Please come to Boston for the springtime...

She said no, boy you come home to me...

And She said, hey ramblin' boy
Why don't you settle down
Boston ain't your kind of town
There ain't no gold
And there ain't nobody like me
I'm the number one fan
Of the man from Tennessee

How very true...BUT I do love this DB-7 Boston! Smiley

(The 'Suddenly' thread was getting a bit long in the tooth.)

Now that the nightfighters (P-70, P-70B and Havoc) have been put to rest, let's have a glass-nose medium bomber...seen here in her night intruder skin. Coming soon to a download site near you!

Been anxiously awaiting this 'un. Question: Can the nose transparencies be made opaque & the color changed in MDLmat? I think that you can see where I am going with this.

OW, I have to confess that I just don't know the answer. I have no experience with MDLmat. The material used in the model is what I call GLASS, and is keyed to accept transparent textures, though there is no texture applied to the material in this case. Undecided

Are you looking to turn her into a solid nose, painted-over nose? Let me know. Cool

Yes, that would be the plan when the proper glassnose becomes available. The 'glass'.bmp should do just fine with a little alpha tweaking.

Wouldn't it be a lot easier for me to just do a solid or painted-over nose version? Undecided

Suddenly

Kiss

I used to think that love was just a fairy tale

Until that first hello
until that first smile.
But if I had to do it all again I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause this love is everlasting.

Suddenly - life has new meaning to me.
There's beauty up above and things we never take notice of

You wake up and suddenly you're in love.

Everyone's waxing poetic! Smiley

That includes Sopwith, whose airbrush produces pure poetry.

Coming soon, the TR_Boston wearing the skin of DB-7 No 96, GB I/19, 2nd Escadrille. l'Armee de l'Air, 1939-40.

OMG, that's good looking! Cheesy

Cheesy

There's gonna be a Brit intruder skin too. Smiley

TR. Thanks for the beta. At present, all of the window transparencies are using the same 'glass .mdl color so changing the color with MDLmat makes them all opaque. Now if the nose transparencies were using another color, say 'glass 2', then they could be 'painted' over selectively. At any rate, until the Mark III types make their (suspected) appearance, it won't really be an issue and as you stated, making an applicable solid nose version would be another approach. I do like the effect,though.

I hadn't thought about this issue with all the 'glass' being replaced. It can always be avoided in the future by using your suggestion....same material glass with different names for different locations. Brilliant! Cheesy

Cheesy

I'll send you a modified model to test the theory....I'll make the nose glass 'glass1' with the same characteristics as the normal 'glass', but giving you the ability to change the nose only. Gi'me a day to get it together. Undecided
