Am I posting these images in the right place? It seems like a rather active forum, but maybe these dont belong here. Sorry.

Hi Rich,

Absolutely the right place. If it's MSTS and it's a screen shot, there is no better place.

Your texturing really is amazing. Do the models impact on frame rates because of them (the textures)?

Good luck

Not really, Doug. I didnt notice any significant slow-down in the sim. The model is also not a very high poly model, so I think that helps.

But that you have mentioned concern over the textures, I have been thinking of reducing them to see where the "sharp vs. blurry" line is drawn.

Hi Rich,
Not so much concern, more idle curiosity. It will be an interesting experiment.
Some modellers here have been using 2048x2048 textures.

You may have seen it already.

Good luck

Yeah, "concern" wasnt the right word to use. I am not able to edit my posts here anymore.

I did see that thread you're referring to. Interesting. Chris makes some really cool looking textures!

I orginally started out using 2048x textures, but I find that 1024x textures work well enough for these old eyes.

No worries, No offence taken.

Old eyes, yep we're all getting there.
