Wrench Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) ok, I finally got the data in tweeked to my liking; got ALL the position lights (but NO landing lights!) add and corrected. Getting rady to upload it. So the question is: should I include the cockpit, avionics ini and suchlike that I've been using, or not? It's the Viking pit, with no tweeks (other than position) Thoughts? Edited April 18, 2012 by Wrench Quote
+Dave Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Yes and add all the skins to it that have been made too. Quote
+ST0RM Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 The more complete, the better. Sounds like you've got it dialed in pretty well. Nice work Kevin! Quote
Wrench Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 if I could just get the rotodome to rototate.... that would be awesomecool with the Screwtops markings..... hypnotic!! all 3 USN and the JASDF skin pak?? I'll need to do up a hangar screen...no problems. One of the few things that are still working.... Quote
DoctorQuest Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I would vote for the cockpit, too. Thanks for all the work on this! Quote
+Dave Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 There are 4 USN skins. I have some great sounds for it too. Quote
Kodiak Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I vote for Cockpit included also! Great work!!! My best regards, Kodiak. Quote
+Soulfreak Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Martin, you were too late! Already uploadet from Kevin (all in 1). Quote
Wrench Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 enjoy it, guys! however, -- I made a mistake on the VAW112 skin -rename the folder BACK to USNGrey1, so that squadron will appear in the Iseland campaign Quote
+Typhoid Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 If you add skins for VAW-110, 115 and 117 - I might have to consider upgrading my computer to be able to run all this new, cool stuff!! Quote
Wrench Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) all that really would be needed is a partial template, if one wanted to paint the tail markings on the fins (and I've no idea on the mapping yet), or something to make decals from -which is MUCH easier! there's some nice profiles in the Checklist #3 on the Hawkeye, which I finally got converted from djvu to pdf. It's 220mgs, so if anyone want to try ... I'll pm them the book (if I can squeeze it into my pm box!) Edited April 18, 2012 by Wrench Quote

FastCargo Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 Wrench, can you not get the dome to rotate? Have you tried making it an engine? FC Quote
Wrench Posted April 18, 2012 Author Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) actually, no. I didn't even try ... of cousre, without knowing the node name, we could guess, and mabye.... dave: ou want that book??? Edited April 18, 2012 by Wrench Quote
+Typhoid Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Andy Get me some pics of your birds and I'll make em. I'll have to do a deep dive - that was before digital! Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Why is this "thing" on top of the Dome?! Never seen it on RL pics Quote
+ST0RM Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Why is this "thing" on top of the Dome?! Never seen it on RL pics Hawkeye 2000 GPS dome. Not supposed to be on the 1980's era E-2. Quote
Wrench Posted April 19, 2012 Author Posted April 19, 2012 neither are the landinglight lenses mid-wing!! they're under the nose the C model! Quote
+Typhoid Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 (edited) Hawkeye 2000 GPS dome. Not supposed to be on the 1980's era E-2. I think that is supposed to be a satcom ant. The cutaway drawings show that but without a dome. Only a few late model pictures show a small bump and the E-2D doesn't show that at all. And you are correct - we didn't have that in the '80's. I have a lot of E-2D program documents including a cutaway drawing. I don't see that anywhere and no mention of it in the systems. (I got a cut on the requirements documents a few years ago) Edited April 19, 2012 by Typhoid Quote

+allenjb42 Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Just wondering if there's an Israeli skin out there somewhere for the TW Hawkeye. Would be a useful addition for the Lebanon '82 campaign and beyond. Quote
Wrench Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 didn't I make one???? S/B in one of the skin paks..iirc Quote
