@D-ECHO @viktorradnai I believe this is ready to be merged

[ghost]

From my side it's "clear for merge" :D Will let Viktor look over it as well. Thanks for your great great work @gilbertohasnofb (and @viktorradnai )

@D-ECHO Sounds good to me, so let's wait for @viktorradnai to take a look. And thanks for all the work with the UV mapping and 3D modelling, this cockpit is looking very nice :smile:

Hi @gilbertohasnofb, I think the callsigns on the exterior of G-CKEJ and G-JWD ended up worse than they were before. The font colour is too light and the stretching I applied to the markings on the underside of the wing is gone. I also think the reg on the side of the fuselage is a bit too small now, the previous size looked better for me. What was the reason for these changes? Were you trying to make them look more similar to any particular photo(s) on the Internet?

[viktorradnai]

@D-ECHO there is a bug with the rear PTT button you just added. It's not animated with the rest of the stick so it stays suspended mid-air when you move the stick around :)

[viktorradnai]

BTW, the exterior of the glider stil looks too dark to me when it's in a cloud shadow (it's fine in sunshine). What settings are you guys running Flightgear with? Could you please start at midday with nice fluffy cumulus clouds and take a few screenshots when you are in their shadow?

Also the inside of the cockpit always looks like there is bright sunshine on it which makes the contrast look even worse.

For the PTT i totally forget will fix this evening, the Problem with shading i have as well but doesn't belong here?

You are right, I have seen some photos now and indeed these could be better. I will take a look at those today and push some improvements, thanks for pointing it out!

[gilbertohasnofb]

@viktorradnai I have improved those two liveries, please take a look and see what you think

[viktorradnai]

@gilbertohasnofb thanks for this, looks good now. FYI I've actually spent hours one night trying to find photos and tweaking / stretching / positioning the font to look like the couple of photos of the underside that I could find :) Even with that it isn't perfect but it will do until one day I'll get around to visit the winch with my zoom camera and take some pics for documentation purposes. When I go flying I rarely have it on me.

[viktorradnai]

Guys, I'll merge this, we can figure out #83 later :)

[gilbertohasnofb]

@viktorradnai I have actually changed a little bit the position of the text on the sides as before they were not matching in the position (that is, when comparing the left and right sides, one was higher than the other, and one was a bit further back than the other). But other than that I used the previous livery as reference. As for the bottom of the wings, I did match quite exactly what you came up with before so that should be better now :smile:

See this pic for reference:

No idea why it was done like this, with the competition ID significantly smaller, maybe so it wouldn't be mistaken with the registration.

[gilbertohasnofb]

@viktorradnai I meant the sides of the fuselage, not the left/right wings. That is, the registration on fthe left of the fuselage is now matched in position to the registration in the right. About the wings, I did put them pretty much in the same position as you put before, so I think it should be all good now :smile:

Great picture, by the way, shows what you are saying very clearly. I wouldn't have imagined they would use it this way

[viktorradnai]

Right, thanks, didn't realise they were out of alignment.

For the underside shot, I was lucky someone took that, I haven't got any just yet.
