Centurion-1 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Cockpit work from today and WIP skins (again, thanks to Paulo) 10 Quote
+sophocles Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 Excellent work Centurion!! She looks lovely:) I need to confess that when I mapped my external model of the F-5a I'd made the mistake of collapsing the meshsmooth modifiers together with uvunwrap .. which meant that I could not revert to the low poly model without having to re-map the entire thing! I've since however reverted to a saved copy of the original model which I'm tuning and will eventually re-map so that I can use the lower poly models as lods. A lot of time wasted; but what to do .. this is my first project and I'm learning along the way! Getting back to your F-5E, I'd like you to know that my gauge work (or anything else you could use from my F-5a 3d pit) is available to you should you need it. Regards PM me If I can help Quote
Centurion-1 Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 That's very good news Sophocles! My dream is to eventually just stick the F-5E radar, gunsight and other panels that are diffierent from the F-5A straight into your cockpit, since you have really worked on the details there. Most other things seems to be the same, different gauge layout ofcourse but that is a minor thing to re-arrange and subtle differences in the weapons panel..The only reason i developed this F-5E pit as far as I did was to have a "failsafe" should yours not be avaliable for whatever reason. What is the status of your cockpit currently? Quote
+sophocles Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 My friend, the differences are not so subtle .. perhaps you can see for yourself. I'll send you a copy of the pit for you to look over at the weekend. My pit is conplete!! Quote

Centurion-1 Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Superb news Sophocles! Looking forward to it!! Quote
Centurion-1 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Hello guys! Good and bad news: The good news is that Sophocles has sent me his F-5A cockpit and has give me permission to use it, so that means we will get a 300% prettier F-5E cockpit as a result! The bad news is that this will push the release back a wee bit from my planned Christmas special. Hope that did not ruin anybodys christmas Anyways, have a merry Christmas guys! 3 Quote
logan4 Posted December 24, 2013 Posted December 24, 2013 Just take your time until you feel it is ready. Regardless how much we would like to fly them I think most of us can wait for that 2 weeks. Quote

Dag Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Hello, Is there a way to shorten the gun muzzles on the F-5E, they are way too long? Best Dag Quote
Centurion-1 Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 Yep will fix that.. First pics of the fruits of Sophocles kind addition (secure your jaw ) Still a bunch of stuff to do, would not want to sully this with anything sub-par 12 Quote
+Soulfreak Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Wow, now that´s really cool. Looking forward to the (re) new(ed) F-5s Wow, now that´s really cool. Looking forward to the (re) new(ed) F-5s Quote
+FastCargo Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I am quite impressed by what you and sophocles have been doing...hard to believe any of my model parts were ever in those screenshots! I was going to ask, once you have completed this project, I know some folks (including myself) have been dying for proper T-38A / AT-38B cockpits. If you have the inclination and/or time, I'm sure folks would appreciate it. And, thanks for putting those MAX files to good use. FC 1 Quote

Your generosity with your source files helped me greatly with the building of the gauge files in the F-5a! I'm actually currently building the F-5b so who knows?:) 1 Quote
+Stary Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Carlo on the bright side we have ErikGen's older Gina and he has a job Maaaybe try asking him about releasing it as it is? Or to pass it to some trusted group like Mirage Factory wizards? Quote
