+Armourdave Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 As posted at SIMHQ. ------------- Well here it is..Warts and all, as they say. PLEASE feel free to host it and post the URL here. http://3dactionplanet.com/flashpoint/winte...ages/f-105D.zip 8.9MB's The readme: --------------------------------------------- F-105 "Thud" Thunderchief for Strike Fighters by Armourdave --------------------------------------------- F-105 Release 0.5a Original aircraft Textures : Deuces Decals and extra aircraft texture work : Crab_02 USAF1 textures : Marcelo Everything else : Me Template (T1.zip, T2.zip, T3.zip, and T4.zip) : Marcelo Thanks to DanW and TK of Thirdwire, Swede, Gecko, Sal, Rafael for help and support. Foreword =========================== This addon is not in great shape. Quite a few of the cockpit instruments dont work, some arent there at all. There's no LOD's (I tried for 3 hours straight to get the 2nd LOD to show, no luck), there's no shadow, the flight model is crap at best. I dont really have the enthusiasm to finish this particular project. That said, I feel this project has been a success, it's my first REAL addon for any sim or game. I've learnt a lot and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. If someone SERIOUSLY wishes to "complete" it, email me and I'll send the neccessary files. If you dont like this addon, dont feel it meets your requirements or you find it brings your fps down then dont whine, bitch and complain just delete it. Required: =========================== Strike fighters Service Pack 1 Installation: =========================== Simply unzip the F-105D folder into your Strike Fighters BetaObjectsAircraft directory, start strike fighters and select F-105 Thunderchief from the single mission aircraft menu. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE "KEEP DIRECTORY STRUCTURE" CHECKED IN YOUR UN-ZIPPERS PREFERENCES. Disclaimer: =========================== This addon package is a non-commercial addon package.

navychief Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Amourdave, the F-105 is spectacular! I just flew it around a bit..... Definitely more tricky to land, though, than the F-4.... It is a great addition. THANKS! and GOOD JOB!!! Chief W. Quote
+MadJeff Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Files up in the downloads area. Great job Armourdave! Quote
Hedu VF-143 Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Could someone do a review of this addon, what the warts are and all? I am trying to be picky about add ons, and it is better to get a review that to d/l and then uninstall if I have to. I love the Thud, but should I wait for the fixes to complete it? Quote
stevechester Posted February 27, 2003 Posted February 27, 2003 Thank you for the 105, flew it in a stike mission and laid a slick right down the runway. Love it. Quote

+Dagger Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 this is so cool..it's even carrys Virginia tail markings! Way cool...now to learn to fly it and see what we all can do to help them finish it. Quote
+Armourdave Posted February 28, 2003 Author Posted February 28, 2003 Thanks for the compliments guys :) The reaction so far has been better than I expected which is really encouraging. Hedu, There's no harm in trying it now. It's only a 9MB download which even on dialup will only take you 45 minutes to download. Jeff, Thanks for hosting it! Ranger, Refer to this topic, http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cg...c;f=55;t=004407 One other person has had the same CTD problem and it seems he didnt unzip it correctly. Dagger, That skin was done by marcelo, he has about 10 more which he should be putting online very soon! http://www.marcfighters.hpg.ig.com.br/fotos105.htm Quote
Guest Ranger332 Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 One other person has had the same CTD problem and it seems he didnt unzip it correctly. Dagger, SO HOW IS IT CORRECTED IF THATS THE PROB Quote

Sal_ Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Super plane Dave! Your models are really very high class. The Thud sure is fun to fly on bombing missions. :D Quote
Hedu VF-143 Posted February 28, 2003 Posted February 28, 2003 Dave, I went ahead and d/l'ed it before you posted anyway. I love the Thud, and your add on is no dissappointment at all. It looks great and flies great. I have only one question, and that is is it possible to up the gamma in the cockpit view? Mine is a little dark. other than that, i love it! Thnak you very much for the add on. Quote
