wpnssgt B-52G cockpit

[bernard 0]

Hey wpnssgt, I was wondering what state of development the cockpit with your B-52G was in when it was released. I have been looking at the .out file for the cockpit and was wondering that if the components were there in the model is it possible for movements and textures to be attributed to them or does this reqiure the addition of further nodes in the model to function as needles etc and the use of 3D studio max?

 

I'm asking this more out of curiosity as I am unable to obtain a copy of WoV and am a huge fan of the BUFF. I have limited knowledge of cockpit modelling. I can change the .ini and textures of stock aircraft cockpits but have no knowledge of 3D modelling. Is the B-52G cockpit model going to proceed any further in the future or did the released of the B-52D with WoV knock it on the head?

 

This isn't a "please make x, y or z" type thread, I was just wondering if the model is in a state where anything can be taken further by tinkering rather than full blown 3D modelling.

 

Cheers

Wpnssgt is currently taking a hiatus away from SF. That model was the first one he made, back in late 2002/early 2003, so the chances that he'll take it any further are pretty slim, at best.

Amazon.com has the Wov, used and new. Czech it out. If you don't order online, find somebody who does in your leg of the woods, and pay em a bit to order for you. You need the A-7 cockpit.

I think ebay has The WoV too.

Looks like I'll have to fork out $50 and get it (WoV) imported from the States. Suppose its worth it, just have to bite the bullet... Anyway Lex, it wouldn't do your new nuke effects justice to drop them out of a B-47. Plus that A-7 pit looks pretty sweet. I take it from the screenshots you posted on the thirdwire forums that you worked out how to chop the frames?

Just orders it for $55 from Amazon. Guess its a bit more than I wanted to pay, but I'm sure I'll have fun with that BUFF.....

Great. Other good stuff are the F-8 cockpits. Really nice. They are very dark, but you can lighten them up a bit using some photopaint tricks.

 

Ya, I got a hex editor and learned to go through the cockpit model looking for canopy parts to move. Here are some simhq starter kits to read...
