WIP / Screen Test - Maj. Robert Moore - P-51D "Stinger VII" (67) - 15FG/45FS
« on: September 21, 2020, 02:54:25 PM »
Guys I can't tell how this looks on my awful laptop screen.

(Edit in: It is clear this video card is not up to spec.   This poor thing looks awful on my iPad—so pixelated, and the metal is almost white.  So let’s focus on the green.)

It is still a work in progress.   The OD Anti-Glare Paint is not finalized nor are the markings, but I would like some feedback on how it looks in general.   I may have to send it to Devil505 and let him take the screenshots of the final version should these not be any good.

Also, spec maps aside, how does the green look?

The last image still had placeholder nose art, but I caught the metal on the cowling just right...

Mad props to guys like Lazerr who fly with a mouse.   My gawd, this has been a nightmare!

I'm not that familiar with Pacific Mustangs, but I could definitely call that green an Apple Green, if that's what you're going for...

I think that's a good term for it.

It sounds like there is no consensus on what it is supposed to be so I went for a derivative of the wheel well/cockpit interior color.

I may be completely off base...

Awful.

We can call this one a bust.

The green looks fine.

It looks very similar to the shade Oboe used on his 80th FS P-38.

To match the color in that photo you need to darken it a bit and shift the shade you have towards blue.

Would you suggest that?

If it were my skin, I'd try matching the photo.

I think the photo has an exposure problem.  If I match it then it won’t be right.   There’s a color balance issue with it and I don’t know which way to shift it.

Any ideas?

Nice looking bird.. the green trim is nice, now I get to use it on another one of my favorite birds.


As for the mouse thing, after all the hours I have doing it, its muscle memory.   :D

Thanks, man.  I'm trying to work on it (from the UK of all places) with a cheap laptop a friend gave me.   I will probably have to wait until I get back to the USA to post screenshots of the final product as this video card is not the best.

If you only knew how many times I've ground looped this sucker into a million pieces while trying to shift viewing angles and forgetting to press the H for the mouse to control viewing.   Oy.   And it doesn't take much movement of the mouse to make this thing go off into the weeds.   :rofl

I agree, the color of the reference pic is off.

Seems like it needs the yellow level increased. But I'm by no means an expert on color correction.

The second pic looks good to me.
