Recent progress in model atmospheres for hot stars is presented. The impact of nlte wind-blanketed models is shown by comparison with the ‘old’ standard model. In order to confindently use the IR-spectra of objects at the Galactic Center (with high extinction) to derive their physical properties and trace the metal content, the consistency between results from optical and IR analysis is checked in a calibration study using the B1.5Ia+ star HDE 316285. With the above consistency proved, we started a detail investigation of the Pistol Star. Preliminary results are presented.
