+russouk2004 6,959 Posted June 23, 2012 Wasnt happy with cowling and somehow overlooked the venting flaps too,had them on earlier model,so I decided to make it better ...reshaped cowling,just got to finish right flaps,and the engine is flat so redoing that too. New and old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+whiteknight06604 934 Posted June 23, 2012 It's funny how I never noticed there was anything "wrong" with this until you posted this pic. Def a case of improveing something rather than fixing something as far as I'm concerned.Thank you for making all of these excellent improvements to your ALREADY AWESOME P-47.

+warthog64 94 Posted June 23, 2012 The P-47N is incredible Russouk2004! Any chance we might see a new P-47D soon? Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatling20 753 Posted June 23, 2012 Great looking aircraft, thanks Russo. The detail on the new bump mapped rivets is incredible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+russouk2004 6,959 Posted June 24, 2012 Rather than flat engine texture,I decided to revamp it ,looks better imo,just need to map correctly,and add the lower vent ducting,and finish the cowl flaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Jimbib 747 Posted June 27, 2012 Just goes to show, a few extra polys in the right place can help make all the difference! Cracking work Russ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gatling20 753 Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) Great looking work Russ, thanks, looking forward to the new version. If you are working on the P-47N to animate the cowl flaps, can you also have a look at the pylon node name for the fuselage drop tank? There seem to be two in the current LOD, called FrontTankClamps and RearTankClamps, and if no tank is taken on a mission, one or the other still shows up. The aircraft would look cleaner with no stray pipes hanging off the belly on short-range missions. So could you maybe amalgamate these two meshes into one, so the CentrelineStation could have ModelNodeName=TankClamps.
