Release: Better AIM-7 and AIM-120 with clipped fins

[walmis]

I originally made these models for falcon4:AF, and i recently discovered that ed released an exporter (wise choice), so i decided to export them to lockon, and here's the result:

 

 

Package created with modman.

*UPDATE 1.01*Download

 

To complete installation add

common = ".\\Bazar\\World\\walmisWeapons.cdds";

to "TextureCollections" sections in config/graphics.cfg

[knellknell]

May i put a link to this post in http://www.lockon-models.com ?

[walmis]

yes, sure

[Pilotasso]

Gj, rep imbound. Be advised that ED plans to do their own new models for 1.2BS

For the AIM-120C, yes. The Sparrow will continue to be a most welcome addition :)

[Pilotasso]

BTW, bug report: :D

 

The AMRAAM is wronlgy placed on the underwing pylons. It should be rotated 45º on its axis like the AIM-9 because the fins are burried into the pylon and into the wing.

[walmis]

ah yes, figured it out, gonna fix it soon.

[MAFIA]

I will soon realise two models: X-15C and M-117. I only need to finish textures. Models, i think, rather good, but ED said, that they don't need these models because weapons are too old.

walmis,

Thanks for sharing the nice models.

 

But, your AIM-7 model looks a little fat to me.

Please check these pages.

[walmis]

[walmis]

[hitman]

A different version?

 

BTW TEka is there an up to date site describing the AA caabilities of the Japanese F-2 fighter?

 

I consulted hundreds of sites but all of them are have outdated info, saying a BVR missile (on the sparrow calss) "is being developed" stated as was back in mid nineties. Has that plane ever been see with such load?

[walmis]

Those missiles are HUGE.

 

actually they are quite accurate.

aim-120 length is 3.66m, and diameter is 0.182m

aim-7 len 3.64m, diameter 0.2m

 

these values are from measure utility in 3ds max

I only know Japanese Wikipedia page.

http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-2_%28%E6%94%AF%E6%8F%B4%E6%88%A6%E9%97%98%E6%A9%9F%29

 

F-2 can carry AIM-7, AIM-9 and AAM-3 (Japanese version of AIM-9) right now. They are testing AAM-4 (Japanese version of AIM-120) and will send it in service in a few years. They say AAM-4 has better range and tracking capability compared to AIM-120 or AA-12.:unsure: AAM-5 (Japanese AIM-9X) might be in service in the near future, too.

Very good! Thank you for your efforts.

 

And another question. May I mirror it on my site?

I dont know metrics that well (Hello America, how are you), but translated, them missiles look extremely large for the F-15, barely even fit from the looks of it. What version of the AIM-7 did you reproduce?

[hitman]

Why an X-plane? You making the model for another simulator?

[some1]

I don't find them too big in game, although that was my first impression when I saw the screenshots from the first post.

 

This is the original AIM-7:

 

And that's the new one, 1.01 version:

 

Walmis, great work! :thumbup:

He probably meant Kh-15S in English (AS-16 'Kickback')

[Pilotasso]

^^^^ thats strange you dont have the clipped AMRAAM wich should be in the 2nd pic as well.

[walmis]

http://bvr.jpn.org/lockon/index_e.html

yea sure.

Exact measurments are here

http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/missile/aim-7.htm

 

Length 12 feet (3.64 meters)

Diameter 8 inches (0.20 meters)

 

@some1

as pilotasso said, your clipped amraam is missing :huh:

[some1]

^^^^ thats strange you dont have the clipped AMRAAM wich should be in the 2nd pic as well.

 

Nothing strange, I've installed only Sparrow at that time. (manually) :music_whistling:

[walmis]

Almost finished making 9M38M1 missile for BUK.

 

:drink:

[Spad]

Err...

 

Why are you doing a clipped wing AIM-120?

 

That missile is for the F/A-22A Raptor. Possibly the F-35 Lightning II aswell.....

 

Fair enough it can be fired by all aircraft that are amraam capable. Just seems a waste of time when u could put your talents to something else......and u HAVE SOME TALENT!!!
