G'Day all,

It's been a while. Recently I have been working on another add-on pack for my C-130s. It will include:

DC-130A/E

HC-130P

MC-130E/H/P/W

AC-130W

Depending on my motivation, I might finally build an early C-130 cockpit - but no promises.

you know, the community at large might be willing to pay a midget to do whatever depraved act you want crowdfund that right there. the other things are the shiny ones that have your eye,  but even a basic common non glass pit for all the other models would be awesome

Crunchy or smooth?

That is an important question. I don't want to know where it goes though.

I'm going to H@#$l for this, but if it's Midgets, It's GOTTA be smooth.

After all, a Little Goes A Long Way. :rofl:

Just to be able to fire up a Combat Shadow has me eagerly anticipating this package. Something about them hooked me on them years ago when I stationed at Hurlburt.

Wow Dels, always first class quality work, looks amazing and that is quite a roll-out of goodies!  :drinks:

I especially love how you have an exceptional ability to manage "polys for performance", and a new high-fidelity cockpit is so welcome and needed, what a great surprise - wonderful update indeed!

G'Day all,

I realised that it has been over 17 years since I built the C-130J cockpit, so I decided it needed some love too...

will the same templates work?

being on my 80s ANG kick,  might have to work on some Roman Noses in Euro 1.....

Yes, the templates are all the same with some minor additions. You should be able to drop any 1024x1024 layer into the new templates and go from there.

In the templates, I have removed all the extra layers that create the weathering for the panel lines. But the basic panel lines are all there, you will just need to make the weathering layers.

I have left one complete set in the template so you can see how I have set it up, but they all have this common structure:

6 *Aircraft version* Panels Ripple 85% Blur 1.5 128,85,0 (5% opacity) <- The panels in this layer are brown (RGB 128,85,0)

5 *Aircraft version* Panels Ripple 75% (2% opacity)

4 *Aircraft version* Panels Ripple 35% Blur 1.5 (2% opacity)

3 *Aircraft version* Panels (a) Blur 1.5 (10% opacity) <- The panels in this layer are white

2 *Aircraft version* Panels Blur 0.5 (10% opacity)

1 *Aircraft version* Panels (5% opacity)

For Dark skins layer 1 has 10% opacity, layer 3 has 5% and layer 5 has 10%.

      G'Day all,
      I am getting close to release for the latest updates and additions that I have made to the C-130s.
      Please vote on if you would like updates to the current packs and a new add on pack or a complete package.

      G'Day all,
      I'm trying to find some more detailed or close up photos and information about the QRC-84-02A IR Countermeasure pod.
      It's the pod that used to be carried on the outboard pylon of the MC-130H/AC-130U and attached to the fuel tanks of the MC-130E before they were upgraded to DIRCM and LAIRCM.
      Here's a photo.
      Through some web searches, I've found that it was roughly 91" long and 10.19" in diameter.
      Thanks

      G'Day All,
       
      This post has been a long time coming, but I thought it was appropriate in the wake of the 60th anniversary of the Hercules' first flight.
       
      I am in the process of upgrading all my Hercules models to one standard. Having a critical look at what was my very first 3d model (originally built over 8 years ago), I was not impressed. Basically 95% of the model will be replaced by a high poly version with additional detail and animations. Where possible, I will be using the same texture mapping positions but unfortunately to get the full benefit of the new model, new skins will need to be made...sorry to everyone who has worked hard on their C-130 skins. The good news is that I will be releasing the Photoshop templates also, so the extra work shouldn't be too hard.
       
      Anyway, below are some comparison pics with the before shot on the left (2006 model) and after on the right (2014 model). I plan to upload more comparison shots and eventually in game shots as I go.
