  1. @Hardcard Thanks HC! Attached is the miz file CVW-14 TRAINING MISSION 2021 v.1.0 SWAPR min triggers.miz
  2. @Hardcard Hey man! First, thanks for the super sweet mod! My buddies and I are trying to get this script to work but we are having an issue with the static/client planes disappearing after 3 minutes. Wondering if you or anyone else has encountered this problem. Thanks, Spins
  3. Hello, I have the TUSBA with an unmodified F-16 Cougar TQS. Unfortunately, I can't really help. I'm also trying to figure out the best way to model idle detent and also getting the comm switch to work with SRS.
  4. This would be really nice to have. For all aircraft.
  5. Silent One, You have to set the takeoff trim manually (beyond using the TO Trim button). Here are the settings: Below 44,000 gross weight = stab trim 16 degrees (MIL or burners) 45,000 to 48,000 gross weight = stab trim 17 degrees (MIL or burners) 49,000 and above = stab trim 19 degrees (Burners required) This will allow the aircraft to trim to 3 degrees pitch at the end of the stroke IF you achieve the proper end speed. So wind across the deck and whether or not you use burners can make a difference as well. Good luck!
  6. I don't intend to cyber-ly bully anyone, but I need to write this. I was just informed that this kid, Spencer Lever, who has been stealing not just mine but others work... had uploaded my Hornet cockpit to http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/, which is sort of like Turbosquid where people can buy your models. This dude has been pretty brazen in his fascination with my model and converting it for sale or use in DCS (as DCS: F18C), or to be used with online stunt teams and the like. What's more annoying is that he had asked me quite a while to go to help him learn 3D modeling, as all he knew how to do at the time was modify existing models. With that knowledge and knowing that he has a penchant for taking other peoples' material, I did a quick search with his name and the website to see what else he might have "borrowed' from others. If anyone recognizes these models or happens to know the authors, PLEASE let me know so I can get them removed from the site!

He apparently took this guys money to do a mod for DCS, Jim Blim. He apparently tried to sell his work as well: I know he's also stolen a Hawk model, but I can't find any evidence of that anymore (was on his Facebook page). Anywho, there's not a whole lot that can be done to stop him. But I will spread the word to ensure other modelers or potential "customers" don't get burned by him. Also, if you're a modeler, try as best you can to keep tabs on your work (nearly impossible, to be sure). An awesome kid on Facebook informed me of this particular event. Jamal Ingram
  7. I would contribute to crowd funding for this... just saying. 5K isn't that much, and perhaps 10K for materials would be a good limit. Jamal
  8. We are still working. I'm still working on the model. I completed the EOTS turret last week. Pics are on my flickr: Jamal
  9. Meh, never any need to apologize for natural curiosity. :)
  10. I can answer this one. We indeed used the same photo reference. It's a shot of the cockpit from just above the seat headrest, and a couple of shots looking down on the side panels. It's the flattest shot of the instrument panels that I could find, and gives some generally good scale of objects to one another. Since there is no instrument panel diagram I could find, it was my best and only photo reference. I also looked up the CDC-2000J and found some good reference shots of that (and also information on what it is), so I could model the data link female end (not shown) and some other details. I also found some good side interior shots to get some of the depths and bezel parts on the LCD screen itself. Any questions regarding modeling, I'm always happy to answer! Jamal
  11. Rgr that, back in my hole. :)
  12. Hello, I'm the 3D modeler. I had posted earlier a shot of the model in DCS, which Skatezilla had kindly lend his assistance to. He condensed what could have taken me about a month to figure out on my own or through trudging through the forums to a couple hours in a single night. Here's the shot: There's still ALOT for me to figure out, but I just wanted to correct the notion that no other updates had been made. Jamal
  13. Hello all, With the gracious tutelage and utmost patience of Skatezilla, the F-35A model is now in the sim! I'm a bit reluctant to post this, but I wanted to give an impression of the progress made so far: Thank you again, Skatezilla! I am eternally grateful for your assistance! Jamal
  14. Hello Boris, It's on there, in the modelviewer pic. Jamal
  15. Thank you very much, Skate! I really appreciate it! You will definitely be hearing from me! Jamal
