Four years of Fg Shuttle Screenshots

Postby GinGin » Sun Aug 25, 2019 12:41 am

I made some reorganisation in my 2000 images and made a selection of the best one I had on FG during those 2 years.
Always nice to see the evolution over the time :)

Yes, indeed
I printed them to have it around the screens :)

Is it hard to do ?
It would be like a jpeg place somewhere that we can edit or change ?

Yes.

Adding a mesh is trivial, but integrating them into the cockpit lighting concept is a completely different beast.

It sort of works (and to improve readability, each page can be popped out into a separate window by clicking on it):

I saw your changes on the dev branch, outstanding.
I thought it was hard :)

Looking forward to test that this week end.

Do you need a proper sum up of where go every cue cards ?

I cheated.

Still, a good 8 hours work.

I think I'll just distinguish between binder (two-pages) and card (single page) positions - while there are operational procedures which determine which card goes where, we should not hard-code this in the simulation - after all, it's velcro, you can stick on whatever holds :mrgreen:

Fantastic.

I thought we updated the CWS display so it wasn't so obnoxious? We did, I just checked it and the ugly effect is from the lightmaps for the glare shield lighting. I think I can edit the lightmap and get rid of all the shadowing of the internal mesh of the CWS that was created when burning the map. It needs to cast a more solid light map without all the background rectangles.
