CGReload Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Hey guys, I noticed an odd change to the Spitfires tail section after the recent update. The top fuse, area just before the rudder seems to have an odd change to the model. Looks almost like they removed some of the 3D Vertices used to round out the area and now it gives it a sharp curve instead a nice smooth curve, right where the rudder meets the top of the fuselage. Im a picky guy with detail so the minute I loaded it up right after the recent Spitfire/Normandy update I immediately noticed this. Anyone know if this is a known issue?... Pics are below Edited July 11, 2018 by CGReload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGReload Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Spitfire - Issue with 3d Model, Rudder to Fuselage area Noticed this immediately after the recent update. Looks like the 3d Vertices which connect the fuse to the Rudder are offset. Here is a before and after picture Edited July 11, 2018 by CGReload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goblin Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I checked with Paul H. Monfortons "Spitfire Mk. IX & XVI Engineered" book, and there should be a kink there... Looks right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joey45 Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Here's a better view of the tail The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Goblin Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Where exactly do you see the pronounced "kink" as in OP's screenshot? Right there in the drawing... Here’s another drawing of the tail. This time by the plastic model manufacturer, Eduard. I know their research to be very good, but I guess one shouldn’t consider it the gospel truth. There is a kink where the dorsal fairing attaches to the vertical stabilizer. I think it looks a lot like that last pic, in the post above.

DeepDrummer Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I looked at one today live. It has a very noticeable kink. The pic didn't do it justice unfortunately.

ED Team NineLine Posted August 1, 2018 ED Team Share Posted August 1, 2018 I've asked one of the Team to take a look at this that is more familiar with 3D modeling of these modules, will let you know what I find out.

Goblin Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) I tried superimposing Monfortons drawing onto a flipped copy of joey45’s pic. There seems to be something odd about the leading edge of the vertical stab, and the dorsal fairing, but one can’t be completely sure when comparing 3D models to 2D drawings.

I think it looks a lot like that last pic, in the post above. Your drawing shows a nice curve past the round panel, while the ED model has a significant kink right above the round panel. The real kink, if it can even be called that, is caused by a very slight bulge in the upper forward section of the tail.

It’s not a perfect smooth curve, all the way. But please read my subsequent post as well. You are falling behind in the discussion ;) https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3584673&postcount=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
