This is a reworking by MajorMagee of the AH original package to make it more compatible with AnKor's Shaders, increase the texture resolution, add panel line bump maps, create lights and special effects, and to clean up some of the mapping irregularities.

Thank you Andy ! This is awesome news. Thanks for your time and work. Regards,Scott

[MajorMagee]

I just fixed two more little texture sniggles related to the tires, and the tail wheel doors. (it only took two hours to track down and fix...).

I know the main wheel hub cutouts look distorted, but the surface model in this area precludes fixing it. (Same texture looks fine on the tail wheel)

The first 10 people who downloaded it should probably grab it again. (The latest file is named AH P47D_MalcolmHood_r2.zip)

Thank you !

[Daiwilletti]

Thank you! Coming out of nowhere, all of a sudden a new model to keep us busy until Frosty's major work arrives

[sixstrings5859]

[MajorMagee]

I really should move the wingtip lights farther forward...

Apologies for not doing this in the first place, but I just uploaded a revised package for the AH Malcolm Hood Razor Back.

The r3 update fixes various issues with the wing panel lines and moves the wing tip lights to their proper position.

[kdriver]

Thanks Major, I updated your original package.
Cheers,
Kevin

Here's the next one, once it's been released.

p.s. If you downloaded the Malcolm Hood version before 18 Feb 22 you'll want to get that one again as it (AH P47D_MalcolmHood_r4.zip) has now been updated with the same wing panel line, and light location improvements as this one.

I just fixed a misalignment with the wing reflection maps for both the malcolm and bubble versions. It's a minor visual improvement, but it does make the wingtip lights look more like glass. If yours don't, and you're interested, you may want to get them again. Sorry about all the evolving changes...

[MajorMagee]

Once approved, this one is appropriate for MAW or ETO.

This is a reworking by MajorMagee of the AH original package to make it more compatible with AnKor's Shaders, increase the texture resolution, add panel line bump maps, create lights and special effects, and to clean up some of the mapping irregularities.

This package includes two variations, one with the original AH color scheme, and the other with more neutral colors (as seen in the attached image).
You should only install one, or the other, but not both at the same time.

After all that blind tweaking of the AH textures, I decided to start the mapping over again from scratch.

Given enough time, hopefully I'll end up with a usable Paint Kit for them.


Gridded with 64 pixel squares over five 2048x2048 textures.

[FOO FIGHTER]

Yikes! Different parts of the texture rendered in different scales. Ran into that before and ain't looking forward to aligning all of the pieces together. Having said that, the AH P-47 is superior to the stock version and wouldn't mind taking a stab at painting the bubble top at some point.

[MajorMagee]

I found a reference showing that the majority of the P-47 produced in 1944 switched from the earlier N3B reticle to the Mk8.

For the Malcolm Hood version that would be:

<Effect Type="Track" EffectName="US_Navy_Mk8_gunsight" PosX="0.045" PosZ="-1.20" PosY="1.060" Pitch="90.0" MinVel="-999999" MaxVel="999999"/>

Then, starting with P-47D-28-RE they switched to the K-14, as used in the Bubble Top version.
