Merker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Will there be a JSGME option for those of us who run that? It's been awhile since I used JSGME, but I would assume that it will. Former A-4E-C 3D Artist Logo Credit to Plusnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merker Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) November 2018 Update – Are we there yet? November 2018 Update – Are we there yet? So here we are, November 2018. It’s pretty incredible that this may be our final monthly update isn’t it? Nearly three years ago we set out on this journey after a simple conversation over a reddit post. We’ve been through a lot, no doubt, and yet here we are on the cusp of victory. I guess this is the part where we’re supposed to give you some sort of release date, right? For now I can say that mid to late November is our target timeframe and we are very confident about that fact. Why no exact date? Well, the fact of the matter is that we’d still like some flexibility without disappointing anyone. Never fear, we truly hope to see you all flying this around Thanksgiving. This past month we’ve made a lot of progress, and following two marathon streams last weekend, we’re virtually finished the 3d elements, including UV unwrap. This month saw a great deal of final pieces coming together, with our external lights being completed and the internal lights being nearly complete. Plusnine has also been very hard at work creating an original menu theme for us! We'll talk about that more closer to release. Here’s a recap of the work from our Mid-October Update: Instrument Backlighting Exterior Lighting Royal New Zealand Air Force livery Another angle In addition to finishing our work, we’ve been busy making videos and being interviewed on an up and coming podcast known as Alert 5. Be sure to check out our hour-long interview with them at the link below. I also dropped another video, which may be my last before launch as I continue to throw my free time into completing all my remaining work on the mod itself. For now, please enjoy this short video on Air-to-Air operations in the A-4! Alert 5 Podcast - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-alert-5-podcast/id1438547222?mt=2 Code-wise we’re ready with a single function left to be implemented. Our remaining polish comes in the 2D department, which Plusnine is dutifully working to ensure work he can be proud of when all is said and done. We’ve learned over the past two years that slow and steady truly does win the race, and in retrospect, there are definitely corners I now regret cutting in the unwrap department. For those looking to get into the mod dev game, a rule to live by is patience and persistence. Moving forward, I’ll be trying to stream more often over the weekends. Be sure to follow myself and Plusnine on twitch to get notifications when we stream our development process. If you want to check out my streams last weekend, check out the links below. So with that, I’ll close this update by once again thanking everyone for their support. We’re truly grateful for all your kind words over the past two and a half years. I look forward to my next big update, which will come in the form of a new forum thread for the release of our mod. Because our late friend Gos owned this thread, I can’t edit the start of it, and will thus create a new thread with a full FAQ and download location when we release. See you in a few weeks! :D Edited November 2, 2018 by Merker Former A-4E-C 3D Artist Logo Credit to Plusnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canned_fire Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Thanks for the A-4! In preparation/antecipation I was reading the A-4 Natops. My understanding is that it says you should mantain 600 ft through the 90 up until intercepting the glide slope still at 600 ft (carrier landing). I am correct? If so why the difference to the F-18 which (my understanding) you should intercept the glides slope at around 300 ft. Does anybody know why the difference? What explains it? Old thechnology? no Hud? Back in the 70s that how it was? Any clues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron886 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can you post the diagram? I'm pretty sure you're just reading it wrong, the CV landing pattern has been pretty standardized for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch75 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Maybe due to the older engines requiring longer spool up time so a higher altitude buffer (minima) was in place for a larger safety margin. Just an educated guess.

Merker Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) I honestly have no idea why there's a difference. If anyone knows, please do tell! Speaking of landing patterns, development on the Oriskany continues at a slow but steady pace. With 98% of all my A-4 work complete, I've had some time to get back to modelling. Here's a screen cap of what I've got going on while doing some tests with the model and code. A lot of modelling work still to come, but I'm very happy with it so far. Keep in mind that these are all placeholder textures. The past two years have seen a lot of improvement in my modelling skills and workflow. I was blown away by the Heatblur Forrestal shots, along with the new Stennis model, so I've greatly increased the scope of detail I want to add to this thing. I'll be writing another blog post after the A-4s release, along with starting a new forum thread, which will detail my recent progress and goals of this new project. My current view is that its going to be much more than just this ship, but I'll leave that for another time ;) Edited November 7, 2018 by Merker Former A-4E-C 3D Artist Logo Credit to Plusnine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron886 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 canned_fire - It's just the way the diagram is drawn, indicating that the descent begins off the 180. It's not a particularly precise diagram. It was flown the same way as it is today. Thanks for taking the time to post the image though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoNidle Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I hope the skin template won't be far behind its release. As a big fan of "Heineman's hot rod" I'm looking forward to having a go at some of the great schemes for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey45 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Both are looking awesome. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
