Wilches Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 Hey sophocles, don´t forget the WOV fans, I mean F-5A NVAF and F-5C Skoshi Tiger - my favorites of the bunch! I just start to counting the seconds to the release day... Quote

Centurion-1 Posted November 14, 2013 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? Quote
slick cowboy Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 any recent developments? looked very promising! Quote
+sophocles Posted April 18, 2015 Author 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 Quote
Centurion-1 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Awesome to see you back! That model, it's just specatcular Quote
+MigBuster Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Truly fantastic model - glad to see its still in progress. Quote
+sophocles Posted April 18, 2015 Author Posted April 18, 2015 One can dream and fantasize, right? 6 Quote
Wilches Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 The best model in SFP2 so far!! You should be proud of it. Congratulations!! Quote
lauro rafael Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 That is pure art, man... Congrats to the team. Good to hear that this masterpiece is not dead, this is the best part for me. Made my day!!! Thank you very much. Quote
+russouk2004 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 animating complicated is a right royal pain m8....worth it tho when done...looking good m8 Quote
+Stary Posted April 20, 2015 Posted April 20, 2015 truly a work of art! and big pile of zeros and ones when you think of it Quote
+sophocles Posted April 20, 2015 Author 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 Quote
+sophocles Posted May 4, 2015 Author 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 Quote
+sophocles Posted May 6, 2015 Author 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 Quote
