Updating AI Planes

[TaktLwG 73 Steinhoff]

Hello Guys,

 

as you probably already noticed, most of the AI planes could use a "little" update, if you speak about the external model. I don't say all planes have to look like the MiG-21bis (what would be nice, but also be too much work). As a role model could be the Yak-40.

 

here's a list of planes which could use a little attention;)

 

Su-17

Su-30

Su-34

MiG-23

MiG-27

Tu-160

Tu-95MS

B-1

B-52

F-16 (A and the C Version)

 

I have to say that heavy bombers like the Tu-160, Tu-95, B-1 and B-52 are very rare to see in the game, so they don't really need a update for the external model. Planes like the Su-17/30/34/F-16 are much more often to seen in the game, so they would need it more than those bombers. (But of course i'd like to see a strike of a Tu-160;):D)

 

What do you mean?

 

Some screenshots :)

Planes are getting updated but it takes time and money..

I would love to see the C-17 get an update.

you can check here the actual 3D model in progress to update by ED and 3rd parties.

But I like them so much.

I have them in my own fool-around-n-test-stuff mission.

 

I'd be great to see more than a couple of those "death animations", more dramatic nosedives, smoke, impact, explosion, collision etc

I think it's already on the 'long list for ED to sort out' I too think these do definitely need updating, but I think to the same standard - I'd say the standard for at least AI models probably sits nicely at the Su-24, yes it takes time, yes it takes resources. But hopefully soon we'll see more models get updated, to at least (my hope anyway) as the same standard as the Su-24

Same for many others, some look really bad.

Agreed, it would be great if everything that's from the older LOMAC, FC1, FC2 etc should be updated, it's a slow process but eventually, they'll get done

I wonder...

Maybe if somebody is really great in doing textures it might be possible to make them look better, even with the old not very detailed 3Dmodels.

 

But then the question is whether it would be worth if if ED updates the models a bit later.

If we only knew what ED is working on...

I'd like to see some new ai planes if possible. Like maybe a T-39 or an F-8. Sure may not be flyable, but its a start.

I would love to actually be able to completely see the numbering on the nose of the MiG-23.

I understand its all about priorities, but some of the old AI models could really do with some love. The B-52, for example, looks like it is made of lego

That's an insult to Lego :lol:

 

On a more serious note I've seen far better looking aircraft on Strike Fighters 2 which hasn't seen a major graphics update since 2008.

 

Grumbling aside, ED is certainly making progress with updating the 3D models of weaponry, there are still a few to go on the list but it's getting there :D
