Thanks, although I cant take all the credit here. I did'nt make the original model I downloaded it from the net [freeware of course] it looked pretty good to start with but I have to admit that the only part I havent needed to to completely re-do has been the radome....so far, the area around the cockpit being one that I keep returning to as I'm still not 100% happy with it. I'm too lazy to start a model from scratch but I might as well have done really as once I started skinning it that's when I realised just how far out most of it was.... every single part has been totally remapped and changed in one way or another. 1 2 Quote

I can appreciate that brother, having to sort out and correct the deficiencies in unrefined mesh is just as hard and time-consuming as working from scratch! Moreover, what most don't realise is that the modelling part is the easy part(!) .. getting the model into the game is most of the work!! Good luck!! I'm very much looking forward to flying this beauty when she's ready! 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 a surprise WIP from angelp. Still a long way off, but has much promise! Reusing the decals from my old DAT Boston mod. There's a gun-nosed A-20G in the works (also reusing my decals from the ETO Havoc). It looks really good close up; i've sent him over 300 megs of e-books on the Havoc. So, it's gonna be done right! Been begging for a new one for years.... 13 2 Quote
Wilches Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 What a surprise!!!! Looks very good. A much needed plane for sure. Hope it has a dedicated cockpit. A millions of skins to be done!! Quote
JosefK Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe I'm crazy but I've decided this week while RL gives me a slow moment to try to port this SF1 attempt at a Steregushchiy class corvette over to SF2. Nihon Hitori 2020 really needs ships of 2020, not 1990! I have the mesh, I am going over the ini codes from successful SF2 Russian/Soviet warships to port over. What I don't have is a collision.LOD. 2 Quote
+Wrench Posted December 30, 2019 Posted December 30, 2019 collision lod = copy/paste ship's main lod up and back into the ship's main folder (it will now read as "name-of-ship_copy.lod" rename to "name-of-ship_collision.lod" enter said name into ships' data ini done. 1 Quote

THANK YOU! :-) Quote
JosefK Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Now that I've got a collision LOD and placed the wake effects on this Russian corvette... Ought to as well warn you all right now I have every intention to use @KJakker's Slava ini update as a baseline for programming the weapons. I prefer realism, something that works since that's what kept this SF1 attempt at a Steregushchiy class corvette out of SF2 and not some target to plink. I suspect you do as well. Below is my current desktop. Beneath the two text files is Chrome open to the Steregushchiy class corvette Wikipedia entry. On top are two text files. One of which to port/left is the corvette, the one to starboard is KJakker's Slava upgrade. As you can see, there's some serious work to do today. One last thing, with that Panstir-M CIWS on the bow replaced in RL with a VLS, may have some creative fun about where the VLS is... Stay tuned... 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 im just curious, has anyone ever serial numbered the landing gears before? 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 you mean the struts, or the doors? Doors aren't that hard. Never done struts, but it shouldn't be much different 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 oh its not. i was just wondering IF anyone had done it before discovered the 28th Bomb Wing had a South Dakota outline with the crew cheifs names inside on the doors, numbers were on the struts figured that one out AFTER dialing in the 319ths nose door numbers. its always something..... 1 Quote
+russouk2004 Posted January 24, 2020 Posted January 24, 2020 If its a mesh it can have decals AFAIK Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 take one not so good picture, a clue about an album, and a little creative license with whats known on the past................ from the one (only one) picture i could find of 85-0064 prior to the mid 90s 2 Quote

+Wrench Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 nothing yet. I have to draw all the panel lines, and such. Angel provided a template with the base colors (camo, OD/Gray), but no lines. I've been busy with the French in SEA lately. Now, I just need to terrain to (re)start (re)targeting! Quote
