Yeah so far everyone seems to like the first set of wheel pants the best.

same here it matches the fuse better

 

[technoid]

I just finished mapping the wheel pants now I need to add a couple of test stripes and 1x1 map them. Then it looks like I'm finished I don't have anything else waiting to do to it.

 

[Happycat]

Oh boy Oh boy!! It's coming It's coming!!???

 

[technoid]

I updated the color scheme for the wheel pants and did the 1x1 mapping for them too. I still need to update the Spec Map for the wheel pants but I'll do that tomorrow these days I work in short bursts.

The best artisans know how to pace themselves. Case in point.

Here's a color scheme I'm working on. I don't know if it will be the release CS or one I release for it but hopefully it will be available at release. It uses the same normal map template I used for the RAF SE5a.

 

[space boy]

same normal map

the ribbed wings are really nice.

 

[Happycat]

Your RAF SE5a, was another masterpiece!

 

[BrokeDad]

It'll be nice to paint the feet something but red. I kinda like the RAF FE2b prop on this one. You notice I used that in my AV. Nice touch on the CS. I assume you are using transparency like in the past.

I thought you used the Master Air Screw to get some extra speed? Did you change the engine or up the power setting? I'm using the Normal Map I used on the SE5a for the ribs I had to rework it for this plane but it's the same style. It's the style I borrowed from DHK79's Bristol F2b I reworked it completely but it's the same style.

I did use the Master Air Screw the AV for the alpha but changed it on the latest one. It's just as fast. I think maybe I may make the wood part dark and create a new prop variant. Like you I'm always tinkering with stuff.

Edit: Yeah it looks better on this with black and silver tips.

 

[technoid]

Here's the new color scheme with the ribs give it a try and let me know what you think.

Thanks Technoid the wing rib detail looks great.

 

[BrokeDad]

Cool CS thanks . I've gotten another 10mph out of my prop by customizing it. It's a wicked handful but tons of fun.

Thanks I like it too but I think I'll use the normal color scheme for the release and upload the new color scheme with ribs at the same time. I'm not sure but I might prefer the plain CS the best. It definitely looks good with the ribs on it though.

I've never did anything with a prop so how do you get the extra speed out of it?

 

[space boy]

fairy dust

This plane didn't have a collision mesh so I added one this morning. I'm going to lighten the tint in the windscreen a little and then it will be finished. Ha.. I really like flying this plane I'm simple minded so it works for me.

 

[asj5547]

The collision mesh will be good for RF-X, yes it imports into RF-X okay and fly's great, just has a bit of frame stutter ground handling due to no mesh.
Great model Technoid I am enjoying it a lot.
