Yes, that is exactly the effect I was speaking about. If you want to do good (= better than 3D) 2D jobs, you have to hand optimize them for each resolution. >From a modelling perspective, however, they're >years out of date, and I think we should aim a lot higher than fixed >2D renditions. Try the Battle of Britain demo to see what a 3D >cockpit is like, and you won't want to go back. Exactly :->. Also, even the modders don't do many 2D cockpits anymore IMHO. OTOH, there are several people (mainly professional 3D artists working in their free time) making full 3D cockpits for Il-2 in Max. If they agree for us to use them, then we would have the 3D model and would "only" need to connect it to the code (animation of levers, clickable areas etc). While the Il-2 models all come from a certain area :-/, there should be other people doing the same fpor other sims. >All the best, > > >David Bye bye, Wolfram. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
