Centurion-1 1,228 Posted November 14, 2013 Hi sophocles, how's it going? Any chance of you making a F-5E cockpit out of your source files, I'm no expert on the Tiger but adding the radar and RWR scope would be pretty straightforward? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,338 Posted April 18, 2015 Hello all! First, I'd like to apologize for taking so long to reply to those expressing interest; real life has put me through the grinder over the last year.. Nevertheless; The project is back on track and I'd like to post a few shots of progress .. Many thanks to Dag who has done the RNoAF F-5a texture work + tonnes of other stuff, plus a huge thankyou to Ravenclaw who has made corrections to the gear animation, has modelled the parachute internal bay, the arrestor hook deployment mechanism and has graciously provided his weapons and some of the "special" pylons. Brain32; as mentioned earlier helped put the cockpit in game and provided much of his time with templates;ini work .. and helpful advice! I'm currently trying to get the complex canopy mechanism animated and have plenty more to do, Hopefully I can post more progress shots as they transpire, Cheers 27 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,338 Posted April 20, 2015 Thanks for all your support and kind words gentlemen! I am planning to do the F-5c(skoshi-tiger) variant as well as the N-F-5a before I release the lot; but there's still much work left to do. Would any of our flightmodel masters be interested in overhauling the original flightmodel?? also would any of our talented skinners be up to ceating some vietnam liveries and a couple for the NF-5a? Please let me know if anyone is interested! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,338 Posted May 4, 2015 First steps toward the NF-5a(CF-5a) .. those vent doors on the rear fuselage were a #@$$$ to animate :( Now i've just got to do the f-5E style nose gear and the re-fueling probe .. 21 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+sophocles 1,338 Posted May 6, 2015 I gotta agree .. Northrop designers were supposedly applying some "super duper advanced area rule physics??? .. or was it .. inverse square rule principles?????" to the fuselage and wing-tip tanks; some likenrd it to a coke bottle .. but to me it's just the ultimate female form:):) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
