Hi all, well...I sent all my max files and datas up to Andrew. At last time I switch ba´ck to the Eurofighter project after I corrected many mistakes in Mig29`s construction. So I uploaded all stoff into these adress: http://www.fileuploadx.de/205100 Rave´n made a MODMAN- file but couldn`t test it: http://www.fileuploadx.de/882188 My best wishes, TOM

Hello, ...I was a little bit angry about myself and to directly. So all I can say is sorry. I looked about Stalkers pictures and compared it with my mig and I started to become confuse. So I loaded all my HighRes.blueprints into my 3Dprogram and pulled it over my model. And damm- I started to build the fuselage with absolutly right sizes and many sizes went to hell. Stalker was absolutly right about the nose section, conopy, nozzles and airleron. I fixed some of these parts- primary nozzles, intakes, canopy and nose section. Now the overall look is an complete another one as before. I was really confused. Them I found the reason for many mistakes- I use different blueprints and not all of them are correct. My biggest problems I had was to correct the intakes. I`ll send some pics if I go online next weekend. Thistime my wife had the fantastic idea to paint our flat and buy IKEA-funitures.:) However, I missunderstud a message- I`m sorry. As I sad: Many specialists and even more symphatic people here, My best wishes, TOM

Yes, its hard to correct ALL mistakes in some days. On the left hand site its hard to do all what a complete team did alone. On the right hand site its allways simple to show hundreds of little mistakes at every model! Well, I`m not a proffesional designer who studyed hundreds of different programms. So I`m happy about every helpings -not angry words- thats my reason why I use these forum! Many good builders and symphatic people here. A really perfect higly polygoned model?! Sure- simple while using thousends of polygons! I`ll curioso how does it work in Online-sessions! Anybody wan`t to have a correct model? You can use these nice one: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/mig-29-mig29-3ds/230786 By the way: Why you present me Mig29S pics? However, I`m sure I missunderstud many things.

Hello. 3GO standard? :cry: Maybe...I touch these skill in 600years or more. Well, I learned much stoff the last weeks course the comunity helped me very well. So I have to get more experience. Anyways, Thank you all for the great support. Greetings, TOM

Hello, Thank you very much. Its allways good to hear seriously critic. So well, LOMAC was able to create very good models without using too much polys over all. Its hard to make it much better- sure, able if somebody use more them 50.000 polys. The problem is that my model should be online-playable. I`m happy about my results? Oh yes- It looks "rounder" as before, have better arguments and a better damage model. ..and - juhuu:)- its online playable. Okay- my screnshots are a little bit poor without anti aliasing. I like it well. So I´m not worry- everybody have his opinion and it`s fair to talk about every position.:thumbup: So my best wishes, TOM

Hello, I worked with an LOD last week and some more skins. And yes. we should create many slots for different shemes. Template is ready:smilewink: Don`t know if my Mig looks better as LOMACs but I like it well:pilotfly: Here I have some Shots about last tests:

Hello Vekkinho, yes, if you switch the camo in editor, all antennas switch to version mig-29AS- including IFF antennas. Its a couple with argument 70. I really don`t know wich camos I will create- Primary all airforces wich not present in LOMAC- I dream about a Ungarian, Polish, DDR and Iraqian Mig-29 corse there are 10 different russian and 3 ukrainian shemes in LOMAC but KNAAPO has even more partners around the world. I search for nice and inovative and modern shemes- I know. there are a lot of stoff about that- not easy but well. Nice to know: 20.109 triangles right know- Think it´s a good level for a new model including damage model and markings. Thanks for the link to SVK Fox. The problem is- that I use complete new textures- not the LOMAC-textures. But Everybody who can help me with textures is very welcome. :smilewink: My best wishes to all, TOM

Thank you- Cpt.Stark. It works! I can`t belive it. Here: Slovanian Mig29 (skin in work) @Vekkinho- Thanks again- Yes youre right. 3degrees only for nozzles. Thank for all support- Can`t say that enough CU, TOM

Hello guys! Thank you for all photos, pics, helping and correctings. I corrected many thinks at fuselage and wings. Flaredispanser, Edges sharp as a knife, round edge near cockpit- Thank you all. Need more infos!:thumbup:

Dear Vekkinho, many thanks for your help and I think, we should do that! Overall: The support of the comunity is GREAT! :thumbup: TOM

Thank you. Yes, the Fulcrum have a very complex and difficult fuselage with much details. Vekkinho- thank you for your pretty nice photos you`ve sent. I´ll correct it. Hope my wireframe will agree with it. Best wishes, TOM

Thank you very much. I`ll test it and hope that I find my mistake. Think I should start with "models". Thank you very much.

