E-2C radar

[+JAT81500 135]

Hello Guys, i'm trying to make the Radar of the stock NA Hawkeye turn.

 

I add the same entry as in the E-3 with the correct node name (radar) but it don't work.

 

Any idea ?

It has no rotational axis defined in the 3D model, so you'll never get it working.

That was i thought, damn.

 

Thanks for the answer.

How about removing to make COD Greyhound ?

If I'm not mistaken, Skatezilla built one years ago for SF1.

Thought it was Tracker. Or maybe am wrong. Will look for it.

 

edit:

or maybe it was A-tee-m ?

No, it was Skatezilla.

can we ad radome via fake?...and remove old...can soon whip one up...

I didnt think "Fake" parts could be animated?

[+russouk2004 6,958]

doesnt need be animated...just set as a fake spinner...for rotating things like rotors for helos

I think  spinners etc  will work only with parts of the main LOD.

Adding radome via fake can work if you will animate it. I guess. Its a fake pilot so if its pilot it can be animated like head.

thought I'd mentioned the 'non moving dish' in the readme for the Hawkeye mod I did 3-4 years ago, when NA came out. Was the first thing I tried, and all I got it to do was flip around. So, as said above, you can't make it rotate

 

as to fake piloting something in ... didn't know you could make one of them  rotate. Via a 'fake engine', maybe?

 

as to the Greyhound, that's DAT. the only thing here, is a skin for it by pappychksix. Just like the Tracker and Tracer, all DAT

 

even removing the dish from the NA Hawkeye doesn't really work, and the C-2 has a (slightly) different body shape. It could be done, but you'd have to look at it with one eye close, the other squinting, and in very bad light.

[Wrench 9,807]

It can, mostly, be done, as show below.

as a 'stand in' aircraft, one could be "acceptable". However... look at image 2

[Fubar512 1,350]

Wrench, the DAT may have released a Greyhound, but Skatezilla had one done, first, back in 2007-2008. Trust me on this.

 

Also, the C-2 only superficially resembles the E-2.  It has a shorter nose, and a much wider fuselage than the Hawkeye.

exactly the points I was making, in showing those screenies.

 

If SZ made one, it's no longer in our downloads section -- I went looking for it, and didn't find it.

I wish we had a "True" COD.........

[+russouk2004 6,958]

I made this dish using bounding box sizes in mues lod viewer...and roughly the same as the e2c one...

if anyone wants to try adding it...

its rotation axis is set to Y as prop spinners are for helos and my ssj100AWACS

If Skatezilla did it, then where is it? I would like some COD myself!

fubar and I talked about it yesterday on the phone; it was most likely "attached" to his aircraft carrier (you know, that Nimitz class he had, that went through 8 years of betas and was never finished? Properly).
