RICARDO

hello, of course if someone knows how to change mapping zones, and create different files to map theses areas, i would be interested..... another litlle bug that i noticed is the way 3D light reacts with dark surfaces. the hud panel turns grey without any dark lines and forces as soon as a direct sun light hit it. nothing to to to correct that effect, the only way would be to soft the lighting effect. I have finished today the two low panels, right and left and the right back panel and seat. next step, nigh light....

thanks for your support guys, sometime i feel lonely with this mod :crash:

As i said, i underestimate the work on the pit, i will finish next week the right low panel, then i will need one more week to do night lights. I worked on some details i didn't expect to rework at the begining (seats, lamps) i will take one more week to review all files and correct some details. so i will probably release at the end of january. you'll need to be a bit more patient :joystick:

thks bucic :thumbup:

i notice in game that the 3D engine softens shadows and lighting effects of mapping when they don't match with the light source. in 90% of game use, it work's with a mutch more realistic perception than the original version that doesn't have any shadows. That was the reason of that rendering choice. But, Bucic, i would apreciate that after spending more than 300 hours on thoses pits, that you keep for you those "anyway, i don't like it so i will correct everything with photoshop as soon as the pit will be released" :D just a question of respecting other's work. thks

still wip guys, i am in africa, i have to cope with big waves and the mod. sometime i prefer to surf instead of photoshoping:music_whistling: but i am on side panels and it looks great (for me) next step night lights and i will go on details. probably a bit of delay on release but with ED you are use to it:smilewink: happy christmas from senegal.

unfortunatly, ed didn't took time to give a real texture to thoses areas. they decided to use such a small part of a file that it is like using only few pixels as a color reference. i told you, that 3D pit is a nightmare....:doh:

hello, as you asked, the "large screen" cheers.

hello dragon, i will use the orange light but i will desaturate a bit and probably dark it. i will use my chrismas hollyday to work on the night part of the pit.:smartass:

wip screens thank's for your help griffin, here comes the wip screens. lot of new details, handles, wires to conect dashboard lamps, data link buttons, and all the right high panel. that's all for tonight

hello, i need some help on details to move foreward. if someone can write in cyrilic the inscription wich is on the alarm box:thumbup: i also still look for the file where the frame indicated on the screenshot is located. [ATTACH]45077[/ATTACH] you'll have some screenshot sunday. cheers.

:santa::yes:

cpy that.:thumbup:

hi, sorry about the 25 pit, but the only pit i worked on was a 25T. was it that one?

hello guys, the references lights i have been using for lights : [ATTACH]44689[/ATTACH] if it is a completely different type in kamov 50, tell me. some of the references i have been using for the weathering effects. [ATTACH]44690[/ATTACH] bucic, the choice of a weathered cockpit is an artistic choice, i know that some, would prefer a brand new one, but as i used to work in modelling, in my mapping work i like to work this way. 3D is cold and by using theses scratches and "paint retoutch" i have the feeling that the pit looks more alive. keep in mind that most of the time in flight you look at theses details from a certain distance. it is important to increase a bit the scratch and weathering detail to have a global perception of them when you are flying the kamov. Keep in mind that you are looking at still shots, i am flying with this pit for monthes and the feeling is really different. "To be honest I didn't like one of your previous works as it looked like taken from under water and covered in flour afterwards." mmm, bulcit wich pit are you talking about? i will take a fresh look at it .:smartass: thanks for all you comments, and i understand that with the high level of price that this addon will be released some of you could be quiet demanding...:D

hello bucic, the UV-26 buttons, are made of hard plastic and i found some interesting aging effect with plastic that makes it delaminating like scale. for the ir alarm warning buttons, i used the head of alarm buttons from su 22 pits. if you have some references, it would be usefull.

wip screens hello, few screens from this week end work.

hello, sorry about the russian version but i will let the community do the mod. As it is not my native language it would takes too much energy and time to do it. i prefer to spend my time on pure mapping work. :(

hello guys, the pit project is getting close to it's end, but i will release just after chrismas hollidays. i will use my vacation to finish details to give you the best product as possible. cheers :smartass:

NEW PICTS thanks a lot for you suport.:thumbup: i spent a lot of work on that dashboard, and here are some results.... on the alarm box, i need in cyrilic block letters, the inscription...(russian help needed):music_whistling::helpsmilie: that's all for today. tomorow i will work on the flare box, the datalink, and the lazer warnin receiver. cheers:smartass:

wip screens hello, a couple of screens from the mod wip. as i said in my last post only jauges are done, the background panel still low rez. cheers

hello guys, don't worry about this mod, i am working hard on it. all the jauges are finish, and i am now working on the dashboard file. still a couple of big questions i can't answer. on the dashpanel file, (tga) the alpha layer doesn't seems to work like a normal tga file but like a bmp. i am going to egypt for a week, i will post some screens when i will be back. cheers.

thank's, it works.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

hello Panzerhard, do you know where i could find the FC2 version1.2.0 ? i have found only the 1.2.1 on the net, it seems that everybody goes strait to the evolution.

thank's a lot Panzertard for this new option in my quest :smilewink: i am going to try this tonight.:thumbup:
