So, I just couldn't resist trying this one out. For the last 3 years I've been leading the Virtual Horsemen in IL-2, which provided us a great base platform. Last week a new seem was released in Beta which we are moving to. DCS:P-51 models all aircraft systems accurately meaning that you have to manage them as in real life. Much more fun for somebody like me.

I started to experiment with the textures. I've never touched DDS or Specular textures before so it's all a big learning curve, but I've used photoshop for a long time so I guess that helped. Anyway, First couple of results:

Nice! :good:

wow that loks great! can you change or use specular maps and cube maps on the 3D models? only reason i ask is that in the car racing SIM models this is how we change level of depth and shine. and the reflectiveness of the texture to the environment.

just wondering if its similar. ive never actually messed with the 3D models in this ......yet.

Yes mate

Looks lovely Rob, I can see why you wanted all that extra RAM.

Interesting that the model has the "Uncle Dog" twin antennas on the rear deck. Are the controls for it in the cockpit?

Uncle Dog/Brother Agate Antennas

You should make a (few) Iwo Jima skin(s) for this puppy!

rock.. can you upload and send me a 3d file of the stang. id like to play if you have one available. i have a ton of cube maps and wanna see how they react on this.

If you are referring to editing the DCS P-51D model itself, that is not and will not be possible. It is saved in .EDM format and the only people who have the tools to open or reverse engineer the format would be Eagle Dynamics themselves.

nevermind..... i was didnt reealize exactly what we were talkin about here. i thought i was lookin at a modified version of an IL2 mustang.
