May 12, 20224 yr Can't wait! Thanks so much for your efforts. A part of me was hoping LSH would offer you a spot on the team. Take-offs are optional, landings are mandatory.The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. To make a small fortune in aviation you must start with a large fortune.There's nothing less important than the runway behind you and the altitude above you. It's better to be on the ground wishing you were in the air, than in the air wishing you were on the ground.

Mod is pending approval at flightsim.to as we speak 🙂 Thanks for your very kind words 😉 But trust me, Leonardo could find better than me for such a job and I certainly hope they will for the good of everybody 😏 Most of the textures are still theirs and they were nice, simply too low-res for something like MSFS. Ideally, you'd want to redo the texture work completely from scratch and that is what they should strive for! Most of what I did involved a lot of different enhancing techniques, softwares, fiddling with numbers countless amount of time, do some experimentations and testing to enhance the details of existing textures to the most possible way! Of course a lot of time I had to touchup scratches, little details, paint some new to replace what couldn't be enhanced etc. Takes a lot of time if you're not a texture artist. BUT! Leonardo should not rely on their old texture anymore. There's only so much you can salvage... They should work with their real texture artist or hire one to entirely remake the texturing from scratch, including the way the 3D model is UV mapped (create more textures but smaller ones to not cover so much of the cockpit inside a single texture. That was good technique a decade ago but not anymore, using MSFS new decal function as much as possible etc). Repaint everything from scratch and remap the 3d model entirely. Personally, I just don't know how to do that well enough, or it would take me an enormous amount of time that certainly wouldn't be viable 😅 (I'm not proficient in drawing/painting).
May 12, 20224 yr Please post a link, (if you're allowed to) when the mod goes live. Cheers, and thanks again!

I haven't bought the Maddog, but I think you are doing a great service for the MSFS community. Great job in making the Maddog better! i5-12400, RTX 3060 Ti, 32 GB RAM

May 12, 20224 yr Author Thanks ! What version did you just test? How were performances so far? What is your ram/GPU and vram? EDIT: nevermind, your specs are in your signature already 😅 with that kind of hardware you shouldn't have the slightest problem running the 16K (I do with my RTX 2700 super and 32GB of ram) Edited May 12, 20224 yr by alanlj44
May 12, 20224 yr I had a CTD on the first load. Retrying again. https://fsprocedures.com Your home for all flight simulator related checklist.
May 12, 20224 yr Author I'm going to try the downloaded version, see if it makes a difference with my own work version but it shouldn't normally
May 12, 20224 yr Author This I like better 😎 Great performances! How's the stuttering when panning around compared to vanilla cockpit?
