I'll agree with David, the suns reflection? All three shots have that? Nice!

Kind of.
It's PBR in P3D 4.4.
I can now successfully add PBR to all models, no matter what modeling program they were created in.

 

Cool, PBR is becoming popular now in the flightsim world, is this a result of 64 bit sims or theory and implementation has finally come together?

Cheers

Martin

 

Update:

I'm getting much more involved on other aspects of the aircraft currently.
After discovering I could add PBR to the Lear, I went even further.

So the P3Dv4 version, hoping all goes well, will have something I hope everyone will enjoy.

Here's a few screenshots. I'm sure you'll notice what it is. 😉

This is NOT final, and I hope i'm not getting everyone's hopes up, but it's looking 99% possible to get everything going reasonably for the v4 version.

Here's a short video.
 

 

Awesome Wickedbacon92!

PBR and dynamic lights...amazing!

Bacon, you’re the man!

WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!  Oh my gosh sir that looks amazing.  (I just read through this entire thread - I can't believe I missed this post!)

I just love the Lear, it may be my favorite FS jet.  The falcon is nice too.

Thank you so much for your hard work!

I wondered why you'd been missing from this thread, Ryan, given your love of Lears.

It will be up on the website when the project is finished since I am unsure it would be allowed to post one here. I can message the link to you as it’s already up. Either way, it’s my pleasure, I really enjoy sprucing these up.

It is getting harder and harder to do though since this would be my only source of some kind of income (poor flight school student here) but I still thoroughly enjoy doing it.

Slight but fantastic update.

Here's what's new.
Side windows have been remodeled, no more bulgey-too big windows anymore, they are fantastic.
Engine fan has been resized to match the real aircraft- Joe went out and measured and took pictures of the Lear and Mark remodeled both of these.

Here's a comparison between windows (don't mind the FPS on the original image, running 20 million apps) 
And an image of the new engine fan/cone. All properly sized now.

Still working out Dynamic lighting and PBR (which is not displayed in these shots as I have to update the new models when they're 100% done)

Rotating beacon is now animated with dynamic lighting.

Now, as with everything dynamic lighting-wise, there will be a frame drop as i'm sure we're all used too. I'm doing my very best to minimize the impact, and so far the lowest FPS i've gotten is at Flightbeams KMSP, which is rather heavy, and Imaginesim WSSS, which is heavy as well, also including UTL, which used Dynamic Lighting, I was sitting with all lights on fluctuating between 25-30FPS.
40-60 in default airports, which is better than I can say for some other addons with DL, but there's always room for improvement. Just wanted to make you all aware so there's no screaming about performance, I'll see if Mark can make an option with and without dynamic lighting for the P3Dv4 version, but that's up to him.

As always, enjoy these shots!

FAN


I have not re-baked the interior AO, or done any textures for the new model, that is why you see some artifacts in the textures on this last image inside the window frame.

Oh, here's another preview.

Videos of the new animated Rotating beacons with attached spotlights.

Man it looks delicious!  Can't wait!
