on the interior and exterior, and now focusing on refinements on the lower deck.
OH My milton starting to look good.
Anthin.
