EricJ Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Well thanks to AmokFloo, with his help it may be implemented in the series.... hopefully since Marcfighter's issues and I'd like to see one, so I asked him to see what he could do, and this is what he did by reducing it to a more decent poly size. ETA so far is "two weeks" so whenever he gets it done, It'd be nice: Quote
FastCargo Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Cool...we'll see ya when we see ya...:) FastCargo Quote
EricJ Posted March 9, 2008 Author Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks... but just to keep things legal... Re: F/A-18F modelFrom: Marv Mays (mm@meshfactory.com) Sent:Thu 4/05/07 11:36 AM To: Eric Johnson Eric, As long as the model is converted into a proprietary format, encrypted, or is merged into a some sort of binary executable game file, it would be fine. What we don't want is the model and textures distributed with the sim in a common/commercial 3d format that would allow it to be separated and then re-distributed as a stand-alone commercial 3d model. Let me know if I can be of further assistance!

+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 We need this in our sim! This sim is damn better than ATF .. just the quickmission builder is a pain in a the A$$. Cool model! Quote
EricJ Posted March 17, 2008 Author Posted March 17, 2008 Actually I try not to admit ever playing ATF, but I did..... and don't look upon it as fun times..... was okay due to the variety... but that's about it. Then again, The SF series would benefit from an in-game mission builder rather than a seperate utility. While the utility is pretty cool, it's better incorporated into the sim, along with an Encylopedia too But back on my topic, slight update from AmokFloo, seems the doors aren't sized right, as he found out when mucking with the gear area... more to follow..

EricJ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Well so far AmokFloo has gotten the gear area redone, and hopefully next week I should be getting it texture mapped. Failing that I may ask somebody but if there are any volunteers...? Quote

Failing that I may ask somebody but if there are any volunteers...? Oh I know a couple guys who would probably skin it for you. Quote
EricJ Posted March 22, 2008 Author Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah but not so much skinning, it's getting the model applied with a map. Right now AmokFloo is of course busy as he is, and he said that for me to get it complete, he can get it into the game, but for the rest, it'd take months, and as you know I'm running out of that..

If Amok can get it fully operational in the game, I will get someone to map it. I will see if my "contact" can help. Quote
pablo10692 Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 Really nice! Awesome! Now we just need a modder to do the Rafale! Quote
EricJ Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 Due to AmokFloo having some real life issues, he's managed to only work on it... and here's a (very) short clip showing the generic animations. With a few reference shots, he's beginning to work on the airbrakes. FA_18EGEAR.rar Quote
+Gocad Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 I just wanted to say that I look forward to its release. Also, skin templates would be nice. Quote
+drdoyo Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Looking GREAT!! I've already got one idea for a ficticious "E" skin Quote
EricJ Posted March 30, 2008 Author Posted March 30, 2008 Well... I'm only concentrating on the F version, as that's the only model I have and tha's what he's playing with.. And yeah, skin templates, at the basic level will be available. Quote
HrntFixr Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 From what I've seen of them, the "E" and "F" skins for the most part are the same. I've got a boatload of decal sheets standing by! Quote
Caveman Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 anyone thinkin....Israeli skin???....ehh don't mind the madman behind the curtin Quote
+ace888 Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 EricJ and Amokfloo... you guys ROCK! This will be a nice addition. Will this F/A-18F be for WOI or WOE or ALL the Third Wire product? It would be nice if in the VERY NEAR FUTURE there will be Mirage 2000-5 MKII, Mirage F-1CT, and Rafale to be made. I wish I can help but I am still learnig about aircraft add-on and the basic of making AI airplane fly... Keep up the excellent work! Quote
