a better cloud model, like we can see it in FSX, for example. that would make the experiance of flying more real, at least it would feel that way ;-)

leafer you are a funny dude, belive me, your additute is the first thing that will kill you in a dogfight, cause you underdetermine the opponent :doh:

well that only works when you make a new 3d model :-) cheers

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

nozzles are allready done, thanks for the picture anyway :-) greets boomer

well the nozzle you see there has a total of 148 objects, and about 5600 polyies. all over the eagle has without its maingear 46k - 47k polyies right now. SKF is right when he says, who can handle the a-10 should be able to handle the eagle as well. most of the fps hits come with to big textures, something like 4048 x 4048 px. that would really **** up normal pc´s to the detail level, well it could go way higher then that what you see, so high that you cannot make a diffrence between real or copm, but no pc´s would be able to use such models in a game right now, that would defenatly blow every normal graka

what could that be? this is the only picture of the eagle for the moment :-) do not be upset, but please be paitent, we are finishing the 3d model right now, then we get to the wrapping and animation part

yes

well i had that some times too but offline without crosswind. suddenly some day i never had that again. i assume it had to do with some mod i used 2 years ago but i do not know which one. sorry, no real help from me :-(

but you have to, sorry :-)

hi guys. ok pictures, hmm. i promise that you guys get the picture of the approven model. right now i wrote SKF to get the team read and all toghter cause in the middle of the upcoming week i will provide them a whole bunch of pictures and to check the model if it is approven or if there are some little things that should be changed. after that i guess SKF can post some screens of the approven model. right now i am working on the nozzles. adjust them, cut them, to make them ready for the animation part, prethinking :-), and when that is done i get to the maingear. when that is done i am very very close to the final model. in the end i only have to adjust the gun and put the barrels in together with very little details on the model. right now i sometimes have to think about the comperrison to the real f-15, and i believe when the skins are done, damn, this bird, probably will even let the su25t look ugly. but thats only an opinion ;-)

so guys, new update. i am of university, holidays, for the next 3 weeks. i try to finish the 3d modell in that time, and then i guess the next phase starts. so stay tuned

and again, simmod rocked the place here. many many thanks to rocky :-)

i like the 104th, but one little thing, they should change the mission again. now it is the same mission for month. when they started the mission was changed after 1 month, and that made it interesting to fly so nobody would know exactly the hideout points and where the surface to air stands. maybe some more groundtarget, like a few tanks or maybe 2 or 3 assigned bunkers on each side, as target would give the gorundies some more opportunities

well kula, when you can get them, you might want to provide them ED ? well the f-15e is in comparrison to the f-15c, changed to 70%. it is true, that it looks like an eagle, but to be honest, it is a complete diffrent plane.

well military sims, are way diffrent then the commercial once, so there in the military, you get the data you need from the coustomer. no guessing, no nothing. you get what you need. they want a real sim, then they provide you with data, the only thing you have to assure is the secret about the data you got. but well, the stirke eagle would be one thing, that i would love to see too. and by the way, who says, that the kamov they have in dcs is not classified ? i bet it is still, like every military vehicle is. most of us will never know what the eagle is capable (albino) of in real life, some LOL :-) so there is alot that ED will never get, like missle data, ecm data, avionics data, etc. what ED never managed to model for the f-15c, is the datalink, which gives the pilots, to have only one radar search for example, and provide the radar data too all the other flight members.not just that, the f-15 has a well sofisticated datalink, which can interact with any nato plane, and also awacs, like the su27 and mig do in lockon. so this is just one thing, that is not top secret, but what they never managed to establish. there are many doubts on my side, that classified planes are such an issue for game developers. maybe they should have a look at the sims that allready deal with these topics, and compare them to what could be real, what is real in official means, and what could be things the planes might have. ahh by the way, the ecm strobes of friendlies, are not picked up by radar, cause the radar knows the bandwith they work with, and which frequencies the have in thier system locked in, as memory. so please guys, do not say, it is not possible. just say the truth, it is hell of alot of work, and costs alot of money, in research, development etc. thats where the manager steps in, and says, hold on there guys, this is not worth it. thats how the real cockie crumbles, nothing else

hey guys, ireally do not wnat to tell you guys what you have to do, but, one thing you should take into conciderations with the carrier. the antennas at the front , where the catapults are, have to be removed, cause when planes take off the are not extended :-) just saw them on the screens

well i want the fast movers like hell, but what will be intersting is to fly an apache or kamov too, although i prefer the ah-64, which is the only reason for me, to buy BS before the fast movers come to life. the su27 is a beautiful plane, which would be my favourite, when we talk about the eastern planes. how i allready said, the strike eagle with a 2 seated cockpit, and the f-18 as carrierbased plane would be really great to have, cause both are mulitrole airplanes, which makes it interesting to fly, cause you do not need to fly only airto ground or only ait to air. with these planes you can built missions and campaigns in which you can include both parts.

you can use GBUs but you have to assign the targets, so that you have a target box in the hud. then you choose the GBU fly close enough and drop it. it should hit the target when you have been close enough to the target. i do not know the range though, sorry

well i would like to see the f-15e, cause since f-15 from janes, there was no sim that had the abilities to use such a well sofisticated system that could go air to groundwith pressiosion guided weapons like the strike eagle. in thesame time the strike can go air to air. also i would like to have the albino, cause it is only air to air. actually all the planes that we have in lockon right now plus the strike eagle and a carrier operator for the western, which would be the f-18

nope not now. :-) we have some, but they are right now only for the tester team, sorry. we will not post anything that has not been approved :-) we have some sort of a plan and we will stick to it

well i would like to link it to the stairs, which i want to remove, cause it is not realistic that the stairs come up by gods hand :-) this way we still have the animation of the visor at the same time the canopy comes down and we can still eject with the visor down

one thing i guess is, do to the contract, we will have to wait for black shark even longer, same happend when they got the contract for the a-10 sim

well the nose, yes thats one thing that makes the eagle look right. the visor, well right now it is down, but there will be an animation linked to the canopy movement but when it is done you will see for yourself what animations we have done in the end :-) here is one picture, right now it is supposed to be that way :- )

hmm, the only reason why you clud become a tester is, you are a darn good modeller and ask them if you can do some stuff for them, for free. that would be some way, but not even i tried it, so stop dreaming, there is no way, unfortunatly, but first let black shark appear on the market
