Great work.
CCC, works fine on this end.

[Daws]

Ah! Just to mention, actually is for Free Falcon 1a only.
SP3 version is coming if I diden't encounter some problem due to the F18 "simple" model, changing Dofs and switchs.
To CCC: you're free tu include this pit (3d and 2d lods) in future FF release, of course if isn't a problem for Aeyes too.
Please include at least 512 textures.

No problem, the 3D pit textures can be used for SP4/FF, the graphics are copyrighted though, so I don't know what the FF Eula says about that area.

For the pics see FF forum too
Next project? Yes, some sightseeing of the italians Babes on local beach!
Here in Italy, we are in deep summer, hot, and a lot of beautifull girls run around with very high heat-signature!!
Too bad to stay on PC making some mods!
(but I'm one of the folks that sometime,even in summer, do this intresting hobby!)

Daws why is this patch FF1 specific?

I ran it on SP3 and it ran fine (choose Grey Wingts texture1 on 512res.
was I just lucky? or did I miss bugs in the first few mins I tried it out?


thnx for this beatifull pit (both of you).

Thanks all!
To Wid: have you installed the new hornet on SP3? If yes it work perfectly, if not,you have fixed wing vapor, no ex.light, no LEF TEF moving..

Sp3 verson n the way...

[Widowmaker]

thnx for answering Daws.

no fixed wingtrails here
but indeed no lights.

so it works but has some minor flaws

anyways great enough to be enjoying you guys pit(s) pit till the real SP3 version comes out.

Hi Wid, I'm not referring to the wings trails, but the wings vapor, it's a bit hard to see but present..
The dedicated SP3 version, dosen't have this feature too, due to the "simple aircraft" dat that influence in some mode the cockpits dofs and swithces. What I'm going to do is to remap the wings to the texture present in SP3. In fact I think you actually get no texture on the wings .

[Widowmaker]

hmmm I should look more at the wings instead of in the cpt

anyways good luck

Daws just finished a new version with some more instruments and the choice to apply to SP3 only or a SP3/FF install.
Available on cockpits.nl at the cockpits/freeware/3D pits page. Uninstall your older 3D pit first by running the old installer again and unapplying patches.

Sweet work on the Hornet.

Any word on when we get to see the opening/closing canopy for the F16 ?

[Jester87]

bump!

[Daws]

I'm not the guy on the opening canopy of the F16, is Tomas Hamarcak, but dunno if He's reading this forum, but there's some draw back on the things, because problem on the 2d pit...maybe open canopy "only" in 3d pit..

Integrated 3D canopy in 2D environment would be ideal. There is one drawback at the moment, and that is that the 3D stuff in 2D, so also the canopy internal parts will be transparent when flying through smoke and clouds. This is quite a bit disturbing and needs to be looked at. Also matching the 2D and 3D environment and texturing it is quite a job, not impossible but timeconsuming. Ideally this is all fixed, but it requires some more than just a few tweaks at the moment.
