Re: The Definitive Typhon
Oh.. the scales are fine. We see them on FS1 ships and they provide a nice break from the purple tech texture that otherwise would just lazily cover the whole thing.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
It could be the (lack of?) lighting, but the glowmap bakes seem a little strong to me - a large part of the top is fuzzy light-blue, a good part of the bottom fuzzy blue. Of course, they may appear differently in-game, that'd have to be checked first.
Other than that, great job. Like mjn.mixael said, the scales are fine. They provide a good change from the main texture, without catching the eye too much (IMHO anyway).

I'm not a fan of the scales. But who really cares?

Re: The Definitive Typhon
This particular style looks really FS2-ish, I suggest to try some alternate ways to texture these parts, maybe one of them will look better.

Dear zombie Jesus.... it's beautiful.

It really captures the essence of the original Typhon while adding so much awesome to it.

Given that this is for FS2, and  that that model is technically the upgraded version of the Typhon with added beams, I'd say it makes perfect sense for it to look FS2-ish.

It still has parts from Trashman's HTL Typhoon [like hangar] but they looks cool after revamp. Good work :yes:.

Really? I suspect not, this model came from RagingLoli.

(and it's typhon not typhoon)

That would imply needing a separate version for FSport. Not that I don't like the model though. I don't really see the problem with scales. o_o

Someone on the team might have a more precise guesstimate, but I feel like the answer to this should be default after all these years: when it's done.

There's no precise way to predict the release dates of these big community projects because the pace at which contributors can work, and the amount of content in the release, are both moving targets.

Personally my wild guess is six months or so, but we'll see.

Interesting assessment since this model came from Ragingloli.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
There's no reson he couldn't have based it on Trashman's though.
As for the new Mediavps release, we can't know for sure, but we can guess that it'll come out not much later than 3.7 or 3.6.14 (whichever designation coders will chose) engine builds.

There's no reason he would have.

3.6.14. 3.7 will be the new pilot code.

Re: The Definitive Typhon
Why do we have sections that were very dark on the original model that are now grey?

I don't care if they're scaled (actually kinda like it) but at least darken them a bit. That grey color just isn't something you'd see on a Vasudan ship.

Isn't some kind of pilot code improvement already in?
I'm sure that Chief managed to add a new keybind (which works quite well), so itn't the new pilot code at least partically in?
