Black and brown would have no contrast going up or down the loader, you couldn't tell them apart.

I think the color of the bags is fine as it is right now. Black and brown also does not have my preference. If they do get changed, I would have to change them back manually by adjusting the textures. Or make it an option so people can choose what they want.

Yes, but if we went with a tan/gray combo it would still have contrast and look decent at night also.   Just throwing some ideas out there for discussion.

I personally travel with a bright orange suitcase in real life. When I saw all the red suitcases in GSX it made me smile cos they looked just slighty off colour compared to my suitcase and I could easily imagine mine amongst them. Tongue

Maybe a solution would be to have a "bank" of bags like duffel, some boxes, strollers etc. and then have the engine randomly pick some? So like what they do with the caterers or servicemen? I don't know if it's possible, but just a thought.

Also, Bruce, I think your age is probably getting to you  Cheesy I think we'd be able to see the brown bags on the loader.

If it was that easy, we would have already done it, long ago...the issue is, the baggage animation is very tricky and complex, and is tied to the man handling it, and is also synchronized with the baggage train, since a bag start its life as hierarchically linked to the conveyor belt bone, then it's passed in the hands of the man that picks it up, then it's passed to the wagon.

In fact, with the container pallets, we made it more flexible, but it was easier, since nobody has to touch the pallet, so it can be a separate objects that can move on its own, and thus having multiple liveries easily.

As I've said, we might have two different colors fairly easily, but not many variations at the same time.

I didn't say you wouldn't see them, I said there would be no contrast between them, so under certain lighting conditions, they'd all appear the same color.  I think your age is getting to you, might need your eyes examined.  Wink Cheesy

Got them examined for my PPL and they were 20/20  Wink. Is that really you in your profile pic? If so, you are one of the most tech-savvy oldtimers I have ever seen! Bravo  Cheesy

20/20, eh?  Is that with or without your glasses?  Grin  Yes, that picture is really me, and my oldtimer tech savvy comes from a two year college, with an associates degree in computer science.   Wink
