Hi Yeniceri :) We did not need them : we only reskinned MiG-29 cockpits by only modifying the textures : there is no way you can build a new fully functionnal 3D cockpit in Lockon :( and we did the only thing we could do : reskinning :) Cheers :) Hub.

Sorry, I forgot to answer your question : they do really think about it :) Hub.

Probably :) I hope the "two_more_weeks_team" will try to do something about it :) Thanks a lot EvilBivol-1 :) Cheers :) Hub.

Actually, we will try to replace the Kuz with an occidental Aircraft Carrier (with catapults) when the Rafale model will be integrated :) I'm not sure we will manage to put our hands on a 3D model of the Charles De Gaulle, but that would be sweet :D Cheers :) Hub.

Héhé FWT :) It's already under way : not by us (we are working on 2000-5/2000-D/N Mirage models, not on Rafale), but by the "Two_More_Weeks" team : have a look here : http://www.checksix-forums.com/showthread.php?t=138719 Or at some of their screenshots :) : Those guys are doing an amazing work :) And their model(s) should be compatible with our mod :) :D Cheers :) Hub.

:D Hub.

Thanks a lot Yeniceri :) Actually, the initial plan was to lightly reskin the cockpit of the Mig29S only and to swap a couple of 3D models. It seems we got a bit carried away at some point :D Cheers :) Hub. PS : 3D modelling a plane is a -huge- work :) Good luck for your project on the A-10 , you are doing more than an incredible work (here if I'm right):)

Hйhй :) Merci Youm :) A+ Hub. Thanks a lot nesher :) We tried and still try our best to do something nice :D Cheers :) Hub.

Thank you very much FWT :) About the table on the right leg, as said by Azrayen, it's the estimated distance to a radar emitter given by the number of lights "on" in the RWR/SPO :) The full Lockon map with the airfields direction and the numerical ids used by the Su-25 are available on the left leg :) Thanks again for your interest :) Cheers :) Hub.

Thanks a lot :D Hi Kusch :) The Su-30MK skins will only be released at first with the AdA Mod, but if you ask Wapanomi gently enough, he will probably deliver a stand alone mod with his skins only :) Just go there and ask him :) (and thanks for appreciating the pit of the 2000C :) ) Cheers :) Hub.

Hi FWT :) It's still planned for the end of the month :) Su-33 cockpit is not altered, only Mig29s (MiG-29A, MiG29C, MiG29K ;) ) and yes, you can use precision bombs (AASM), even though it will be in a "degraded" mode (with a couple of limitations :) ) Cheers :) Hub.

Hi Wapanomi :) Great work, like always ! :) By the way, there are some nice people there and there who liked to talk to you :) Cheers mate :) Hub.

Use Modman :) You can browse and extract the textures stored in the .cdds files :) Hub.

Very, very good work :) I really like the VA-35 theme (even though its the "simplest" one ) :) Thanks a lot for the idea and sharing such a nice result ! :) Hub.

Hi all :) A little update on the AdA mod. BarbsMan created completely a couple of new weapons 3D models : Python 4 air/air missile : And AASM (French JDAM with a rocket motor) the folding control surface are now correctly animated in Lockon (screenshots to come....) : Meanwhile we almost managed to finish the 3 different cockpits and their night version : 2000-5 (MiG 29C) : 2000-5 night version : 2000C RDM (MiG 29A): 2000C RDI (MiG 29G): 2000C night version : Cheers :) Hub.

I sent him a mail :) Hub. PS : many thanks Kuky :)

Hi FWT :) Wapanomi developped at first these skins only for the AdA mod, but could probably create separatly, a mod including his work after the release of the AdA Mod :) In other words, creating a small "Su-30MK" mod is not a problem for us and shouldn't be a problem for him :) Just ask Wapanomi on the french C6 forum (http://www.checksix-forums.com/member.php?u=39028) :) Cheers :) Hub. PS : and yes, those skins are awesome :) we are blessed to have people like him modding with us :)

Hi all :) A quick update : Wapanomi is done with its skin of the Su-30MKI that replaces the flyable Su-27. Here are some very nice screenshots he posted today on the C6 french forum : And BarbsMan built up a Metor 3D model + skin in one day to probably replace the R27ER (has the Meteor is the only French used / European missile with a reach that is more or less comparable to the one of the Alamo C ) :) Cheers :) Hub and the AdA Mod Dev team :) PS : I forgot, Barbs. added some glossyness to the RP541/542 and slightly modified the weathering of the textures, here is the result :

Thanks a lot gentlemen ! :) Meanwhile, BarbsMan has been working on the RP541/542 (2000l wings fuel tanks), here is a little screenshot : And here are the corrections made yesterday evening on the pit of the 2000C : About the release date, it will be before next month : we still have 20 missions briefings to translate in english and we would like to have at least one week of testing before releasing the mod :) Cheers :) Hub. & Barbs. PS : for more screenshots, WIP etc... you can have a look there :)

Hi guys :) A little update on the work in progress on the Mirage 2000C : it's going fine, but slower than expected and we still have a lot a work to do : - we are trying to find a solution to the main constraint : "how to use that much space with so few (almost all non movable) instruments" - fixing a couple of errors on perspectives (anenometer), shadowing etc... - rebuilding almost all the lower part of the pit (master arm, ecm panel, radio controls to be resized / moved), Here are a couple of screenshots, again, it's work in progress... :) Cheers :) Hub. PS : we set up a little web site : http://www.ada-mod.org and a forum : http://www.ada-mod.org/forum. Go there for the WIP section. Right now, almost everything is written in french, but do not hesitate to drop by and use english ! We will try our best to answer you :)

Thanks a lot Dvst :) About the texture files, they are not in the kabina files, but in the .cdds files located in the <lockon dir>\Bazar\World. You have to extract the textures files located in those .cdds files with a utility software like the one provided with modman and then put the modified textures in the <lockon dir>\Bazar\TempTextures (think to to remove the texture "dimensions" at the end of the texture file names, or it won't work). Cheers :) Hub.

Absolutely :) There is no way you can modify the 3D model / shape of a cockpit, move the instruments or change their behavior. We did the only thing that was possible : edit the textures and reskin everything with largely edited/modified Mirage 2000 cockpit photos. :) Cheers :) Hub.

Hi guys :) Sorry for answering a bit late :) I'm sorry to tell you that you will be late of probably 2 weeks (I hope not of "two more weeks" :D ) :) We ran into some troubles during network games between modded and non modded clients, had to fix those problems and as a result, to correct / replay / rebrief the 28 missions of the campaign that comes with the mod :) The work on the Mirage 2000C (substitute of the Mig29 A) took as well more time than expected, but is 80% done :) We will post some screenshots next week :) Thanks again a lot for supporting us and sorry for not being able to deliver the mod as initially planned :) Cheers :) Hub.

Don't worry nesher :) Everything is ok :) Just a little misunderstanding :) And thanks for your support by the way :) Hub.

:beer::thumbsup::flowers: Thanks for your post :) We did not ask for that much :) Anyway :) Thanks for your message :) Cheers. :) Hub. PS : it's impossible to change the flight model, but we did some make up work for the weapons as well :) Just a pity that we cannot alter the missile behavior as well, because MICA IR cannot be correctly modelized :) PPS : you can find here one of the best 2000-5F cockpit picture available on the web :) The design is still one step behind the grippen, because the Mirage is one generation older. If you want to compare the Gripen with a french fighter, you have to do it with the Rafale :) (see here) PPPS : The Mirage 2000 family is fairly wide : a 2000C is very, very inferior compared to a 2000-5, almost as much as a F-16A and a F-16C :)
