it looks very good. i wonder about the resolution. but it looks nice so far. has he touched the hangars too? they look nice. i had some textures done too, when it was still only a max file on my comp, as you can remember, but as you can rember, there was alot of confusion in our team. this might be one reason why this all slowed down and people lost interest, unfortunatly.

did i ever say with my fingers. give me a programable jammersystem and i show you how it is used in combat zones. but what you forget is, that there is no such thing like a programable ECM function in this game, so people do have to use thier fingers, to get closer to the ECM methods that are used in modern tech fighters. but well, i am sick talking to you, cause the only thing you prove is that you are booksmart, not more.

GGtharos. you are right, your knowledge is lightyears in diffrence to mine. :music_whistling: about the stuff you wrote about you working on that shit, jup, you are again right! and about the people here in the forum who are pilots, you are right too. but, and this is a big BUT, what you do not notice is that you make a fool of yourself. you think you know pilots who fly these jets. LOL if so, they would have told you what the ECMs are capable of today. but well, you build the airforce, you are the ace who has 3+ kills in serbia and i forgot, you even design the f15s and the f22s. stay in the box where you are, but stop being unfriendly towards people you do not know. your additute is nothing that can be respected. in the end your post is worth hot air and nothing needs to be discussed with you anymore. by the way, i do not htink that german ECMs are that much diffrent then US ECMs, do to the fact that both countries are membersof the nato. if so, then i seriously can say, that the german ECMs must be way better then the US AIR FORCE ECMs. stop fooling people. get straight man

who worked on the runway texture?

GGtharos, nice one, but never assume to know anything about anybody unless you have ever met that person. LOL it is funny that you allways start fights with people who know more, then just little kids who think they have eaten all. when you want such gameplay like yoda is aming for, you might want to fly with battlefield planes. may it be so, but i see that alot of people support unrealitic things that destroy a sim, and the community that is standing behind the scenes. GG, for me, your answer shows alot of childish behavior, that helps nobody. again, how many fighters have you flown, or yoda, how many people have you ever talked to about jammers? i bet none. i just talked about it with somebody in our squad, who knows more about that shit, then you will ever know, and guess what, you are wrong in every respect my friend. but go ahead, support that stuff. but do not wonder why many people in the hyperlobby, who are well known, stoped showing up there. never asked yourself that question?

hi, i have a question. is it possible to define areas in a map with red lines for every pilot in the ABRIS. what i aim for is, making a mission in which every pilot has these red lines for battleareas without making an individual flightplan, so that a player, who ever it may be, who joins the game, has the same areas marked, so that they all can make induvidual flightplans ingame but all have the same boxes of threat areas? i have seen that on a mission on a server once, but i have no idea how they made it. thanks

yoda! sorry for telling you the truth, but i get more and more the impression of you as being a very bad looser. you want to deactivate ECM or ECM blinking. You know what, you talk about realism? i start to piss my pants cause of laughter. ask modern pilots if thier ECm can blink or not. LOL seriously, all your efforts are nice to see, but you start to destroy a sim, that will not be close to reality anyways, but why do you do all that stupied stuff. you want realism? go out with your girl, thats where you will have more realism. if you really want to do something for lockon, then figure out things, and talk about facts with people, who found bugs etc etc that are real bugs. ECM blinking my friend is no bug!!! do you have the possibility to talk to real pilots? if you do, then please, talk to them. ECMs are still covered as military inteligence, so we will not be able to talk about details, but some pilots might tell you stuff about it. sophisticated systems are automated in a few jets and ECM short time intervals are no magic

the nose needs a little bit touch up. the end of the nose is a bit to high. watch the foto. it is pretty good. you can see thet the nose ends at about the same high the pitot tubes are located. 5 degrees might not be much. but you can see the diffrences in a the shape of a model. tom, maybe you can check it again :-) cheers man. see ya next week in the air

screens, nope, not yet. give me some more time. i had to reorganise some real life stuff, like ai allready said before. to the question from laud: i talked to golfsierra: he wrote our former simmod host. so far no responce. i guess we would have to make a new forum. yes, this is all that is needed i think. but also a ftp server and a teamspeak

@john x: to the shape of my eagle. well, nobody here knows, besides super kung fu, yeniceri and gys, how much work went into the eagle allready. into the shape and so on and so on. i forgot about the number SKF checked the shape, but well maybe we found 50 thinks that could be changed. so i did that and believe me. it will not be correct to 100% but for a good mid-poly modell it will be very accurate. i which the enigine would support 500k, then i could go high poly, and the bird would be like the real f15c. but for the shape, we did enough on the back when the simmod forum was alive. and i think, 2 people who work on the eagle every day, checked the pictures of the shape and all together 5 people checked on the shape. even somebody made pictures of certain areas that i needed some reference of, which i did not have, so we were working hard on that bird. right now i am in the skinning and animation phase. 80% of the animations are done. and now i am in the animation phase of skined areas, where lights appear. animations and skinareas set to the arguments. this eats alot of time though.

