F18E or F18 blue angels skin ?
EricJ replied to FooFighters's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
If he could I'd be most appreciative, or Alienjb42 has a lead for me as well, so we'll see. -
SU-27 US
EricJ replied to Falcon161's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?nam...1a8b7d3e6df8719 Here's stuff I did for LOMAC last week. I'd actually like to be able to open the file, as the one on here is ".ipb" and frankly don't know what that file type is. Is it just the Su-27 by Marcfighter with the nation changed to USAF or USN? -
Happy Birthday brah! now give me 35 push-ups!

Alienbj42, you got a PM as well, I figure if he's not going to reply, I can send you what I got. I've been over it last night, and it's alot better than the monster above.... LOL USAFMTL has a point though, he did do that so I could at least see and to stop bugging him about the SH, so yeah, let's see about making eighty bucks worth it. I mean hell I'm the one who spent the money, and I'm offering it for FREEEEEE. Yep get it into WOE and yep, I'll send the joker over, seriously. -
lol yet the Russians didnt' try and seize Ghost Recon, etc. I never liked the whole Mexico thing anyways, Europe is where it's at really, leave the hechos alone..

EricJ replied to Falcon161's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Look, just that last phrase could start some stuff, so please I would highly recommend future posts return to the topic of a Su-27 in US colors, not the Middle East. I don't want flashbacks from the Ubi boards, I just don't. -
Multiple Flap Settings
EricJ replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Oh I know, but the main problem is that despite that, I don't know jack about multiple flap settings. I mean you've explained some valid stuff don't get me wrong, but I just didnt' actually know, so thanks, now I understand a bit better -

Okay first, NO CAPS. Second of all, the model is "as is" meaning it sucks, will continue to suck, unless a) somebody helps me get the model I spent 80 bucks for into there, or B) makes one themselves. I can't find the original MAX model as to include the things you suggested, the fuselage needs to be bigger by a bit, the intakes area all wrong, mapping needs to be redone. That's along with the noted stuff. So sorry until it's worked on, then we can have a decent model. Unless you know how to convert from LOD to MAX, then we can get down to business. Plus the two inner pylons aren't offset by 9 degrees, nor are they spaced properly, due to the LERX being all jacked up. But I am working on at least improving the skin. The ini file had to be edited, weight-wise, and god forbid I show you the cockpit. I had to use a regular Bug cockpit so I can at least have something reasonable... Oh yes, the tank model and texture (unedited) is via Mesh Factory, so if I do go public with this joker eventually, then that at least is by them.. And to reiterate again, I know it sucks, and mentioned when I first showed shots. Since I cannot get my model to work, you will continue to see this sucking model. -

Well apparently the already mapped texture works, so: -
F-14D VF-213 "Lions Head"
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
"Fixed" the fuel tank texture. I'm going to try and make a seperate model (via hex editor and texture, if you don't mind Typhoid): EDIT: Well some checks anyways, and it looks like you can't have two types (to be able to select between various skins) so I guess when I do release it (looking like next week for sure, it's getting more and more finished). I'll have to just include the edited stuff. -
Multiple Flap Settings
EricJ replied to a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
SA-7. But I've done a couple combat landings in a C-130 so I know what the experience is like though we didnt get shot at (Balad). But I've been simming for.... 8 to 10 years and I've done quite a bit, so there's still no concise answer why I would need any more flap settings than what's already what's around. I think that's my point. I figure a "combat" flap setting is a relic of WWII and not something thats applicable to jets and I'm wondering how much is enough before you start re-inventing the wheel, in which case doesn't need to happen. -

Politics, pure and simple man, alof ot the people I know don't like the Super Hornet, as in some cases (most) it's not a proper replacement for the Tomcat. Well I agree and disagree on that point. As an active duty member in the US Army, I have to deal with whatever they issue me, so I think some have to admit time moves on, and so should alot of people. Not to say that the Tomcat was a crappy plane, it's one of (and still very much is) one of my favs, just that the SH is still a good looking plane, and nothing wrong with admiring beauty. Another thing, the model in the screenshots and the wireframe are two different things, I'm trying to get the wireframe to replace what's in the screenies. -

Well I at least got the new tanks in WoE. However the plane, heretofore nicknamed as "No Name Plane": I've followed some of the basic stuff from Thirdwire, and tried just exporting the aircraft itself, but it's crashing. Is it because of poly count or? Granted there may not be much enthusiasm towards the No Name Plane, but heck, I spent eighty bucks, so if anything, I'll use it and be done with it really. -
Takeoff from Carriers

Thanks, with Le Missioneur you have to select "Must take off from airfield" and select: -
And still we wait for more, but I'm still sticking with LOMAC.

Okay, slow down and re-explain it in a more slower, concise format, please. -

EricJ replied to FooFighters's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Well I did happen to have come across it after all... Apparently it was in the many zips he sent me. As you can see, it's crap, and just needed some more TLC from whoever made it. So I got the model from TurboSquid, and if there are some tutorials (it's MAX2, so I got MAX3.1) I could use, I'd like to know, or I'll PM the model I bought. SH.zip -
Maybe, but my source points towards BIS, they've been messing with it for a while, so only the future can tell.

Yeah a good friend of mine said that Game 2 isn't finished yet. I figure given the track record so far, we'll be seeing ads for Game 4 before it works out.

Sorry, I'm trying to takeoff from the carrier so I can learn how to trap in WoE. -
F-14D VF-213 "Lions Head"
EricJ replied to EricJ's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Yeah this is Typhoid's F-14D (that's what he named it) and so yeah it needs alot of additions that I can't add. And for the most part if the one in the works (supposedly) has the same mapping, or whatever, I'll transfer it to the appropriate model. -
