Title: Capt. John T. Godfrey - P-51B (VF-P) - 4th FG, 336th FS - AH3 Update II
Post by: Vraciu on December 31, 2017, 01:25:22 AM
I decided to take another crack at this one as it was the last of my Bs with the incorrect angle for the cowling lines.

I wish I could get these photo angles with better resolution.   Zooming in always gives just the SLIGHTEST fisheye effect, but zooming out pixelates.

Any way...

I tweaked a couple things after these shots were taken.   Nothing earth shattering.

Nicely Done.

Looks good Vraciu.

Fish eye effect is just down to the field of view being used. I assume you are already using the zoom key to reduce FOV before taking the screenshot, but you could also go into video settings and reduce the game's overall FOV setting there. Of course you'd want to change it back before playing the game.

No need to go into the "Video Settings" to adjust FOV.  You can do it in Options->Graphic Details now.

does FOV affect Frame rate?

Somehow this got missed.   Anyone have an answer?

(Sorry for the necrobump.   I was looking for an image link in this thread and saw the question.)

Sure FOV will impact frame rate.

Rather than start a new thread I will just post this here as it's not a full revision as yet.   I think VSixO was telling me he liked this one so I decided to work on the red and white paint as well as add some minor details to the control surfaces.

At some point I will do a full revision on it, but this will make it look less garish in the interim.   Updated version at top.

Thanks gents.    I'll redraw it down the line.

(It may have been 00PK not VSix0 FWIW.   I lose track of who says what on 200 and Country channels.  Ha.)

The desaturated red looks a lot better to my eyes.

Thanks.   I'm slowly getting a feel for what you guys have been explaining.
