In the model.tmc file you can add all folder names of your repaints to the Repaints property:

(e.g. "repaint1", "repaint2"...)

Code

<[file][][]
    <[convert_model_settings][][]
        <[list_convert_target_settings][Targets][]
            <[convert_target_settings][element][0]
                <[string8][Target][Desktop]>
                <[list_string8][Repaints][ repaint1 repaint2 repaint3 ]>

I do have such repaints list - it is not issue. The newest converter generates only one preview.tif then crashes. The next converter launch generates another preview, then crash and the need for another launch, and so on. it is a memory leak for successive repaints

We have updated the aircraft converter. You can get the current version here.

This should fix the issue with the broken preview image.

The new version uses Vulkan drivers instead of OpenGL. I had to change the graphics settings for selected GPU but it is working. The preview is generated but only one at a time. It is not possible to generate more reskins in one run as all memory is consumed in a short while and converter crashes. No matter which model

I noticed that there is a new aircraft converter sdk published on 20th October. It is really great!
The problem is that generated previews only contain glass surfaces, no other parts are visible (also for the DR400). Is this a bug or something needs to be set?

Updated: config.tmc is readed correctly but then when generating the preview, the converter throws errors because it cannot find the shaders from installation folders

2.40-convert_aircraft: user folder: 'C:/Users/kkani/OneDrive/Dokumenty/Aerofly FS 4/'
2.41-convert_aircraft: desktop folder: 'D:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Aerofly FS 4 Flight Simulator/'

It seems that API was fixed in new version and dll example is working, am I right?
@aenbacka can you you check your plugin?

Any feedback on dll example released?

I can see in the DR400 example that blender format is used.
Is it available any plugin for blender to export TGI files?

Check if a slower graphics card was enabled with this update. You need to enforce the high performance GPU card again

open the main.mcf file with a texteditor and change

<[bool][graphics_use_vulkan][true]> from true to false and save the file.

Aerofly should then start in OpenGL mode.

Did you use <[shader][hint][glass exterior]> shader?

Try to use 'exterior' and 'interior' shaders respectively for each materials ( exterior = shiny, interior=matte)

you have to split glass materials and objects into interior and exterior

Hi Delfin,

The course represents the real tracks at Reno Stead , NV airport where the STIHL National Championship Air Races take place.

Actually the course is several courses for different classes overlaid on the same piece of ground.

The map of courses is enclosed in docs folder. More about cources you can find on the organizer's website: https://airrace.org/the-course-pits/

I found such 3D pylons and put them in right place

You can donwnload it from my repository: https://github.com/krzysk1/reno_course

enjoy it:)

Hi,

I noticed after update that the 'glass exterior' shader makes completely transparent, invisible surfaces (no colours, alpha map, bumps or reflexes).

Does anyone else have that kind of observation?

So I explain why some people see more models, and when models become available to the public.

There are three groups of models:

• private, which I develop only myself,
• shared with a narrow test group,
• and made available to the public.

Generally models go through these three stages. When I correct critical errors (such as exploding gears), I make a model available to a narrow group.

When the model is "almost" ready and for now I don't plan any more features (like VR), I make it available to the public.

Of course reported issues are resolving in all stages.

Therefore, many simple models are already available, but more complex models still need to be worked on, and are not available to everyone.

The current GitHub subscription plan allows up to three colaborants per model in private tests. For this reason, from time to time I change the people who have access to the model, using the available space.

I hope you will understand my approach.

regards

One question - the rudder/yaw control seems reversed?

Fixed. Thanks for remark

Where did you get the name tango? There is no such model in my repository.

You cannot change the name to any other name. It must be the same as in the original but without _master. If you change the s211 to tango it will not work either.

Maybe the map works but the effect is barely visible. Try to make a very contrasting test map, e.g. black lines on a white background.

no, it is not necessary to specify map files.

Is it normal map or bump map? (usually normal maps are blue, bump maps are grey)

It is even not required to declare bump map in a3cd. It should work if bump map exists and map is correct. Is the map correct? Maybe you have normal map , but not bump map - they are different (you can use fuselage00_normal.bmp instead of fuselage00_bump.bmp)

Please check if you have in model.tmc bump scaling set correctly, ie:

<[file][][]

<[convert_model_settings][][]

<[float64][BumpMapScaling][1.0]>

'uvscaling' is not required, it changes bump map size but not depth.

It was not so reflective on my computer:/ I've reduced reflexes

Bocian Glider

1) falls apart and crashes on runway loading before you get a chance to do the rapid up thing.

2) Small area on front of Stab (both sides) flashing

Hmm, me and Jetjockey10 cannot observe such glider behaviour. Could sb else confirm?

Regarding 2) it was fixed
