You didn't make me unhappy John, just surprised that for P3Dv4 you would be content with a degraded texture, given the quality of the graphics in that sim version. I'm really glad that you have learned how to paint from a layered paint kit. It must be satisfying for you to learn a new skill and It's...

Good to record it here Miljan. I'm also going to add a suggestion from Steve for the Pakistan AFJF-17 so I don't lose it and also the LC-130H recently mentioned.

Good to see you are getting there John. You convert the texture in the same way you did for the Dxt5 as the source. Once you have the paint done in PSP, save a copy as a .bmp file. If you are using the paint kit it will be in 2048 x 2048 format. Load that into PSP and resize it (smart resize) to 102...

MIL_CARGO is assigned in my aircraft.cfg file and that should tally with all the scenery AFCADs that Brent has produced for the models.

I'm just starting the texture mapping stage for the new project Miljan, so it's certainly invalid for the time being. However, I want to review all the suggestions for the project after that one, and what's in this thread will be really useful. It might be helpful to spill the beans on the current p...

It's interesting for mew too Asdro, but I'm not quite ready to reveal it yet.

I'm glad you are just dreaming Asdro.

Sorry Asdro, misread the question.

John

Asdro, read the last two lines of my first post.

The Cats are supplied as "aircraft only" - they will fly somewhere if you make the water AFCADs and flight plans.

John

One of the reasons for switching to FSX/P3Dv4 is the far superior graphics qualities compared to FS9. It's a bit of a pity to forego the RGB paint kit and repaint a Dxt5 texture and compress it again. The degredation is quite noticeable.

John

Jetrange, sorry I missed that one, which is a bit of a pity because it does have some interesting features, but it's a lot of work. I would also need to research the available scenery and flight plans. I needed a break from the C-130's and I'm now refreshed and knee deep into the next project, but I...

No problem, I have all the files you sent. I've sent you a couple of observations in the reply.

Apologies John, it's not in my sent items either so I guess it didn't go. I've just re-sent it and I can now see it.

John

I've PM'd you my e-mail address John, so that should make it easier for you to send me what you want to.

John

They are all available in FSX native code Chris, so they should work fine in P3Dv4.

John

My pleasure John. Sounds like you have an affinity with the subject and that's always good to design for. Will you be sharing anything?

John

Following a request to update my previous land-based AI Consolidated Catalina to enable the model to operate on water, I was happy to oblige. I also took the opportunity to make some improvements along the way. Two variations are included in the package which is for FS9 and FSX/P3Dv4: https://i.imgu...

Concerning the C130 model list where can i find infos about the differences of each model? Well as a start, you could scroll backwards through the posts in this topic and look at the screen shots. Wiki also gives a useful overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_C-130_Hercules To delve deep...

John, I believe Brent is quite advanced with modern day FS9 and FSX/P3Fv4 versions of KNFW, using his retro Carswell scenery as the start point.

I don't know if there's any scope for putting two heads together?

John

Just to round off the C-130's, I've uploaded version 2 packages (FS9 and FSX/P3Dv4) for the MC-130's at Kadena, Japan. There was a problem with the spelling of "drogues" in the model.cfg files that was preventing the aircraft assigned these models from showing. In some of the folders, the ...
