Not too sure whether you got my pm Magpie?

This mod is purely about new textures and moving existing meshes around for the pit. How I wish we could add new meshes.

No PM's recieved, but I gather a few have been sent to me, yet the pigeon has been shot, plucked, based, stuffed, cooked and eaten; before it arrived at my roost... so to speak.

That's cool.

Thanks SG, Diablo, Chris, and Bolox for all the info. I love this site.

Taurus has been carrying the load for a while, and doing a great job. Maybe I could chip in a bit.

Here are a couple of throw-ins I am working on for the beta. I added some bracketing for the N3 sight, and some wiring conduit for the Mk8.

Gunsight accessories for the D10



Gunsight accessories for the D22


I am also trying to sort out java programming, I need to find a decompiler with better fidelity.

Quite disappointing those images I have to say. They look sort of blurry?


Oh, wait, it's the tears I just had to wipe away from my eyes

Thanks for the timesacle update, and seriously thanks for so much effort, cheers, MP.

Guys...I have been away for a few days. Back to work for me. I can't beleive how much i had to catch up on. Things are really looking up. As for the hankies....well we have all gone thru a bunch already in waiting foir this pit and we'll jsut ahve to buy a couple more boxes....LOL She is looking good and from where we began a few more weeks can be tolerated.....albeit with pain. LOL I am so looking forward to this new pit for the ole lady. Keep it up and I know you know you have our support with anything. I really like the looks of that new throttle handle. ~S~ guys.

Many thanks for your input Avala,

I could not work out why my current renders for the new throttle were so lifeless compared to the model displayed on tube. Your prompting on highlighting showed me where I had gone wrong. I had turned down my "sun-light" from 2.6 to 0.6 to check radiance from the panel lights and had not turned it back up. No light was being scattered. :oops: :roll: I think all is back to normal but it means a "better" render on the throttle is needed.

The battery and the magneto switch are the current wip.

Please do not hestitate with any observations.

Cheers,

Taurus.

(P.S. WB Diablo, nice to know the devils' advoacate is back on the job!)

Guys it looks fantastic, Great work

I’m glad that I can help

IMO this will be best looking P47 cockpit in aero simulations so far. (FSX included)

WIP on the pre texture magneto switch modelled, and a revised throttle handle in game. The battery switch based on a resto panel done very early in the piece - ( got caught again! :roll: ) - will add a few more days to adjust.

(Thanks for the kind words Avala, that is quite a compliment coming from someone like you.)

taurus...I ahve to agree with avala. This is going to be the best pit ever even of all the IL2 pits. The fat lady gets prettier each day.
