F-5a
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Will have .. I' currently modelling the Mk.7 BRQ-7 (probably more accurate would be the IRQ-7.. then comes the 10 (and yes; it was used on the Tornado!!) That will make it 3 different types of ejection seat! -

I wish.. ..unfortunately only a small fraction of that time was spent on the model; the remainder of the time was taken up by my trying to survive this10-year long financial crisis!! Fret not; once I've finished the Mk7 and Mk10 ejection seats required by some of the Greek F-5a(s), it will be released! Regards, Sophocles -

F-5a
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Spot on! The Norwegian F-5a s principally sported the doped aluminum colour scheme, but the aircraft themselves were quite distinct, featuring an arrestor hook and canopy anti-rain apparatus.. not to mention a completely different cockpit! The Norwegian F-5a will probably be released after this sees the light of day! -
F-5a
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Maybe, but this is only the standard F-5a model (completely different to the Netherlands NF-5a or the Norwegian F-5a which will be released progressively after this one). I'd much prefer to get the dedicated models and their cockpits out there before I release a paint-kit). On the other hand, If someone is willing to tackle the skins for a multitide of other operators (Spain, Iran, Jordan, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey.. using the standard F-5a or RF-5a models, I'll happily oblige! -

F-5a
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
We're nearly there gentlemen.. I'll try to put a small update log together later this week.. so much terrific work has been done by the team! Baffmeister has been brilliant; putting the final touches on his F-5a flight model, Crusader has been responsible for much of the avionics work ..(more on that later!) and ofcourse, RavenClaw; who has made the RF-5a model possible (which I have to admit I'd failed on numerous attempts!) Currently been focused on completing the textures on the first release pack which will feature Hellenic Air Force liveries from the 60s to the 90s.. pretty close, I think.. and 1 more..

High Detail Cockpits in SF2
sophocles replied to ravenclaw_007's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
This would be a Godsend.. There's a lot of pain in the poly-reduction process.. but unavoidable at present If you want to enjoy reasonable frame-rates in the game.. it took me months to scale back the cockpit in the F-5a.. -

All of Ravenclaw_007's expansive additions will be included in the final release .. the first pack of which, I dare say, is nearing completion -
Seat as part of main model ??
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Ofcourse dtmdragon, I'm not refering to the pilot's perspective but to viewing the ejection from an external view as in the pics of the av-8b and the F-5 further up in the thread. -
Seat as part of main model ??
sophocles posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hello all! I've been ini dancing for hours trying to see If I could get the seat on my F-5a (which is not a separate LOD but part of the main model) to function in game .. meaning to separate from the aircraft after ejection.. I'd really like not to have to make a separate seat model LOD; does anyone know If it can be done? PS: It an be achieved easily with weapon stations, FTs etc.. but the entries in the aicraft data for the seat don't really provide for a node call .. I added one but it doesn't work.. [Pilot] SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT Position=0.0,3.10,0.9 PilotModelName=HGU26AW.lod SeatModelName=F-5a_Seat ModelNodeName=seat_frame ..............this doesn't work SeatPosition=0.00,1.6,0.33 MinExtentPosition=-0.25,2.86,-0.22 MaxExtentPosition= 0.25,3.87, 1.00 CanopyNodeName=Canopy_Main Any help would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Sophocles -

Seat as part of main model ??
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Yeah guys I know it's hillarious .. and sometimes we (I at least ) take this hobby way too seriously .. I'd really like someone to confirm that this is the case for stock aircraft and for those that have seats added as separate LODs. Thanks fellas.. You're the best!! -
Seat as part of main model ??
sophocles replied to sophocles's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Darn it! I knew I missed something ... Seriously though, it appears that only by incorporating the seat as part of the main LOD and using either yakarov79's or dtmdragon's methods, can we get the seat to appear during the ejection sequence. With the seat as a separate LOD, all I've seen so far by experimenting in-game is that the seat disappears from the main model ie. it's not visible in the aircraft after ejection. In all cases however the pilot disappears completely.. Can someone confirm that this is the case please? Thanks -

The F-5a had the standard Northrop seat Russ, with some countries including Greece substituting them for MB Mk10s Thanks for your help! -
