Hawker

Thanks Jeff, I really appreciate it! And here is Version 3 again, this time with the F-4F enclosed. Thanks to "Doghouse" Don for bringing it to my attention. Just do the same old thing where you unzip to your C drive. I just through it in without updating the readme file, but now at least you know it's included.

How do you guys like the sound changes? The Doppler is kinda cool I think on the cannons.

I forgot to add this, a decent mission builder where you can create fun missions in a similar fashion to the very old but fun Chuck Yeager's Air Combat! That would kick butt. :)

I'll mess with it some more tonight and let you know how I got it to "somewhat" work.

Thanks! hawker@comcast.net

Thanks for the tips and I know all sims are similar, but I need specifics for getting models into SFP1. Each sim has it's own way of doing this, converting/importing files, alignment of parts, etc, so what works for IL-2 most likely won't be the same in this sim. That Skunkworks site is a good place to start, so thanks for that.

Oh man, look at this. This game will rock! http://forum.biohazcentral.com/viewtopic.php?t=1607 I hope SFP1 will incorporate this in the future.

There's no guide anywhere (yet)? I'm just curious how you guys who have built new add-on planes learned how to do it. I can do 3D modeling, it's just getting it all into the game the right way that has me stumped. Thx

Thanks ext. :) Glad to hear it. Capun, Just add the line AnimationID=9 and then it should work. You shouldn't have to do anything with "modelnodename."

It's one of the A-4s, I'm not sure which one, but it has a wiper on it. If you simply change the Tailhook animationID to 9 I think it was it will work by pressing the H key. But it's getting the animation to keep repeating that's the kicker. Not sure how to do that. So just change whatever it says for Tailhook to 9 and you can go from there.

Here is the zip file again, version 3. Canopies have been slowed down quite a bit opening and closing and look much better this way. Have fun. Hawker

I agree! I love the A-6 and any variants. Especially the EA-6B! :D Can't wait for the A-7 as well. I've always loved that plane.

Air to Air refueling! With this beautiful sim engine it would be so kick butt to line up behind KC-135s (and KC-10s too?) and take on some gas. Have a manual and an automatic mode (for those who get too frustrated trying to get it right, as it is extremely tough). And of course, more diverse ground objects/buildings, etc. My .02 cents.

Armourdave, Where did you learn to bring a model into the game? I'm looking for a guide to start some projects but am in the dark about how to go about it. Thanks. Btw your "Thud" is great! Thanks for your time and effort. :)

Is there a complete guide that explains everything in detail for going from a 3D model (broken down into proper parts-naming) to a working flying airplane in SFP1? I really need a guide like this so I can start working some ideas. I do have all the video tutorials already, but if anyone can point me to a complete one I'd really appreciate it. Thx

Fantastic! Wow, they really took a lot of effort you two. Thanks very much. Great detail/pics. :D

Did they ever fix the "slow motion" feel that this game has? If it were sped up just a small bit it would make me come back for more. Thanks

Thanks, all the appreciation is great and pretty much unexpected. So I appreciate it. :) Yes, it can be slowed down. I'll adjust all of the canopies and make a version 3 post in a day or two. Will start this today after work. Still not much luck with the windshield wiper on the A-4 yet. It's animationID=9 in case anyone wants to try and get it working right. I was able to use the H key to watch it move from left to right then stop, but I have no idea how to have it repeat it's movement.

I like the 2nd one. Personal preference though really. Nice job!

Capun, I was thinking of new things to try with the views. That's an obviously great idea to "check 6." Good work. I'll mess with it some more too. Thanks

Ok, just sent you a PM. :)

If you need help getting the NLG steering working, just let me know. I'd be glad to do it for that great looking Draken. :D

Thanks! I did try to mod the B-52 but it's pretty tricky. I don't think it will work how it is now unless struts and pistons are added to the gears. Would be cool though if it gets updated, I'd certainly work on it to get the NLG steering working.

It's much easier now to know when you've "Got Tone!" Thanks! Nice addition.

Ok, this mod is finished. I've modified the F5 View (Over Shoulder View) so that it is now acting as though it's fixed on or near the vertical stab (works on all planes). You can zoom in/out AND pan around with it. Panning really can mess with your mind however with the view back near the tail, so I wouldn't do it, but it's there if you want to. To jump to the next plane in this view hit F6 (which is object view). This doesn't mess up the object view at all. To get back to it, just hit any other view key, then F6 again and there it is. The ONE drawback to this mod is if you have shadows turned on it interferes with the view sometimes. Try it and see. If shadows are OFF, no troubles. Doppler The other file in this zip, soundlist.ini gives all the aircraft guns doppler sound. It's really neat if you go to fly-view and shoot your guns. Try it. Also this little file has the distances increased so you can hear sounds further away than before. Install info is in the ReadMe file. Enjoy!
