August 16, 200421 yr I downloaded both of the Kittyhawk 737-800 Southwest paintjobs and I can't seem to get either of them to display correctly. I get the tail painted properly, and the winglets, but the rest of the bird is plain old blank except for a chunk of the rear fuselage, which is some odd color. I've downloaded them both twice and I can't see where I've screwed them up. I have a Geforce 4 Ti 4400 running 56.64 (also tried 53.03) under Win2K on an AMD 3400+ with 1 gig of memory. I tried it with the latest drivers and got the same results. The base birds in the main download (an AA and a KLM) both display fine, but have significantly different size texture files.Any ideas?
August 16, 200421 yr Might be that Southwest only has -700s so that is what the paint is for.... :) The Kittyhawk -700 and -800 series aircraft use the same texture file names with the exception of the fuselage textures... Which answers why only the tube is not showing textures... :-outta http://hometown.aol.com/p3superb/images/3e72a43942b48d2b.jpg There is a fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness".- unknown "My daddy gives me up, to fight for you"- a US Military Members Child
August 19, 200421 yr I have to yake your word for them not having -800's, although I thought they did. Nevertheless, the files I downloaded were titled "FS2004 Southwest Airlines Boeing 737-800 This Kittyhawk Productions aircraft includes full moving parts, dynamic shine, custom lighting, scratch-built visual model using the latest technology from Gmax, custom textures, all new never been flown before flight dynamics, tested by a 737 rated commercial pilot. Model by Erick Cantu. FDE by Shawn Anderson." Based on that, you'd expect a 737-800.
August 21, 200421 yr Well, despite my doubt, you are quite correct. I finally found a Kittyhawk 737-700 (they REALLY need a useable naming convention) and with a little cut and paste, it works fine. Flies rather oddly, but it looks good. I understand that they got the weight/balance screwed up but even though I fooled around with that the plane flies nose down in stable level flight and won't descend with the nose above level unless it's stalled. Looks really odd from the side. I kept either crashing due to insufficient elevator to flare or wheelbarrowing on landing. The only way to get it down "alive" is to trim the thing hugely.Thanks. I was going nutz over the paint thing.Jim