@john X: you model 3d for living. hmm, to be honest, if you model for living, then you should know that for example the mig29 from tomcatz is not so bad like you call it. remember this bird only has 15k polyies. damagemodell included. and we talked over the bird too, but tomcatz is right when he says:" at some point there must be a line where to finish". and he is right. i could have made out of the f15c model a 500.000 polyies. but i cannot not, because it will not be usable anymore in the program. so take the playability in account to that, then you know what i ended up with and unfortunatly not with a 1 = 1 model, which is impossible. i have like 3 very very good blueprints here of the eagle and about 2800 pictures of that bird. so after all this research i would have easily been able to go for a 1 = 1 model, but what for? for FPS of 1 ? for sure not. i still have to use LOD models cause the bird has alot of polyies but this is how the cocky crumbles. right now i have fames at about 38fps when i have 4 eagles flying in formation and look at them from six. this is the same when there is a single. so i think it has to do with the nozzles, because i have alot of parts at each nozzle. but i think it is worth it. what i want to say actually. i do not run arround like a pitbull and tell people that thiers mods are crap, unless i see that they are not made by thier own but they say it is. then i really start to freak out :-) especially when i have evidence for that, but i guess every 3d artist can identify with my additude :-) so please, john x, try to calm down. thier is no need for so much hate. this moddercommunity is so small and we do not need fights in this community. so please please, calm down and think about your words one more time if they were reasonable. to be honest, i do not like tomcatz mig29 either, but i have seen the development and all the other mods he has started and finished, esspecially his carrier, i like it alot, but i would never ever use such hard words to tell him, this or that is not right. i just tell him that in a gentle way, cause he might have not seen it, cause when you look at a model for many many days, i do not see mistakes maybe, which i had too. so change your additute please. nobody wants to harm you, but you obviously do. and if my mod will be good or not, thats not up to my hands. the community has to decide, not me. i allways think, it could be better there and there, but i have to stop myself very often. same with skins. in lomac you do not see the beauty of the cockpit, but in renderpictures, so i ask myself, why am i pulling it that much? i hope you will understand cheers lets have a beer or 2 !

hi guys, i appologise for me not working on the eagle lately, but tomcatz is right. sometimes it is real hard to keep on working on such a project alone. thats why i was happy to have simmod. although i still worked on it alone there, i had people to talk to. about shape, some ideas of animations, what ever came to my mind. but some how this all has gone. unfortunatly!!! thats why i hope we might be able to get simmod back to life. i talked to some important people about the idea to bring back simmod, an well i am not sure how it will turn out. one thing is for sure, after i reorientated now workwise, i found a easier way to make alot of money and not invest too much time. 2 hours a day and i still have the same money like before working 8 - 10 hours. great right? i am honest, this working situation has cut alot of time away form my free time, also the squad i am flying in took alot of time away in the last weeks and month. reallife, family and some other stuff took time too, so i did not have much time for the eagle. maybe i was burned out what concidered the mod. some trouble appeared also with some skins and some animations in combination. then i asked my squad members, at least some of them fly the eagle, to test it for me. it took me more then a week to get someone moving, although they had all files. this all in combination made it hard for me to work on that baby. in addition i had some news from KARI which made me upsad and are related to that mod in some way. but i do not want to talk about that, it is way to private. one thing is promised. i will release some sort of beta in a few weeks. ahh by the way. i fly the 3go flanker too, so when i change things in the meinit.xml file the 3go stuff is allready in there :-) so it should work, i hope so at least. ps: shaggy, whats about the skinning offer ? i never really heard, yes i am oing it for sure now. or at least i heard something from you that sounded like it, but i wanted from you to know if there is anything i should do before hand ?

edit to golfsierra: please all, be patient, but it might be possible that we get simmod back to life. the only thing it is dependen on, if i will have good replies from certain people who were allways part of the team. stand by for that. the team is still there in the world, we just need a new host, and some good support from the community.

yes indeed it does help alot. i take a loock at it in the next few days. one thing i need to know. when i make lights with a tga file that blends out into black, and i make the alpha channel, i have the problem that the outer area of a light tga file blends into some black glow before it fanishes into 0 opacity. does that have to do with the engine of lomac? i saw that the lights used in lomac, are more set into a white color area. will this provide a clean blur into 0 opacity?

i do not know have not talked to him for quiet a while. sure a new home for simmod would be great, i just do not know if all the guys would come back. yeniceri is out, thats for sure, but we need a good source for the community modders, so they can talk and work on projects. i am not sure about matt wagner if he would join again the simmoders team. alot has changed over the past few month. well golfsierra, you should maybe ask the community if they want simmod back alive and if the old team would come back to some certain extend. a site cost money and time, so you might want to check on that first. i myself would love to see simmod back alife! was a great ittle community, with lots of knowledge and freindship i think.

hey guys, i need some informations on the LOD models. can anybody tell me at which distances the certain LOD stages take place? i need that for the lights and some others stuff. thanks so far if somebody can give me informations on that. a little picture for all eagle lovers. sorry for a nightshot, but i do not want to give away to much of any detail. i can only say, that i am back to work and that i am working on the AB and textures at the same time. sorry for the slow progress, but this is a one man show, unfortunatly

hmm, well i have a very nice sr71 model in my datafiles. i once worked on a blackbird for lomac, but never finalised it do to some problems of time. i do not mke such offers very often but let me see what tomcatz says about that offer. if he does not want to go for it, then we might be able to arrange things, if you like. greets just send me a pm

it is the squadsign. the squad is called "Richthoven Geschwader" named in honour of a WW1 fighter Ace of the german air force. the R stands for his name

;)

jup, it looks better now ;-)

sorry, did not have much time for the project last month. but i am back on track now

2 of them are located very close to krasnodar center and the town itself.

well thats true. we would need TWS which the su27 is capable off. a proper datalink, etc etc etc. all that comes with that beautifull bird of modern days a proper 27et ballistic flight and much more that would blow a posting by far

sorry, the old mask will be the one. i am not changing the model again.

hey alfa, your post reads like a wikipedia site. same stuff over and over again. if you guys would have a good knowledge about the su27 then you would have written: "r27ae is not avaialbe cause the russian stoped the development, cause they proceeded with integration of the r77 series on the su27. sure is, not all su27 of the russian air force are able to fire ARH but now 15 years have passed and for sure some su27 will be capable to fire ARH. most likely the front fighters which are not intended to fight at the borders of the homecountries or at the first wave in a big battle." but lets cut this here, it leads to nothing then argues about who is right and who is wrong. cheers
