About Checksix megapack WoW!

[macelena 1,070]

Here is a couple bugs getting me mad since I downloaded a SFP1megapack from cheksix, suggested to get F-18 better HUD:

 

The wingtip droptanks at F-5A (Mirage Factory)... the portside tank doesn´t appear!

 

The F-18 doesn´t recognize decals (not even Nationname nor Insignia, didn´t mistake the adress), just paints BMPs

 

Please someone help me fix this

 

But :

GOT THE AADVARK COCKPIT

INCLUDES ISRAEL, DESERT AND VIETNAM TERRAINS WITH BRIDGES

GOT ALL MIRAGES, CORSAIRS, LOT OF SKINS,GIVES INIS TO MOD STANDARD AIRCRAFT

 

I forgot the link to the patch, but it shall be easy to find here http://www.checksix-fr.com/

Ok, thx

not sure about what yu mean with "doesn't recognize decals" for F-18

 

decals are an option for skins, it's not compulsary to make use of them, some skinners might prefer to avoid them for any reason....

 

F-18 does support decals like any other plane in the game

 

The F-5 wingtip tankl is rather weird

 

Note that this pack is quite old and using it on a patched game should lead to issues, especially with external loads and flight models

I mean that there is a decals file, wich work with the standard, poor HUD hornet mod. Used an spanish and a marines skin, but the only one in wich

the decals worked was the default, Blue Angels skin

Wait...there's a F-5A wingtip tank mod? Dang, wasn't aware of that. Are they at all like the tear shaped tanks that were used on the CF-5A?

Well, i didn´t download the CF-5A, but i´ll download and see if tanks fit. The wingtip drop tanks look like two eggs(no kidding) stuck by the base

( the center of the fuselage of this tank is thiner than its points due to the rule of area, i guess)

for decals, most problem a typo in decals.ini file

 

haven't the pack installed anymore so can't check right now

[FastCargo 412]

Yes, there are wingtip tanks for the F-5s. There is a weapondata entry for the tanks, because the tanks are not symmetrical (ie there is a left and right one). The way it was done is that there is only one data entry, but it looks for 2 LOD files. You may want to check to see if that is the problem.

 

Also, FYI, the current shape of the F-5 wing tanks are wrong. The current ones in the weaponspack are area ruled, but area ruled like a coke bottle. The real tanks are actually asymetrically area ruled...with the ruling done on the inner facing portion of the tank, but the outer facing portion is straight. The MF is already working on changing them to the correct shape.

Good to know, fastcargo. It would be fantastic to have them for bobrocks F-5B.

 

Sonny, i thought it could be a wrong entry for decals.ini file, but i know nothing about skinning.

There is an F-5B in the works?

Yep. Check Gallery, i don´t remember the link,but it´s there.

I think it´s bobrock, the italian modder of the AV-8B+. I hope he makes another cockpit

with cute details (his harrier pit included a picture of Monica Belluci- not nude)

[FastCargo 412]

Really...got a link to that F-5B picture?

I'm pretty sure that's Fast Cargo's T-38

I thought it was bobrock´s. Don´t know why. Perhaps i was thinking of F-5F, sorry
