    You can also attach a "weapon" or zero strength jammer of suitable shape and size to fill in under the canopy.

     

    For example, to Pasko's Su-11, I attach four Tornado 1500gal tanks as zero strength jammers to make a fuselage spine for a rough MiG E-152M...

    Here the forward "tank" pushes into the pilot's head, so I had to paint the tank nose black. The result is not visible except very closeup cameo screenshots like this. Interestingly, I get the feeling of a "spitfire" canopy look in this closeup cameo here.

    An interesting choice of a little known aircraft with a interesting history, what always intrigued me regarding the Marut was that it was part of a joint Egyptian / Indian programme to develop an indegenious aircraft that was subsequently ended when both countries succumbed and brought cheap readily available soviet aircraft after the 1967 Arab/Iraeli war. The Marut actually saw some combat in the airwars against Pakistan.http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/IAF/History/...aft/Marut1.html Link to History of the Marut which is well worth a read for an Aviation History buff.
    You're almost right about the joint Indian and Egyptian part except that was ONLY with regards to HAL's search for engine's that would push the aircraft close to mach 2 with regards to the actual design the aircraft was co-designed by Kurt Tank along with HAL. The engine's that were used for the production MKI Marut were Rolls Royce Orpheous 703's, because HAL, wasn't happy with the result's of the proposed Indo/Egyptian E-300 Brander engine's. The Marut was used roughly (100+) by the IAF till the late 80's.
    Look at Mustang's videos - they are very, very helpful.Try, try and try some more...I'll be happy to help if I can - Capun was of immense assistance to me when I was trying to learn so I'll make what ever attempt I can at aiding you when you hit a snag.
    Thank's for the offer to assist when possible. :ok:

    Thanks Fast Cargo, to be more precise I'm really going to attempt to make the model so that I can contribute in some shape or form to add variety to type's of aircraft available, and if I do succeed then it will defintely be freeware also with regards to help I'm just really looking for pointer's that's all and would appreciate any when available.

     

    With regard's to the a/c, I love this bird why ? Because like I said earlier it's an aircraft that not many people have heard of and was also the last aircraft that the famed designer Kurt Waldemar Tank (famed for the FW-190 and it's variant's) helped design and the aircraft for it's size packed a decent punch four 30mm aden cannon's in the nose :ok: for example and a retractable 50 x 2.68in rockets launcher and four underwing pylons all of this in the 60's for a country like India with then roughly 13 years of independence.

     

    All in all thanks for the reply. There I'm done with my speech...whew !

    Hello all,

    So I just managed to obtain 3D Max 7 and would like to start modding (yes, yes I would actually like to atleast TRY to contribute in a positive manner rather than BSing on various forum's about stuff and then ending up with warning's and locked topics :biggrin: ).

     

    Sooo having said that i have a few question's (bear with me)

     

    a) Are model's which are created using 3D max 7 useable with the game ?

     

    b) I want to work on the HAL HF-24 Marut (Wind Spirit) MKI aircraft and underdog of aviation, would any of the modder's here be willing to help me out once in a while ?

     

    c) Is there any intrest in seeing the aforementioned aircraft coming to fruition ?

     

    d) Would anyone be willing to do the skin's for this aircraft ?

     

    Thanks, I know I'm asking a lot but what the heck !

    Still can't understand the reverence Halo gets among the xbox crowd. It was good and fun, but there was nothing about it to deserve this godly status.

     

     

    I agree with you on that, still I'm willing to bet that Halo 3 is a whole lot more entertaining than that god awful Spierdamn 3. :biggrin:

    John Wayne.

     

    And you have to press 1 for english because a large portion of the population speaks spanish, and it can be kinda hard to learn a new language at 80 like my grandparents (hey its still the default don't complain)

     

     

    Ahh John Wayne, so I WASN'T wrong when I called him g@y oh well his movie's sucked, just like him.

    To play the devil's advocate, a/c wise I think it's a start, not a good one but for a country with several restriction's to high end tech it's still something, won't stand a chance to a F-18 and other modern a/c but maybe we're seeing the growth of an industry that one day might well churn out formidable aircraft....or not, so what ? It just mean's more target's for AMRAAM's, AIM-9X's, R-60's and R-70's. :biggrin:
