Another progress pic. I know it doesn't look like I've done much but that M230 cannon was a b*tch. Dels

No worries mate, hijack away! We might actually reach a solution here...

Yeah, I went through this when I put together the AC-130's. It would be nice to have the pilots/turrets/gun look, aim and shoot like the real thing, but the game won't allow it. We'll just have to live with a forward firing cannon for now. Dels

But I guess that it still wouldn't fire at ground targets? Interesting idea with the engines...

Thanks for the offer, I might take you up on it if I hit the wall. The main challenge with this is to keep the poly count low while retaining as much detail as possible.

It will be for SF2, but it's always an easy conversion back to SF1. As for the turret, we'll just have to accept the game limitation for now. Dels

Like I said, it would be easy. Dels

A long awaited addition to the sim...

You get the yaw effect, that should be immersion enough at this stage. Dels

It might be worthwhile telling people how you fixed it just in case someone else is having the same problem. Otherwise you've just written a forum topic to yourself which kind of defeats the purpose. Call me crazy, but that's what I think...

Yeah, did a full conversion using Leo Bodnar's BU0836. Precision Joystick Controller website Took a bit of work, but it was DEFINITELY worth it. Dels

You can't go past TM products for reliabilty and longevity. I still have my F-16FLCS and WCS MkII from the early 90's and they're still going strong (after a small USB conversion...) Dels

Model complete and in the game. Just the .ini work to go.. Dels

Yes, there will be two versions. One for each of the aircraft versions that are available. Dels

Ok guys. Getting close now. Model and skin are 99.9% complete. Once they're done i'll put it in the game and work on the .ini. Dels

Ah...ok. I guess I got that totally wrong. Thanks anyway. Dels

Fubar, IIRC you have a 9600GT. I was wondering what version of NVidia forceware you're using? Thanks Dels

russo, check the topic in the Mig Alley forum...

Yeah, kilos for the _DATA.ini and you can set the unit to whatever you want in the _COCKPIT.ini. That being said though, provided the gauge is a linear increase (i.e. only two positions like your example above) it doesn't really matter what units you use. Dels

Yeah, I thought that was weird too, but this link also confirms it: My link Dels

From wikipedia (the quality reference tool that it is...) F-100C Seventy Model NA-214 and 381 Model NA-217.[18] Additional fuel tanks in the wings, fighter-bomber capability, probe-and-drogue refueling capability, uprated J57-P-21 engine on late production aircraft. First flight: March 1954; 476 built. F-100D Single-seat fighter-bomber, more advanced avionics, larger wing and tail fin, landing flaps. First flight: 24 January 1956; 1,274 built. Dels

Just a quick update. I have been making some good progress lately so with any luck it should be finished in a couple of weeks. Dels

It's all been said above, but the map displayed as a moving map in the aircraft is the planning map for the terrain. Even if you do increase the size of the texture map in the 3D model, the resolution will still be the same (it will just be zoomed in) unless you increase the resolution of the planning map. But that will no doubt have a performance cost. I understand you're probably tying to create some more immersion. But in my opinion, the moving map is just "eye candy" and can't really be used for navigation. Besides, the in flight map screen is much better for that anyway. Dels

Yep, 10,000 polys so far and counting.

First, I apologise for not updating this thread more regularly but my life has been hectic of late. The good news is that work is still going forward on the pit. As you can see from the pics below, I have completed pretty much all of the cockpit surrounds and panels and am now working on the flight instruments. With any luck it should be done in a month or so...(no promises). Dels
