On the way back from Duxford RAF museum, I passed this....

Marcfighter is indeed working on the Su-25, but not the Su-24.

Hey Gerald, just had a look at your model, pretty nice mate!

It is a WIP yes, Marcfighter is making it. Here's the thread about it... F/A-18E/F Super Hornet

Personally, I'm not the guy to be talking to about the advanced ini dancing, however from what I've seen posted throughout different forums, I would imagine that its the same type of setup as the external model methods shown so far. As long as the animation is defined in 3DS Max then I believe it can be manually operated by a key input. Some of the guys in the community who are the 3d modelling and ini experts are definitely the ones to ask about the topic.

Do you mean to say can the canopy be animated whilst being in the internal cockpit view? If so, that can be done, Mago has done that with his MiG-21 cockpit add-ons. If you are asking about other types of animations, like levels moving or switches flicking, gunsight mountings being moved etc, I would imagine so as TK has recently put in 10 additional animation slots that can be user-programmed within the game. For this to be used however, the animation has to be defined and set within 3DS Max.

Hey Sundowner, I'm going to Duxford this weekend, where they have an RAF FGR.2 Phantom and also an F-4J. Would you like me to get you some good detail shots at all?

Fart! :stink:

Jim, templates for wpnssgt's F-16 series are here at CA, templates for the Mirage Factory falcons are at C6. In fact, wpnssgt F-16's: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...&showfile=7 MF F-16's: http://www.checksix-fr.com/bibliotheque/in...ail&ID=4852

Looks quity nifty, impressive to see it do a cobra-ish manouevre.

In a nutshell MajorLee and SayWhat, a simple program with a few commands such as texture browser, zoom, pan and rotate I'm sure would suffice to make it a very handy tool indeed. I know nothing of coding or programming, perhaps there are others in the community that do. I guess it mind depend on the complexity of the coding of the .lod file, how easy it would be to interpret in a viewing mode of some sort.

Would anyone in the community have any interest or potential knowledge on how to go about creating a lod viewer for mainly the stock TW aircraft and also any 3rd party mods? This would cut down skinning and repainting times immensely. I know that this has been asked before however the discussions haven't ever come to much. Anyone interested?

If I remember correctly from Boopidoo's Su-15 and wpnssgt's MiG-25's, the dragchute deploys as part of the speedbrake animation, however, it gives the effect of being authentic by using a command line something like: DeployWhenOnGround=TRUE You'd have to check exactly what it is though.

Allen, I have a fictional IAF skin in WIP for the Stock A-10A.

Crayola Bib's here

SidDogg, if you're using Paint for your skinning, you could go miles better with a different program; The Gimp. It's completely free and is almost upto scratch with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Oh, and nice kill markings mate!

If you go into the L39ZA.ini in the L39ZA folder, to make the shadow not appear, change the following line... [shadow] CastShadow=FALSE<<<<<< Change to this ShadowLOD=l39.shd ShadowType=1 ShadowCastDist=80 MaxVisibleDistance=80 This will cause the shadow to not appear. I don't know about not having any weapon instructions. Perhaps download the file again. There is a weapons folder with the weapondata.ini entry and the gunpod files included. For instructions on adding the weapondata.ini entry see the knowledge base, there is a tutorial there.

Looking great Mustang, especially that cockpit! Flanker, here's one in the downloads section... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autom...p;showfile=2865

When you extract the archive file, you should get an L39ZA folder, Weapons folder and a readme file. There are instructions on how to add the gunpod. As to the low fps, I just experienced that as well. I made two flights, one with and without the shadow on. Turning the shadow off or deleting the shadow line from the L39ZA.ini file will give you a much better FPS.

WK, I made some high rez F-86 templates, if you'd like to use them, let me know.
