• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Thanks all, some progress on the glass with custom env map;

Nice indeed, and I like it that you created a custom env map. There's so much glass at that thing...
 
That makes sense! I did it also for my Fokker, it's a more 'Dutch' envmap with green land, no mountains, blue air w/ clouds. Gives a brighter result too!

I' d guess it' s the coffee to go syndrome ...

Something different: I follow your work regularly. Stunning - that' s all I can say. Not only the speed but the top-notch quality are impressing me!

Would you mind trying a brighter black for the leverage? I think that plain black (0, 0, 0) burns holes into the screen whereas a brighter black (36, 36, 36 for instance) still will be registered as black but add some dimension/depth to your model work.

May i ask why not?

Personally, depending on how well the pilots look closer up, I would want the option of a co-pilot visible in the VC, get really tired of flying alone, LOL.

Um, how to put this delicately...

Look at the position of their right hands in relation to their joysticks... :duck: :rotfl::stirthepo

I am sorry I don't understand what do you mean by that leverage and holes stuff?

No prob - let me try to explain. Looking at this section of your model

leverage_01.jpg

I just got the impression that you might have painted a plain black rectangle (R: 0 G: 0 B: 0) on your texture sheet for texturing the leverage. Correct me if I' m wrong. According to what I know the leverage would benefit from a brighter black - it would appear more dimensional. Pain black areas on a screen appear pretty flat instead.

000-363636.jpg

Just compare these two black squares. The left one is RGB 0, 0, 0, the right one is RGB 36, 36, 36.

Paint a cube in 0, 0, 0 and it will appear flat. Paint it in 36, 36, 36 and it will appear 3-dimensional. I' m talking about objects rendered on a sreen!
 
Ah, in this instance "leverage" = "contrast"...

In short, for purposes of display, objects should never be one extreme or the other. Avoid pure black (0,0,0) and pure white (256,256,256).

Just as you can never have "whiter than white" you can never have "blacker than black..." :teacher:
 
Actually they are 3D, but will low down the opacity of the AO to give something better to look at!
