Project Topic Dhimar/Paran Enhancement

Damn nice my friend!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Thanks guys, I must admit I've always had a weak spot for the Su-7/17/20 family. The basefile Su-7B has the cleanest lines but the payload/range is pretty damn weak... But flying down low and fast you can appreciate what this bird was made for.

 

Anyways, tweaked the skin some more, added more weathering.

What if Paran bought some MiG-25 or Yak-38?

[Centurion-1 1,228]

If I ever get my MiG-25 done I will make a parani version for sure! Don't know why it's proving so difficult for me the work on it though. As for the Yak-38, don't know it is a pretty weak-ass plane so why would anyone want them?  But I think it would look great in Parani colors.

 

BTW it drives me nuts not being able to open the Su-7 in 3ds max. Got a high res landing gear ready to go from the Su-20 and a few meshsmoots here and there could do wonders. Also the airbrakes have smoothing errors.. But what can you do. Also sadly lacking is bumpmaps.

[Stratos 3,192]

Amazing skins for that Su-7!! Hope you will the the F-13, and the PF with the snake cammo too.

 

BTW, didn't knew you had a Mig-25 WIP, do we have a WIP threat for it?

[Centurion-1 1,228]

The MiG-25 is in a sad state of limbo currently. I redid the landing gears but still need to map and texture those. Also I think I need to remap most of the plane again, I initially opted to map the whole plane to one 4096x4096 map. But working on the Mirage f.1 which has 5 (!) 4096 texture maps I dont think that resolution will cut it. Maybe I should bump it up the project list again.

 

I will do the MiG-21MF, Bis, PFM and F-13 as soon as I get the templates from Carlo.

Not yet, sits also on my HDD, we are finishing right now 2 other birds for the Iran conflict and a third one is just for fun. Than we will work on the 25

[Stratos 3,192]

Is really beautiful! Thanks guys for creating it!!

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

All thanks goes to Mat! I have not my fingers into that project yet. 

[+Soulfreak 6,524]

Can´t wait to fly the MiG-25. looks great!

[Centurion-1 1,228]

And now some MiG-21MFs of the Parani Air Force. Also wired to launch Matra 550 Magic 1s as done by Iraqi air force in the 80s. I also made some kill marks for Paran based on the Kill Marks for the Evil ones mod by Horus 3k. Will make some for Dhimar too.

This is awesome. 

[Stratos 3,192]

Now that's pretty cool mate!!

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Hey! I just had an idea, toying around in SF2: I !

What about vautours? 

 

Dhimar or Paran could fly them. It would be a welcomed change from the generic Il-28 or F-100/A-4. 

[dast24 138]

hi there, man feels like ages ago i looked here at CA for new stuff. :-D will the mig-29´s also get the new snake camo?

[Stratos 3,192]

Centurion, Snake cammo PFM cough cough ;)

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Stratos: Yeah I will make them, don't worry 

 

Palpatine: Yes Vatours would be pretty cool for 50s scenarios, I am busy making the 70s pack now first but will give a look later!

 

Dast: Yeah will take a look at the MiG-29 too, but later.

 

Today I made a Mirage 5, designated PD.

 

 

 

Also some MiG shots:

 

 

[Stratos 3,192]

This cammo scheme is top notch!!

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Nice birds, can't wait to fly them. 

[Centurion-1 1,228]

I'm hoping to bundle together a package for this weekend that would include playable, high-res nation specific Parani variants of the following planes:

-Tu-22

-Il-28

-MiG-21MF/PFM/bis

-Su-7BMK

-Mirage 5

-Mirage III

 

About the Mirage III, should I base it on the DLC Mirage 3C or the Shahak from SF2:Israel? Or maybe some other mirage 3 dlc? The Mirage 5 is currently based on the Nesher so I am leaning on the Shahak. Don't worry it wont have any isreali loadouts or texts, this is just filewise.

[Emp_Palpatine 501]

Well, I for one do not have the DLC, and I guess a lot of people don't. If you have some spare time, you should perhaps do both, like Nato Fighter or SF2V.

By the way: a package with a campaign? :)

[Stratos 3,192]

Shahack will be nice. Centurion any chance of a F13 for those early hit and run tactics?

[dast24 138]

go with the shak*something*, please

hm for campaign pack: it would be possible to modifiy the SF2 campaigns to take the planes listed here and the desert aggressor package from valastur.

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Palpatine: Yeah I might release my campaign file too, currently only have the 1975 camp fixed. The first pack will be a 70s plane pack anyways

 

Stratos: Yes will look into other MiG-21 variants later, a F-13 would be good I think.

 

Here are the Mirages more or less finalized:

Can't wait! :)
