Do you guys think that is to do with the structure of the fuselage? Or my quality of textures?

My fuse is done using a cylinder with 5 cross sections with 32 points each, and then I clik on "check parts". Is this alright? The material properties are set as default.

And then the textures I have done them with corel draw. It is a 1024X1024 8bit with a relution of 72. Is this alright?

I wnat my textures to look nice and smooth. Cry

HELP

I think it is a problem of FS, FS has auto antialias for the textures, that makes the textures look a bit blurry, if you want this not to happen do another texture for the top of the plane...

Hi I have aplied a top texture and works fine. The only thing is that I can't get the texture for the top right. The windows are at the midel of the fuse ad they become all blury.

Is there any way of playing a white texture to the top and that aply one to the right that will overwrite the top one? For example if apply the texture to the right and then the top, the top one wil overwrite the right one. Well I just need the opposite.

HELPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!

if you're not going to make any more adjustments to the fuselage "parts", the you can split off the "top" polygons into their own part (fuselage_top) and texture it that way.

Felix I Have just done that. It works better now. Though you can see that there are two parts in the fuselage the top and bottom, specially when I move the plane and the incidence of the sun moves, but well Roll Eyes

this way is better.

It was quite frustating to put all this effort into doing the model and then seeing that it looks crap because of the textures.

Thanks guys. I will put pictures of my plane again when it is conpletly finished. I am still waiting for the landing gear!!!!!!!! Shocked

The guys designing the plane have some difficulties with the C.G.
