Capt. Kurt is making WW1 models for CFS2 these days and I guess there might be a developing interest in representing that aerial conflict in that game.

Any plans to produce a CFS2 model for this aircraft ?? Thanks.
 
Cheers folks, Chris appreciates your thanks and comments.

G,
I appreciate you're just asking, but there are plenty of CFS2 models of the D.III. This model will convert very easily as-is, with CFS2 airfile and DP.

Cheers

I think it has to do with MipMaps and the way your graphic card is dealing with them. As I'm not behind my flightsim computer I can't check the file now.

Hey Huub, if you're getting your paintbrushes out,
Here's a suggestion

Pete,

Shessi and Chris are currently releasing models faster than I can paint them. I had plans for the Dornier Do-18, but real life and finished the Ju-52 repaints came in between. Than the Baltimore arrived and I ran into some nice repaint options for this model. But before I had even started the Albatros was already there. As there are roughly 1,500 Albatros D.III aircraft built, there are quite some repaint options.........

It will be a surprise (even for me) with which aircraft I will start.

Cheers,
Huub

Hi Huub, I've considered doing that one myself, for Stuart Greens model, but can't seem to find a paint kit,

Thanks Huub

I managed to fix it.

First I tried extracting the Albatross_DIII.cab to a folder of the same name and saved all the bmp's in DXTBmp to include mipmaps.
That sort of worked, all the gauges now worked except the airspeed which is a .GAU so not much I could do with it.

Next I went back to using the original .CAB and added pixel_size=1024,1024 to the [Vcockpit01] section of the panel.cfg and ta-da all the gauges are nice and clear as they should have been.
 
The vc gauges are very blurry on mine also. I checked the panel cfg and there is no pixel size only just size and it's set at 1024 by 1024. Usually when I have this problem I change the pixel size to 1024 by 1024 but since there is no entry for pixel size I can't do this. The vc gauges on Stuart Greens and Scrubs Albatross are just fine. Must be a video card issue.

Just add the pixel size line after the size one, that's what I did.
 
Well hell! you learn something new every day.

I wasn't sure how to deal with that, not a real problem, just annoying..but..

The real probblem is that the gauge texs are not that detailed, and would be better if I had made a panel for each gauge, but wasn't bothered to do that, so this is a good compromise.

That worked , just make sure the line pixel_size is exactly right including the _ spacing. I looked at another panel cfg just to be sure.
