+sophocles 1,337 Posted July 29, 2013 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! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Centurion-1 1,228 Posted August 9, 2013 Regarding the external model here is a nice collection of refs if you didnt have them already! http://nabe3saviation.web.fc2.com/waF5A.html Once again, can't wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+sophocles 1,337 Posted August 9, 2013 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!!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dag 77 Posted August 10, 2013 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 :-) Best Dag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here's another update pic .. unfortunately still lots to do .. but she's so close! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,337 Posted August 10, 2013 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! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Centurion-1 1,228 Posted August 11, 2013 (edited) 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! edit: spelling... Edited August 11, 2013 by Centurion-1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,337 Posted August 17, 2013 Hello all, another small update. I think I've overdone the reflections on the glass gauge faces .. might tone them down some. Cheers! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Centurion-1 1,228 Posted August 18, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Brain32 265 Posted August 18, 2013 Yup looks pretty good, I'd see in-game too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's looking right about done to my eyes btw, a superb accomplishment all in all! 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! Yup looks pretty good, I'd see in-game too... Thanks Brain32, I'm familiarizing myself with in-game tweaks ..
