F-4 canopy-can it be made to open?

[Dagger 21]

I see the A-1 and a few of the other add-on planes are going to be offereing opening and closing canopies..can the F-4 be done like that,and heres one for ya....can the wings be modled to fold?

I Know the A-1 Will have an Opening canopy.

 

I dont know if the Inside cockpit view would have the animation or not though.

 

the 3d Plane itself will have an opening/closing canopy though.

 

for the planes that are stock planes (the ones that came with the game) you'd have to have the original 3d Studio project and ad the animation..

The REALLY big issue with the F-4 is:

 

Will there ever be a patch (or mod) that lets us fly from the back seat of the Phantom II? Most of the F-4 aces were backseaters. The AI could pilot while you operated the weapons, or operate the weapons while you flew the plane. If you really wanted to do everything yourself, you could be able to disable the AI and do it all from the front.

thats the way it is now

and the "backseaters view" is realy limited top/sides and particial rear.

Thing is the backseaters couldn't get there without the frontseaters!

Hence the team concept. This kind of team usually works best when ones had the time to learn the other, you know, when you don't gotta say jack s**t, and your RIO's already on the ball.

How exactly can you simulate this? Do you think the AI learns to read your motions, tones, grunts, and overall handling of the plane, and can learn someone elses thoughts who plays on your comp?

The AI would be so limited it almost would be more trouble than it was worth. Everyone has their own style and it seems almost impossible to make an AI that caters to each player differently, on such a small platform anyway.

as you ca see the "backseater" cant see forward he used insterments to line up the shot and the pilot takes the shot or the wso can shoot to. The wso is at hes best when bombing,the pilot get him there follows directions and the "backseat" makes the "hit"
