MiG-29 Skin question

Slowly making progress, I couldn't do anything without the excellent template. -
MiG-29 Skin question
Svetlin replied to PhantomPhan's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I will do, Stick, but I am taking my time in finishing it as my skills for making skins are limited and I would like to make the skin pattern as close to the real thing as I can. I had some trouble finding a proper font for the numbers on the air intakes, but I think I found a pretty close one the other day, that will require just a few touches to the numbers to make them look OK. I am still looking into resources to find our the exact number of aircraft and the exact air intake numbers, but information is scarce. So far I have come to the conclusion that the new paint scheme was applied to 10-16 MiG-29A aircraft, that were purchased years after the initial supply of MiG-29C and MiG-29UB. The first number I have seen on pictures is 550 and I have seen also 553, 555 and 558, so I guess I will make 10-16 consecutive numbers, starting from 550. -
Delete nodes (Cockpit frames )
Svetlin replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
I guess you could keep AIRSPEED_INDICATOR as the type refers to a movable type of part in the cockpit and the NodeName directs to the exact part of the 3d model. -
Delete nodes (Cockpit frames )
Svetlin replied to jeanba's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
In the past (referring back to SFP1 times), parts of the cockpit that needed to be made invisible were moved out of sight rather than completely hidden. Here is how Fubar512 did it with the F-4E cockpit trying to make it similar to a MiG-29 cockpit: =========== Instrument[069]=MoveCanopyStrut =========== [MoveCanopyStrut] Type=AIRSPEED_INDICATOR NodeName=FrontFrame MovementType=POSITION_Y Set[01].Position=-100 Set[01].Value=0.0 Set[02].Position=-99 Set[02].Value=1.0 Hope that helps! -

You put so much effort and talent in making your models look like the real thing, so it would be a shame not to use the real weight. -

fake pilot or weapon FLIR turret?
Svetlin replied to dtmdragon's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
The early version of AT-6B had the sensor turret added through the fake pilot method. I will try to send it to you through PM, as I am not sure if the version can still be found here. -
Yep, MiG-21bis. 2 MiG-21bis and 1 MiG-21UM were the last flying machines of the type in our Air Force. AFAIK they are not officially retired yet, these 3 are still kept in flying condition and will be for some more time, however no more flights are planned.

WIP Mega THREAD!
Svetlin replied to ErikGen's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
When nothing loaded on the belly weapons station, all air brakes were deployed. I am not sure though if it is possible to animate selective deployment of air brakes in SF, related to a weapons station being empty or not. I know it is possible to activate/deactivate an animation related to the aircraft being in the air or on the ground (this is used to activate braking chute only when the landing gear touches the ground), but that's all. TW MiG-21s all deploy the belly air brake irrespective of the belly weapons station being empty or not. I am not sure about TMF MiG-21s. -

When the MiG-21 is loaded with external fuel tank, the rear airbrake is blocked, that is why it has those additional airbrakes on the sides. -
Croatian MiG-21 upgrade "issues"
Svetlin replied to MigBuster's topic in Military and General Aviation
5 decommissioned Bulgarian MiG-21s without engines were sold to Ukraine in 2013. That was confirmed by specialized Bulgarian media back at the time.
