About bloody time!

updated textures for 32 GAF A400M Atlas have been sent to the hanger with a flight plan, not so sure it will be a "realistic FP" Asdro
but its better than nothing.

Hello Ray.

Thanks for the update. I will check the FP and will respond to you. Currently i have some Real world issues which have high priority.


Are you going to make updates also for the other nations like Turkey UK ect?

Thank you very much.

there's no need for you to check the flight plan and get back to me !

Me thinks that the afcad for ETNW needs to be amended to cope with the rather large number of bodies there now.

Thank you for the updated German Atlas textures.

Do all the textures use the crew door model? I ask because all of the textures are not listed in the new cfg file.

Edit: Never mind. I see where the missing cfg entries are

thank you Joe

yes all the models are crew door my personal choice, but these can be changed to users choice.

For FS9 users they will have to amend the cfg file as we only had one model.

ooops my bad i've not got FS9 sorry for those that have to change it.
i will remember for the RAF, BAF and Lux ones

Not a big deal, Ray.

I have done a minor update to MAIW MATRIX ETNW for P3Dv4 with more parking if I’m allowed to post it on the forum. It’s not fantastic but it’s better than nothing !

7 more RAF airframes have been sent to the hanger, making 22 in total.

Thanks for the RAF additions Ray. BZN looking very full now. I might have to add some more aprons/parking to my crappy ADE so I can fit them all in !

your welcome

Hello

Today i was updating the A400M fleet of German AIr Force.

I found out that the latest pack of Ray Parker with 32 repaints, doesnt contain a Lightmap.

I wanted to use the lightmap with the illuminating green stripes which can be found in the

MAIW_NBAI_A400M_Atlas

package.

Unfortunatly the daylight textures in the texture folders of the MAIW_NBAI_A400M_Atlas package, use the same Lightbmp.

The only issue that i have is, that the batches on the fuselages dont match.

Are there specific Lightmps for every nation with specific batches?

This might be worth checking. is one of those lightmaps a dds texture and one a bmp texture?

It might be that you will have to flip the dds one to make a bmp compatible one.

I m using FS9.

I couldn t find any lightbmp. Also not in the FSX and P3D folder.

I use the lightbmp from the first released model and texture folder MAIW_NBAI_A400.

The lightmap has as I mentioned the green stripes and the fron part at the front entry doors
are iluminated. But the problem is the batch.

You should have the following files in each texture folder:

NBAI_A400M_Atlas_Cargo_T.bmp
NBAI_A400M_Atlas_L.bmp
NBAI_A400M_Prop_blurred.bmp
NBAI_A400M_prop_slow.BMP

NBAI_A400M_Atlas_T.bmp

All but the last one are the same for each texture folder. I'm not sure that Nick had any green slime lights on the A400M and I do not see them on the FS9 version. I think they were only added to the FSX/P3D converted model but I'm sure someone closer to the conversion process will confirm or deny this.

OK I am only talking about FS9.

I only have one one NBAI_A400M_Atlas_L.bmp on my system, which is in Flight Simulator 9\Texture folder.
If you want to have it that way, and people do, you can copy the original lightmap into erach folder.

So to be clear is the issue that there are no lightmaps with the new textures or is it that you think that the lightmap needs to be altered? If so, how does it need to be altered?
