F-89C cockpit proto

[+Stary]

here's early stage beta of F-89C/D cockpit I put together past evening; in fact it's just the main panel with rudimentary layout and the rest is intact sans some recolouring -but it has two engines indicators, radar, key instruments or equivalents of in the more of less right position, that lovely "pre-Phantom" feel to it etc:

ingame view:

 

 

skipping through 383 pages flight handbook I do realize all the things that are wrong with it at current state, but again, it's quick and dirty proto cockpit/stand in. The Scorpions currently use stock F-4B or F-4C cockpits so it's closer to real thing anyway.

 

"Stary you lazy SOB, craving for post likes and reputation points like an emo teen" you might say at this point.

 

"You're welcome. Next time I shall put radar display on my P-26 cockpit and call it Dragon Lady one"

small fix for the seat position, now the guns and rockets are alighned much better:

 

[CockpitSeat001]
ModelName=F89_Scorpion_cockpit_beta
OpenCockpit=FALSE
Position=0.0,-1.02,0.972
Offset=0.0,0.0,0.08
ViewAngles=0.0,-2.0,0.0

if you need any books, I have the

 

Detail & Scale

AeroFax

and

In Action

 

for the Scorpion on pdf

[+Stary]

I think I have enough sources now Kevin, at least enough to make some small progress, read: restart it from scratch this time by the book

 

 

have higher priority models here and the current alpha I posted sort-of works as a stand in so this one can't say a release date otehr than two weeks

I have faith that you will knock it it out in about 14 days.........

[+sophocles]

(I'd tone down the horizontal streaks across the metal textures though..

Hello everyone!

It have been a long time since I have done any modding, I am doing small projects for SF2, such as avionics texture and effects modding.

I have been modding Jane's series sim and thought i would like to do some for SF2 too.

Here is screenshot of new radar scope for Stary excellent F-89 cockpits.  I do realize this cockpit have been not updated for many years, so I want to bring this back up.  If someone want new texture for radar, please let me know and I'll uplaod the file here.






Cheers
