Title: Arrrggg! SUPERFLY!!!!

Superfly

I am bangin my head against the wall trying to get a custom skin done for the P-51D, so I have a question for you.

Since the 3D model has been reworked for the P-51D, will the existing skin files be replaced also, with easier to use format like the other newer aircraft?

I don't want to keep putting a lot of effort into a skin that might become invalid when 1.11 is released.

The skins for the current P51D will not work for the new 51D.

So, Skuzzy, how much use might he get from a current version pony skin?

This isn't a "when" question, really. ;)

:D  Nice try Iron.

In keeping with the spirit of your question :)

He will get as much use out of it as he wants.

You know, this has to be the most clever "when" question I have seen on the boards.

Never ask Skuzzy what time is it. He will say something like:

"It is 2 arrows pointing somewhere at my watch" :)

Thanks Skuzzy :)

I'll wait to make my new skin then...

Well, that's a relativity question really.  It all depends on how much flying hours he does from now until release day.  :p
Yes, the new p51D skin will be much easier to work with.  The old one is ther very first plane I made for AH, and I've changed my technique quite a bit since then.

I absolutely agree.  Definitely a 10.  WTG Iron.

awww shucks guys, if it was really that good we'd now have a better idea how close 1.11 is. :)

It was indeed a very cleverly masked question.  

And Fariz,..you are assuming I own a watch. :D

actually i think that the next release has all its models done and were just waiting for programming to finish up...

I'm pretty sure the models aren't ready yet but that the programming is finished. ;)

errr you nromally need models done before you can set up the code...i think

Well, if by model you mean the flight model parameters than I have to concede that I don't know. However, If the flight model is table based as I think has been implied or stated here then no, seems to me it could be plugged into the code base.

But if we're just talking the "physcial" parameters and skins then I still think the model is separate from the "code" as I perceived you to mean.


I don't think this discussion is likely to draw out any revealing information.

You suck dude.
You know this and you try to drown the fact with cheap booze and potatos.
