Hi, i work with Blender and the fbx addon exports the model properly with the UVs, i have try only with multi/sub objects-standard materials and works, i don't have try to export the model with animation or with constraints. Here is the link with the options that the addon offers : http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/Autodesk_FBX

We plan to include it, with the MEKO 200, in the next update of Hellenic Air Force mod.http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2512848&postcount=40

Good work, nice to see the missiles fired.

This is the MEKO 200 Hydra Class Frigate, the model was built in Blender and counts 137,000 triangles, in the future will be integrated in the Hellenic Airforce Mod along with the Roussen Class FAC .

I change the names as you suggested but it didn't help. Maybe the orthological import of a model is the key, so i will try to import the model as a new module via the folder Mods/tech..i can't think something else to do for the moment.

I had already made this, because i was serching for the position of the Rocket_points and the local axis of them. No, i give different names to the areas in the collision model. I will try your suggestion.

I hope not, this point connector on each launcher must play a role.

Thanks for your response, Yes it is, but it's not replace the ticonderoga.lua the Roussen is imported as a new model. Here is the Log files https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-ohjs2nh2Z9STRHOUhHZGJpNWc/edit?usp=sharing

Hello everybody, i am working on this model and i have hit a wall with the SS missile, i am not trying to integrate the exocet yet and i am using the same code from the ticonderoga.lua trying to launch AGM-84. In 3ds max i made the same points as i have see in the model viewer and for the visibility of the launcher caps i have use the same arguments. For the moment i don't have made a separate folder for the mode, the Roussen.lua it's lives in the navy\blue and the only one lua that i have edited is the db_countries.lua. In the game the ship don't launch the missile and the caps stay visible, in the same mission tico made the launch in the first 22sec (visibility animation works perfect in model viewer). This is the code from the Roussen.lua and a photo inside from max, any help would be appreciated.

Hi Hitpoint thanks for your comment , i use the default EDs 76mm naval cannon who has embedded the smoke effect. I saw a video with the cannon firing and certainly you're right but if the ship is in movement the smoke effect is not that strong in the game.

I just finished the animations of the MG3 machine guns, 30mm guns and the 76mm cannon. All guns firing in their zone of surveillance and the traverse angles are limited due to the superstracture of the ship. A small demo video, nothing fancy.

Hi all, because of my limited knowledge in programming, the introduction of the model in the simulator proceeds slowly. Unlike in 3d the work go faster, here is the LODs of the model.

As far as I can see the next few days will be experimenting with the scripts trying to figure it out. I hope that in the next post I can present the missile craft in action, before that moment those are the missiles available for the ship: Exocet MM40 block 2.......1574 triangles Exocet MM40 block 3.......2800 triangles RIM-116...........................2150 triangles I made these models the last week and forgot to put it to the first post. The fins on all models folded as in reality, to fit them into the launcer.

I manage to paint something today. Eventually it took two textures of 512x512, one TGA for the planes of the hull/deck and a BMP for the damaged objects above the deck.

Thanks Kuky, about the integration of the model in the game the only way i think is by distribute as a freeware mode for DCS world. I don't own a 3dsMAX licence, i am using the student version and if i have understand correctly the licence it's not possible even to donate the model to a commercial game. Ok back to the model now, the damage model is ready and it's adds 14.000 triangles to the original model, ι have not painted yet. I made the DM model looking in modelviewer and copying somehow the way that ED made the dm model of ticonderoga and now i'm trying to figure out the GT.DM function in ticonderoga.lua ( i don't know programming), read first and ask later,for the next days i will searching the forum

Thanks guys for your kind words, i hope this week to post some pictures with the damage model.

Thank you Silver_Dragon

Hello community, this is the model of the Roussen class (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roussen-class_fast_attack_craft) missile boat where i am working from the first days of June. Today i finished the paint job on the model and i put it in the water. Well, i want to share with you this first screenshot from DCS world. The number of triangles is 55.000 and i use one texture of 2048x2048. Now i make the damage model which include separately the 76mm gunhouse, the superstructure, the eight launchers of the exocet, the engine room and finaly the Mk49 launcher. Damage model texture will be 1024x1024. Here is the pictures of the Roussen class fast attack craft.

Hello to all, those are four videos that i have make for the LockOn Greece event, "Georgia on Fire 1985". The event had take place between the 4th of November and 5th of December. It is my first effort with the free camera of the game and with video editing programs. Also on this event it was the first apperance of my 3d model of A-7E Corsair II, wich going to release when i put my ass down and finish the damage model of the aircraft.

Hello all, a small update for my project. It's a month now that i have upload the model at LockOn Greece for testing, mostly for feedback on the flight model. I have modify the LUA files sfm_aerod and sfm_engine but i can not make something that satisfies me. The A-7E replacing the A-10 but soon i change that with a not flyble aircraft. I would like to share with you some photos of the A-7E with a new skin that i have made, due to a internal event here in LockOn Greece, its a fictional Aegean Ghost.

Thank you 59th Ducky for the help now it's ok and i notice that the diffuse color must be black 0,0,0.

Hello again. Two days ago I discovered something that i should have seen the summer when I asked the question for navigation lights, then I had check the model only slightly during the day where the outcome had left me satisfied. Yesterday I play a night mission and when I turned the navigation lights and the Taxi / Land lights came up against with the picture below. The images below show the settings of the lights in 3Dmax, the last two days i trying to fix the problem by changing the settings or the Material type to LOMUtils but I have not managed anything.

Thank you John, you are right i scaled the pilot in more correct size.

An update for the A-7E, the model and the texture are ready plus i have find the position of the eight pylons and now the loads are in the correct position, also i have build a new 300gal tank for the A-7. No damage model yet. http://forums.eagle.ru/

Oοο yes the air brake, the animation gave me a big headache. Even now I'm not 100% sure.
