im losing thread . bw-383 was not?. i read about this somewhere (www.revi.cz/... ?) thx for the colour chart btw. all lods are complete except of some tweaking in from-cockpit-view lod pics tommorow. (no answer from pgmonster so far ) -datel
he, illo, just an idea, wouldnt be great to make new planes in sets for certain scenario. what planes would be suitable for some kind of finnish-russian scenario. we have b239, i-16, i-153, some yaks, what other planes could come in mind. i read about these in interview w/ Ilmari Juutilainen Fokker D.XXI,Gloster Gladiators, Fiat G.50s and Morane-Saulnier MS 406s, were they numerous enough? i read now a book about Brithish FAA => a mediterranean scenario would be nice too (sparvieros, falcos vs. gladiators, swordfishes, fulmars, skuas; surely forgot some) -datel
1. No 383 was just misunderstanding on bad net data. Pictures of 393 that you can find many on net are always orange 9. But before that it was white 7. Plane of aces. 2. Main types. 1939-40 Fokker D.21 Gloster Gladiator 1941-1942 B-239 Fiat G.50 Fokker D.21 Curtiss Hawk 1943-1945 Bf 109g-2 Bf 109g-6 B-239 3. Please if you are still here dont change pilot head position from your latest updatel. You misunderstood me as i requested you to only POST pictures from your LATEST cockpit views.
quote 3/... to resolve it : there are two positions of head: the first one, lying pilot (you didnt like), for which i made all 6-12 views, and the second, the one you like, for which i made _only_ the 12 view. as i posted a moment ago i _will_ make all the remaining views for the second head position. i further suggested .... see, you read it already hope its clear now. -datel
Ok thanks Me stupid..got it. (this is like chat) When brewster is ready get some pics for us to droll over.
@datel- Hehe, nope I only meant that if you will try to turn with anything when this little baby is near you're doomed (too bad it won't fight with i153's in RPS as it happened couple of times IRL though...)
How about Bristol Blenheim bomber for both Brits or Canadian and Finns? Realistically thinking... best would be to have fighter planes for other minor countries. Bulgarian D-520, That camo is sweet. I think bulgarians had over 100 of these. Axis pilots could also enjoy flying this beauty.
By latest info it seems that bw-393 in "white 7" markings had lynx insignia some of time. So with and without is correct.
hi illo, first im sorry for delays (one study is closed this week, and the other closed at 1500 yesterday and today too , how can i work in these conditions...). your ideas are great. im not against any planes youve mentioned. but id like to finish all that i started so far as soon as i return from holiday. ill have to update those b239 colours yet. especially the rudder (i used first blue-green i found; like on the first "white 7" pic you posted). i will send all b239 LODs to pgmonster tonight and post updated b239 views within an hour (im getting careful when time is involved ). yes i agree with these 40fps and even those 25 mentioned below. but i can tell you that i can see my monitor flicker at 60Hz when my eyes are tired. at 80Hz its better. its _definitely_ a waste of computing power to feed a monitor with pictures at higher rate than at monitors refresh rate (thats for sure, maybe its below, but i have no data to proove it). i dont know what may cause the flickering. can it be some interference between those 25Hz an eye can accept and these 80Hz monitor can provide? really dunno? but i can see it, thats for sure. just btw, i would say that the flickering is stronger when i dont look exactely at the monitor but a bit sideways. again dunno. another thing is that a computer w/ a simulator like WB running at 25Hz can check input, compute FM and all the things comps do only 25 times a second which is has also an effect on the gameplay... about time to stop boring you and get to pics posting...
There's an edge in thinking: "The human eye cannot see more than 25 fps." OK! But this means 'ON/OFF' - Frame - No Frame - Frame - No Frame etc. 60Hz is much faster. Its not like 'ON/OFF' for the eye, but like a wave. High - Lower - High - Lower etc. Thats why the eye still can make differences between 60Hz and 100Hz. BTW: At 100Hz, the human eye sees only one picture, mixed from all frames. Its finally too fast for it. But there are exceptions, of cause... Why the hell are these 100Hz TV's so much better and more expensive than 50Hz TV's??????
ok, cicero, why not... , but rather than about on/off i would talk about "on"/"next on" since on/off is just implementation of, say, a cinema projection apparatus. but youre right, its just a note. btw here are some pictures lowest detail pics and a model of shadow
Yes I can see my monitor flicker at 75Hz so i must use 85Hz. Still i see no difference with 30 and 99fps.
Here would be exactly correct markings at time when Luukkainen was pilot. Note shape of 7 and color of rudder. Just as reference. All details included...use what you wish. Correct yellow color for bands is in link i sent you earlier...also pic of white "6" shows it well. Radio mast should be tad taller. Check from references. Side Von Rosen could be tad bigger. (look pic of white 6) Yes, this all is just nitpicking....its great model already.
Sorry, Illo, I'm not Luukkainen! @Datel: Pls don't make such a special version, more a common one! It should be representive for a typical kind of finns brewster color painting. Might be for a whole squad or even a group. Not only one pilot. My oppinion....
