Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
The new model looks very authentic and awesome compared to the old bat that was once cool to fly in fs1.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
Hmm, hate to break it to ya, fellas, but the glow on the front left side of the Ulysses is floating off of the missile area.

And yet you didn't think about moving it over in PCS and re-posting it?

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
I ran it through PCS and tweaked the location, but it still floats in-game. Lemme get a screenshot.

EDIT: Zacam, show a screenshot of yours in-game, would you?



That's what it looked like before... ****, let me clear my cache.

Again, EDIT: Holy crap, the Ulysses is missing a texture.

Update: Clearing the cache isn't working. I think this might be an SCP bug.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
Cobra, yours matched mine. Look at the post above for the fixed model and cache.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
I figured out what the problem was. Somehow the hi-poly Ulysses' model file was in my FSPort folder. Don't ask. :p

Anyway, kudos, Zacam. Doesn't look weird now. :)

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
Sorry for the bump, but I was looking for a solution to the grey bits on the front edges of the Uly's wings. The link posted above doesn't work. Can we get a repost? Thanks.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
The linked lights fixed Uly is in the MediaVPs.

There was no fix for the grey leading edge.

Someone probably needs to re-map it.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
Hmm. I'm running the latest VPs, and the blue lights are still there where it shouldn't be. I also just quickly checked the mediaVP 3.6.10 release thread, and it's not in there.

As for the grey leading edges, it's a shame that there's no fix for them. Such a good model is seriously marred because the mesh is showing underneath a hole in the skin.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
Are you sure your actually using the latest MediaVP's? Because it _is_ in there.

All 4 cyan glow points exist only on the top two leading edge blue spots. There are no glowpoints set for the 8 under-wing glowmap spots.

Wether or not the surface glows should have glowpoints or the underside shoul receive some is worth debate, but the MediaVP model is fine with the exception of the "grey" missing texture section.

Further, the only glowpoints that had to be corrected where the from (top of the model list) red_glow_small.

Re: Inspiration - HTL Ulysses
My bad. I meant to refer to that tiny bit of blue texture above the surface with the missiles. That looks horribly out of place. It's not a glowpoint, but it looks like a blue light panel in the texture.

But yeah. I really hope that that can be fixed, along with the missing textures.
