Sorry for the delay in my reply as I have been flat out with work/family. I had to use the method I described above with the F-2A Viper Zero. I used the F-16's cockpit but added the forward canopy frame via an external model mesh. WEhile my mesh was part of the F-2A external model, this would also work with a fake pilot mesh. As I mentioned, the main issue is the clipping distances. Regards Dels

Hi Steve, If you mean adding a mesh to the cockpit model then, no. You can't use the fake pilot method. However, you can add a mesh to the external model using the fake pilot method which can be visible from inside the cockpit but depending on how close it is to the pilot's POV it may be clipped. Regards Dels

If they're just stock C-130Js then it's just a new skin which will be easy for anyone to make once I've uploaded the photoshop templates. Dels -

Absolutely! Aiming them effectively is the only issue... Dels -

Another update... My Fuselage template .psd got corrupted which set me back a couple of days, but the good news is that I regularly back up! Here's the latest: KC-130J USMC: C-130H3 USAF: C-130H2 36SQN RAAF: Dels- 168 replies

Another update... Have just finished all the skins for the C-130J variants (C-130J, C-130J-30, KC-130J, MC-130J and AC-130J). Still testing, but the release is getting closer and closer. Here's some game shots of the AC-130J. The AC-130J is armed with a 30mm Bushmaster, 105mm Howitzer, Outer pylons for up to 8 Hellfires/SDBs and the Gunslinger Launcher on the ramp holding 10 AGM-176 Griffin A's. The AGM-176 is a brand new model I've made. Dels- 168 replies

More progress. Just finished the bump and spec maps. Bump map is currently at 2% opacity, what do you think? (I'll post some pics of the spec map results when I've got the early unpainted birds ready) Dels -

Still chipping away at it. Recently I've been working on an A-22 Cargo Container for CDS. Here's some pics: "In live, stick of 12..." "Green light!" Dels- 168 replies

Moving maps rotating
Dels replied to LightningIII's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The map mesh would have to have a helper mesh that is set up as a compass. So this mesh would rotate like the compass on a HSI but you can't see it. The map mesh would be attached to this helper mesh so it would rotate with it. To disable it, you would just need to have a look through the _cockpit.ini and find something that would be a compass and delete those entries. You could use the LOD viewer to find the name of the mesh or you could use trial and error. Dels P.S. All this aside, pilots use heading or track up,north up is for navigators...which one are you? -
For a rotating gun, it needs to be pointed forward in the 3d model. This seems weird, but it's set up the same way as tanks and ships. You will need to figure out which mesh has the correct pivot and use that in the _data.ini. This will usually be the main part of the gun which is pointing forward when you look at it in the LOD viewer. Once you've figured this out then you set up the yaw limits for the rear arc of the aircraft. I haven't got my SF2 computer with me at the moment to check, but if you have a look at the B-52s I made it might steer you in the right direction. Dels

Got some free 3ds .max files...
Dels replied to Viper63a's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Overall, the X-Wing model looks pretty good. It could use more details and smoothing in some places, and less detail in others. However, like whiteknight and Wrench said, it's only the beginning. There's no mapping, no skin, no animation and no .inis so you're looking at a lot of work to bring it into the game. Plus, there's the absolute joy of working with someone else's model. Dels
