Re: Ordnance and B & C.3dz

Can you drop one at a time?
Salvo port and or starboard?

Otherwise, very nice indeed. Great work in progress...

Re: Valentia

Looking good with one comment.
From the shots posted the lower nose needs to be rounded a wee bit. It looks like the lower left chin has a zit. The upper section and cockpit look very good to me. All in all, this is a very good looking project.

Re: BMP skins

When painting 8-bit 256 color skins the keystone color is located in the first position top left of the pallet. It can be any color you choose. Pink, lime green, even white. The color you use is up to you. Pretty much all of the .bmp unit skins are mine and all have a black keystone regardless of 8-...

Re: BMP skins

When doing BMP skins the keystone color (for transparencies) is black. That is why the Fortress I had a green cockpit and nose because the tex.tpc first used was from the 8-bit tex.tpc (lime green keystone). I reloaded the skins with specific bmp and 8-bit 256 folders with the correct black keystone...

Re: Transparency files

Ray, the prop glitch is 1.6. The model was designed for 1.28 and not given a cockpit. I didn't experience any issues with the model in that exe, the props rendered correctly there. The changes in 1.6 have made for glitches in more than one plane. The model uses P110cPEX.tpc with P110cPRA.TPC for the...

Re: Transparency files

The 12 or so He-177s of KG100 have been in my folder at the ftp for several years. Both the day version and the night camo from Steinbach. they all have been flown successfully in 1.28-9. They are finished without a cockpit. Alan never finished the model. https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/2234/ob9j...

Re: Transparency files

The wing view issue came with the B-17 model. That is the only model that had that problem I was aware of. I didn't try to fly the B-26 but did comment on the wing display problem on the 17 when I was painting the 100th Bomb Group. But, since the 17 was mainly a target my calls for help went unanswe...

Re: Aircraft for Mogggy's Dunkirk v1.60+

Thanks Ray, the skin is falling into place.

I have made a few small changes to the camo, moved a line here and there and moved the Latin lettering a bit. Working on the finishing touches now.

Where is the B-24J?
Have I missed the forest for the trees again?

https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/7e5e/b28aaavvj49boab6g.jpg The A is finished and B 3dz is just being started. I've a bit of diddling to do first. I extended the radio mast a bit and need it moved toward the forward hard point. I had to do a wee bit of realignment but all is well. I will finish th...

Re: Aircraft for Mogggy's Dunkirk v1.60+

Ray, the Bloch is coming along nicely. The rear fuselage looks good with only a few minor tweaks so far. It has taken a bit longer than I hoped. Mainly because I have crashed the planeA.3dz 3 times and lost my tweaks. The last time was a double loss. I save 2 copies each time I make a change only I ...
