@repvez Well we will see exactly when its released. Bottom line is that Jan Has models and skins will not work or be able to be converted for use in U4. Likely one of the reasons contributing to him shutting down his website.

@ali_ So it is perfect, more level of detail in the texture would be an unnecessary work. At 30 thousand feet and looking through the TGP, neither the color nor the texture is noticeable. You only need the silhouette and the rest falls from the sky. 😂

Greetings.

@genius Please send me the application again…
I will need examples of your actual work that we can see.

@Dronny:

Any version would be nice. No luck for me with firefox/edge/chromium. FF says : “Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.We can’t connect to the server at 1drv.ms.”
<some times=“” later=“”>Even ping tool can’t find such host. Well, seems it is only for me, sorry for bother, thanks for verification.</some>

Strange, … check PM.

Cheers, :yo:

One of the reasons for creating a new model would be to remap the textures so as to use fewer tiles.

Long ago, when the current model was conceived, we were still limited to texture sizes of 256x256. To increase the detail available to artists, the model was mapped across 12 tiles. Presently, mapping across so many tiles causes inefficiencies in rendering. In addition, the model was created using BSP (binary space partitioning) as F4 did not support z-buffering at the time. BSP tree structure can (and did) wreak havoc with the model tree and also introduces inefficiencies in rendering.

What likely will result is that you may be able to use large areas (wings, tails) of the current textures, but they will have to be “stitched” together onto one tile.

I hope that made sense.

@ZELEGEND:

One humble request:

If you introduce a new F-16 model (from scratch) can you please make sure that the texture mapping is identical to the existing one so we can reuse skins.
