Hey CCC,

Great job.
Could you send me the .F4P and LOD's for the skins you sent me? As I told you in LE, i need to check the skin to see how's it going.

Information directly from the manufacturer's website:

MBDA's site is very comprehensive. Even a few videos of most of the stuff they make.

now fix the MFD's up and were good to go... An F-14D pit would be sweet, so we can A2A and move mud..

Plus then we'd have two MFD's in the cockpit...

OK, I will have a second look... Im seeing an F-14A pit... Cos the front office of the D has two MFD's, one on center and tthe other to the left... Or are the first pics an A, and the second set of F-14 pics a D... Cos on second look, i see a different HUD and the top of one MFD...

BTW, sweet as F-15C pit!!!

Hunter · Post by **Hunter** » 2002-01-18 15:27:00

RGR CCC, going there, thanks for the hint.

hc_pookie · Post by **hc_pookie** » 2002-01-19 03:11:00

OK I'm actually posting some screenshots of some of the new Russian weapons! Credit goes to Spike, CCC, and Ripper for most of the models, and the rest to me.

LOD #1 is getting improvements for most all of the bombs - I converted some of the 6-sided LODs to 12-side LODs. Not all are texture mapped.

Enjoy. We expect to add all of these in the final SP2 release but some may not be present in the first public beta of SP2. We're too busy squashing bugs to get them all ready for the public beta ;^)

the premature pit is not a new build.
Since im fooling around lods in new SP beta, cant resist to find it back and do some test. here to share you the feeling, low in the vark.

btw a shot of Ripper's pretty phantom, plus pave spike and three F4 fuel tanks(TRT(tm)), give you an idea what vnam warhorse look like.
there are look-thru bugs at sparrow slots, and extra rack/pylons need further tweak.

ccc · Post by **ccc** » 2002-01-26 15:35:00

Thanx to Rick for converting J7MG model! now with some tweak, J7II or J7P can be modeled. with minor tweak on canopy rim, mig21F-13 can be done too, all evoluted from J7MG!

As for PMFA/MF/bis, no, a quick fix cant do them.

Tazz · Post by **Tazz** » 2002-01-28 11:47:00

Beautiful!! Any other screenies you'd like to share with us CCC?

Alex · Post by **Alex** » 2002-01-28 17:29:00

I've done that skin. I'm glad that you apreciate it.
Originally it had DPRK markings on top wings but they seem to have disapeared !
There's also a green version of it for PRC.[*]null

colonel tomb · Post by **colonel tomb** » 2002-01-28 23:21:00

Does anyone know a quick and dirty way to convert MAC .sit skin files to work with PC falcon? Thanks

Ya, Thanx Tiger, im really amazed at the colors you pick for the skin, the visual is excellent, a sense of incredible authenticity! ( though its a fictious scheme, and DPRK got no J7MG). I damn love this skin, looks like some Eastern Europe style?

and yes, i tweaked the wing shape from dual delta to simple clipped deta wing, so texture mapping is distorted. Add a new bmp for mainwing, no success yet.

BTW Tomb, Mac skins will be ported for PC side, no worry.

Dragon · Post by **Dragon** » 2002-01-29 12:37:00

Tomb:

A .sit file is a compressed format similar to .zip. You can download a shareware program called StuffItExpander to expand it. However, you may get a PAK format which is unique to our Mac version of SkinEditor.

But, like ccc said, most of the skins are applied to the new aircraft that are in the upcoming SP updates.
