• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

P-47 Progress Thread

So much detail ,it is mind blowing ! What a labor of love for such a wonderful warbird as the P-47, my all time favorite aircraft !
 
Wow , that is detailed! Been a while but I remember complex animations can be nightmare in Gmax . If you get truly stuck you send me the relevant parts and I will take a look at it.
 
i can send you some money to get the work done. i'll pay you for it. Your passion and great love inspires me. Coming in to a bunch of money from the VA. will gladly pay you to finish the work !
 
Much appreciated, Scott!!

But unfortunately I can't accept that offer for several reasons,; first of all it wouldn't be fair to all the other people that selflessly shared the fruits of their hobbies with us over time. Without their efforts we wouldn't have ETO, MAW, Korea etc. And all the community's CFS3 contents published for free over the years aside, I feel that Ankor's shaders are predominantly responsible for where CFS3 is now. And those are free too.
Secondly, the P-47's modeling and texturing may be my own but the air file isn't my doing and over time I received much help and support from more knowledgeable people than me. And eventually I hope that Daniel will wave his RSM-wand over the model and add some extra systems and realism to it.
In the third place, it would mean that it's no longer a tinker tanker pastime but a job. That would entitle you to customer rights, even if you don't want/mean to excercise them. And even if you wouldn't be by law, it would feel to me as if you were.

So, as much as I appreciate the gesture, I have to politely decline. But rest assured, I'll keep working on it :D. (But if you really want to part with your hard-earned savings, please consider donating during the next donation drive to keep your favorite hangout in the air (but I am sure you do/did(y))). Hope that's still OK with you, mate!?
