Hawker & Beer: Questions about the PHM Pegasus Model

Recommended Posts

Hawker, Beer

 

I have been working with Beer's Pegasus model so I can learn 3DS MAX and apply some of Hawker's tips like exporting points

 

I have a couple of questions about the Hawker modified Pegasus MAX model and ini.

 

- Shouldn't the ini model names match the MAX objects

 

For example in the Ini file there is this entry

[Hull]

ModelNodeName=body

 

Shouldn't the name be either Hull or Superstruc like the objects in the MAX file?

 

Here are a couple of other entries:

[superstructure]

ModelNodeName=Super_windows

 

I expected the name to be Superstruc

 

[Turret]

ParentComponentName=chassis

ModelNodeName=turret

 

Here I expected the name to be Hull or Superstruc and Turret01

 

- What defines the Max and Mix Extend Positions?

 

[superstructure]

ModelNodeName=Super_windows

EffectSize=1.0

MaxExtentPosition= 2.40,7.00,12.00

MinExtentPosition=-2.40,-11.00, 6.00

 

Is that a box where the model can Pitch and Yaw within those limits from the CG?

 

- How do you set the boats height in relation to the water level?

 

I have been playing with a Nanuchka II model reducing the poly count, scaling it to SFP1. I am running into a problem where the boat is sitting too deep into the water and the bow angle is to high. Well besided not being able to get the Missiles to work.

 

I am finding that 3DS MAX has a steep learning curve specially that I don't have the time to just sit and work with it for a long stretch of time. I find it helpful looking at a build model and just play with it.

 

Thanks
