No point.

Unless the model is set up with effects attached to it, you would still get the same problem.

Sally, just a thought: Go above 10,000 feet and see if the landing lights are still on. I remember an ICAO recommendation to keep landing lights on below 10,000 feet (although we don't use it in the Belgian AF). I wouldn't be surprised if the AI aircraft adopt this rule and switch landing lights on...

Could try this Nick - c_gearlight is a part name that only turns the taxi light on when its 'deployed'. Used it on the T-38's. Using that as a parent for a LIGHT_LANDING poly might have the same effect. [edit] Just realised - As we used model based taxi and landing lights, c_gearlight wont help with...

Still really only two ways of 'fixing' them - 1) Texture the invidual polys. 2) If for example its a lower face poly - Select ALL the polys on the complete lower surface Spilt them off Texture as you would a normal part. Happens when for example you texture left and right, but have a poly that is pe...

Happened with me at first also.

Now have to manually select the LOD files also.

Some of the guys have it, I'll let them know it's OK to upload to Avsim for you.

Get Gimp.

It supports layers so if you make a mistake you just affect the layer your working on.

Yup it works.

Support sucks though if you run into problems.

Slow I'm afraid.

Gripen FDE was done so went back to that.

T-6 II is still there, but on the slow track until I finish up the Gripen D model.

Noticed something esle as well with FSDS 3.5 For the reflective canopy - As long as you have the glass material (settings as per previous posts) assigned to the part, and the bitmap has an alpha channel you don't need to check the "Has Reflective Texture" option during complie. Seems like ...

YF-16 and Thunderbirds ones are avialable from Avsim, no idea about the Vista one though.

Yes and no.

I found my original paintkit for it.

But no idea now to get it to you, its 20mb+ in size!!!!!

I cannot wait but I will, PATIENTLY. At least this is something to look forward to. As for the SAAF Gripen, it looks awesome! Should I one day decide to start making aircraft textures, what would I need to get started? Thanks C_D A paint program that supports layers - Photoshop Paintshop Pro Gimp (...

I think you'll be more interested by this one Cheetah_D

I know the paint should be on a D model, but they're not finished...yet.

Current rumour is that I am doing an AI Gripen.

Mind you it's only a rumour

There should be, I'll see if I can find out what happened to it.

The problem, as I understand it, when using flyable aircraft as AI is the LOD modeling. With only 1 LOD, you see the aircrafts textures the same from any distance. Thus causing frame rates to drop as your CPU struggles to show multiple aircraft with textures that are highly defined. I did read some...
