New N1K
« on: December 18, 2016, 06:20:25 AM »
Thanks to Lyric1 for finding me the info for this skin.

This N1K2-J was an aircraft of the 1st squadron of the 343rd Naval Fighter Group. The 343rd was formed in 1944 from the best of the IJNAF's remaining pilots and was principally tasked with the defence of naval installations on the Japanese homeland. While they gave a good account of themselves they could do little to affect the overwhelming American superiority in numbers, training and equipment and suffered heavy losses. This aircraft however survived the war to be examined by American forces.

Eye watering.    Holy cow. 

What is your gamma set at?

Also, for grins, any chance of seeing the side that's in shadow?  I need to figure out what you're doing to get that lighting effect.    Wow.

This is what it looks like in shadow, not sure what you hope to get from this though. My gamma is set at 1.0 and the specular, power and environment effects are set at about the grey value levels I told you about recently.

Nice work! <S>
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Looks awesome even on the dark side.  Thanks for posting that.   

I cannot get anything on mine to look that dark in shadow.   Everything is dark charcoal gray.

Back to the drawing board here.
