    MiG-9 FARGO

    MiG-9 FARGO

    Mikoyan MiG 9 Strike Fighters Project One Add-on by Timmy and Lexx_Luthor.

     

    In response to a state requirement issued in February 1945 for a pure jet fighter, the MiG OKB developed a twin-engine, straight-wing aircraft that was given the designation of "I-300". It was also referred to by the internal OKB code of "izdeliye F (model or product F)". And was finally designated "MiG-9" by the Soviet Union and code named "Fargo" by NATO. The first of three prototype performed its initial flight on 24 April 1946, with test pilot Alexei N. Grinchik at the controls, making it the first Soviet pure jet aircraft to take to the sky. It beat its competitor, the Yakovlev Yak-15 jet fighter, into the air by only an hour.

     

    There are six skins included. One basic Soviet Silver version. One Soviet silver with lightning bolts. One People's Republic of China - silver with red nose and wingtips. One PRC solid green camoflage. One PRC Grey/Green Camoflage. One fictional Polish scheme.

    I just found an awesome hobby shop....

     

    They are one of those places that buys old collections....

     

    I scored 2 Hasegawa 1/32nd scale A-4E/F Skyhawks, a Monogram "high tech" A-4 with photo etched parts and some resin included and a couple of Testors kits, a RF-4B and F/A-18B...both of which are rebadged Italeri kits....for 50 bucks!

     

     

    Wow! The Hasegawa Skyhawks are worth $50 by themselves. As I travel across the country I stuble across such hobby shops - there used to be one like that in St. Louis - and the hobby shop is still there - but the prices aren't. :dntknw:

    It has the Meteor F8 pit in it now and since I didn't make that one - I removed that folder and listed in the Read.me file that if they had that pit to put it in the MiG-9 folder - and if not to put some other pit in that folder and change the Data file to reflect that change.

     

    I don't have any interest at all in creating cockpits - in fact, I don't fly with the cockipt enabled so it's obviously no big deal to me...

     

    I'm making an executive descision and releasing it today.

    I have had no problems of that sort with the tanks. Of course, I'm probably doing something wrong here as it's my first time making a "weapon." The parameters you listed in your last post are the same that I have in my MiG-9 Data file and here is my result:

    You can see the tanks in this shot so I'm not sure what the problem could be.

     

    When I made the tanks I centered them in MAX before exporting the LOD. It's possible that I sent you the LOD that I made BEFORE I centered the tanks... :slow:

     

    I'll send the correct LOD.

     

    BTW: I've had a minor malfunction of my Outlook program (I'm assuming co-pilot error as it happened while I was away) and EVERY SINGLE FILE is gone. Would you mind re-sending the MiG files?

    Capun - He's getting all those Max/Min numbers from P1oppy's program. I think it's sensory overload!

    I have a question for you FM types - Aside from the Max/Min numbers - you also have collision points. This example from the stock MiG-17s right stab...

     

    MinExtentPosition= 0.06,-6.10,1.42

    MaxExtentPosition= 1.67,-4.79,1.34

    CollisionPoint[001]=1.67,-5.90,1.38

    CollisionPoint[002]=1.67,-6.39,1.38

     

    Am I correct in assuming that the collision points are what determines if bullets or shells actually hit the aircraft?

    If you look at the numbers above, how do you get -6.39 when that is apparently outside the surface of the stabilizer?

    I honestly don't understand this process at all. Which is why I have Lexx. :good:

    SELECTIONS > INVERT ??? (I do this with PS5.5 also...)

     

    I use SELECTIONS > INVERT so often I'm surprised my Shift+Cntrl+I keys aren't broken...:wink:

     

    Maj Lee - Do you see any omissions in my directions?

     

    The instructions that I posted are exactly how I make my decals. Like I said, it's not supposed to work but on my machine it does. I'd nickname it "Neo" but I don't want it to become a bad actor...

    If you want to send me what you have I'll be happy to look at it. I honestly don't know what to tell you otherwise. In looking at the pic's with the yellow tails it seems that on the bottom one the alpha channel isn't selected on the insides of the numbers. Honestly, I'd have to see the files to figure it out I think. What version of PSP are you using?
