Rookie Modeling Work in progres

[+acesfakia]

When whiteboy finish ......  the nice....Suffren Frigate ......(Excelent work )      i think is time to make some more model's

I see many member's ...NEW   and OLD......to learn the 3d max .......

So i had some 3-4 hour's free today and start the ...Tourville..class....

(A big thank's to all member's in combatace...for all the FREE and hard work)

looks like a great start.Thank you for starting this.

[+JonathanRL]

I agree. Looks pretty good!

[+acesfakia]

...ok ...today i finish the boat .....and now is time...for map......model.....when i will have some free time...

I notice a problem ...in the French Hellicopter carrier ...MISTRAL......I CAN"T  land on ..it....? !!!!!!!!.

if i put the data nini ...from the american ...helli Carrier...Tarawa..will be the ...same ..???

...we need also the hellicopter's ...for those nice ship's...

Good luck for this project

[+russouk2004]

is the deck landable in the data.inis?

[+acesfakia]

ok i find out what happen on mistral.....

so i have the pic's.....and change the data ini .......like in th pic's...

[+acesfakia]

I trying to make spiner in the radar...but it turns ...in z axis and not in x axis......any help

[logan4]

Actually that seems turning around Y axis based on drawing's blue line.

Not sure how your model is set up but if pivot is oriented to world, meaning X axis points toward right wingtip, Y axis pointing toward nose and Z axis point upward then correct setting would be.

 

RotationAxis=Z-Axis

 

Also not sure if the "PropRotationdirection=Y-Axis" overrides your previous rotation entry. I would only leave the first and delete the 2nd. works perfect on engine fans.

 

Edit: fix wording mistakes

if that's TK's Hawkeye, it's not going to move. There's no animiations for it in the LOD. Believe me, when I did the 'update' skin and ini pack for it a couple of years ago, I tried it too.

 

Hell, we're lucky the wings fold! (of course, it needed that for the carrier parking)

[+russouk2004]

it needs nodes to work for the fake props ,which it needs any axis wont work...tried it...

Result...it rotates everytime around the Y axis only...

i dont know if adding something via fake pilot will help...only way I see is new model..

remove  component[xxx]=Radar

add this to fuselage

SystemName[004]=RadarDish

 

 

then in engines

 

[RadarDish]
SystemType=PROP_ENGINE
InputName=THROTTLE_CONTROL
EngineID=5
SLPowerDry=0.50
ThrottleRate=0.5
SpinnerNodeName=radar
PropRotationDirection=1
StaticPropNodeName=radar
SlowPropNodeName=radar
FastPropNodeName=radar
SlowPropRPM=5
FastPropRPM=5
MaxPropRPM=5
IdlePropRPM=5
RotationAxis=Z-Axis
ReversePropOrientation=FALSE
ConstantSpeed=TRUE
NumBlades=1

Is it possible that the radar dish is a separate mesh in itself? Also they no need animation in lod. I use engine fans without any animation for them in max, only fake propengine entry in data.ini. 

[+russouk2004]

SpinnerNodeName=radar <mesh name of dish

 using the meshname still has same effect  rotates thru y axis no matter what

[+acesfakia]

Thank a lot for everyone ...for the answer. Yes is from TW Hawkey.

[+KnightWolf45]

there no fix whitout getting the max file its like a rotor on a Helo you to ajust the Y pivot axis so that rotates like you want too i had that problem whit the fennec helo long time ago.

[+76.IAP-Blackbird]

Seems its working .. now you need to select a different axle 

[+Veltro2k]

this if from my E-767

 

you would have to change the mesh names

 

[RADOME]
SystemType=PROP_ENGINE
InputName=THROTTLE_CONTROL
EngineID=9
SLPowerDry=1.0
SpinnerNodeName=RADSPINNER
StaticPropNodeName=
SlowPropNodeName=
FastPropNodeName=
SlowPropRPM=10
FastPropRPM=10
MaxPropRPM=10
IdlePropRPM=10
BSFC=0.00298
ExhaustEmitterName=
ExhaustPosition=
FireSuppression=TRUE
MinExtentPosition=-5.31, 2.17,-0.22
MaxExtentPosition=-4.05, 6.45, 1.19
ConstantSpeed=FALSE
RotationAxis=y-Axis

[+acesfakia]

Thank you veltro2k.......the problem is i don't know the mesh name.....

is TW  model ....for SF2  game......E-2

I found the name  Radar .....so it''''''turns    up down ...and not  on the side.....like whrench ...say ....above.....

...thank you also.

p.s.   nice boeing.....model....will be nice to have a straight....radar .....for the Turkish Air Force........!!!!

[+Fubar512]

Changing mesh names won't accomplish anything if the "spinner" isn't defined as a separate mesh, which it's not on that model.  I tried this back in April and May of 2012, so don't waste your time.

[+acesfakia]

Thank you all........!!!!!!!

[+acesfakia]

......I have make time ago ...the radar for straight ...MESA...radar...

[+acesfakia]

ok....i make that radar ...some time ..ago ...experiment...if someone need it...and use it,....

I was trying to use it as pilot.......but i can not make it turn...!!!Maybe was need ..render...???...anyway..

 

Today had some free time....so...

The Tourville is ready.....data ini ...decal's ....and ...UVmap....make it 90%.....some detail's .....only and make the test's.....for the game...

[+acesfakia]

PIC   WIPS

[+acesfakia]

.........ok I have a prolem in the Flight deck.....

I put the data ini ...etc.....cordinates.....etc....all ok ......!!!

You can Lounch.....but you can not ...Land.....!

So ....the question......

..the flight deck must be a diferend lod.....??

and if yes.....how is look like.......empty.....same the lod file from the ship....???

For the tourville ...i mean..!     

.....whrong photo.....above...

[+Fubar512]

All ships that have a usable flight deck should have a separate flight deck LOD file stated in its data file. Sometimes you can cheat by using that statement alone (with no physical lod).
