Hi Mark,

thanks for the suggestion. Will give it try.
Just to be sure, i make a duplicate layer of the included panel line layer? And this one i need to blur right?

Cheers,

Edwin

Wow, that is fast Looking good.

Edwin

very nice!! Hope it will work in FSX.

:D Thanks guys, i have the panel lines at 30% as stated in the paintkit. But i added another layer to simulate dirt coming from the panel fasteners, rivets, panel doors etc. But that was a bit too much maybe :D . I will tone them down a bit or remove them completly. Still a lot more aircraft to do, ...

Hi guys, after getting so much help from you guys i thought i would show my appreciation by contributing to the community myself. So i started to dive into photoshop and John's fantastic A-10 :D Here a some results. Tell me what you think of it. Tips, hints and comments are welcome. Hope you like th...

Awesome looking model John!!

Hi Tim, i don't think the ETNS file is corrupted because as i deactivate the GEN & GES in the scenery library everything is okay. As for the elevation problem, normally i run the elevation thingy from ORBX vector wich solves most of the elevation problems. I didn't do that when ik took the last scre...

Tim, thank you for your answer. Then maybe i should start with sketchup and then later on switch to blender when i gained some experience. I was indeed afraid of a steep learning curve that's why sketchup popped up as my favourite. i accidentally stumbled on soarfly concepts youtube channel a few da...

Oke guys, now i'm lost, I did as you said and disabbled the etns and etsb entries in the ORBX folders. Full of hope i fired up FSX and gues what? nothing changed!! :shock: Solution was not as simple as i thougt. Any other ideas? on a positive note, i solved the black building issue :D Cheers Edwin

PM send John.

Cheers,

Edwin

Thanks for your answers guys.
So i probably leave sketchup for what it is and will look into blender for creating my own objects.
Are there any good tutorials covering the welding of texture vertices, minimise drawcalls etc.

cheers,

Edwin

No problem Tim!!

i never thought about ORBX versions of the airfields haha. Sometimes the solution can be that simple
I'm glad you took the time to help me.

Cheers,

Edwin

Then it has several sketchup objects which are not optimized for performance to put it mildly.
Henk.

What has one to do to optimise a sketchup object for use in FSX Henk?
i'm thinking of trying to make objects/ airfields by myself.


thanks in advance.

Totally agree with you here Manschy! I would love to see a Buchel, Schleswig or Witmund scenery Manschy style!! Hint hint!!

Thanks Henk,

will give that a try soon.

Hi Tim, i checked for FS9 traffic files and none were found. So with no clue what to do with the tornado's i moved on and installed a spangdahlem scenery for FSX and gues what?? the same thing :shock: So that got me thinking it was not caused by the schleswig and Buchel sceneries. I did some more te...

Hi Tim,

thanks (again ) for your answer. I have the global object library installed and activated so that shouldn't be the problem i guess.

As for the traffic, i downloaded the P3d version so that should contain the right FP's. But i will check to make sure.

Cheers,

Edwin

Hi there, i just tried to get the german tornado package (with the new tornado model) to work in FSX. But after installation of all the needed libraries and textures in got a really weird background at both schleswig and buchel. It looks like a large parking lot :oops: Also i have multiple objects s...
