P-51 texture/model issue. Appears on default and custom skins. Help appreciated?

[Mysticpuma]

Well, I went and updated a custom skin, with the same resolution 1152x864 (what I usually record with Fraps) and found the 'Black Triangles'.

So after changing the colour of the texture I now have this:



Will test again at higher resolution (1920x1200), but it's a pain to record at the rez. with FRAPS.

Cheers, MP

I think I have 'fixed' it myself. For some reason I was in DirectX mode (without noticing) and then saw that by changing it back to OpenGL, the Black Triangles disappeared. Cool!

Cheers, MP

Those are external aileron hinge stiffeners.

How about airfoils? I'm a bit curious about those "humps" so if you could provide a source, I'd be grateful.

And I got an answer about the "humps" on real Mustangs. They are there to clear the bell cranks for the aileron controls. So there ya go.

Hey thanks! I could get an idea of the principle in there and I see what you mean. I'd love to see the actual movement though. Can't really visualize the movement/attach points from that blueprint. The rod is attached to the lower half of the flap and pushes/retracts, while the upper part is hinged/pivots via a stabilizer?

Didn't even notice that, Rodolphe. Missile tree and "dive flaps".
