Hop, bump map for the main body, top section is done
I've filled the bumps with a dark colour so you can see the lines, but it won't be that visible in the end.

Besides, OS is meant for newtonian physics, I was willing to forget about that point back then, but not anymore.

Pst....Newtonian physics are semi-possible in fs2....

[Nico]

Can't be done the way I want.

[Unknown Target]

How do you want it done?

[Nico]

Why do you want to know? it can't be done, it won't be done, so I won't bother.

[Unknown Target]

I've done some nifty stuff with the tables, and I want to see if it REALLY can't be done.

[Flaser]

UT nt-physics begin with no upper speed limit, so it's impossible right now.

[Unknown Target]

Pretty simple to fix. Create a super-high, nigh-unreachable speed limit on every ship, something like 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 99999999999999999999999999999999.

Of course, for gameplay purposes, that'd be pretty boring.

[Nico]

If that was the only pb, that would be simple

[mikhael]

Venom, the update looks very snazzy. But what gets me is the render with the overwing weapon pods. That's awesome and really really really needs to be my new wallpaper. 1600x1200 please.

[Nico]

That could be done, but, herm, you sure? I understand you have no pb with the old mesh, but the messy maps?

edit: that said, it's not really difficult to switch the hulls and engines. Ok, I'll do a couple fiddling and i'll post your wallpaper

[mikhael]

From that angle you don't really see the messed up maps. I guess I'll wait though.

[Nico]

there you go:

Hop, last update for tonight I think:

and for fun, with the quad Volcano gun setup:

[Ace]

Personally, I think a dark grey (nearly black) color with the cockpit having a red hue would look best.

It would match with the USAF's current aircraft design idea, and red light is better for low-light vision.

[Nico]

well, it changes colours at about every shot I do, now, so I guess it's gonna be black sooner or later .
I should rename it cameleon
edit: as for the red cockpit, I just tried, it looks trully awful.

[Drew]

meh, looks GDI-ish......
but nice still, best color sceme so far, keep the colors if your gonna abandon the USAF theme

[Flaser]

Uh....it's an overkill issenit?

[mikhael]

There's no such thing as overkill.

Looks good Venom. What's going on with the belly? Have you decided what you're going to do under there?

[Nico]

Flaser: yeah, it is
It's for fun, that thing would never carry all that ( at one exception, but shhh ).
It's a stealth light ship,  it's not meant to carry super heavy assault weapons

The belly? I had ideas, they didn't work out the way I wanted, I'm back to the darn drawing boards now. Same goes for the area beatween the two back engine pods.
