Damn, that is good  

How did you get the texturing on the Pyro, etc, so good?

Do you use something like UVWrapper to reduce the no. of tex files you need?

Mainly because I'm working on a new bomber and I want to get the texturing perfect (or at least good) for it.

[Nico]

Nope, not at all. for the GL, for example, the original one (the one in Descent3) used 20 maps. I didn't really want to mess with that many maps, so I just used Modelview and make captures of the top, bottom, side and back view, plus one for the engines intakes. I made maps out of these screens and then applied them where needed on the model. to place them right, I just play with the UV mapping gizmo placement and size. I do this for all my models (exepted the modelview part, I could do that only for 3 ships, the other maps are all done from scratch and with good use of real material scaning -I usually scan lots of things, from an old rusty electric engine to my own arm lol- and maps grabbed ftom other sources)

[aldo_14]

Well, it obviously works well  

I'll have to try that, cheers.

Bingo  

But could someone tell me how to make these rings to spin? I added that:
$special=subsystem
$name=Back habitation ring
$rotate=-5.1
, checked the rotate around z axis box in modelview ,it rotates in mview, but not in FS2

do you have it as a subsystem in the tbl file?

[Jabu]

You got the table entry right for the subsystem?

[Nico]

To be honest... I don't know. I just put that:

$Subsystem:                     Back habitation ring,            2,3.0
$Subsystem:                     Front habitation ring,            2,3.0

Carl's new effects add a lot to the pics I must say, those glows are much better (ok, on this one, it's not quite obvious   )

RE:  space station - did you add an fov to the submodel properties?

(i.e. fov=360)

[KillMeNow]

hmmmm increase the first value or the rings willb e very easy to destroy andput the second value 2 zero for the table entrys - that might work - thats how they suppose to be set but not sure if it would be enough to make them not work
