Visuals that could be better

[Fox One]

The drag chute canopy is huge and it has too many rings. The lines and attaching cable proportions are completely off.

Pilot seems to be too small.

From the buglist thread:

 

Breakshute door looks way too illuminated by AB

This is not necessarily F-5E -specific. In the attached image the pictures have been scaled so the missile body diameter matches the screenshot. It is obvious that canards on the sim model are GIGANTIC. I made some measurements and canards span is approx. 1.5 times bigger than it should!!!

 

Also about tail wing. Sidewinders have two types of tail wings:

B, E, J, N, P - small tail wings

D, G, H, L, M - big tail wings

 

As you can see in the image, tail wing span is too big and the wings are too long. Probably modeler took the AIM-9M model and just changed the nose and canards.

I forgot to mention when I posted that screenshot that the end piece of the arrestor hook also gets the same illumination.

^^^ BST isn't "required" anything, I'm just pointing out visuals that are demonstrably inaccurate. If BST would do anything about it is up to them.

I'd be cautious about claiming things are "demonstrably inaccurate" when referring the accuracy of a 3D model like this. Especially when your evidence is comparing a screenshot to a photograph. There's too much opportunity for distortion and optical illusions to make this an accurate method.

^^^ What you're saying is true when claiming something is like 5% too small or too big. The errors in % in all my examples above are much bigger and are obvious to the naked eye, really no need for parallax calculation.

The illumination thingy is an engine "problem" and has nothing to with the module.

Maybe the door is highly polished and its reflecting the AB,,,, reduce power to say, 80% and see if the illumination is there.

The cowling of the engines is not occluding the lighting effect. As someone else mentioned this is a engine issue and how it deals with lighting of models (or someone hasn't flagged the cowling properly in the model)

Correct, Some Light Sources currently pass through close and/or small object meshes.

My biggest visual gripes right now are the pilot being too small and the engine smoke seems excessive.. like, sure.. the F-5E is smokey.. but it looks like the damn thing has an engine fire lol

 

yes, not everyone the same size etc blah blah yadda yadda. still... pilot looks to not be in proportion to me, admittedly only slightly.
