so...time to build some wpn toys...

[ccc]

Wait, pliz move a pilot into that pit!!

Though I've not tried latest LE yet, i always got problem to cut-n-paste parts from one LOD to another...this project progresses so well, we all get excited! dont forget to add nav/anticollison lites and gears!

[Com_gp]

A shoot of the ef2000 at nevada, hehehe, crazy stuff.



ComGP

[ccc]

GREEEAT! i saw you lite up the burners!!

pliz clean up that air-intake..cant wait this nice toy!!!

[Com_gp]

Well if you can wait..., ill send this to you soon, BTW, heres another related toy...(dedicated to Aeyes...)



And heres some armament... its the sparrow, i know that the ef2000 cant take sparrows in it, but thats f4browse work.



ComGP

[Zaggy]

This just keeps getting better and better... Its quite utterly F#@*ing amazing!!!

[RP]

Yes. This is a very moving sight.

[Aeyes]

Hey Comgp, you need some texture for that 3D pit?

[ccc]

Incredible!! ComGP, that 3d pit...GREAT!!

and Aeyes' right on time to support this project!

my 2c about 3d pit here,
1.How about making that curve of canopy frame more smooth with more polys? Since the 3d pit including interior of pit, seat, some canopy frame and fuselage/wings..its poly count is relatively low. So, spend few more poly on that frame shouldnt harm. My previous idea is using a flat plain there, then use combination of rim texture/transparent color to create its smooth curve,

2. no 3d polys for IRST? and reserve a slot for retractable air-refuel probe?

3, i'll check fuel tanks ASAP. this project just make everybody excited!

Im on that one, right now the curve of canopy has almost more vertex than the rest of the plane...

Well, the IRST is there, but i think its too small, i should make it bigger.
And for the fuel plug,...., ill model it, just in case

Thanks, we need something different.

Thanks Aeyes, send me whatever you have to Com_GP@yahoo.com, please, do not make the zip bigger than 2 mb, if not the mail account will reject it.
Anyways, dont hurry, im leaving town today for a couple of days

Hey Aeyes.. how as your vacation??

did you get the poster..??

Widmak

[ccc]

well, widmkr et al,

i need good line drawings of ALARM, Meteor, and typhoon fuel tanks.

those drawings on Missile Index looks no good. need better one, side view.

and about fuel tanks, i didnt find any real shots of typhoon with tanks..??

[Cooler69]

CCC: Check out the offical pics at:

www.eurofighter.com

in the photolibrary.
e.g.

http://www.imagepark.de/perl/efpublic/d ... 736&id=555

is a pic with fuel tanks.

Have a look at some of the high-res pics - excellent closeups for missile text etc.

[Widowmaker]

Some more info on loadouts..
sorry not yet linedrawings

http://www.eurofighter.pso-online.com/E ... apons.html

[ccc]

well, i've checked those links before my post, ya, really hard to find good pic, right?

btw, that fuel tank shot is too rough..i guess those fuel tanks probably come from RAF Harrier? Jagaur? or Tornado? brand-new design?

[Aeyes]

Hey Widmak, thanks for the poster, i received it today. It has some very nice info on it wich i certainly didn't have.
Now i have the pics and the data together, thanks a lot!

[Widowmaker]

np.. your welcome

btw see it as a birtday present..

see ya

Hey all I waa wondering if there was a way to use an existing model using LOD editor to export to 3DS max to modify it in some way.

[Com_gp]

Making progress, a pic showing to ingame shots and a rendered pic.



I need somebody to tell me how to change the mfd's positions, i know its posible because the mig29 mod did it.

About the fuel plug and the IRSC ball, ive deleted them, i didnt like the result.

ComGP

[ccc]

GREAT!!

just my 2c, the canopy rim could use few more polys to round out its curve, i mean the sides.

Aeyes could help locating mfd, just wait a moment

[Widowmaker]

Wow ... looking very very cool..
great job

Widmak

[Zaggy]

OK, check this out ppl... Over at frugals, there is a thread about HMS (Helmet mounted sight) for off boresight AIM-9X (and i guess AIM-132(ASRAAM) as well) shots...

It seems it is all possible...

http://forums.frugalsworld.com/ubb/ubbh ... 03961.html

Apparently, telling F4 somewhere in a datafile that that particular a/c has a HMS system, allows you to use it straight away...

I dunno, may well be very worth looking into!!!

[ccc]

Thanx Zaggy... but we know they can, and have done HMS/HOBS a long while ago!

[Zaggy]

Oh.. cos the impression i was given, is that it is an RP5 thing... and RP5 isnt released yet, so they cant do it yet!!!

[Zaggy]

OBTW, just looking at the EF2000 model, is it just me, or is the nose cone a tad bit narrow looking???

[Zaggy]

or maybe not...

[ccc]

ya, the radome shape.
In early drawings, it looks sharper than current model. Besides, if model use less poly, it wont show the right curve of radome. we need a closer look to check that.

[Com_gp]

Well, model looktrus almost solved, just have some strange stuff that i cant solve in the air intakes, anyways, im gonna start to copy/paste stuff from other airplanes such of the wheels, the ejection seat and maybe the burners...



And about the radome..., well, i modeled it from the Da5 line drawings, im gonna take some lateral and top pics to show you how is it.

[Com_gp]

here is the pic,

[Widowmaker]

Wow .. wowo... and again wow..

ComGP

[ccc]

Well done ComGP!
