Stratos Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Is a request? I like it (the plane I mean) but what is the value of it for SF? Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Escort them, intercept them, fly them maybe... Or just because they're awesome aircrafts Not a recce bird, but what a badass look! 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 could be used for missions sort of like in TSF, as a "the Soviets are attacking the..". but for the amount of usefulness in game, would take the 707 model and fakepilot the antennea and pods on rather than a whole new model Quote
JediMaster Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 The problem is with like a dozen variants which one do you pick to make? Or do you make more than one? Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 probably two or three most common (funny thing to say about such a rare bird). correction from earlier, later marks would need the CFM engines as found on Veltro's E-3D. have a conversion of that taking off the radome, ifp and wingtip pods. earlier versions could use the 707. again would just need a fake pilot add on. or would it be easier for a modeller to do a whole bird from scratch?

+russouk2004 Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 First British RC-135W arrives at RAF Waddington in November 2013 seen one of these..awesome...If I had the time...hmm oh well.. 2 Quote
+Dave Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 Well if I can find that C-135 max file, we could do this. As the plane is built. Quote
+Dave Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 I do have an EC-135K I did. TACARBNCP The world famous 53-811 Quote
+Dave Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 Crusader and Jimbib are looking for it. It was one of Bpao's model. I sure miss him. Quote
+Sundowner Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 I have Oli's Max files.....give me a day or two to dig them out. 1 Quote
+Dave Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 Thank you Ant! Yeah the utility of this plane in the game is suspect but I need a project do. Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 did you just say you were bored?!?! wow reference first rule of marriage, enlistment, and rule 33 of fight club............. Quote
+Dave Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 I am not bored, I got plenty of stuff to do, I just want something to do in SF2. Also russo I have the max files, you interested? Quote
+russouk2004 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Go on then....shoot..its really just nose forewards of wings and antennaes to add,looks like shouldnt be too big a job Edited November 16, 2014 by russouk2004 Quote
Fubar512 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 did you just say you were bored?!?! wow reference first rule of marriage, enlistment, and rule 33 of fight club............. You can always get around the latter rule, by constructing and deploying an excrement catapult, and hoping that the police don't seize it Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Fubar, if you annoy the neighbors enough, the police will always sieze your shit back to Dave and on topic, so ya gonna mod the whole airframe or fakepilot different models up? Edited November 17, 2014 by daddyairplanes Quote
+Dave Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 No fake pilot stuff, we have the max file so they are getting done right. 1 Quote
+russouk2004 Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) Looks like a totally new nose\fuselage rebuild... top pic shows slight movement of vertices to rough shape.. so many polys are not needed and too many gaps... 2nd pic nose gear needs new different doors... new engines antennaes etc nose obviously will rebuild add the new obvious parts too... might be a major rebuild... USAF S version V and W P+w for the S or are they RR ? RAF W version with RR`s ive started on new nose...fuse is ok where needed,bit will cut then add new nose... get it started then on weekend got 3 days off to devote to it...

+Dave Posted November 17, 2014 Author Posted November 17, 2014 Russ...its SO big.... Looking good Russ. I am thinking if we can do the early TF-33 versions, then the later reengined ones. Is that k with you? "In 2005, the RC-135 fleet completed a series of significant airframe, navigation and powerplant upgrades which include re-engining from the Pratt & Whitney TF-33 to the CFM International CFM-56 (F-108) engines used on the KC-135R and T Stratotanker and upgrade of the flight deck instrumentation and navigation systems to the AMP standard. The AMP standard includes conversion from analog readouts to a digital "glass cockpit" configuration." Just did some checking, All the reengined ones are the CFM-56 and that includes the RAF versions. Its the same engine on the RAF E-3D as well. 1 Quote
