March 13, 20197 yr Hehe....intriguing topic title...but like the title implies, here is the Queen in her birthday suit with nary any clothes on at all. 🙂 This is full PBR naturally, the reflections have to be seen in the sim to appreciate how awesome it looks. Seeing the terrain, clouds, etc dancing off the metal...totally game-changing in the world of exterior screenshot artists. 🙂 Enjoy the pics. All is still WIP....no timeline on a release date....metal takes time. Sunglasses highly recommended for viewing. 😎 Yep, with PBR...the lights reflect off the fuse...dynamically and in real-time...quite an awesome sight to behold. Even the moonlight reflects off the fuse! Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

March 14, 20197 yr Commercial Member I think, with a little more practice, you'll be getting quite good at this painting lark Steve 😂 On a serious note, after getting a new PC, I'm going to have to get a 747 just so I can use these paints🙄 Cheers Paul Golding
March 14, 20197 yr Such shine, much metal amaze! Lovely concept for a present day Flying Tigers Queen.

Good news is that when its done, we should be close to releasing at least 4 shiny Queens!

I love beans.🤣 Yeah, show me these pics when I 1st started painting and say we'd be here in under 2 decades and I would have said you're nuts! I'd say "even with the top-of-the-line video card pushing 2 MEGAbytes ram (non-DDR...but we didnt even know what DDR was back then), there would be no way to load all that detail and fill my top-of-the-line Viewsonic 17" monitor!!!" Fast forward to today, 12GB onboard my Titan, 55" 4k monitor...gotta love technology! 🙂 LOL it takes 2mb just to load basic Nvidia shader codec into the Titan...my old XVGA (X because it could display higher than 800x600) would explode if I put in my machine today, LOL Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

Atlas, Cathay, Flying Tiger, JAL, and Northwest 😁 Well...I said at LEAST 4 as I have not even put the JAL textures on the maps yet. 😉 Didn't want the masses coming at us with pitchforks & torches because we "promised" 5 paints and only delivered 4. LoL We're still debating about the best metal config...that in itself can take another 3 months. (hehe...I hear the clanking of simmer's picking up their pitchforks after that statement..."We demand your paints NOW NOW NOW....we want instant gratification...it looks good enough as it is, why are you still tinkering with it...give it to us NOW!). Sorry...recurring nightmare. 🤣 I always wake up just before I get to say "This is the part where you run away"....points for knowing what movie line I'm referencing. 🙂 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
