CV-240, 340, and 440 with New VC Released

[Tom/CalClassic]

Hi,

Thanks for the reports; looks like things are working well at this point.

The Convair cockpits from the external view have never been textured (the texturing apparently got mangled when going from the 580 to the piston Convairs). I got around to texturing the crew figures and recoloring some vibrant blue seat backs, but that's all I've done so far.

Hope this helps,

Good to know I'm not missing anything. Its a minor thing that I can easily overlook.

Excellent job on the VC makeover by the way! You've brought new life to a "vintage" model!

Hi again,

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I did need to texture the cockpit in external view. Since these planes are designed to be FSX compatible (and FSX obviously doesn't handle untextured surfaces well!), I decided to go ahead with it.

Therefore, any downloads of the Convairs from this point forward will include a fully textured cockpit in exterior view. There is a new texture added to all the liveries - cockpit.bmp. It's identical among all the Convairs.

So you can download and install them again if that is important to you - otherwise it's not necessary. Most people won't even notice it, I would guess.

Hope this helps,
