    what is specularity

    What exactly is specularity and how does it work in FSX? On the Coolsky support forum McPhat Studios explains in detail how specularity works on the new upcoming soon-to-be-released freeware American Airlines UHDT livery.

     
  • Future Flightsim: Part 3 - The Elephant

    flightsim-future-f35

    I wasn’t really planning on making this a three part series, but based on the response to the two first parts I feel the need to address some of the comments I have received and tidy up a few loose ends, because the big elephant is still in the room.

Super 80 Classic World Airliners 2

 

super80-classic-world-airliners-2-1-coolsky

 

Super 80 Classic World Airliners 2 from McPhat Studios is now available! Super 80 classic World Airliners 2 is an Ultra High Definition Textures (UHDT) package with liveries for the Super 80. This package is the most detailed, high definition textures set ever released for FSX. With an incredible 253 pixels per meter ratio, McPhat Studios sets a new standard for FSX texture design.


McPhat Studios writes...

Ten Ultra High Definition Texture sets for Coolsky's Super 80 Classic. With a pixel per meter ratio of 253, these textures are by FACT the most detailed produced textures in the entire history of Flight Simulator. Period. Four times as detailed as the stock Super 80 Classic textures.

Making HD textures is not about blowing up the existing ones, times four. That would be like blowing up a 1 Megapixel photo times 8 and calling it a photo shot with a 8MP camera, or like watching a normal definition movie on a HD television, and calling it a High Definition movie. There for we build the entire kit, from the ground up, and not only for the diffuse map, but also for the specular and bump map, hereby making sure a rivet looks like a rivet, and not an apple sized bump, that scratches, look like scratches and not like grooves and that decals are fully readable and not a blurry mess...

With 253 px/m, you will see the sharpest, tightest textures available today, with all three maps, working together in unison. So where paint is chipped off on the diffuse map, you will see a different kind of glossiness, but also a different kind of reflectivity as the material and structure of the underlying metal is different than that from the painted layer. All this topped off, with a bump map that will actually show the paint chipped off as if it is 3D.

 

Liveries included in the Super 80 classic World Airliners 2 package:

  • Aerolineas Argentinas (old colours)
  • Alaska Airlines
  • Delta Airlines (2007 scheme)
  • Finnair
  • Iberia
  • JAL
  • NWA Orient
  • Spirit Airlines 10th Anniversary
  • USAir (Blue/red)
  • USAir (Orange/red)
