The Works In Progress Thread

[Wrench 9,846]

Ok, folks here we're going to have a listing of "What In the Works" ... things coming down the pipeline for us all to enjoy.

 

So guys, go ahead and list what terrains or terrain mods are being worked on (or re-worked), new aircraft, ground objects (including buildings, ships, vehicles, etc)

Even though there is a whole sub-forum for Missions and Campaigns, I think just a quick little note saying if any new ones of those are being made, can also be listed. Just don't go overboard!

 

The primary purpose of this thread to let everyone know what's going on; for the most part those projects that can be shown to the General Public ™. I know there a LOT of stuff going on behind the scenes at the various Modding Facilites, some of which are classifed, and not for public examination until release.

 

Keep the discussion ONLY on the topic -- any and all comments that detract from showing what's WIP will be deleted INSTANTLY -- there's too much unnecessary BS in too many threads (best example: the screenshot thread) that derail the intent and purpose of the thread.

This is the only warning you'll recieve on this matter. So don't get tweeked-off when your post vanishes.

 

Pictures are fine, and keep this to 3rd Wire sims only.

Side Projects

[+Timmy 1]

Lexx is sorting the AJ-32 Lansen FM and I've still got some things to do with it.

Will eventually change the 3D model to a B model as well.

 

Have a Yak-19 that needs to be skinned and has a problem with the one landing gear.

 

Been tinkering with the Rockwell/North American version of the FX (F-15)

 

My work schedule is all jacked up so I haven't had time to work on any of the above in quite a while...

[+Stary 2,427]

Ok, so here it is:

 

Higher priority:

 

1.Curtiss Hawk model 75A cockpit -75% done, setting up gauges, need canopy rework and glass+reflections meshes, release date unknown

 

2.P-40B cockpit- 20% complete, based on Hawk 75A cockpit progress, need major mesh modifications/texture work, release after the above

 

3.generic realistic effects pack First Eagles/WW2 oriented -about 30% done, it's very time-consuming, release date unknown

 

Lower priority:

 

4.New Korea terrain(by Brain32 & Wrench) -need trees height/shape/color corrections, city tiles to be populated, other members progress dependent

 

5.Spring/Summer seasons for WOE -using tods from winter and fall versions, need new graphics

 

6.EAW Euro (modern) by Wrench -tileset bugs tweaks -currently on hold due to lack of working texture list

 

7.various city buildings -digged up from the abbys, need proper collisionmeshes

[krfrge 742]

Here are some very rough works.

 

All SFP1/WoE/WoV compatible

 

Terrain

Centra - 1000km area including basically American Northeast and a part of Canada. Uses stock SFP1 tiles

 

Airfields

Three fictional "blue" airfields with accompanying airfield lights. Uses comrpnt's Airfield Lights.

 

Target Areas

Basically some infantry company / battalion sized areas (I am no Wrench when it comes to his masterful targets)

 

Campaign

Centra - Begins in 1967. Fictional North Centra occupies Monogohelia Territory. South Centra requests US assistance and goes on offensive to expel N Centra and Soviet forces. (Same problem as JA 37 Viggen, cant figure out what is causing a stream error message on the nodes while using DCE (Dynamic Campaign Editor))

[kct 5]

Skins:

 

335th TFS throughout the years (in other words, F-4Es of the 335th TFS from SEA to Hill, rework of some of the other skins out there), getting the serials right.

Euro and Hill are rework of Sundowner's (would ask for permission).

A quick and dirty RAF F-111A (as opposed to an F-111K) for SF2.

 

Oh, and I might do a Super Sabre FGA.2 which has the inflight refuelling probe re-instated for those long deployments to Dhimar or even 'Nam

[+Jug 99]

Buccaneer ! Great idea!

I am available to help with the lighting. I can research and fix the .INI files for lighting on any aircraft. Not much to offer, but it may save a modder with a model near completion some painful hours. Probably the wrong thread to mention this, so sue me.

 

 

 

(I've left the comment post in, as Jug's work with lighting is a critical to the enjoyment of night flying )

[gillg 4]

Hi guys, i have started a Sweden/Finland/Russia map, (hence the questions) Been ongoing for around 6-8 months. Just learning, so might take a while. U know life happens and stuff.

 

Also working on campaign for map. Around '83 when Russia got sprung spying on the Swed's. Whiskey class sub ran aground near Sundsvall. Viggens and Drakens versus Floggers and Fishbeds. Wish me luck.
