JAS 39C Gripen Progress

[Gux 0]

I made this model a while ago and I've been looking for a good sim to put it into. SF was suggested to me which turned out great. I couldn't find much info other than the exporter notes so I toyed around replacing an existing plane to get it to work. With some more fiddling I got it work pretty damn well; with animations and everything. I even have a rough cockpit going now.

 

On to the pictures:

Firing the Mauser BK27

Lowres temp cockpit. Ugh.

 

The model is 99% complete, textures needs some work in areas. But it works great ingame, amazingly well for just a few days of work.

[Guest capun]

Pretty good!!

 

We needed the Grippen. Any other models hidden inside your slevees? :)

Just this one for now.

Looking forward to it's release.

Looks Sierra Hotel to these lack of new airframe eyes!

 

Was the Gripen used in any military actions at all?

Seems like an exceedingly capable jet!

Great plane, looking forward to flying it. Have we now got all of Saab's output?

 

Current users of the Gripen are Sweden , Czech Republic and Hungary, so it could see some action in an ultra modern Europe scenario, say against a resurgent Russia flying Su-24s and 27s and Mig 29s and 31s.

 

Also used by South Africa, so could see some action over the Madagascar terrain, maybe against Zimbabwean Hawks or in a modern Red Mad campaign?

Terrific job. Well Done and I, too, cannot wait to fly this beauty.

When you entered the data into the weapon data ini did you then open the weapon editor find the weapon you created open it and then click ok and then save?

Yes, I removed and added it again just now to be sure; it didn't show up. It should work if the weapon station has the right loadlimit, weapon class and attachement type set right?

Good catch and sorry Gux i was a bit preoccupied.

Some early pics of this very Gripen specific weapon:

 

 

I'm planning to make a RBS 15 antiship missile also.

It's mystery solving time!

 

Wierd things is happening when I try to play with my new weapon. The first thing is that they refuse to sit on the pylons despite being centered at 0.0.0 in the model. The other weapon I made worked fine why doesn't this? Also the second thing is that I can't go over 50 knots with them equiped. Can't even take off.

What have I done horribly wrong here?

[+Crusader 2,050]

re: position on pylon :

 

Diameter=50.000000 <<< thats 50 METERS , I think thats screwing it up ...

 

re : 50 kts on TO :

 

probably due to very high drag caused by that big diameter ...

That fixed it; was supposed to be 50 centimeters.

Works perfectly now.

 

Is there any way to have two materials on one weapon model? I wanted to have the nose to have high specularity and reflectiveness, so I made it a separate part with a new material. But then the other material refused to show up ingame.

You should be able to do that as long as it is only one standard material per mesh with a Blinn Shader.
