+Soulfreak Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 But there will "only" be the R.3, R.4 & T.3 versions in colors of the GAF & PAF. 1 Quote
Centurion-1 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 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 Without your work FC this project would never have come into existence... Guys does anyone of you have good detailed pictures of the 275gal and 150gal drop tanks of the F-5E? Also, do you want a 100% perfect product at release or would you be happy with something that is 98% there but released sooner? Because I feel sad to keep this to myself, it is already quite usable even if there are a couple of small details that needs fixing. Quote
Centurion-1 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Also appreciated would be good pictures of the wingtip AIM-9 rails Quote
+Stratos Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Also, do you want a 100% perfect product at release or would you be happy with something that is 98% there but released sooner? Because I feel sad to keep this to myself, it is already quite usable even if there are a couple of small details that needs fixing. This is a game, not a hundred million dollar simulator, I say bring it at 98% and I will happy as it is! Quote
Centurion-1 Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I am of the same opinion actually.. and the thing is, those last 2% can take a very long time to achieve.. Just look at the Mirage F.1 project, it took almost two years to get it to current level, and then we started of with a working exterior model! I don't want to keep this for that long to myself.. I just wish to finish a couple more details before release.. 3 Quote
Centurion-1 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I worked some one the F-5E today again, got a lot of stuff done that was left hanging, including: -Better centerline pylon -Exhaust detailing -Texture tweaks and fixes -Better wingtip rails -Baked AO for misc stuff like gearbays and the like -New afterburner effect (a bit colorful atm) Before first release candidate, I need to: -Tweak the 150gal drop tank and add the shorter CL pylon used with it -Make new bump maps -Maybe do the canopy opening mechanism, but it wont be easy to do tho.. Afterburner pics 10 Quote
+NeverEnough Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I'm hoping this is not just another cruel April Fool's tease.... It looks very good! Quote
Centurion-1 Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 I promise you it is not Does anyone have any good pictures of the F-5E using afterburners from behind? Quote
Centurion-1 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Been doing all kind of fun stuff today, including -Fixing UV map seams -Fixing model seams -Tweaking other sloppy work I did before But I also got a bunch of fun stuff done -Gear bay detail -Bump maps -Smoother out the camo texture for more crispness -Fixed the underside where the nose joins the fuselage, should be reasonably realistic now -Underside detailing Inspired by Sophocles bird I also tried reducing panel line opacity in the textures to see if that would be more realistic and I personally like it better. I still want to make it even more "real" but don't know what to do. But you can check out the new screenies vs. the ones from yesterday and tell me what you think To-do 150 gallon drop tanks More detailed hook 2 Quote
Happy308 Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Centurion It's really looking nice. Panel lines are hardly visible when looking at pictures of U.S. Agressor F-5's. So I think you made a good choice. Can't wait to fly your beautiful aircraft. Quote
stuntman Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 piece of art, faint panel lines are a good choice Quote
Dag Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Very nice work :-) Cheers Dag Edited April 5, 2014 by Dag Quote
+Coupi Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Hello Centurion, Really beautiful and accurate F-5E!!! With the new Mirage F1s, your Tiger II is ideally made for SF2... THE "Lampasoudiste" paradise! Best regards, Coupi. Edited April 2, 2014 by Coupi Quote
Centurion-1 Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Agressors! and yes, the striped camo was a sumbitch to paint. 19 Quote
+sophocles Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Though the F-5a is elegant, the F-5E is sexy!! Wonderful Job Centurion!!!! She's looking really hot! Quote
+Stratos Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 Lovely plane, lovely skins. Will you release a template as well? Quote
