I heartily recommend that everybody flies the F-35 on Normal Flight model, you'll find it floats like a dove on landing once the flaps are down, and turns are a lot nicer. You'll also have no problems with the odd dutch-roll/reversal phenomena. Think of it as "turning your Fly By Wire on"

Allow me to distract you from your homework further. In memory of the passing of Col. Don Blakeslee, one of my personal heroes.

You'll want to fly in Medium difficulty in WOE/WOV to counteract this odd phenomena.

Download's working now, thanks Spectre!

Whoops, sorry guys, the mods have to approve the file before it's available, stand by to stand by.

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7352 Had to do the cop-out and do a Beta Release guys, just don't have the time for modding lately, and I wanted you all to have something to play with! Enjoy, -A

My old book on the Hornet asserts that the easiest way to tell an A from a C aside from the new bumps are the vortex generators on the LEX (curiously present on the Mirage Factory A model) and some strengthening brackets on the tail:

Nope, Nope and Nope, and the model needs landing gear, but I'll start working on it next month maybe, I'm busier'n heck these days!

I have a Kyushu Shinden that just needs textures, I'd be happy to fix it up for you guys to use. You can see it in the Veeerrrrry upper edge of the first pic, the second is just a fun little data sheet I did for the Bear, one of my favorites.

Oh hell, we're all going to die at the hands of a crappy special effect!

Okay, I'm making this the thread for the F-35 cockpit, and I'm just going to post problems here as I encounter them, so future generations won't be quite as confused. Question 1: Cockpit Counters. How do I set these up? I have 3 dials (10 sided polys) sunk into my flat panel display with numbers (see screenshot). Should I link these together, give them constraints, what should I name them, basically I'm asking for a cockpit counter tutorial in 3ds max, can anybody help? I couldn't find anything with the search function, swear! This will solve a lot of problems on this cockpit, and get you guys into the -35 a lot faster, so any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks man, the map thing helps a lot, I never figured that the same texture would matter, just thought a different name would automatically apply the groundmap texture. I've also got an idea to make the damn thing rotate within the square, too. Cheers!

Doesn't anyone remember? Kim Jong Il's host body was defeated by Team America in 2004 and his Xypod form returned to his home pranet of Ziron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeYFdZROvAE Damn you Arec Bardwin!

As soon as I get the cockpit done, which will probably be a while, considering my current inexperience and frustration. So, in answer to your question, considerably more than 2 weeks!

Anybody know anything about moving maps? I've got a radar_screen and a map_screen, but both are showing up as the moving map, and it's not MOVING, as it's zoomed out as far as it can go. Help!!! -A

The A and B models have the same wingspan. Th B is the CVSTOL version and has the hump for the lift fan. the carrier version has larger wings. And if you check the subject of this thread, you'll see it's the A version I'm working on right now.

F-35

No kidding, there's a B-25 out of Centennial that keeps flying over our house, it sounds soooooo manly.

External hard points are definitely modeled. And I'm sorry guys, I confess I'm stuck in Cockpit HELL and Skinning is a more fun than working on the Pit this weekend!

Yeah, s'not working. Grrr...

F-35E looks like bunk to me.

Does this patch need to be installed over the latest version? My installer can't seem to find the WOI application...

Anybody notice anything different about this one... HMMM?

It's nice, but a little to: "Photoshop Filter beneath CGI" Trust me, you guys will have custom made, lovingly crafted loading and menu screens for all 4 variants. Yes, I said 4. :D

Nope, still the A, just showing off the F-16 style skin I whipped up for it.
