What is it you want to know?

Just a Second he is about to post...taking some screenshots.

 

thanks, so far

[SUICIDAL 401]

Thanks FC.

Well as you can see this is the landing gear of the Rafale

The front landing gear is a bit complicated to me.

 

 

[SUICIDAL 401]

What I am trying to know is how many pieces I can animate.

When exports are misplaced.

Perhaps this the wrong tree connections?

[FastCargo 412]

 

Okay, first thing is I've color coded what parts are what (I'm assuming here):

 

Green - Steering Collar

Tan - Lower Shock Strut

Red - Upper and Lower Scissors (2 parts)

Blue - Upper Shock Strut

 

The heirarchy tree would be:

 

Steering Collar

-Upper Shock Strut

--Upper Scissors

--Lower Shock Strut

---Wheels

---Lower Scissors

 

The Steering Collar would be linked to the rest of the main part of the nose gear.

 

The Upper Scissors, Lower Scissors and Lower Shock Strut would be animated for the 'shock' strut.

 

The Steering Collar is not animated, but moves using the SteeringNode= parameter in the data.ini for the nose gear.

 

That will take care of the 'shock' and nose wheel steering.

As far as retraction into the nose, you would need some better pics of the actual aircraft nose gear area to determine how the gear retracts.

VAQ-129 retexture WIP, and good to see a little progress on the Rafale....

Edited September 14, 2009 by EricJ

[+EricJ 4,245]

Since I'm pretty much satisfied with the skin, I'm going to just release the GBU-12 retexture here. It should be noted that this is based off of Thirdwire original files, and replaces the current scheme (should you prefer this one).

GBU-12retexture.7z

[+EricJ 4,245]

And a GBU-38 retexture:

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

They look good, some weapons realy needs new skins.. some new LOD.. but Ravenclaw is on some..

[+EricJ 4,245]

That's good news though, I need to convert his GBU-15 series to SF2, outstanding models...

[+EricJ 4,245]

Started on a guided weapons tutorial, but need some help in what you are all looking for. I've got LGBs pretty much covered, but need any requests or advice..

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

One is sure, he covered the whole AGM-65 family

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Do oyu have any pics of the Rafale?

[SUICIDAL 401]

grab a moment I found a very decent model of a SU-25

So I decided to download it.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Jop nice model!

 

@EricJ what about the Rafale

[+EricJ 4,245]

suicidal is the modeler on that one, and JAT81500 is waiting on the model, so right now its based on how fast suicidal moves on it.

[SUICIDAL 401]

jajajajajaja....

 

I'm a little turtle.

But the thing going

I've got 50%

Tonight, beginning with the skin

I'm going to map.

 

 

 

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

That`s exactly what I was looking for!! dam good work on this! thx!!!

[+EricJ 4,245]

Nice work and worth the turtle wait, most definitely . For the Su-25 I'm guessing you're going to give it a try?

 

And nice find on the site too... sorry for the delayed reply, but the Rafale is just nice...

You're my hero !!

[SUICIDAL 401]

I was a little complicated with the animations.

But mostly with problems when exporting.

My MAX did not export it.

And the polys were very high.

But this progress.

 

FastCargo thank you very much for your help.

It really helped me a lot

[FastCargo 412]

Wish I could help more...just barely have any time and too much on the plate. Looking good!

Looks good is this the "C"? or the M, what versions are you planing?

[SUICIDAL 401]

As explained to me Eric J..

The only difference between C and M is the braking Hook.

Removing it would have the two versions.
