malibu43 Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Hey folks, I've been trying to find a 150 gal droptank for the skyraiders, and couldn't find anything in the weps pack that seemed to work. I was hoping maybe and experienced modeler might be able to throw one together... If it can be done, I'd really appreciate it. If not, no big deal. Thanks!
mppd Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Yes, of course it can be done! It is on my list of things to do after I finish with these little do-dads for the Phantom. Give me a few days. Need to dig up dimensions though, probably from the reference I have should not de difficult. Mike D. the new 3D guy (for little stuff only though...)
Czech6 Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Malibu, Try the OV-10 150 gal. tank. I'm using it on the A-4 and the A-1.
+Wrench Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 How about only filling them up half way.....?????? Ducks and runs very fast for a fat guy..... Wrench kevin stein

Here's what I'm using: [LeftWingStationFuel] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=16 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=-2.90,0.08,-0.770 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1020.6 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=NATO,USN,USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.9 PylonDragArea=0.03 FuelTankName=Tank_OV-10 [RightWingStationFuel] SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=17 StationGroupID=4 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition=2.90,0.08,-0.770 AttachmentAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0 LoadLimit=1020.6 AllowedWeaponClass=FT AttachmentType=NATO,USN,USAF ModelNodeName= PylonMass=108.9 PylonDragArea=0.03 FuelTankName=Tank_OV-10

Funny, I found that the attachment position that gave me the right look was -0.83, very different from 0.08. Are you using the free A-1H or the Razbam models? *edit* - I realized that there are 3 or 4 different attachment position variations depending on which of the Razbam skyraiders you're using, hence the different values. Got em all squared away! Edited July 12, 2008 by malibu43
