XJ-38 LightningStrike

26.9k Sunnyskies  8.0 years ago
Auto Credit Based on Sunnyskies's Sky Lightning Detail Update

A P-38 modded into a supersonic racing jet. The shorter wings and lower drag improve high-speed performance. The plane is very fast, and very agile. Many features were done away with, but it still retains the inboard flaps and original landing gear.

    @ChiChiWerx When you see the strings for palette colors at the bottom of the file like "Material color="003FFF" r="0.3" m="0.5" s="0.83"", the values m= and s= affect the reflectiveness. Setting both of these values to "1" has the chrome effect. It's more visible the lighter the color is, like white.

    How'd you do the chrome colored canopy? I know there's some sort of XML mod, but don't know the routine...

    @tuco Thanks!


    @Treadmill103 Yeah! the design is naturally very tight aerodynamically. All it needed was a little tweaking, and you have a super-agile supersonic jet.
