Sundowner

View File F-4B_68 Please take note that ALL work by ME ( Sundowner ) is now no longer covered by the CombatAce Freeware Licensing agreement. What this means is that you can only use my work for your own use, you CANNOT re-upload it or any part of it. So please no copying of my skins etc for any use other than your own. I MAY allow other individuals that I know and trust to make modifications to this mod but ONLY by contacting me first. I started by rebuilding and remapping the fuselage, this then lead me to rebuilding/ remapping just about every other part of the aircraft model....wings, burner cans, splitter plates and so on and on. So to my eyes things look ok but some of you may think I've screwed up completely. If so please just delete this pack and go back to the stock TW models. So what you get here is an alternative to the stock TW F-4B_67, this will give you an extra F-4B model to choose from. The TW stock F-4B_67 Cockpit is used. It is set up for Air to Ground missions only, as used by the USMC at the time .So it will be pretty useless to you fighter boys. All of the preconfigured loadouts have been created from photographs of the time or from official mission reports. VMFA-122’s “famous” three gun pod configuration was very limited in usage and restricted to one specific aircraft in 1968: DC-7 / BuNo 148378. This aircraft is featured in this pack, again you will need to select the pre configured loadout using the mission editor. This is a complete stand-alone aircraft but set up a little differently from the stock versions by having the TER racks for the inner wings built into the aircraft itself. 2 types wing drop tanks are also included and Chaff and flare doors are also modelled. This causes complications with the loadout process so that it is best used with pre-built custom loadouts which become accessible when you modify a mission using the mission editor, if you dont have the mission editor you will need to buy it from the ThirdWire website. It's very important you read the Read Me to fully understand what this model is about. there are also a couple of images to help with how things are set up. Go fly.... Sundowner...........31/10/26. There will be an earlier version to come.......... If you want USN birds I can thoroughly recommend the Vietnam Air War F-4B by yakarov79......it is excellent.

I've really no idea what you're talking about , but it all sounds very interesting so I say go for it and keep us informed of what you can achieve.

I might try and get this thing uploaded over the next few days....

Just a few old base shots...

Up close & personal....

It's the "new" and unknown folks that I'd be very cautious of, trust has to be earned as we all know. Anybody who knows me only has to ask for a max file and I willingly give it to them because they usually explain what they want to do with it, but above all I trust them and expect them to remember where it came from in the first place. You won't get this by making it available to everyone and his dog. New blood "playing" and doing ini stuff is one thing, giving them the whole bag of sweets is another.

My personal view of that "tool (?)" would not make it for general release, but just for known 3ds max current SF2 modders. I think if the "whole world" so to speak to get their hands on it, it would only be a matter of time before the TW models would be showing up on Turbosquid etc but under another name ...if you get what I mean,

Sorry guy's but VMFA-334 only flew the F-4J in Vietnam...

I think that eventually some-one will use AI and reverse engineer or whatever it's called to allow more features or flexibility with the game itself. When it happens some folks will go mad shouting it's unethical or even pirated use of the original game files, but after 20 odd years I personally really don't care. If the resulting mods are too "borderline " to get from here I will get them from somewhere else. Let's not forget that in the very early days that nearly all of the object mods were being made from pirate copies of 3ds max and photoshop. Those mods are what made the game so attractive & TK never seemed really bothered where they came from either. It was the TW F-4E model that "miraculously" showed up in one of the beta packages that is the great,great, great grandaddy of every F-4 model released since. If we can get more tools like the great tools produced by mue and gerwin produced by using AI then I'm all for it.

Has'nt somebody just something similar with Photoshop ?

Sunday screenies..........

Two Weeks......maybe

I watched most of the day on live tv from a hospital waiting room, we could'nt believe what we were seeing, made my problems seem very trivial in comparison. We just knew that the world would never be the same again.
