...NEGATIVE.

...what is that movie, anyway?

Look, all I know is, the Person Below Me absolutely LUUUUUVS the Ultra Sabre...

[sometimes I have thoughts of marryin that b***h..... ]

Which leads me to think... Can weapons carry lighting, you know like aircraft?

Here it is 10% darker. Maybe 5%?

That's near perfect!

Earlier, I meant to tell you that you need only take the darker tone and take it down another shade...

...then you'll nail it

This thread serves as an interesting insight into the process of freeware model development by a team with different disciplines. So in that light, I'll be regularly updating it as I continue to work on the SupaBug. There will be a few things left as a surprise (can't give away everything...) but hopefully this will serve as an educational experience for most of our members.

 

Current update: AGM rails are too big...resizing is necessary, which requires altering the weapon stations. In addition, the ARM and SAHM missiles won't mount with just rails...they need their own separate pylons. Minor work there.

 

Also, just found out spoilers are 'cut' the wrong way...totally missread the diagram they were based on! So they'll have to be recut out of the mesh.

 

Finally, the more I look at the flaps, the more I notice they seem to not only rotate, but 'translate' when extended. So they're going to probably be hard coded on the animation.

 

So, lots of progress, but lots of revision needed.

...They DO translate in real life. by a few inches...

Everyone knows you can find bones in the desert

HMMMM.... DESERT PINK!

LIKE IT.

SUPERCRUISE AT ANGELS 40.....

While EricJ, Dave, and JAT work on skins and decals, additional modeling and ini progress:

 

New external tank in game.

now THAT'S about right, homey

Good on ya!!!

If really pressed for time and you are on your way home, just ESC and that's it. If anything, i NEVER use autopilot unless i'm close to base and need a break.

 

 

One question about Uber AI (for WOE)...Does it dumb down the enemy or does it improve the guys in your squadron?

see, that's what I've been wondering...

as far as I've seen, apparenty they don't do too well in a dogfight unless the aircraft is superb.

[NO LIE :yes: ]

Yes they do in fact...quite a large animation in fact.

 

FC

Yaaaaaay

couldn't help but notice long, long ago how it looked on the baby Hornet...

good stuff, though, good stuff!!!

lol gotcha

 

Because if you can get me non classified shots, it would be nice , since my best source at Alert 5 got removed, so I have a limited amount now and need stuff for detailing and stuff.

Well, for starters...

Dude was right about the tanks...

I swear, them s**t's are big enough for 2 people to F in...

and the aircraft CAN carry Multiple Ejector Racks, but only for Inert Training munitions...

and since you guys are worried about Weapons Loadout groups and what not...

you might as well find a way to hard-code the ATFLIR to the left Sparrow station, IF YOU WANT TO...

although detachable, it seldom gets taken off...think of it as the Poor Man's F-14 TCS...

as far as weapon racks go, stay with the BRU-55 Double Rack for double loads of Mk-82 and Mk-83 bombs, as well as all manner of retarded and cluster munitions.

and of course, you probably know of the AIM-9X...

and one question about the landing gears-----do they have a functioning spring animation?

I was just figuring, perhaps you've seen it on video...

Ahh man, that's what I get for going off of photos off of Airliners.net . SidDogg, you on a carrier?

...homey.

do this post mean anything to YOU???

Ya'll are now chillin with Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class Sid Shorter.

 

 

... Not to mention me and CVW-5 just got back from Winter Cruise!!!!!

...MMM-KAY?

Is the ATFLIR a SuperHornet only thing? Or is it meant for other aircraft?

 

FC

They are also on Marine Corps Deltas as well...

Had to use my Google-Fu technique, but I have been trained by the Eel Shaolin Temple..

ahh, i see...

...perhaps you should also consult the Free Falcon, and learn the Way of The Pony...

WELLP, DOESN'T GET MUCH MORE ULTRA THAN THIS.....

WELL, PERHAPS MAYBE I WAS WRONG.....

Hey maaaann

MAKE SURE YOU GET SOME GOOD PRESENTS LOL

WELLP, DOESN'T GET MUCH MORE ULTRA THAN THIS.....

RIP to all, man.

It's unfortunate.....

Do you add this to the data.ini or the F-107.ini?

DATA, homey, DATA.

aircraft lighting should be somwhere near the bottom.

SON OF A GUN!!!!

you never cease to amaze me...

Over SEA

Over Libya.....

...Long as I keep my speed up, I OWN the Fresco

BUMP.

...though the mountain grade may seem steep and endless, i strive towrds the summit that lies above...

the music from the early Wings was always kind of um, "bow-chicka bow-wow..."

JET POOORRRRRRNNNNNN

I understand exactly what you're saying bud. I must say that I've been tossing coins as to which squadron to assign to the Midway. But to answer your question; normally in peacetime there'd be the two squadrons aboard. But what I'm trying to achieve here is the premise that war's broken out in Europe between East and West, so resources are pretty tight. Basically the US is just throwing whatever it can muster (hence the deployment of VMFA-333 on Midway also.

What I'm trying to achieve here really is a friendly side that's more outnumbered than it would've been in previous SF2 campaigns. Hence the reduced number of USAF/USN/USMC squadrons. That's why I haven't added both squadrons to Midway. Don't know if you have already but check out my campaign intro text that I have on the previous page of this discussion.

.....uotnumbered? that's simple.

just up the number of enemy squadrons

How come every time I say something bad about a team they stage a comeback? :cray:

Whatchu talkin bout, willis?

The Cards just came back!!!
