[MOD] P-38J Lightning cockpit, with new working gauges v1.3
#30

I don't know the "paste as new layer" key-combo for GIMP, so it would require the use of the menu.

Ctrl+V, followed by Ctrl+Shift+N. Ctrl+H merges the pasted layer into the active layer (as does clicking outside of the selection area). GIMP can be very confusing on this point, because everything is pasted as a new temporary layer (there is no "paste as -> new layer" menu option in my version). To make the temporary layer into a permanent layer, you have to right click the pasted layer and select "layer -> new layer" (or use the key shortcut).

GIMP's user interface is the very antithesis of intuitive and the scripting language is pure pain, but the program itself can be very powerful.


Very nice work on the cockpit, by the way, but even the medium resolution textures give me pretty horrible aliasing when zoomed out.

AHA! Poking around in fb_3do06, it seems that, for some inexplicable reason, mipmapping is turned off for all of the panel textures. I've extracted gauges1.mat through gauges4.mat and changed "tfMipMap 0" to "tfMipMap 1" -- that fixed most of the problem. I'll go through and find the other textures that need mipmapping later.

Great work on the textures, though, thanks!
