Im sure Kev can help you with this one. He knows where to find lots of info. BTW great job on your F-5 , looking forward to it. :drinks:

 

Forgive me Veltro2K, but who is Kev? (I know I'm an ignorant bastage.. :blackeye: How do I contact him?

 

Muy bien.

 

I can't wait to play with this beautiful bird.

 

Thanks for the encouragement Muy bien, but it'll be months before I get the model anywhere near release..

No worries, between you with the F-5A and Centurion with the A-37 (I love my little fighters), I am going to be coming back to SF2.

Ooooooh! I'd love to see it! Coming from you it'll be darn good!! Maybe we could talk about commonality? I'm thinking of super-detailing mine .. perhaps we could avoid duplication of labour?

I think some level of cooperation would be quite cool actually, here's a picture of a crude wip in-game, it has more elements but they are not mapped so the don't show up in game...drop me a PM or something so we can arrange something :)

Hello all,

just a small update, getting all the details into the cockpit. There's plenty more to do .. I'm also thrilled to say that Brain32 and I are joining forces to complete the cockpit!

Hello Centurion-1, it's not as high-poly as one might think. With only one meshmooth iteration, the polycount is just under a K

Holy Moly, that is simply επικό!I've wanted to get started with 3D modelling ever since I was like 10, but all I can do for now is some sketchup basic models.

 

Again, great work.Looking forward to downloading it!

Good stuff...one tip...when u have finished each mesh...look at it from behind and delete any polys you cant see from front...suprising how many you can remove and reduce the total count by.

You're right there RussoUK2004, but who knows? it may be that we some day get the type of views we had in FSX where you can pan around the cockpit .. or for the sake of dynamic shadows in the pit, we'll have to have closed mesh.

We will never have that. It will cost to much money! ^^

BTW, great work!!! :good:

Sweet!

 

One thing...you may want to take a look at my T-38A cockpit I did. The MAX file is available in the Modder's section and you may be able to use some of the stuff I did for it since a lot of the parts for the F-5A and T-38A were similar.

Thankyou very much FastCargo! Your own tremendous work on the F-5 (especially like the 2-seaters) was a true inspiration!

 

I'd love to see your work .. off to look for it now :biggrin:

 

Roger on the T-38 similarities; I've used many T-38 pics for reference already.
