Eagle114th 664 Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone, I am working on Strike Fighter 2 (simulation) big mod project. I am still looking for excellent pictures and videos of MiG-17, 19, and 21 wing vortex when performing hard-turning. As always, when it is difficult for me to find a clear picture or videos of specific aircraft situation, the request is posted here. If anyone has better pictures or videos, please share them here. As always, thank you, everyone for the support. Cheers Edited May 26, 2022 by Eagle114th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am honored to get the reply from you! The codes you provided here are much appreciated too. My current new 3D volume effect experimental for F-4 is actually directly based on your F-4 codes. Your name and the link to your mod is added to the credit page. When I studied your codes, I was figuring out how to convert it from 2D to 3D. It was done successfully. You can follow my progress in this link: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/97359-my-first-attempt-to-overhaul-aircraft-entirely-visual-effects/ The reason why I ask about wing vortex is that I made two version and is uncertain which one is more realistic. Here are screenshot: VERSION 1: VERSION 2: Eagle114th Edited May 18, 2022 by Eagle114th 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ravenclaw_007 7,633 Posted May 18, 2022 i think it is a matter of taste , i always had the feeling that my original version is not real enough and i did not like the look of the emitters they are to pointed for my taste i like to have a more closed front but i could not find a way to do it except of adding a lot more vortex emitters ( what i maybe going to do ) check this picture , i think your version 1 is more like it , but the emitter must move more forward and has to be a bit longer ( my opinion ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am up for the challenge! I can try to do this one. Thank you for excellent picture, this is what I needed. I will come back with an improved wing vortex.

This confirms it. The big difference between US F-4s (J79) and UK F-4s (Spey) are the afterburner color and the way it looks. RR Spey afterburner look more smooth while the color is more whitish. I am going to work on new afterburner effects for UK F-4Ks and Ms. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+daddyairplanes 10,243 Posted May 21, 2022 overall, welcome to a truth of good SF2 modding: its about 75% hunting for pics and information, 15% setting things up/figuring things out to make the mod and about 10% actually making a mod plus or minus about 50% cussing when it doesnt work/when it does work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am surprised how it is difficult to find certain materials for the specific aircraft. For example, I am looking for the information about A-1H and J landing lights or the pictures/videos of A-1 taxing, takeoff, or landing at night. This will give me an opportunity to learn the tricks of hunting pictures and videos. Eagle114th Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Nightshade/PR 7,947 Posted May 23, 2022 That IS a difficult one. I have rolled through lots of videos & photos, but none seem to show the plane with the lights on. Yet, it does have them. (Item #162 on the cutaway) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eagle114th all depends on your area of interest i like from just after Vietnam through Kosovo timefram. for the 70s and 80s stuff its often better to get books from the 80s. not as super informative as current books (capt x took airframe y on route z) but its the start of high quality pics mixed with the subjects being then fairly current.

Wrench 9,848 Posted May 24, 2022 check some of the skins/decal sets or look for data inis. I've corrected all the lilghts on Skyraiders yearssssssssssssssssssss ago. Even moved the pilot's hit box from 6 feet in front of the engine, to where it belongs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
