g'day ray...

1. would it be possible to delete the rotating prop spinners
on your semi HR mossie model?... in reality spinners
actually do not appear to not rotate ... the under shadowing
on them also does not rotate with the spinner movement but
remains static as it's a shadow, the rotating cones also
give the impression of a slower speed.

2. spinner cones still don't flush up with the engine cowlings
at some angles..

if this is not possible ...no probs m8, will rejuvenate an earlier
version ....

ade

Ade,

Not sure where that model came from but I can tell you I've never added those slow spinning spinners to anything I've ever built. I can't stand them as they're not realistic.


I'll send you an original version with static spinners and I'll post a copy to my page at talley-ho.

I added them, not Ray. I did it because, the hubs didn't look right in their original form. Finally, this model doesn't work in Glide mode (there are rendering problems with the wings) and well, I've been trying to fix that problem but now I'll stop that too. And after all the criticism of this skin I'm just going to ask Sandbagger to delete it. Then someone else can paint it and post their version and I'll finally have washed my hands of it for good. sigh



Request for deletion has been sent.

The Mossie has been removed from my page, ya'll can do what ever you want to with that model. I am not going to revisit it anytime soon . I guess I am too thin skinned to deal with the constant criticism over it. I've spent the better part of 2 months on it and well, that has just been too much.

Guys.

I'm a bit disappointed with what has happened about the Mossie project.

I was personally encouraging Mike to fix the RS problems with the outer wings, for himself, with my help. He was doing well, fixing the problems, until this all blew up. I don't really care who I upset, but the stupid comments, which have been posted regarding Mike's version of Ray's model, are ridicules.

If you don't like turning spinners, you don't use Mike's model and skins. It's all a question of taste, and certainly nothing to get personal about.

We all give our work freely, for others to enjoy, and because of that, no one has the right to run down another persons work. You either like it, or you don't.

It's that simple!

There are only 6 days left until Christmas. Lets enter the time of good will unto all men, in peace and harmony.

I expressed my personal preference which is allowed in this venue.

Note that I didn't suggest anyone else should avoid using the turning spinners.





As for Mike taking down his skins, that's his choice and I respect it, however since it was a team effort I'm free to post a base model on my page.

There certainly won't be as many nice skins to chose from but the model will be there for others to use and skin as they see fit.

gibbo

as u can read on this thread, neither ray or myself knew
IM's version had rotating props prior to dowmloading it.
ray has since sent me his original static prop version to
work on, i've also rejuvenated the default LR mossie updated
some time ago by 'red eyes' - this will do for the time
being...
