Yes, but not only me. Paul has pallid red colours on his screen(shot) also :)

I think he meant not the paint/markings but the final ingame visual...HDR makes it too pallid. Real paints have more vivid colours. As i see red/redish colurs are not displayed correctly ingame :( http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/McDonnell-QF-4N-Phantom/0618476/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/McDonnell-QF-4N-Phantom/1224828/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/McDonnell-Douglas-QF-4S/1157163/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-QF-4G/0724153/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/McDonnell-QF-4B-Phantom/0697090/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-QF-4G/0650846/L/&sid=a8b5ffbc19144f77ef614d7dc87a7a4f

Nice model :thumbup: I like your size comparison image :D ...with 190 tons this dinosaur is not a fast mover

Yes, that is AAM-4 Mitsubishi-AMRAAM under left intake. AAM-N-6 Sparrow (under right intake) has larger wings and smaller fins than wings - AAM-4 has opposite size of wings/fins, moreover the body of AAM-N-6 is a bit wider than AAM-4. Under left wing you can see an "ordinary" sidewinder (with larger rear wings) not an AAM-3 just same on this image - you can see clearly the differences between AAM-N-6-rear and AAM-4-front. (1st pic) AAM-4 (2nd pic) others: Sparrows on last image you can see an inert Sparrow - no yellow (warhead section) and brown (propulsion -rocket motor section) vertical stripes, also missing brownish/rust coloured proximity fuze horizontal stripes/windows on guidance section...so from (that) a distance we cannot see is there a live or inert/training missile (IMHO: live all http://i.imgur.com/YZLHcPa.jpg?1 )

yeah, coz IRIS made it, however Spanky can't bring the model into DCSW coz of contract issues: the model itself was from another developer :(

or the beer :drunk::beer: HBD :smilewink:

Yeah, have a nice B-Day Gavin :thumbup: :beer::cheer3nc::animals_bunny::punk::drunk: :flowers: :holiday::drink::sorcerer::D and You too Peter for This Day ;)

Yes, he's the Project Development Manager and the Director of Eagle Dynamics

...Maybe ;) Sign me up too :lol:...i am on it :D That's true :P Nothing is easy to change/make better in DCSW but sometimes boring :megalol: (usually i change to other project when i stuck with something, but processes of other/newer projects often bring solutions for stuck projects also) 4xmpl: this morning I woke up with an idea in my head: to make afterburner flames more real looking. After a quick brainstorm :) i decided i want to see much more bright AB at night (currently daytime AB flames brighter than flames in night time which is nonsense/preposterous) So, right now i am "playing" with forsage: materials, single and dual sided textures, chrome effect, shape correction/modification of original model, using other models for flame etc. All can bring different visual results (images later) Future idea: animated flame (shaky/quaky/wavy animations) ...yeah, after it i will jump back to "old airport lights corrections"...maybe tomorrow/next week ;)

Vapour escalate: Not yet however that's the future/final plan: different effect intensity by different AOA/Gs level: more intense/larger animated textures and larger/different 3D shapes for textures FPS: With 3D smoke/vapour puff (calculated): Yes, slightly With animated textures: Nil Thanks...and some other screenshots from yesterday

Ok Folks...Thank You for comments and ideas but please don't forget i am not finished it yet. Yep, needs tweaking more a lot, especially adjusting textures which are essential things for those vapour clouds. I try to make/tune better textures (alpha channels and contrast are most important) while i also adjust 3D model sizes/form (fuselage, wings, wingtips) to make more aircraft specific condensations for more ACs such as Su-25s, Su-27s, MiG-29s, F-18s, F-16s etc. ...and i am working on texture animations and smokes also which will visualize the vapour flow ...and at the and these will need serious lua works to show correct vapor intensity by speed and angle of attack (meanwhile humidity/moisture is also one of the most affecting element IRL, 4xmpl: no strong condensations in Nevada but there are the strongest in Florida/Virginia, Wales/Scotland or overwater)... not mentioning transonic condensations: suberbugs can create spectacular effects IRL Too much ? ? ? Those were just some weak effects, here are some really strong High-AOA, High-Gs effects: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Fairchild-A-10A-Thunderbolt/1253111/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1542956/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super/2009400/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15C/0654843/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Grumman-F-14D®-Tomcat/1117021/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Grumman-F-14B-Tomcat/1852777/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/General-Dynamics-F-16CG/1257519/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Lockheed-Martin-F-22A/1268710/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Lockheed-Martin-F-22A/1202738/L/ High-speed transonic vapour effects: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super/0678739/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super/0930783/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super/1159756/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18F-Super/1198564/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Navy/Boeing-F-A-18E-Super/1974306/L/ Strong Welsh wingtip vapour trails: simply amazing http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1669789/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1628471/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1590572/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1348975/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1334058/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Boeing-F-15E-Strike/1181610/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/1104859/L/ http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/Boeing-F-15E-Strike/1099472/L/ Vapour trails and heat blur: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA---Air/McDonnell-Douglas-F-15E/2240105/L/ others here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=215704&highlight=vapour#post215704 I need couple more days and i will show you Fuselage/airframe condensation unfortunately not works since Flanker2 (however still in DCSW DLLs ) moreover nor wingtip trails since 1.2.1 but i hope i will able to bring them back If i finished texture tweaking and texture animations i will make a short video but you know im not a video guy: they are Glowing Amraam and SlamRaam You know: I'm the screenshot guy :D so...here are some earlier/previous shots with less mist on wings (unfortunately contrast is too low: vapour looks plastic a bit on the Warthog) ********************************************************** more white, more contrast on textures makes vapour bit more real but less transparency: hard to find nice balance

A few unedited images...

...Both, actually: edm, dds and lua works but unfortunately textures are not good enough to me...been dealing with them for three days, but still far from completion :ermm:

For FC3/DCSW only, I think. :unsure:

-- ^ Thank You Zach

How can i remove (new) MAX plugin ? Id like to use an older plugin coz i dont like the new always-diffuse-shift effect (v.71641) (i think this is builtin the plugin :( ) TY

There are strobe, anti-collision and rotating lights almost on all aircrafts, but E.D. not programmed (LUA) yet into game, however it's very easy ;) maybe they are waiting for EDGE too :)

Basically there are five methods to modify "things" to look more shiny: 1. Changing effects in fx. files - of course it will affect spectacle of the whole DCS world 2. Changing livery datas/values in description files 3. Changing specular textures of model 4. Changing material and property settings in the model file 5. Changing material and map settings in 3DS MAX http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?p=1601655#post1601655 The upshot:

Nice job again Cato and Kyle :thumbsup:

Chris, do you think of these earlier shots ? http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1565746&postcount=86 http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1567186&postcount=93 http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1567192&postcount=94 http://forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1601655&postcount=122 Unfortunately, i not finished it yet because i still have problems with afterburner textures if i animating nozzles seperately - i am still waiting for Alex answers, however i have some new ideas which worked magicly in FC2 few months, so i feel i will need to "convert" some LUA words into FC3 format too :) You know, nowadays i am a little busy with editing scenery files, correcting other models, and i started to learn 3DS-MAX - bringing some new weapons into DCSW, maybe ;) ...and im also correcting old models such as this MiG-23 (missing illuminated textures and wrong LOD visibilities) This is how it looks now with default afterburner flames (navigation lights a bit over-illuminated by me on the images, so i will correcting back these) Couple months more and i am going to release a corrections-pack

Yes, im back (been a while) and Soganlug airbase is also back in lights - WIP: misalignment and colour corrections Some WIP/test screenshots:
