G'Day, I just thought I'd update you all on what I've been working on lately. The model is about 95% complete as you can see from the pics (Haven't done the intake or the thrust vectoring paddles yet) For all you ATF fans out there, I thought that 5 weapon stations wasn't enough. So I've added pylons on the main landing gear doors as you can see from the picture, bringing the number of stations to 7. Should have it in the game by the end of the week and then I can work on mapping, skinning and .ini editing. At this stage I'm looking at a late Jan to early Feb release. Dels

Yes, TVC will be animated on the model in game but due to game limitations not for aircraft control. Thanks for the pic. Dels

Thanks to some help and inspiration from mppd I have just finished the NC/AC-123K Black Spot. Just doing some more testing, but it should be uploaded in the next day or so. Dels

AC-123K uploaded and ready for download. Just a heads up for everyone, I am just rounding up the finishing touches on the SF2 versions of my C-130's and C-123's. Hopefully should have them up by the end of the week. Dels

Thanks Blackbird. I think I've got all that information from other sites, but good anyway.

He was one of the greats and gave me endless inspiration. RIP

I have had this before as well. Based on what you have said how the gear sinks into the runway on landing (eventually causing the nose to touch the ground destroying the aircraft) I think it has to do with the wheel. The game only knows what to stand the aircraft up on based purely on the _DATA.ini entries. Check the heirarchy and the spelling, something as small as a "space" can cause issues. TCB is the controller. You need to assign it as the controller for all your meshes that move. In 3ds max, the menu on the right panel with the picture that looks like a rotating wheel is where you can find it. All three need to be set to TCB (i.e. position, rotation and scale) Dels

Without more info, the only thing I can think is that the mesh name for the wheel is different to what you have listed in the _DATA.ini. In the instant before the aircraft explodes on the runway, is the aircraft sitting correctly (i.e. level on all wheels) on the runway?

In the Engine section there should be a line: PropDiameter=x.xxxx (x.xxxx is the diameter in meters) Reduce this to less than 6.0 metres. Dels

Yeah, thanks very much for that. Here are some more pics. Enjoy. Dels

Thank you all for your appreciation. When I joined this forum 5 years ago, it was just take..take..take for me. It's great to just give something back, and knowing others enjoy it makes it all worth while. Cheers. Dels
