Old Archie Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 She's a stunner alright, but she seems to be missing her registration? ie no rego on the fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Harris Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 my goodness....this is absolutely amazing...speechless..... thanks all Edit, yes the reg is missing also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I am currently at work so cant do anything, but will look at the download when i am home and see what is missing. Could someone please include some screen shots of both inside the vc and outside around the aircraft and i can quickly tell whats going on. Cheers, Russ.

Russ White Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks Tim for those shots, i have looked at the texture package i provided to John and it looks like my bad! In the rush to get this out i had to make a few last minute tweaks to the fuselage texture in photoshop and had to hide the reg layer to do so! i then obviously forgot to un-hide the reg layer before exporting as a final texture! So i will do that tonight after work and have the updated file included in the installer for the official launch on the FTX freeware page tomorrow! Phew.... Anyway all the textures are present and correct in the link above, it's just the reg number on the tail missing at the moment, thats all. Cheers guys, Russ.

gwolb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Nice job, just d/l and installed at lunch time, very nice. I was curious if there is an easy way to find out what files need to be copied over to other texture files to just get the HD VC. Think I know all of the files but wanted to double check. Thanks again another great HD job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have just corrected the fuselage texture to show the reg (VH-JDW) so john can include this new texture in the installer when the official release is live from the FTX freeware page.

Russ. Russ, for us Guinea Pigs who already downloaded, could we not just have the affected fike and copy it into the texture folder, or do we uninstall the original and re-download the whole package?

Russ White Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Archie, providing individual texture files goes against the distribution terms that Fernando outlined, so i will not be making any individual files available. The new installer will be up soon so just reinstall with the new package mate. Cheers, Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Baumanis Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Russ, I am downloading now. Started before I saw the posts about texture problems. Will I need to re-download or has the link at the top got all the necessary files now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ White Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hey Paul, there are no texture problems mate, nothing to worry about just a missing reg number on the tail, i left it out the first time round! Just waiting on John to put the official freeware page download and then it will be available from there. http://www.fullterrain.com/freeware.html Not ready yet but will be soon. Russ.

John Venema Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 I have updated the installer to v1.01 which fixes the texture. No time to update the freeware page right now, will do so later today (family life happening ) Just redownload the installer and run it again to fix the texture.

gwolb Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just redownloaded and install, and looks great with the registration showing up now. Just make sure you delete the extra section it puts in the aircraft.cfg file if you have the first version installed. Also, just to let you know Russ, I officially hate you now. You have now totally made every other plane I have, except the HD Mooney look like total crap in comparison to your work!!! Amazing stuff. Even more amazing is I get as good FPS as I do with the default model. Again thanks for all the hard work, and I don't really hate you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heiko Glatthorn Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 That's the most realistic looking aircraft package out there, hands down . Thanks again for your great efforts. I am quiet surprised that i have no FPS impact at all at 4096 - you guys just set the bar very high... What a joy to fly . One small problem i got, while there is no AA problem in the VC or at the exterior model, it doesn't work on the blue stripes at all. The Mooney paint has no AA issues and shows even the smallest stripes as sharp lines. If you like i can provide a pic. I have no idea what causes this, maybe mip maps ?

Russ White Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Many thanks for your comments guys, work like this takes an age to do, i know it's been a long time coming, but now you can see why! @ Mango, i have no AA troubles with the exterior, but i think i know what you mean and is due to 4096 bump maps which contain a mass of detail and may "shimmer" a bit at distance because of it. Embeded mips were not used on these textures as they caused all sorts of issues with bump and clarity at this scale Enjoy! Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squeeker Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 sorry to talk shop but is an embedded mip the alpha channel I see when viewing a texture in DXTbmp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Hi Guys, Thanks very much for the kind words, much appreciated. Russ, I sent a PM to Heiko for some pics so I could see if what the issue is. I know your busy so let me look after this one and let you know how we go.

Russ White Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 No squeeker, a "mip" is a lower resolution verion of a texture that is used. For exampe when you see the ground from a long way off you are actually looking at a smaller resolution texture tile to save memory. When plane texture developing i dont use mips as they detract from the quality due to the fact you are so close to the texture itself, and the main resolution file isnt always used if resources are limited.

big-mike Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 One question--is it possible to enjoy this wonderful cockpit in other paints of the 182RG? Which textures must be changed? Thank you Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Abdey Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Thanks for this, very/very nice work . I am using the older FS9/FSX version of the 182RG and managed to place the textures manually and edit the cfg accordingly and although I may be missing some effects it still seems to work just fine, which I am very pleased about. I find certain, more basic, Anti Aliasing mode don't remove jaggies from paint edges and you need a combined or supersampling mode. I use Combined 8xs through nhancer which helps smooth all visible edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwolb Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I copied all the files except for the ones that have 'fuse' as part of the file name. Fuse indicates that this is part of the exterior fuselage and you would not want that. Worked fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit I copied them all and I don't see any issues in or outside the aircraft – or at least none that I’ve noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
