Title: 109k4 cowl gun
Post by: Klauss on January 01, 2009, 02:00:03 AM
    When is the small, but ugly area on the 109k4 going to be fixed? I reffer to the cowl gun. Is it so hard to remodel that small area around the mg?

Could you post a screen shot of the offending area?

Here are the pictures with the offending area.

I did the second photo while the game was still loading textures, so that area can be easy compared to the other area.

He's right.  They are not symmetrical.

I'm at work, so I could check, but my boss might not be too happy about it.    :noid

It this for every skin?

Maybe it's just winking at you           ;)

In any case, nice catch.  :aok

    I've seen this for many years, just hoped that it will be fixed in some version. It's not about the skin, the second picture shows the k4 with no skin on it, just the model. Think it's the only plane with some sort of small but bad 3d modeling.

No, it's just on the 109K4 because of the redesigned cowlings.

The cowlings on the K were redesigned due to the engine (they were on A/S models and the G10 as well). That's why they don't have the 'bumps' for the MG131, the whole cowling 'balloons' toward the back. I'm not saying that the modeling is correct, but I think that's why the K4 is modeled incorrectly and not any of the others.

"That's why they don't have the 'bumps' for the MG131, the whole cowling 'balloons' toward the back. I'm not saying that the modeling is correct, but I think that's why the K4 is modeled incorrectly and not any of the others." . Motherland, we were not talking about the bumps.

"but I think that's why the K4 is modeled incorrectly and not any of the others" - I don't think that's the reason, the bumps have nothing to do with bad modeling. And one last question? Why did you bring the "bumps" area in discussion when the problem is at the final part of the mg that is sticking out?

 :rolleyes:
VonMessa asked if it was on every skin, and at first I thought he meant 109... either way that probably would have been asked. I explained that this is not a problem on every 109, and why. If the K4 had not had the redesigned cowlings HTC probably would have used the same exact cowling model they already had for the G6 and G14 and would not have made the mistake at the gun port.

Actually, I think that the gun port that looks screwed up compared to the rest of them is actually the correct opening for the G6, G14, and K4.

why does this bother you so much, you can't even see this when you're flying

 Got it, thought you did not understand at what to look at. I know that is the good one, did a re circle round it so ppl can compare itto the other area.
