Lexx_Luthor 57 Posted May 17, 2007 Marc, make sure the crew section has double sided canopy struts -- the more 3D the better like B-58 or Tu-16. This allows chopped cockpits to be placed inside the external model. Also, make sure the dark or hazy canopy "glass" is a seperate tga file (thus delete-able), or that the grimy "glass" is not visible from inside the external model. The static dirty/hazy canopy "glass" method of "glass reflection" darkens the external environment light and kills low light level operations such as the Northrop B-2 was especially made for. One sided canopy struts and fixed unremovable "glass" grime/haze are the only two things preventing some really interesting models from having cockpits placed inside their crew areas. (1) The interesting Zeppelin model made for WW1 Sim has nice crew gondola, but a cockpit cannot be placed inside as the gondola windows are fogged over inside and out and this can't be removed without 3DMax. (2) The developing V-bomber series (MiG-25 also) all have one-sided canopy struts for the crew compartments. Move a chopped cockpit inside and the canopy framework vanishes. This is high tragedy. It would be so neat to move, say, a chopped upcoming Buccaneer cockpit into an upcoming Vulcan external model. (3) ThudWire's Tu-22 model has a strange behavior -- nice clear canopy seen from the inside, but vanishes when looking in the forward 30 degree cone. Tu-16 has this, but the vanishing happens looking aft but we all look forward, so Tu-16, with its intense 3D crew compartment, makes for an especially fun bird to fly with a chopped cockpit placed inside. If you have not, use external free camera to explore the inside of the ThudWire An-12 model. Its made to fly almost as-is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

highlyflammable 0 Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) does the B-2 have any control over yaw? because i think i remember reading a book in which it had rudders but that was fiction and if that detail is true i dont see any rudders Edited May 18, 2007 by highlyflammable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eraser_tr 29 Posted May 18, 2007 I think they act like one side only airbrakes. ie the open and only create drag on one side to turn the plane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jtin 0 Posted May 19, 2007 Hi My Friends ! :ph34r: More Screens . Nice! Any pics of the spirit in it's natural habitat (night)? I bet rudders would decrease the stealth factor, especially vertical ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
