Mig-29 tries to outrun nuclear blast 8-)

cheers
Waspi

How did you get that effect?

Wow crazy!  Im sure I won't be the only to say this, but it looks edited  8-)

Wow . This will go far, excellent shot Waspi! I love the effect on the aircraft and the sharpness of the ground textures. Also, looks like Nuclear winter has set in already .

Best Of Luck!  8-)

Looks as if he deleted the textures for the AC? I'm interested in the excessive glare, maybe a tweek to the aircraft.cfg?

Im sure it isnt an edit

P.S. WOW!

Let's be really careful about throwing the "E" word around. Particulary when it concerns as fine a screenartist as Waspi.

I downloaded the fs2004 mig29 and it came out like this


only did it when I started using vista and not with xp?So I thought using DX10 lots of nice sun glare and plenty of heavy snow and this is what I got.

also most of my planes are in the wrong order (names)my mig was under the title maule etc?? is this a vista problem??

So basically it was a happy accident, funny how you make a messed up AC look fantastic

yeah
the textures are showing in the mig files but wont show up in fsx??
but the glare is great

Great shot Waspi! No that problem is not a Vista problem, but a Thumbnail issue. If you don't have a thumbnail picture for your aircraft, unless it's a ture FSX model, it will push all the planes down leaving a picture of a default plane or other plane with a thumbnail picture.

Ahem, i think he's talking about the whole plane texture, not the thumbnails in the menu.
I guess its a problem of conversion of the BMP files when the plane was created in the GMAX Editor. The textures works well with FS2004 but wont shows up in FSX because the graphical engine of FSX dont recognize those BMP that were made for FS2004.
The only way to correct this is by conveting the BMP files with DXTBMP2 (Direct X Ten Bitmap 2) in the GMAX editor.

You can change the name of your aircrafts by editing, with the Notepad, the "aircraft.cfg" file found in each aircraft folder. Just change the name in the 'title'.

Hope that helps!

And good luck waspiflab!

This is a very nice shot! 8-)
