WOW, that is one nice looking model Ghost129er.
As you say most of the tools we use to hopefully improve the look of our models have a cost, most increase the poly count and I have found that going even a few above the mesh limit will make the QMB screen flicker like mad.
I cannot figure out why the BV 138 seaplane from AviaSkins works in game as Dimon released it because those meshes like your fuselage are above 4k.
I was asked to make that skinable in the IL-2 sense and managed it but had to chop things up and re-size to make it work, still waiting for the guys to decide where we go with that one.
Thankfully the B-377 is okay even with the windows, the inner skin lost a few areas and I welded what I could and the result is what you see, should not be a issue with the transport/tanker aircraft as they had fewer windows.
Anyway, onwards and upwards they say, Alex (Bison_M) thought new wheels from PA Jeronimo
would add considerably to the overall appearance, thank you very much Alex really appreciated:
PA's work is truly outstanding, I live in hope that one day I will be able to attain his skills.
Alex reactivated the nose wheel door as well, I removed it because it did not quite fit and on the actual aircraft there
are three doors, one is on the nose wheel leg and retracts with that, I will maybe shorten what we have and make
the third door to make things look correct.
The actual prototype used the original B-29 engines, again thanks to Alex for the info, so I guess if you did not
like my engines reverting back would not be entirely wrong.
There is a WIP of the B-50 that has much better engines than I could ever hope to make and a suggestion was
made to borrow those, however, that was never released by those involved so I considered it inappropriate to
use anything from that even though I have the model.
I could do with a set of wide prop blades and a pointed spinner, any ideas please guys so I do not have to make them?
Sorry this is taking time guys, health issues mean I get to spend very little time at the machine so I pick away at it if
and when I can, hopefully though a can do some basic work on the interior and at least release the civil fuselage update
you see here soon.
That said a month of football is upon us, yippee.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete.
