Hello all!

another major update ...

 

The seat is the only thing that's left (modelling done, needs mapping and texturing). From there on it's placing the gauge needles and writing up the cockpit.ini

 

Who knows? by the end of the week I may get back into the external model after a year's absence (woeking on the cockpit)!!

 

Hope you like!

Regarding the external model here is a nice collection of refs if you didnt have them already!

Once again, can't wait!

Thanks Centurion,

I already have these and about 1000 other references (spend hours over photos and plans). I'm trying to make her as accurate as possible (both inside and out!!)

[Dag 77]

I really hope there will be a model with arresting hook and dual blade antennas under the nose, like tail no 207, shown in Centurion's links :-)

Yes, I'm panning on the NF-5a, the RF-5a and perhaps even an CF-5a (with their completely different instrument panel!

 

Here's another update pic .. unfortunately still lots to do .. but she's so close!

You are my hero Sophocles !!!!

Thanks for the encouragement guys :) (I guess you've realized that my emoticons don't work)

 

I've given myself till the end of the month for all the cockpit work .. I'm really looking forward to doing some liveries on the external aircraft!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

This aircraft has my knickers in a twist! Your cockpit work and Ravenclaw's otherwordly level of detail is what has made me really try to push the envelope on my projects! if this level of work keeps going we are really gonna give DCS a run for their money. Seeing as SF2 mods are free and all!

Ravenclaw is my hero too! Don't forget Centurion, this is all your fault .. your MiG-25 pit got me started!!

 

I agree, this community is overwhelmingly generous!!!:):):)

[+sophocles 1,345]

Hello all,

another small update. I think I've overdone the reflections on the glass gauge faces .. might tone them down some.

 

Cheers!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

I'd reserve judgement on that until in-game testing, the game engine displays transparency a bit differently. That's looking right about done to my eyes btw, a superb accomplishment all in all! 

[+Brain32 265]

Yup looks pretty good, I'd see in-game too...

Thanks Centurion,

I'm now working on in-game settings, baking final diffuse and speculars (a lot of stuff to tweak there..)and getting the glass textures and reflections to look right. Hopefully I'll be able to

post some in-game screenies of the cockpit soon!

Thanks Brain32, I'm familiarizing myself with in-game tweaks ..

Stunning work Sophocles!! :-)
