+CrazyhorseB34 Posted December 24, 2011 Posted December 24, 2011 Great work Ravenclaw. Was wondering if you had plans of adding the AGM-123 Skipper II to the arsenal. The current example could use some Ravenclaw love! Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 yap i will add it , could i ask a favor could you look if you find a picture that shows the rocket part from the rear the picture i have is not that good and show no detail Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 25, 2011 Author Posted December 25, 2011 Wow thats a hard one to find! The best I can come up with is the rear of the AGM-78 (whose rocket powered the Skipper) but whether it look the same I couldn't say! http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/bill_spidle/agm-78_walk.htm Quote
+Crusader Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 Shrike motors (AGM-45) powered the Skipper Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 26, 2011 Author Posted December 26, 2011 (edited) Doh, the Mk78 name confused me there - Here's the back of a AGM-45 but there's not much detail TBH (middle missile) Bottom Left in white - again not much use I'm afraid, people just don't want to take pics on the rear of missiles/bombs etc. Edited December 26, 2011 by ianh755 Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Real good pics of this thing are hard to find....but the Shrike motor pics should do. Thanks, Ravenclaw you are the man! Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 this is the best i can do with the limited pictures i have Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 here for testing the AGM-123 Beta Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Thanks Otto , that helps a lot Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Ravenclaw you nailed it dude! 1 Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Ravenclaw - Something I noticed with the PW4_Beta bomb, the diameter needs changing in the data.ini file to Diameter=0.33200 as the original Diameter=0.27000 is perfect for the normal GBU-12 but doesn't include the extra height of the databus/fuzing cables that run on the top on a PW4 meaning that the suspension lugs get modelled about 3-4in into the pylon. The above Diameter just shows the bottom of the suspension lugs as IRL. I gave the Skipper II a run about earlier too and again it's a work of art! Edited December 27, 2011 by ianh755 Quote

Thanks , the diameter for the paveway4 is 0.314 on the 3D model , to the bottom of the lugs Edited December 27, 2011 by ravenclaw_007 Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 27, 2011 Author Posted December 27, 2011 Cheers altered mine to 0.314, the 0.332 shows a bit too much lug in comparison (something the Tornado pack suffered from too - I like seeing Lug! ) Quote
+Brain32 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 One question guys...GBU-24 is the same as GBU-27 right? Just the warhead is different in that the 27 is a bunker penetrator and the 24 is a regular kick ass GBU? Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) GBU-24 USES A MK84 BOMB WHEREAS THE GBU-27 USES THE BLU-109 PENETRATOR BOMB AND DIFFERENT FINS but lots of gbu-24 versions. Sorry for the caps! Paveway series in great depth - http://wiki.scramble.nl/index.php/Paveway Edited December 28, 2011 by ianh755 Quote
+Brain32 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 OK to cut the story short, can I use any of the released models as GBU-24 lol Quote
+ianh755 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Posted December 28, 2011 Yes but thats cheating! The awesome GBU-27 model Revenclaw did can be a substitute for the GBU-24A/B (USAF) and GBU-24B/B (USN) or UK Paveway III (GBU-24(V)2/B - 4/B - 8B) but the fins are slightly different although TBH how many people will notice when they'll be to busy admiring the the bomb in the 1st place!

+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) or you just wait antil i´m done with the skin the model and the mapping is finish i just did not have any time to make the skins GBU-27 is the BLU-109 with the fin-assembly of the GBU-10 and the seeker of the GBU-24 with short fins for use on the F-117 to fit in to the bay GBU-24 uses the MK-84 , BLU-116 and BLU-109 warheads GBU-27 seeker-assembly with short fins GBU-24 Seeker assembly with large fins Edited December 28, 2011 by ravenclaw_007 Quote
+Brain32 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 will wait, wasn't sure you'll do them but was a bit shy to ask for more after all this godness Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 i will rework almost all of the GBU´s but it is not a major project for me i just do it to relax from the other projects i´m working on , so it will take some time antil all bombs are done Quote
+CrazyhorseB34 Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 GBU-27/B The large fins of the GBU-24/B series weapons don't fit into the bomb bay of the F-117 Nighthawk, and therefore the US Air Force developed the GBU-27/B, a specially configured 2000 lb class Paveway III for use by the F-117. The primary difference from the GBU-24/B is that the GBU-27/B uses a Paveway II-type airfoil group, and slightly more compact suspension logs. When fitted with GPS/INS-enabled WGU-39A/B GCUs, the GBU-27/B LGBs are informally referred to as EGBU-27. The GBU-27/B entered service in 1987, and about 3200 rounds have been produced. GBU-27A/B Designation for BLU-109/B bomb fitted with Paveway III guidance kit and fitted with WGU-39A/B CCG. GBU-27B/B Designation for BLU-116/B bomb fitted with Paveway III guidance kit and fitted with WGU-39A/B CCG. Hope this helps! Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted December 29, 2011 Posted December 29, 2011 here are the GBU-24 for testing they are still beta based on the info i have the paveway-III wing assembly has almost the doppel the lift as the paveway-II so i increase the lift-drag ratio to 6 , if it is not enough let me know and i will change it 1 Quote
