You're right OldCrow ! So, I'm adding some extra-faces on fuselage to reduce some "edge effect". The smoothing job will come later... when I'll transfer the model from Blender to Max !:D @Rogue_Blade : read this : http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/Surfaces_Skinning This works with Max too... but I don't already tried ! So, I begin to work on nozzle, and made then this little animation. Then, it's time de begin building main undercarriage...

Sad news

Hey huys, i have made just for fun a new Video around the "Hokum". It is more an fast Music Video than a Movie, but i hope, you like it. Btw: This is not the DCS Black Shark, i have added the Helicopter with After Effects from FSX. Youtube: Jabog32: Comming soon... Have Fun! F6

You look at it. ;)

Things we don't talk about in the forums.

?? :huh:

Agree. Where did they come from? Were they stationed at one of the US "forward bases" in Europe?

hi paul, i have been concerned by these hugly pants, i have been shooting stuff but it's going to be a heavy kit to build the russian blue suit with map zips on legs. if by anyway, you know some russian pilot that could shoot his legs when he's wearing his fly suit that could be a great help. :thumbup:

Looking good keep up the good looking work :)

well worth the money, I have one of the originals and 'tweaked it' to work like the one pictured above, and it works a treat :D

A little update Finial touch ups on the old 917th wing Hawg Head and choosing shields the 46th and 47th fighter Squadrons did not were shields but they may look good

I completely agree with the sentiments expressed here that a sim should never be used to lean the basics. Some parts of flying can be explained and sometimes even practised in a desktop sim. Procedures, especially IFR ones.. the story of Zorrin reminded me of a student of mine. In the early 90's I was teaching at one of those flightschools where we did 10-day instrument ratings, 2 or 3 day multi-engine ratings and the likes. And we did PPL crash courses.. In walks this swedish student, gets assigned to me, forgot his name. His flying skills (handeling the a/c) a bit below average, not unsafe, but he was thinking too much.. Anyways, our flights were usually filled with exercises from t-o to landing. And departing the airfield to the practise area we already started flying "under the hood" tracking radials outbound after a couple of hours. On this particular flight I was planning on introducing him to this practice ( he had 4-5 Hours) but time constraints made me forget/skip the briefing. I mentioned this to him while climbing out, and he replied basicall like Zorrin's student.. I know how to do it, no sweat.. So under the hood he went, and lo and behold, he did just fine!! I was testing him, and let him do intercepts, tracking in and outbound etc.. Ok, coming back he did mess up the ILS, but that was due to his handling :) Before he came over he had apparently practised a whole lot on Flight Simulator, ( version ?? 2-3-4? Have no clue, was early 90's) So he makes a perfect example of what you can and can't learn in a basic sim.. No handeling skills, but using IFR equipment and procedures is fine. And going a bit further about full motion sims, I have flown quite a few, but i wouldn't say that you can learn how to fly on one of those.. Every 6 months I have to remind myself that it's a computer,and not an a/c and I do fine..

Sweet thanks :)

This made me chuckle :D http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,428262,00.html maybe it was a time machine in disguise :P

What stock LOFC model are U gonna replace?!

Hey guys, I don't speak russian but I can clarify maybe a little in english. The mod can only be used server side, and not fully against AI. The purpose is to increase all radar missile Pk and remove the biggest exploit maneuvers. If you wish to try it please PM me here. I will try to explain a bit more //Yoda

so guys, here we go, one little update picture, sorry that i cannot provide a bigger one, but the model is not complete, only the maingear is missing, and then we have to check the model in our simmod team. there for only this little picture. sorry just wanted to provide you guys a picture cause last time it was mean only to show a picture of the shadowside so you guys could not see much of the bird :D let me say it this way, we are getting very very close to the wrapping part and the animation part of this model so if nothing goes wrong this bird will :pilotfly:in a few weeks so that you all can enjoy the bird in :joystick::spam_laser::gun_sniper::gun_smilie: greets boomer

Pitbuilding Update september 5th 2008 - CnC Router finishing All that's missing now on the router is attaching the stepper motors.. Some pictures of the progress: The fixing plate for the Router motor. The motor sits like tis in the cradle for the Z-Axis. Like this...! I made a Zero Backlash Nut from a piece of Teflon that I made 8mm threads in... And split with a finetooth hacksaw on one side. The split can be tightened with a couple of 3mm screws so I can remove any play that wear and tear might make in time.. The Z-Axis 8mm Threaded Rod runs in a couple of simple attachments I made from some 4mm Aluminium scraps I found. And I drilled a 22mm hole in the top one using one of those "Step Drills" that go fron 6mm to 22mm. They are bolted to the top and bottom plate with 6mm bolts that go through the MDF and have BIG washers on the side of the nuts. And it all looks like this before finishing, sanding corners, making holes for cables and then painting: The Stuff That makes it work: The Controller Card undergoing assembly: The Stepper motors are Sanyo Denki Type 103H5208-0841 24V 1,8 Degrees per step. I don't know if these will be powerfull enough even when I gear them down 3:1..? Inputs anyone? Ps. AlexRC You have any thoughts?
