[Flightgear-users] UV-mapping aircraft

2007-01-01 Thread Paul Cardinaels
Hey, I've been looking at the texture mapping for the commercial aircraft present in Flightgear. I'm a repainter and I've done tons of repaints for M$FS. The textures on most aircraft are pretty difficult to paint. So I was wondering if anything can be done to make them more easy. I've put

Hi Paul, I'm a repainter and I've done tons of repaints for M$FS. The textures on most aircraft are pretty difficult to paint. UV mapping is a fine art :-) Are you a repainter or a UV mapper? Roberto - Take Surveys.

UV mapping is a fine art indeed. I'm just a repainter, I've done some UV mapping in the past but not on aircraft models. But I think that a texture that can easily be painted will attract more people to flightgear, and I'll be happy to make a few paint kits... Op Mon, 01 Jan 2007 12:28:06

I have been playing around with my control setup and recently modified an old joystick to work as a throttle quadrant (has throttle, mixture and pitch controls plus a starter button). This freed up some buttons and one axis (was throttle) on my main stick and I am in the process of remapping
