Can someone sticky this please.? create a 3ds max tips n hints thread I had a pylon that the missile was tilted up on....it wasnt ini related...it was because mesh in 3ds max wasnt correct measurements...this happens if you create a mesh,from say a stock cylinder...of 2m long by 1m dia...and scale it down to say 1m x.25 m and skin it and done....if you dont xform reset it,then it does what my pylon did.....actually it was outerwing that needed resetting....but what I describe about cylinder causes such issues.easy thing to miss when you do hundreds of parts to a model.... I now create meshes for say pistons in place where I first make the basic cylinder shape.then fashion the 2 halves etc....then If I scale it up...I now always xform reset it before animating and rotating\moving it into place...as resetting it when its at odd angles is hard if not impossible some times.

Amazing how they used to laubch the buccs nose up off deck etc.....brilliant little film.

View File Bae HawkT1a Cockpit.7z Bae HawkTmk1A cockpit for SF2 by me Russouk Hawk cockpit contents... Accurate ish pit of ealy Hawk cockpit before the SatNav box fitted to later versions. Instructions................ copy Cockpit folder,and avionics and Cockpit.ini to Hawk folder. Add this to the Hawk ini CockpitDataFile=T1A_Cockpit.ini AvionicsDLL=Avionics70.dll AvionicsDataFilename=HAWK_AVIONICS.INI Tested in new hawk model,so if you use my current model....open its data.in and copy pilots position to the new cockpit.ini...so... [CockpitSeat001] ModelName= OpenCockpit=FALSE Position=x.x,x.x,x.x Animations...controls... Shift and Zero opens canopy.... H (hook) ket turns on gauges lights....basic but works... Animated canopy latches,brake lever,pilot feet and rudders,and working stick. also notice pilots digital watch....scoth taped to hud lol...... Cockpit uses opencockpit=False to use default value remove the line from the cockpit.ini. [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=Hawk_Cockpit.LOD OpenCockpit=FALSE I prefer the setting included as it give illusion of real ish shadows etc.....

Just started doing kits again as inspired by m8s here in UK who now have a business in Models etc and stuff... on list Panther A Tamiya,Zvezda T-34\85 1 /35th and Tamiya Early Tiger 1 1/35th ...in queue will post shots of wips here Subject..Tamiya PZKW V Panther A 1/35th...... mostly built...barrel and few bits being given some attention..hull not fixed yet and some filler on seams....and im going to add sme weld with filler before paint....nearly ready to spray primer...1st coat

Been ill and not been around hence the inaction.... ok now but busy elsewhere,though I will go through stuff ive got near done and try get some out...where poss...if not I will offer up stuff for peeps to modify for you all..( by that I mean model thats done but may need ini`s etc) I wont be on every day but will try pop in more and more when able.. cheers guys and keep safe Russ

Thanks for asking...been unwell and lost interest in much..I am ok now and bit busy.....I will try to get some stuff done but also stuff thats done but needs small work I will offer up for tender...lol.. cheers Russ

Found details... In works..J-7B,,J-7EBJ-7EH,J-7G,J-7PG heres G with new proper canopy (not 100% but im happy with it)......and correct details antennaes\Aerials lights,etc ignore skin ...

Anyone know how to adjust clipping on views such as cockpit F1 view....when panning ,it seems to clip outside of canopy glass even though much lower than top of glass...? looked at viewclass settings and not sure what controls it... TIA.

ive no plans to do the wessex sry

forgot that bit....I installed both usually work in 64 bit one then export in the 32 one.. win 10 64 doesnt like 32 bit 3ds max so has to run it by making shortcut of 3ds max shortcut to run odd but works..run it from normal shortcut and max crashes...weird

Gurus post above yours...do that and it will work also put the dlu in autodesk/plugins/ NOT in the fbx folder

kev RAF VC10s

Forgot that yes...flip vertical or wont be right

Decent mapping ed...looks good

As new to world of helo models...few Q`s When assigning the VTol RCS components how crucial is placement...also how do you go about deciding where to place them.? looked at some helo data,s and models in mues lod viewer....(btw...in mues viewer some reason seakings dont show a lod...though it thinks its there) I know how to fake ailerons etc and dummy items...just the VTOL commands (RCS) has me stumped... TIA.. Before anyone gets too excited lol....this IS an FSX model,one I had bought ages ago...I hoped it was in the Aphasim freeware bundle ,but after I started to convert it,discovered it isnt.......so,Ive contacted Virtavia,who ARE more or less Alphasim....to get permission to convert it to a freeware model....I informed them it would be in SF2 LOD format and probably not so easy to pirate lol... anyways,if they refuse...I will "clone it"....as ive already replaced some parts anyways..some new parts,some texture work,new Spec and Bumps etc......about 10%.....I am hopeful they will agree,dont see why not as its now an old model...if they refuse I might suggest I charge for it...$2.00 lol...and give them half....anyways...we`ll see what happens...no matter what,we will still get a version....Ive probably put in 6 hours work on it...all need now is the data..doing...(will use the one from the KA-29 one we have at CA....all points etc (co-ords,coll points etc) Hopefully the green light will be good as ive a few items in pipeline...

one question ,wheres this model from?...seems to be an FS one 3d model exactly same as one ive got....? if it is...you need credits up..otherwise it looks dodgy m8... cheers

you should open the files with DXTBmp...and convert to 24bit bmp then in ps to jpeg or tga...as most FSbmps wont open in ps etc...I ll dig out the temps for you now

yeah saw that.....will finish that as its not far off...should take a day or two to finish it....will look at it monday

make a transparent layer...add new layer create decal on it...when done export as tga uncheck compression and its sorted...works fine....

if freeware skins kev....if no name attached just use them....as long as they say freeware and do what you like,...then its fine,I asked one guy about that who did some and thats what he told me about his stuff did you get the temps?..might help
