and now something for all who are thinking of making a new more correct high res Template for there aircraft i know that the F-4 model we have from TW is far from perfect and i try to correct it as much as i can but now i have a new problem and i´m not sure if i really want to take it on after i made most of the new panel lines for the front fuselage ( based on detail pictures and drawings ) i notice that the front nose gear door is to short and wrong and that the lower vents i made have to be moved more forward problem with the front nose gear door is if i´m correcting it i have to move the whole nose landing gear a bit more forward to red line is the current door the black lines the door like it should be this vents i made have to move more forward , not that easy to do maybe i have to make new ones so much for giving an old bird some new more correct textures , for all the changes i already made to this aircraft model i could write a book , there is not much left of the original TW F-4E

got it done , vents are moved forward front gear door changed and the landing gear has a new position and since i have now more space in the nose gear well i adjusted the the max travel of the damper and changed the animation for it , so now for the first time we have a fully extendet nose gear that was not possible due to the position of the nose gear before i had to change some entrys in the data.ini because the nose gear was hanging in the air but after adjusting the stroke length value everything works fine and the bonus a now fully extendet nose gear and now i´m going to enjoy the rest of the sunday evening

i consider myself good at what i do and have stickered up some great models as well as polished many a turd to a fine shine sir

I've found exactly the same type of things with the F-4B/C/D and all the RF4's, so many tiny little things that you dont realise are out of place or shape until you start to go into greater resolution skins..........are they worth correcting is a hard debate as everybody has been happy with the old poor but good enough models for all these years. Very few folks really know how much time it take to make the "small" fixes in max so personally I only make them because I want to make them for myself......time permitting. In the current climate everybody only seems pure "eye candy" and "historically accurate" in markings only type stuff. This is not a dig at DA or any one else as they are doing a great job of polishing the turd as the saying goes.

well that would have been useful 4 day days ago when i was still pic and info gathering as it was i used a model decal sheet as primary reference. the Spook with a Spanish flag im rather proud of tho, blew up the decal 800 times for location reference then did the flag and adjusted the Spook myself

the rack is a triple launcher rack for early FFAR pods , i dont have the AN/ALQ-87 finish yet so i used the AN/ALQ-71 pod instead , i have to check the picture above to find out how the attached the ECM-pods to the rack as soon as i have figured out how they did it i can do this twin ecm-pod rack triple FFAR pod assembly twin AN/ALQ-71 ecm pod assembly

If LODViewer is set to display hitboxes and/or collision points, and the data for those is broken (typos or other mistakes), the LOD is not loaded. Make sure the data for those is correct. I had the same issue while working on improving aircraft for the ODS 30AE mod, and in the end I fixed and/or improved hitboxes and collision points for more than a hundred aircraft.

found an other picture of the twin ecm-pod assembly and an other version with 2 AN/ALQ-87 on a MER-rack for the C/AC-130 as soon as i´m done with the AN/ALQ-87 i can will do this 2 twin ecm-pod assembly`s , one reason more to finish this ecm-pod

No, it's for dual rail AAMs, radar-guided type per my Super Hornet data.ini I honestly don't ever recall a dual-rail ARM launcher in the game. Maybe in WoX, but this is the first I heard it existing since SF2 came out.

the lods no the data ini edits to the hit and collision boxes yes there are several new models that were unique to ODS 30AE, many of which have come out in other releases since then

I just tried to open with LODViewer v0.6.3 and it was fine. I usually open by right clicking on the aircraft's .ini file and using Open with...LODViewer but it also worked by double clicking the LOD file itself.

View File Albatros D II ( LATE ) and D II ( OEF ) REDUX ALBATROS D II ( LATE ) ALBATROS D II ( OEF ) REDUX An overhaul of both the Albatros DII late version with the upper wing mounted radiator, and the Oeffag built version, with the Austro Daimler powerplant, and armed with a single Shwarzloze 8mm machine gun, the Oeffag variant is in standard linen over ply for the KuK Luftruppen, then we move on to the D II ( Late ) these include 2 differnt Turkish machines one with an all over Green/Brown Camouflage scheme, and the other in ply and a 2 tone scheme on the upper wings and tail unit, the markings are fictional of course just to give a little visual uplift, as Turkish machines seem to have been very bland, also very few photos of actual Ottoman aircraft either, so of course you can always remove the markings if you wish. Next we have a generic 3 tone Camouflage over medium ply, all these Albatri have again generic personal markings, as they do not represent any particular Jasta. The final one for your enjoyment, is an all over 3 colour Camouflage, very smart looking if you ask me, again the markings are fictional, but all 16 airframes in the " Jasta " have the same stripes, and there are no personal markings ( not every German aircraft did have them anyway ) Anyway, as always, both these Albatri are in plug and play format, unpack, and install, with the usual proviso, that any existing D II ( Late ) and ( OEF ) aircraft you may have WILL be overwritten, so please ensure you do the sensible thing, and back up or rename. Everything is included for both aircraft, Decals, Guns, Pilots and sounds. A shout out to Stephen 1918, for his sterling work on the original models, also to Geezer for the pilot models. As always...............................ENJOY !!! Submitter Trotski Submitted 09/08/2024 Category Albatros Skins  

I've noticed that to, it locks up my whole PC if I try and open it with the lod viewer but it works fine in the game.

What in the world is that tank? Mandatory screenshot, attacking a Kashin with Mk.20's...

And the results are superb! Well done mate!

AI can't really defend again SARH missiles either. The only thing it could do is to drop chaff, but defensive maneuvers - forget about it. I've read somewhere on this forum that in some previous titles - WOE I think - AI could even notch your missiles; but apparently this was nerfed like many other features to simplify the gameplay

racktype=BRU57, iirc There's a dual launcher rack in one of the old weapons packs (1stGen) I did it 15+ years ago for WoV; can't remember now. EDIT _-- look for "2ARM" in a late model weapons pack (maybe the gunny pak???)
