New 3d toys? IV

[ccc]

Tazz,
1. no idea about that blank "pilot nr", you can change that and give us some lession
2. ya, agree T38 wont join Red Flag. dunno if they are used for training in Nevada..anyway this theater is aim at "training", so, its ok.

Aeyes,
ya we can upgrade that pilot shape at last, though not on the priority list

ComGP,
well you are now F4patch master
but where're the shots?

[Tazz]

As far as I know, there are no Training Squadrons or Wings in Nevada. Most of them are on the Eastern side of the USA such as Columbus AFB (MS), Vance AFB (OK) and several in Texas.

[Com_gp]

Well, dunno, the pics already should be there...(sometimes it takes like a day to put them there)
And about T38 part in Red Flag..., well, i dont think it will be included in the campaing, but... if ccc want i can include it with the theater whenever i release it.
Tazz, be sure that i still have your list, all the planes included in the Red Flag campaing are from that list and the official Nellis AFB Webpage, although i will always welcome new information, expetially if you tell me what do you think of the mountains since you have been there.

Sheppard AFB in Wichita Falls also has T-38's

[Tazz]

So does Holloman AFB but these are black and are used for F-117 training and hour upkeep.

Here's my first project, these missles were built from scratch, using LODCompiler (plug These models have 12 sides for LOD1 and are fairly accurate, where as the originals where 6 sided, and had crooked wings, and were to large.

Although I don't now if the coloring is quite right. D/IIR Model is green, G/Laser is grey, and B/Scene Mag is white.

I have a modded MAV launcher that orients the missles correctly (the outboard missles should be rotated 90 degrees), but forgot to install it.

Next up, new AGM-88 and Maverick launchers.

[42jeff]

Holy nice work Mrvirs...if you need some help with those launchers let me know.

One thing I've been wondering about. Is there any way to put the wingtip missiles ON the rail instead of dangling underneath it?

Cool! well done Mrivers,
thats what we call modeling project!

I'll try to use your LODcompiler for new weapons!

[mrivers]

re: wingtip pylons.

Yes, you can have the missles "on the pylon", and correctly rotated to boot, it is quite easy to do in LODEdit. And I had it done, but I wacked my Falcon install, and haven't got around to doing it again.

I've modified the LAU-88 launcher to do the same, the Mavericks on the side rails are rotated.

The whole set is at:

Where did you get those skins for the AIM-120 and AIM-9?

[mrivers]

I base all the skins off of pictures of the real thing.

AGM-88

How do you introduce your LOD's into F4?
I've grabbed a few from the F4LE group,such as your Su27,some of the work you guys are doing and are still doing is fantastic,the Mav's are out standing!!

Unless you are familiar with f4patch-making or Hex-editing, you cant use those LOD1s. Those files are exclusively for experienced guys, just for evaluation.

Hi Team!

mrivers,

I downloaded and installed the maverick kit but when I start f4patch it says: error loading c:\microprose.....\3d\agm-65b_skin.f4p

Is it it me? Everything else loads up fine...but get no skins on mavericks. Thanks for you efforts!!!!

[mrivers]

Sounds like you need the Texture plug-in for F4Patch.

[RP]

Thanks for the quick reply. It worked! Awesome...thanks!

[Tazz]

Where can I get that EXCELLENT AGM88 texture???

[Tazz]

Come on.. don't make me beg for it

[Aeyes]

Errrm Tazz, isn't there a link a above for the missile?

[Tazz]

No, that only seems to include the skins for the AIM-9P/M and the AIM-120B. Unless I'm blind?

[mrivers]

Sorry, I want to release the AGM-88, but until I the go ahead to use a specific texture, I can't. Otherwise, someone else might have an update that uses the same texture address and chaos erupts (or just oddly colored objects). I'll try to get my 'approval' and post it asap.

[Tazz]

Hope you get it soon. That AGM-88 looks AWESOME.

On another note, I think the ALQ-131 can use a rework as well. All ALQ-131's I've ever seen where brownish and not white. And I think the round dome-end is curved upwards as well.
