Nice work Pargoove.
The winglets on the 747 are going to be tough without interference from Vulcan. From memory, there isn't high enough resolution to get you what you're after. Vulcan is the only one that can help. Sadly he's hit a computer snag with his computer last time I heard from him so you may have to be patient.
The 737 is a different story. From your screen shots, it looks like you
may have used an outdated model as a template. I can't be certain. The turbofan texture is a dead give away. It may well be that the template you used doesn't have the fancier looking texture for the fan. When you uplaod the model (as I'm sure you will) you will need to be clear about which 737 variant it is. Have a look at some of the others on DLS (I find Content Manager to be the easiest to do this) and look at the naming structure that Pascal & I use (and are trying to get others to adopt). <Brand><Type>-<variant> <Airline> <year> startup. eg.
Boeing 737-2H4 (Adv) Southwest (1971+) startup . It helps others understand what they are downloading & helps when you want to generate other re-skins from it. There are so many Vulcan models & re-skins out there now that we've had to be a bit organized. Also make sure the right credit is given to Vulcan (see my manual for details). It's only fair since he kindly gives his time & frustration to us free of charge.
The following info is useful for those wanting to do 737 reskins.
The 737 has a range of models now and you have to be careful to pick the right one to start with. So here's the run down.
There are a number of models out there pre "Startup" era. You shouldn't start with any that don't have "Startup" in the title.
We now have the following models with the original Vulcan model (or template).
B737-200(Adv) - Template:- Boeing 737-232 Canadian North startup
B737-500 & 600 - Template:- Boeing 737-683 Scandanavian Airlines startup
B737-300 & 700 - Template:- Boeing 737-781 All Nipon Airways startup
B737-800 - Template:- Boeing 737-81B China Southern startup
Notes.
The pre-startup model is based on one of the shorter 737 variants. Most of the existing re-skins have been heavily distorted to make them work. Over time we'll work to replace them.
The 200 series has variants with shiny jets like the United & Southwest re-skins I've done and also Pascal. Vulcan did some specific model changes for those and anyone re-skinning should be aware of that before making a start.
The models that the 300, 500, 600, 700 & 800 are generated from have a number of features that are able to be turned on or off with a modification the config.txt. This includes winglet and dome options. Vulcan has built us domes for a specific airline so you may have to look around to find the right one. If you're having trouble, ask us. I also have a split scimitar winglets that I haven't tested and rolled out yet. Southwest Airlines have been retrofitting them of late.
Below are the key lines. The auto-create line is how you turn the feature on and off. 1 is on. 0 is off.
dome
{
mesh "body/dome.im"
auto-create
1
att "a.origin"
att-parent "default"
}
wingtips
{
mesh "body/wingtips.im"
auto-create
0
att "a.origin"
att-parent "default"
}
Sorry this got a bit long winded but I thought it was important. The A320 family has a similar system.
I hope it enlightens.
Cheers
