yap , the skin for the GPU-2A is almost done , still a problem are the many rivets i have to add i will have a lot of problems if i add them to the texture especially at the conical front part , if i add the rivets as 3d parts it will be a lot and increase the lod size quite a bit so still some problems to be solved

I wonder if they're still using the original decals I made for it 'way back when in 1stGen SF. I remember them being 100% historical for VMF(N)-513. ----- everything else being said, I DO have what I believe is a beta version of angelp's Skyknight. It has 2 VMFN Marine skins (black) and the later gull grey/white. The GG/W needs decals and such. See below for screenshots. I'm not sure what exactly the state of the model is, the wings fold and the upper canopy 'hatch' opens. It needs FM work (even for a Gen1 Jet, it's very sluggish). I guess it'd be okay do some more work on it and release it as a "provisional Beta". The model itself, even as it stands put's that one to shame. Cockpit is a bit "iffy" (it's a heavily modded Mossie pit0, but it works

AMI Ginas are finally out of my paintshop. Now final testing starts.

I talk with AngelP almost daily, he's planning to send me his mods to get them finished and released. So, no problem releasing that plane once you're happy with it!

Good news today my girl was released from the hospital to come home. This is one good step and we have many many more to come some may be bad days but I hope we will over come it together. But we are going to take it day by day.

Horrido!!!!!

Stratos, if you could get Alex to fix some things on the lod, it would be a HUGE help. I'm out of meshes for the numbers and tail codes. The tail fin (vert tail) needs to be cut off from the rear fuselage (tail mesh) and have it's own mesh. As you can see, it's all one piece. Simply because the tail code, 4-digit bunum, full bunum and individual ID are all on the fin also, if he could give me right and left horizontal stab; they're all one piece now (not a big deal I can just make the full hit box across the stab, and tag it' RemoveWhenDestroyed=FALSE) there are also some untextured bits, mostly the landing gear legs, but that's not that important thanks bro! ps: if you can get the templates, that'd help too! I have to correct the gull grey to the right shade of gray! :)

"The Heatblur Simulations F-4E Phantom II is the culmination of over 2 years of intense development, preceded by countless hours of research and built with our next-gen technology that brings many new features, leaning on all the know-how gained from our previous modules. DCS: F-4 represents some of the most immersive cold war fighter jet simulation available. Climb into the cockpit of this beast and announce yourself with thunder, as you experience the thrill of riding a primeval spirit. DCS: F-4 includes, and models, both the DMAS and non-DMAS equipped F-4E Phantom II variants using the powerful J-79 engines. It utilizes our next-gen components based simulation framework - the aircraft is simulated as a connection of thousands of individual components. From an instrument needle to control surfaces, each component influences the state of the aircraft and even comes with its own wear and tear. Enjoy in depth fluids and electric simulations, a dynamic flight model and many new “firsts” in DCS, when flying and fighting in the F-4! With the DCS F-4 we are introducing JESTER 2.0 - a completely rebuilt and redesigned JESTER AI to help you as your WSO, with improved and updated intelligence, a new interface and new immersive features, like pro-actively asking you questions depending on the situation - changing his behavior based on your answers. Teamwork is key in the Phantom. With JESTER 2.0 you will be able to not only enjoy this multiseat fighter in multiplayer with a friend, but also in singleplayer on your own.

The fix is pretty much simple - set the skin texture to highest: [GraphicsOptions] DisplayDeviceID=0 DisplayWidth=1366 DisplayHeight=768 DisplayDepth=32 AspectRatio=1.777778 AntiAliasing=2 ForceDX9=FALSE ForceVSyncOff=TRUE Use32BitZBuffer=TRUE LensFlare=0 DetailLevel=4 ObjectDetail=2 ObjectTexture=3 <------------------------------------------ CockpitTexture=3 CockpitMirrors=1 CockpitReflection=1 EffectsDetail=2 TerrainDetail=2 TerrainTexture=3 HorizonDistance=0 GroundObjectDensity=3 WaterDetail=3 CloudsDetail=2 Shadow=2 ObjectsFade=FALSE Btw, it´s my skin work.

Looking at the picture, these are poor graphics settings. But I could do a smart upscale of textures. But it’s unlikely that anyone needs this.

^ what he said looks very much like a settings thing to me, although the textures are also probably smaller being older (512 vs the current usual 2048 or 4096 even). basing that off the premise that the insigina is on the skin and not a decal if you really like the Skynights, then why not make it a first step into making your own?

Fully powered 5th Gen,with 3 versions!

im sorry but the wing span is a little big for the Viper version, and clearly that model should be using GE not PW engines. although thats an easy fix in the texture side of things

Just some East Asian MiGs

takin a break, playin with the Kittens.....

did the ground crew move? ___________________________________________________ I'd climb the Empire State Building, fight Muhammad Ali Just to have you baby close to me (10000 internet points to whoever gets it)

Yep, it's truly a lazy bunch.

Fencer Update: Landing gear animation is figured out, Gun is done, the LG secuence is below, veeeeeeeery funny:

Work on progress Fixed the cockpit to almost the correct size

Yes it is. So it looks in game: It's still a long way .... I can say release X-Mas. But not the year.

did you guys know that you can just play this game too? i mean, just fly missions with stock birds?

don't think so but i`m working on one , still some details missing and the skin has to be made to

Does we have already the GPU-2/A gunpod for the A-4 Skyhawk?