  16. Hello all, I have finally gotten the model to compile successfully. Here it is in ModelViewer. Hopefully I will have the texture integration figured out, and then drop it into the sim. Photo stream here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27277424@N04/sets/72157634318581967/ Jamal
  17. Hey guys, Here are higher resolution pics of the model on my Flickr page. Thank you to beaupower32 for the information on the bay doors. And to Paulrkiii, yessir, I will be working on maintenance hatches. Jamal http://www.flickr.com/photos/27277424@N04/sets/72157634318581967/
  18. Just a quick note, There is plenty of flight data related to both the F-15 and the F/A-18 available through NASA's website. And TO manuals for both the F-15 and the Hornet describe in enough detail how the navigation systems work and how they are accessed through MFD/MPCD and the HUDs. As far as tactical manuals regarding weapons systems, there are some floating around out there (more so for the hornet than the F15), but there is also plenty of other material that could be referenced to gain that type of information. So, what I'm saying is, there's plenty of material out there that could be referenced to make a fairly accurate (more accurate than what we have now) versions of some of the US aircraft. But, I must say, as someone who works with alot of this stuff... I'm glad they don't have the info. :-P
  19. Woops, made a mistake guys, The F15 high speed test was to Mach 2.8 with engines trimmed to 104-106%. Forget that Mach 3+ nonsense :) And, greetings Pilotasso! Hope to catch you online again soon! Jamal
  20. Hey, guys, Sorry to butt into the conversation late. I work with an F15 squadron ANG squadron, and know many of the pilots. We fly both F15A's and F15C's (currently). I'm also working on F15's for MS Flightsim, and we've got pilots from each version of the F15 (from A to E) helping us with verification, including a former test pilot. Now, I'm not a math guy, I'm a 3D dude, but having dug into the TO's, here are some generalizations you guys probably know about. 1. F15 top speed is borked. The statement about the wall is correct, that's a vmax issue with the engines and some airframe components. Not many people know, but an F15A with (I believe) 229 engines was flown to Mach 3+ (canopy vmax was exceeded) over Edwards a number of years ago. The canopy melted and warped in many areas. 2. Wing loading and turn performance is way off. Turn performance charts are really important. I'll see if my FM guy would be willing to post up some real turn performance numbers. Part of the problem may be in how they tried to model the Pitch Ratio of the hydromechanical system. Here's a general excerpt of how it works: The Pitch Ratio is scheduled to give you about the same stick travel per G throughout the flight envelope. The ratio is about 4.25 lb/g. It is scheduled by Mach number and altitude and does a rather good job; however, it won't quite cover the full range of aircraft and stabilator power and there is some scatter of the Fs/g, i.e., some mild increase in sensitivity during low altitude/high speed flight, and some decrease in sensitivity at low speeds. Pitch Trim Compensator- This basically changes how control surfaces are deployed when something disturbs the aircraft in pitch, ie.: speed brakes, transonic trim changes, flap extension, etc. So, the stabs need to trim automatically, and their deployment rates need to change to maintain the 4.25 lb/g schedule. Now, from our tests in lomac, it appears they tried to model this system, and it's impacting the flightmodel. When we compared the turn rate to our current model, it just seemed as if the stick was getting in the way, in that at certain areas of the turn the stick was losing authority (this was all flown at half stick rates). Sorry for the geekiness, there's just one more thing I wanted to point out. 3. Keep in mind that the F15A, even with -100's, is more maneuverable than the F15C. The F15A has a faster nose, and can crank tighter than a C. The C has a ballast in the nose because of the extra fuel weight when they added the extra fuel cells in the centerline and in the wing. This was done to bring the CG back to it's original configuration in the A. Thus, this created a slower nose. Now, I say slower, but the F15C's nose in lomac feels like it's anchored! Again, I'll see if I can have my FM guy post some real numbers. Oh, and this is just a gripe... FIX THE EYEPOINT!!! No F15 driver would ever be able to work with his body scrunched in the pit like that! hehe. A more realistic view would be to atleast have the HUD centered on the center of the monitor.. And radar/nav avionics don't match any F15 version it seems. Jamal
