RAF Coningsby work in progress for Sundowner's awesome PR UK terrain, finally figured out the diffuse effect for the floodlights that avoids the dreaded flickering.

I made 100 serial numbers tgas for a cancelled Westland Lysanders order.
Yet there's no Westland Lysander project, as far as I know.

Fortunately ! Otherwise I should have make historical Lysander serial numbers tgas.

It's a nice aircraft.
(no request here, just nonsense)

I really wonder if administrator members can take a look at what we send each other when working on a project xD

------------------------------
EDIT : I didn't tell you but I continued
49 tgas for a cancelled Beaufighter IIF order

What's wrong with me ?

Working on "Chrome Raptor" (skin work only), actually I think its real coating should be more like a mirror, just because the position of the photographer makes it look white

But it seems that SF2 can't set the texture independently for some areas of the texture to have independent Glossiness/Reflection settings? So I've chosen to draw it white for now, what do you guys think?

[+daddyairplanes 10,232]

maybe a little lighter still, but it wouldnt be pure white imo. notice IRL the fuselage actually makes the radome look dark

agreed that indiv reflection for indiv textures would be nice, although maybe go a little shinier (again, just my 2 cents)

also the vertical tail seems to have tiles (almost like roof shingles really) on the outside on the RL pic. unless its reflecting the wing.....

next PR UK base... RAF Fairford.

[+EricJ 4,241]

Again I wish it was like DCS, where you can spawn in one of those places and taxi to the runway and such. Nice work.

When making a new gunsight, you know you're done when you're blaming again the handling of the aircraft instead of the lack of successful hits.

This is awesome! Because, now, I have this kind of chaff around the ships (I do not remember what happened on this screenshot btw):

[+Cliff7600 1,148]

I was working hard on a very historical skin and then  I don't know, I lost it...

a little update / the anti glare panel is needed for the real bird

Something related but still not the bird I want to do (LOD is done since 18 months)

And this is the bird I wanted to make at first :

Still some details to do

Very WIP moments

I didn't understood why the pictures were so dark. I thought "C'mon it was 1948, they knew how to take a photograph back then" ( / what's wrong with them !?! xD)

And while I was studying the fading of the green paint on black and white pictures, my brain did its daily effort  and I realised : the Spitfires had been repaint in NATO camo colors, dark grey / dark green / PRU blue.

I used these values :

Dark grey / Basalt Grey : hexa 575D64
Dark green / Yellow Olive : hexa 453F2F
PRU blue : hexa 5C7A82

If you have more reliable values for these colors please tell me !

(the tail is in lighter olive green on purpose)

This is looking awsome and we always need more cannon fodder for the F-22! 😆
