can you use normal FS a/c as AI iu was thinking of using FS2000 aircraft? Yes you can with mods to the FDE, but it has two MAJOR drawbacks - 1) High poly count 2) Single LOD 2 is particularly important - A single LOD basically means even if you are seeing the aircraft from a long way off it is stil...

Kevin "Weescotty" Reed Too old to rememeber how old I am, born in Edinburgh, now back in Scotland after a very enjoyable 7 years or so in the States. Late starter with FS2000 but got bored flying around all by my lonesome. Came across PAI and suddenly the skies were full of other aircraft...

Bit OTT

Well........ I can promise the Gripen. Basic single seat clean model and LODs are complete, just LODing the weapons now. All the usual stuff from MAIW modellers, plus realistic working canards that also double as brakes during touchdown. FS2004 pic of it on the main page, just wait for it to come up.

Awesome - these T-38s have the new canopy glass like the F-15s. Sweet! Would this model file be backward compatable with the T-38s that have already been released? Or would it require updated textures to get the nice glass look? This base sure is busy now that the tweets have some company. The othe...

Jake sent me his model and I was looking at it.

Couldn't work out what was going on.

This a bug in 3.5 or was it also in 3.0, as I have never had this happen to me?

[edit] I can confirm though that doing a 'Fix Surface Normals' DOESN'T fix this particular problem with his aircraft - I'm at a loss.

Don't remember it exactly but - A British Airways pilot who was a Lancaster veteren of WW2 landed at Berlin airport. He asked the ground controller for directions to the gate. The ground controller snapped back "Haven't you ever been here before?". "Yes" replied the pilot, "...

Kevin do you have any tips for getting the camo lines to appear smoother, not so pixelated? Your's look pretty good. In trying to make camo textures for my Humvees, I still have issues with the camo colors showing too much pixelation. Few ways - Do it with non blurred edges then use blur or blur mo...

HT's Viper.

Cant' post the texture, shoot me P.M. with your email.

Enjoy.

Something along these lines

Watch this space .

Nice.

I guess you'll be waiting for the MAIW AI version then,,,see below.

'Should' come in a variety of weapons loadouts.

edit: doesn't seem to work in v3.51 on my models.

Must make sure you are ONLY selecting 2 points.

'Add points' is now and only ever has been available in template mode. Nope, it is also available in point mode. Choose two points Click add point Adds a point midway between the two selected points. Only way I've found of using it outside of templates. IMPORTANT - Delete the poly that is associate...

Glad someone knows what's going on.

I believe the lights are built into the model and can't be changed without modifying the model, something you can only do with access to the source file.

Well I'm having a blast right now. Not sure my wife appreciates me hogging the desktop computer so much. :P But once you get on a roll you want to keep going. One thought I had was to create AI versions of some of the vehicles and have them "drive" around on the roads I've created around ...

I gotta learn to do LODs for my stuff. I just need to sit down and figure it out.

You can do LODs for scenery in FSDS correct??

LODs for scenery were 'broken' in FSDS 3.0, don't know if they were fixed for 3.5.

Hey John, thanks for the heads up, but I don't have that model. I also think that there is probably something in the actual model along with some xml coding that allows this. Weescotty has suggested a method for doing this but I don't know what it is and have not been able to find the thread. Its p...
