I remember YEYEYE told me that someone want to make a new Su-24 mod, so he made this cockpit, but someone isn't finished the su-24 mod, so he share this cockpit to us,but he didn't share that to ather people

If so im wondering if I could upload the whole mod since creators are missed for decade, I'm sure to mark this message(the lod is not mine and so) in page

Timeline confusion

that mostly because the game doesnt support modern avionics too good. so you might be flying a F-35 but restricted to F-14A+ level systems.....

Yeah, it's just that SF2 allows us to fly these birds with a lower bar

Plus, personally I want new F-35 too

The Chengdu J-20 look really interesting to make. 

 

Now i vote for J-20.

Seems we almost don't have any morden chinese birds, like J-10C, J-16 and J-20

nother curious question (yeah im puzzling this rather than doing the chores i should be doing )

how old is it? what the oldest file date in the entire folder?

Well

Texture date is 2014/6/21,

LOD  date is 2007/11/16,

and oldest is "SU_Light.tga", 2004/12/9

still got me

but if someone looks in the node name list and sees "Perche" and "Left_vitre" it should give someone a better clue out there.

all the modelers have unique signatures when it comes to naming their parts, even if its the couple that leave everything as "cylinder001", "cylinder002" etc!

Yeah, nice point, now we wait

Here we go

can you share a pic of the aircraft folder contents and of the whole lodviewer screen? might give us a better clue what you got

this is what i mean by whole lodviewer screen, so we can see the info on the top margin as well

                                                         this directly below

this would be good to see too

Oh ok, I realized I should have done this earlier

And the point is, in principle I can't just upload the whole mod, even if I mod it,and if I only upload the skin, it won't work for most of my friends here, damn

Here are its texture,and actually looks it has better model and texrure then that

Quite Hi-res

I think I should just get the mod from CombatACE, but I can't find a trace of it, weird.

Checked, no, not at all

what type of install was it in (ODS, NF5 based etc) or did you have it just sittin there?

 

Already installed in my SF2, so sadly I don't know

Planning to make a new set of Su-24 skin, hope to be able to contact the creator

It seems to have been on my hard drive for so long that I can't even remember where I got it.

I tried searching the forums for the Su-24 and it seems the results all point to the V2K version, but this looks completely different.

The key factor is in the basic ini of this aircraft

We need to find
AvionicsDLL = Avionics70.dll (or 60)

then changed to
AvionicsDLL=AvionicsF14A.dll

There is a price for doing this, as we will completely lose the ability of the radar to scan and map the ground.

So far, I have only applied this module on the F-22A, because the weapons it can carry are very limited (for example, ground weapons can basically only use GBU-32 or GBU-39), and it is an air superiority fighter, so it doesn't really matter.

If I was flying a multirole fighter like the F-35 or F-18, I wouldn't be willing to make compromises

Just a thought aloud... assuming the limitations, if you have the model ready in 3ds with all and fries... why not ask a member with max 2009 to export it to lod?

PS: if it is feasible I can help with that.
PS2: When you see that it was a success, you can do the KnAAPO version??? (with the tip of the vertical stabilizer straight)

PS3: No it's not success , although I successfully imported the model into the game, I still lost all axes as well as animation layers, but I think you're right, there is always someone to help

PS4: Actually the original one is KnAAPO Su-30M2  (with the tip of the vertical stabilizer straight and and have a pitot tube)

PS5: Even with help, I still want to be able to figure this out on my own, I can't always ask for help, especially since we all might be on opposite sides of the world lol

Plus, I'd love to be able to make the mirror-like skin that the F-35C uses, there are photos showing VX-9 test squadrons using it, but the currently available mod doesn't include specular maps, so there's nothing I can do about it.

So the recent plan, after solving the problem of this thread, use new resources to make a new F-35B/C mod.

I think FastCargo did a great job, he and most of you are my seniors, it's just that the F-35 first entered the military in 2015 (it was only the Marines then, the Air Force and Navy got them much later) and his mod was last updated in 2010 , which is amazing.

Due to the limitations of the age at that time, there are many missing details in the mod, just like the F-35C actually has two wheels for the nose gear.

At the same time, Menrva is also redoing the cockpit details of the F-35, which fully aroused my enthusiasm for creation.
