Title: P-38 Dawn Patrol
Post by: Wolfala on February 08, 2004, 08:22:26 PM: Here is a shot that I made last night. My wingman I ran into earlier is the tower chief at Bridgeport Sikorsky in southwestern Connecticut where I fly out of. Small world eh?

Post by: Wolfala on February 09, 2004, 12:56:29 AM: It all happened by accident. I did a reinstall of photoshop and the lighting was changed from white to yellow - thought that was odd and discovered I could change it! Score!

Maybe same loadout for planes? (1 Lightning hasn't got a dt)

Post by: Citabria on May 04, 2004, 09:09:56 PM: the only thing that bugs me about that aep 38 is the engine nacels are way to narrow.

theres no way an allison engine could fit in there.

Could be.
AH's external view system is kinda screwy, so I couldn't get a precise perspective match ... but any difference in the width of the nacelles seems negligible to me. The air intakes do differ a bit, tho.

dunno the ah version dosnt have toothpick looking engine cowling.

the il2 p38 is 3800 polygons if i remember what gibbage said he used to make it and its a damn beautiful model.

but theres somthing off about the look of it and i cant put my finger on it.

maybe its the front windscreen armor plate is too small for a p38j or L but it seems more like the engine nacels look too much like toothpicks cmpared to the actual p38

Post by: Citabria on May 05, 2004, 07:32:23 PM: the thing that ruins the aep il2 p38 for me though is the dark tinted windows on the canopy that turn everything about 50% darker than external view.

i end up sticking with the 109s since i like to play it in full realism mode when playing this sim they dont seem to be afflicted with the brown tinted windows. makes the pacific terrain blue water look pretty brown and smurfy

Post by: BUG_EAF322 on May 05, 2004, 08:03:50 PM: 109's are dweeb planes compared to the aep p38

Post by: Wolfala on May 24, 2004, 01:12:07 AM: Interesting how I very rarely get my pilot killed in AEP compared to any other aircraft, esp the P39. They seem to fall apart like paper machet.