Hello, I need help. Really. I don`t know how I can use more them one coloursheme. I really don`t know where my failure is. Is someone out there who can help me please? This is my "mig-29.skin" file I wrote.... argument { argument = 70; skin { value = 0.0; material = {"Cockpit", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.1.0.BMP"}; material = {"Trümmer2", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.1.0.BMP"}; material = {"RightWing", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"LeftWing", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"HöhenleitwerkRechts", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"HöhenleitwerkLinks", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"LeftStab", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"RightStab", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 1.0.BMP"}; material = {"Bremse", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.1.0.BMP"}; } skin { value = 0.1; material = {"Cockpit", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.2.0.BMP"}; material = {"Trümmer2", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.2.0.BMP"}; material = {"RightWing", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"LeftWing", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"HöhenleitwerkRechts", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"HöhenleitwerkLinks", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"LeftStab", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"RightStab", "standart", "WrappingMig29 Seite2 V 2.0.BMP"}; material = {"Bremse", "standart", "WrappingMig29 V.2.0.BMP"}; } } Thread about latest news Mig-29: http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.msg4661#new Many thanks for all helpings, best wishes,TOM

Hello, yes- all works fine. Seat hold pilot and press it out after falling under 5000 metres. The arguments are all hardcoded but if you argument it like above post, it will work.:) Greetings, TOM

Hi, I realised that noone have the argument numbers for the ejection sequence. First is "pilot+k36.cmd" argument 0 : pilot leave seat 0-1 (means pilot scale down to "away" cause not possible to delete parts in an argumentation) argument 1 : stabiltisation parashute on 0-15 Second "pilot_parashute.cmd" argument 1 : parashute opens 0-10 last shold be "parash.lom" If you replace it with an new model you will get pretty nice results and an good ejection sequence. It should be a nice info for all modders. Latest updates you will find here http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.msg4241#new Its an German forum but you always can post in english. Otherwise here, of course. My best wishes, TOM

Thank you very well. Well I used around 18.000Polys for all. It should be the same level as the LOMAC-Fighters. The Textures count same as LockOn. Two 2048x2048 textures for all. In the past I was very confused about some models with more them 100.000Polys. Okay- looks great in Max and with an LOD model its possible. But I think it`s very importent that you can use the models online. I downloaded a Su-27 (dont know who builded it-not 3Go) , beautiful work but after I loaded a mission with four Flankers my frame rate broke down to 1 per second. So it wasn`t playable. Arround 240.000 triangles per Flanker- whou! Wich hell pc can handle this load of work? And I`m not able to buy every year a new computer because I`m married and my wife needs all my money:cry:. Best greetings, TOM

Hey, nice idea. I came from EasternGermany-Rostoc´k. Rostock-Laage was the last station for the German Fulcrums before they saled to Poland. Think it should be possible without any wild hacks. The maintain problem is that I´m not a good designer so I hope that is anyone out there who have more experience in 3D-art. Think I need some years more to learn more about stoff like that. Don`t know....What do you think about that: As I sad- LOMAC designers made a perfect job and it isn`t easy to build it better without using more polys as LOMACs Migs. Greetings, TOM (PS: Link:http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.msg3731#new )

oh...ups. Dammed right. Theres a mig-27 in LOMAC- I forgot:huh:. Well- It should be a little mistake. Anyways...New Mig 27 or 23 would be pretty nice I think. Greetings, TOM

Hi Yeniceri, thank you very well. Well- not so nice as yours but for me... think a good step:). Mig-27?! Great Idea. So its possible to replace the Su-22 for examble. It should be a nice model- I like the main gear construction well:pilotfly: My best wishes TOM

Thank you all very much. Thank you:smilewink: Well , think I`ll need some month for good textures. Latest pics here: http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.msg2701#new Anyways: The LOMAC-Mig29 is a very good model and genius constructed. I think, thats the main reason why nobody started an approach to remodel it. I like it well and I`m not able to build it better. For me, my work is a little tribiute to LockOn-ModernAirCombat only- nothing more. Something to carrie my skill level some little points higher... hope so. My best wishes, TOM

Hi, thank you all very much. @VireVolte_tigrou: I really hope I can touch Colas or your amazing high level one day. The Eurofighter and the Gripen are an very big inspiration:thumbup:. Marry X-mas and peace for all the people, TOM

Thanks all. Yeah- there could be much things possible if one 3D-file will be finished. Anyways, I`ll upload all Mig-pics to these adress: http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.0#new If you want to reply, you can write in your language. German, French, Russian...dosent matter:) Best wishes, TOM

Hello: http://www.modern-air-combat.de/index.php?topic=791.0#new Best wishes TOM

Great job- love it:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

We work on it.....give us some time, please. Think it will be a good Mod. Best wishes, TOM
