uhh, any specific area, you are funny :-) i would have to sort all my pictures to be able to tell you which i do not have or which i do have. that alone might take a week till i am done :-) maybe you can put some in that you think might be important or so. maybe anybody of you guys has a link to a page where i can find detail pictures of the bird. important are just as example the nozzles, all the antennas and everyxthing that you can imagine. very important is, thats a fact, the whole cockpit, also with the area behind the seat. i will only model the body of the f-15, cause a cockpit is allready there lol

hi guys yes i would love to get all the material from you guys that is available. i myself have an eagle pilot in my family, but it is hard to get in contact with him and well i don´t want him to risk his job in any way. i allready have maybe 1000 pictures of the eagles but maybe you guys have some i do not have allready. what i do not have are detailed wlak arounds of the bird, most of the pictures are action pics, also some of them taken by me, when i visited the RAF Lakenheath in summer 2006 which was a kick ass trip. even one low level pass over the base, unfortunatly i had no cam at that moment and i only have the bird passing with fully ab in my mind, otherwise i would have posted them for you. why i also would love to get pictures from you guys, i like to involve the community into project as far as it is possible, cause i am not only making the birds for me ;-) maybe you can upload them on rapidshare as zip file and send or post the links so we do not spam the forum or threats to much ? :-)

sure i will, a few little things still need to be done though, little details and so on. well a pit is done for the basic model and will be finished with skins in the end. i hope to realise a 3d cockpit cause all the amatures are analog and the agruments for hem are free and not hardcoded ok, guys lets see how lomg it will take. as side project i started yesterday to prepare the f-15c, the documents and all the rest that is needed before modelling. i am off university over the christmas time and i guess i will start with my f-15 which is way easier and does not have such a complicated buddy ok greetings borchi

so here we go again, just finished the wheels today and only the pilots and the last 2 windows are missing, then i can start to animate 4 more pictures for you guys

here we go guys. a little update. unfortunatly some other project in my university took all my time so that the whole bird is going to be delayed. sorry but good news is, that only wheels and the pilots have to be done, then the bird is ready for animations here we go with some pictures of the actual status

hehe, lol, i could understand 3 out of all the languages that are posted on that last page. funny, but well lets not spam this threat and keep writing important stuff, and please in english so that everybody can read and understand it. ok guys , last from me schweine im weltall hogs in space

it is a nice model, which flightmodel do you use, the su25t ? ok i wish you all the best with the model and keep up with that work, it will for sure meet somebodys requierments and i guess it will be seen at some virtualsquad video greetings borchi_2b

ok thanks, i used the translate page :-) so guys are working on a f-15e strike eagle. well well, i know the bird myself very very well, friends of mine are stationed in england, so i will have a lock at the model very close, when the first pictures are released. i hope the guys do not forget all the important details, that make the beagle to what it is :-) ok, but for now, the tornado looked very nice,

so i donґt know russian, whats that abot the f-15e? can you maybe write that in english once again? thanks

hi raven, i believe it will not be possible to bring the gunship to life. to built a model is not that difficult cause it is a easy planeshape, but the flightcharacteristics of the attackflight will probably not change cause the programmer have created certain ways of attackflights. i guess they never thought about a circularflightpath as an attackrun but you could try to arm the c-130 and test if it will do anything at all before we could think about modelling something. well lets talk about it when we are both back in ts on the next flightshifts we are on duty :-)

will the mod also work when i use only the medium grafic settings?

i have already managed to put all the wires on the front gear, so only the wheels are left, then i can go and start with the rear gear or i will make them before making any wheels. thats how they do it in real life too:-) next pictures will come probably next week :-) and how predicted, the gear is taking a lot of polys. with the detail i have added after putting the pictures in the forum, the bird has about 12200 polys, and i know that in the end, without pilots, i will end up at 18000 to 20000 polys, so thats how the cuckie crumbles

ok guys, little update for the black beauty :-) first i have to thank superkungfu and nesher and all the others for the pictures. keep up the information flow, it helps for sure :-) here the pictures of the frontgear what it looks right now after 5 hours modelling after school, had nothing to do today :-) i hope you like it. it is not done yet but it will soon, i will not model everything of the gear cause in the end it will kill the fps so i only make the most important hope you guys are not disappointed ;-) greetings borchi_2b

but i think it would be fair for the international communty to speak english cause that is what we normaly all understand. i could also write things in german or in italan, but do I ?

cool would be when you would edit the soundfile of the a-10 gun, just a little idea :-)

hehe superkungfu, my cousin flew the albino (f-15c) unfortunatly i cannot get any detail picture of his yet anymore, cause he is not an active pilot, to old now :-) well, i will go high poly for that f-15, very high details, and so on, cause it is my personal favour, and i guess the sentence on top will explain. but i guess the community will have to wait a while. 2008 is sure for a realise date :-) with the words of ed, we do not know when but soon :-) maybe i start with the first basics of the fuselage on the we or next week will see, cause i need to see something else instead of the BB all the time. nothing against it, it is a nice project, but it is sooooo long. i know the f-15 will take long too, but it is more usable then the BB. ahh by the way, the BB was actually only thought to be a testproject, not more, in advance to a B-2 spirit, that could replace the f-117

well maybe rick is able to explain it how he makes that ? i hope so i guess the BB will be something for videos, so i made my mind up for the f-15c as next project

thanks alot, it will help unfortunatly i have no clue how we should solve the problem with the ab, well, maybe there will be some way

@nesher, first thanks for the pictures, i allready have some of them but not all, so it will add up to a big pile of pics. the engine house is not done yet. the nozzles are still missing so they lock to short but thanks for the reminder of the fact that thes still have to be done, they are still on my to do list. geardoors are done, next will be the nozzles, the gear and the pilot

@nesher: well it would be great to get more detail pictures of the BB. here i post some of the actual status of the model and of which areas i need some material: so who is able to help just do it

damn, cause i would have liked to give my blckbird the right burners. unfortunatly no model in lockon hs any similar burners, so what should i do?

@pa-skippy: so it would be possible to make my own afterburner and make the original once transparent so they don´t show up. hmm, but when i make the ab transparent of the modell that i lay my model over, all the other planes will have a transparent burner too? plese can you explain more about it?

sweet as model, yeah, the hog goes up to my favourites to download. hmm, about the dm, i will probably have to pm you cause that is what i have no clue about yet. unwrap and animations is clear to me now, but the dm and an own cockpit for the BB, well but that takes time

well, i found pictures of the flaps where the BB only had a grill where the flaps where located on other models. i would like to add the flaps instead cause it would be a cool lock when it opens on full throttle. the problem was when i tested it, that the model itself had some damage when i created them so i have to figure a way to built it in a way that it works just fine maybe yeniceri or grandsurf can help out, have to see now i will have to mke the nozzles and afterwords the gear at the end the pilots and then chrink the model to th right size before i can export the model into 3d max 8 and make the animations to get the bird into the game for the first time well thanks nesher for your pictures they will help alot. i hope you did not have to go to the carrier just for the fotos

little update, got the wings fixed and also got the gearboxes done in addition with the front and rear geardoors. so now the nozzles are next together with the gear. only the pilot is left then. i figured out that when you go full throttle with the BB that it has flaps the suck additional air into the fan, which are lokated a the front of the engines. do you guys want them too? greetigs borchi p.s.: i have not posted any pictures cause nothing of a great visual effect has changed to much maybe at the end of this week i get some nice once for you folks
