Hmmm yeah, something weird is going on with my inbox, I think it needed a little clean up, I deleted a few things in there... Well, not only do I fly F-16s, but I've been trying to finish a "simple" mod based on the Chilean Air Force for a long time... I say simple in quotes because over time I found details and solutions. of the same in the excellent viper team model... I actually thought of working on the YAP vipers, but although they are very precise the viper team work has more animations and covers the wide variety of blocks and variants... Here are some improvements... * Relocated (and slightly scaled) IFF and RWR antennas * Canopy frames with their respective black borders (in blocks D and B I managed to thicken the frame that divides the cabins) * The section of the engine shown between the fuselage and the nozzle on the B models had a mapping problem that only showed a narrow ring, now also fixed... Some corrections in the drawing of the panel lines (not of the number of rivets type) but something better was achieved. I did a lot of this with added 3D with fake pilot and hiding/overlaying things...also did some work on the canopy TGAs...so far I think it meets my expectations. Later I will try to show new images

WIP

I start this post to share my frustration, like self-help clubs ... If someone wants to curse with me, I invite them to do it to feel better ... It turns out that I still have my old and glorious macpro 1.1, with all the possible improvements that you can imagine, and that it has been enough to run my design and editing programs, and of course the strike fighters series with everything and potatoes and other sims as well. .... well last night 2.30 am browsing in opera and with FinalCut open but without any project for a moment the screen was transformed into a kind of matrix world with green lines like a drawing of the apple II and then a couple of flashes and I was left with the screen with vertical lines of colors and typical mac sound in a very bad loop ... Damn, I said, assuming the facts immediately ... What happened? I'm not really sure, it just came to my mind that I had planned to change the thermal paste in a few more weeks (duh !!) since I had never done it, otherwise neither dust collected that graphic card Has something similar happened to you? ... have you recovered one after damaging it ... today I will try to look at your insides to see if I find any component visibly damaged ... although I do not think I find anything because these things do not create flames or smoke ... well normal people haha I have plans to change my ship but I did not expect it yet and in this way ... I will try to recover the graph and if not I will ask the ebay uncle

Ok, I just wanted to take a look to understand what your mod consists of I correct I just saw your work in another post ... it looks great... many ideas come to mind... Congratulations!

¿¿?? Hi bro, Could you show us how your modification turned out? I can't understand how you added a 3d element to afterburner

Thank you Lathe, it's very good!!!

to hell with the SU-57 I want the zentraedi!!!!!, who joins ?

Zentraedis in russia???

As they said before, having templates, new skins can be made and improved... if something is missing to paint, it can surely be improved over time, the same as details that you have found in the data... the emotion of downloading this bird deserves this gif

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitro Kuleba, has just announced through his Twitter account on February 27, 2022, that the largest aircraft in the world, the Antonov An-225 Mriya (Dream), was destroyed by the Russians, which is a large commission for what this plane represented, the only one manufactured and currently used by Antonov Airlines. The plane was at its base of operations at Hostomel Airport, a terminal that has been the center of attacks by Russian forces since day one. Ukraine has defended this important and logistical airport without success so far. The condition of the plane and how it turned out is unknown, but this will undoubtedly be one of the saddest news in the history of modern aviation. According to the BBC, the plane was scheduled to leave on February 24, but the flights were blocked. "It lasted three days until it was destroyed," the source said. The plane has been burned and it is estimated that it will take more than five years to recover it, at a cost of 3,000 million dollars. "We want the Russian Federation to pay for it," Yurii Gusev, director of the Ukrainian state-owned infrastructure and transport company Ukroboronprom, said.

Complementing what daddy says... the main success of the F-35 is not being a perfectly conceived plane (because it was a disaster in several aspects) but for all that is known (economic pressures, politics, etc.) this was a big problem solved by engineering... and today it flies and performs missions despite 2 decades of work... which makes us think that with money even a broom can be transformed into a 5th generation fighter.... That is why it is the design reference for Koreans, Chinese and Russians (KF-X, J-31 and Chackmate?)

Eric Go to the file .../F-35x_COCKPIT.ini and modify with these values [CockpitSeat001] ModelName=F-35ACockpit Position=0.0,4.82,1.1

Let's give it a chance, like it or not, it will be part of future conflicts... I remember that the same thing happened with the f-16 in its beginnings and today it is a legend.

Anyway, the cockpit frame needs an update as its shape resembles that of the F-117, I thought of making a new one using the false seat (false pilot) trick, but we would lose the animation of its particular opening and the virtual cockpit would remain intact the same detail that we try to correct...

mmm I had not thought about it .... your answer is very logical .... I will try and tell you if it is solved ... thanks a lot bro!

(if another thread of de same) I have this doubt for a long time, as the title says I have 3ds max 9 updated to service pack 2 but the TW Exporter plugins from 2010 or the last ones published do not work for me I get a message that is not compatible with the version ... The only one that manages to boot is version 8-25-06. Any idea what happens? regards!

Hi Jarek, windows 7....

@daddyairplanes Hello friend, an idea, that imperfection in the polys you can hide it by painting an outline on the sensor texture with the same color of the fuselage.

Although I am not very knowledgeable about weapons, but according to my amateur common sense I must assume that the infrared systems of the sidewinders must guide the missile both by the detected heat and also by the volume of the area that radiates the heat, in In this sense, although an exhaust can reach the same temperature as a nozzle, surely the heat-volume formula is the one that would give the missile the greatest precision over the reactors.

Thank you very much for your comments I will test your indications by modifying values in the data, I will be careful not to spoil something

Hello, I do not know if this has already been consulted before, I have used the search engine and also the KB but I cannot find what I want to know ... there is a way to modify the position of an airplane relative to the terrain by editing the DATA.ini or it should only be achieve from 3d design ?? When I refer to modifying the position I am talking about adjustments such as raising or lowering (and that the plane does not "float") or eventually rotating on the x axis to adjust the inclination like wwII planes ... I have read things close to this matter but I am not very clear if it is feasible to edit that aspect or not. Greetings and thanks in advance!

Several of us make improvements, some do not get to be published by who knows what ... what if you should consider that when you get better definition in lines and texts, these may look strange on some monitors depending on the resolution you have and the video card you have ... also do not hallucinate with giving it such excessive quality because you will have framerate problems ... my advice if you work with jpg files save them with some photoshop-type editor that has "optimization for the web" I remember that it is used a lot for web pages that lowers you quite the weight of the file despite you give it high quality
