ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Mods & Skinning Discussion
Thanks for the answer i cant afford a 3rd computer just to make this large textures , i have to stick to the win7 64 bit because of 3ds max , 3ds max is not running on any higher win version -
i have try to make some 4096 x 4096 textures but constantly run out of memory , i´m using a win7 64bit computer with 32GB ram and a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX-1070 Ti 8GB GDDR5 graphics card , the Software i use is Corel Paintshop Photo Pro X3 what exactly do i wrong to run out of memory ??? any help is welcome i´m not even able to convert a existing 2048 x 2048 template to 4096 x 4096 , best result i had by converting layer by layer to 4096 x 4096 and add them to a new template , but as soon as i start to modify some lines i run out of memory

here you go TSC_F-104G.7z

ok here are the AIM-7A , AIM-7B and AIM-7R missiles , the AAM-N-2 / AIM-7A is set up as beam rider and therefore very difficult to hit something with it good luck and have fun with it AIM-7A_B.7z AIM-7R.7z
-
this are the only pictures i have from the AIM-7R , the AIM-7R is basically a AIM-7P with a IR seeker and more modern avionics after the AIM-7R program was canceled they used the new MHIP (Missile Homing Improvement Program) seeker on the RIM-66M Block III B
-
after all this years i´m finally made the AAM-N-2 / AIM-7A Sparrow I and that is how it looks like the 2 flares / tracer on the rear are made as self illumination , i have to try if that works in game , it is the first time i do it this way based on a special request i made the AAM-N-3 Sparrow II , there are 2 versions the USN one and the one from the RCAF and based on the RCAF version i made a what if AIM-7B production version from the top USN , RCAF and the what if AIM-7B and i made the last and final version the AIM-7 the AIM-7R , the missile had a IR-seeker in the radome and an updated avionics , the missile program was stoped due to budget cuts and the high cost of the program but there a some rumors that some of this AIM-7R where used in the Gulf War but no deffint prove of it though

421st TFS F-4E , hard wing with TISEO
ravenclaw_007 replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in General Discussion
i made a new tail for the F-4E/F/G´s and thats how it looks now i did not add the pilots name yet for the 68-0317 because there is a small problem with the canopy frames and i dont have the names for the 68-0307 and here is the F-4E_72_TISEO , it is still a BETA version but a very close to final one F-4E_72_TISEO.7z the aircraft has the 1971 cockpit , it is a early cockpit and therefor no ripple quantity selection , if you select for example the Mk82 bomb and you have 18 of them hang on the aircraft than all 18 will drop as soon as you press the button , the only selection you have is the ripple interval with 0.08 sec , 0.10 sec and 0.14 sec if you carry nuclear bombs you may look at the right side panel there is a functioning DCU-94A bomb control panel for them if you go true the radar options you will come also to the TISEO ( is on the 2nd ground mapping ) it has no lock on function it is just fixed view -

i found more on the EAPUP , the contract to Northrop-Grumman for the upgrade was awarded in 2012 , the 44 million contract i mention above is the 3rd additional order placed this is the original text from Airforce Technology " the US Air Force (USAF) has awarded the third production order to Northrop Grumman for the Electronic Attack Pod Upgrade Program (EAPUP). The $44m order is part of an existing contract and will significantly increase the number of EAPUP systems for the USAF. In April 2012, Northrop Grumman secured a $52.8m, 27-month engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) contract to upgrade the USAF’s electronic attack (EA) pods. The programme included EMD, a low-rate initial production phase (LRIP) and five production options. Northrop Grumman’s upgraded, digital AN/ALQ-131 pod is designed to operate in support of A-10, C-130, F-15 and F-16 aircraft and aircrews. The EAPUP solution will replace the service’s current EA pods. " so this pods may be in service already for some time , sadly i cant find any pictures of them , if you find one please send it to me
