I'd not noticed this before as I'm usually inside ......

I like using Active Camera's "fly-by" mode, so I'm usually outside the plane.... :)

NOW that you have made your self clear - I went over to the CBFiles gallery and your correct that effect does appear on several different screenies of the vanguard by several different contributors - Having discussed the tip colouring with a couple
of people , you may wish to tone the yellow tip colour down slightly - having spent time on the ramp with Invicta's and some
Bealine Vanguards I can tell you it was never that bold and when seen in motion never that clear :)

Welcome to the forum and please consider this, there are a lot of people here who spend a great deal of time producing
the best freeware in the hobby, and an even greater number of people who's experience with "classic british" aircraft
spans over 50 years, so you may wish to phrase your posts slightly differently than "Ive fixed this and posted it at Avsim".


I understand as you said there are some langauage difficulties but I think everything is set straight now

HI Leif,

When I was asked to do the prop textures, I asked my friend for some pictures that he might still have at his house. I needed to know how bright and opaque the prop can appear under the right lighting conditions. The pictures he provided are almost exactly the same as this one at http://www.airliners.net.

Based on the photos I had access to, I decided to try to meet halfway between the photos and a totally transparent prop texture. Since I don't have control over the original 3D model and texture mapping of this aircraft, there is only so much I can do on my side with my limited knowledge of 3D modeling and texture mapping.

Regards,

Tommy
