Yes it is.  If you have something switch to LOD1 at 1000m, then at the highest detail level, it'll switch at 8000m.  at the lowest it'll switch at 125m.

I think what he's done with the gunbarrels is good: the angular, layered barrels fit with the hull itself.  Prominent round barrels would look silly on such an angular ship.

I love the Ursa, and I'm glad it's getting such a cool facelift. :)

Heh, looks like 8" guns on that thing at least :)

It is looking great!  I was wondering if the cockpit was big enough for side by side seating, but I see you went with tandem seating.  Cool stuff.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

That's gotta be one of the funniest things I've seen all week. Definitely tempted to put it in the highlight when you finish this sucker. :D

Perhaps the barrels would look better with the edges beveled.

Don't forget to point the turret forwards!!

This must have been a bear of a task!! :)

Personaly, i think i've decided to keep the guns the way they are, there might be some minorr modifications, but that's it.

Pwesonaly, to me the trianular bit isnt the actual barrel, just a shroud, like some russian smg in WWII had a square shroud around it's round barrel.

actualy, mabye not.

That's great work!  Chances of getting it UV'd and skinned by the next vp patch? ;)

Does the rear turret work properly now?
