Pilotasso Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 yes. I think there will be a stand alone installation file with everything updated later. .
Shotsx74 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Walmis if you are still looking to do the canopy hydros i believe 85 had some good pics i think on page 34 or 35 as well as some well before that one. Not sure if you still wanted to do that.
walmis Posted November 23, 2006 Author Posted November 23, 2006 Ok just to clarify; to get this update all I have to do is run the F 15 update exe and it will do everything for me? yes
SuperKungFu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hey walmis, I just wanted to say thanks again for listening to me and improving the nose and canopy. It looks a lot more realistic now! Cheers. However, it’s strange even though we did compare it to the layout and it matched perfectly, the real F-15’s has a “hump” on the tip of the nose as seen here. Whereas your model is mainly downhill slope as indicated on the layout, so I guess the layout was a little off. Almost every F-15 pic I looked at has this beautiful shape curve. IMHO, I think adding 1 or 2 poly for that small curve will increase the outlook by a lot, does anyone agree with me? While I’m on that subject, does anyone else have an accurate F-15 layout other than the one on airwar so we can make some more comparisons? Other than that, this model is freakin awesome. I hope in the future we can see some more details added here and there like this little antenna [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
f-16fighting.falcon Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Thank you Walmis for great job!:smilewink:You are our LoFC hero.:thumbup:

SuperKungFu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Walmis, you also said you wanted to model the hydraulic arm that attaches to the canopy. This is your current model. Looks like you have to cut the entire flat surface in order to move with the canopy as it does in the real F-15 like this Edit: As for your model, just model the hydraulic arm at the back. As the others have said, the big red one is placed there if the canopy is opened for a long time to reduce stress. For more pic just look at the site provided by Deadman and A.J. eight five http://photo.163.com/photos/he3hai/15887476/380707842/ Maybe also model those small mirrors on the canopy. Hope this helps and I hope you have a nice thanksgiving! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
superserb Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Many thanks, Walmis. For me, work like a charm. Keep up the good work, and I hope we see F-15E any time soon. :thumbup: " WE SALUTE YOU" !!! BTW...Little devil face just for you and LOMAC fans! 1
Cosmonaut Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Once again a flawless update :) Hey did the canopy color change? It seems to be completely clear .. not a problem it looks great either way. Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. CDDS Tutorial Version 3. | Main Screen Mods.
SuperKungFu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 It doesn't look like it changed. btw...what kind of material did you use to make the canopy glass walmis? It’s awesome but is it possible to make it a little more transparent/lighter. So it doesn’t stand out as much under certain light like dawn or dusk?- just a thought. Other than that this model is nearing its fully completed status, maybe model some of the interior like radar under the cone or electronics on the side panel so when the plane gets damaged you can see it. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Matze81 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hi SuperKungFu! I think there are two hydraulic arm, one at the far back like as shown on this site provided by Deadman and A.J. eight five http://photo.163.com/photos/he3hai/15887476/380707842/ And the other is (I assume) the main arm which is usually red sitting right behind the pilot seat. As far as I know, the red arm right behind the seat is just a support strut, that is put in to reduce the stress on the hydraulic arm (the one in the back) when the canopy is open for a longer period of time. Other than that I agree with you a 100%! Already your suggestions about the nose and canopy shapes where right on! :thumbup: Edit: I think walmis did model the radar under the nose radom already. At least I thought I saw it yesterday. By the way, thank you Walmis for the beautiful Eagle and the continuing updates!

At least I thought I saw it yesterday. By the way, thank you Walmis for the beautiful Eagle and the continuing updates! You are exactly correct. The red strut is a support member to take stress off of the hydrolic piston. If you go to Patricks Aviation, videos, and then look for "Ground opperations ar McGuire" you'll see it is removed almost immediately before the canopy is lowered.
PythonOne Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 You notice this too? Yea that little curve is a must! I just came over from the ubi forum, I'm glad to see this group is a lot more intelligent. :smartass: This makes me want to fly the eagle a lot more, thanks. Walmis, you are the MAN! Hey walmis, I just wanted to say thanks again for listening to me and improving the nose and canopy. It looks a lot more realistic now! Cheers. However, it’s strange even though we did compare it to the layout and it matched perfectly, the real F-15’s has a “hump” on the tip of the nose as seen here.

Vekkinho Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Just a small suggestion. It's a canopy related question because if You all take a look at the following pic you may notice that rear canopy frame (arc) seems slightly (very, very slightly) wider than the one from Walmis and maybe bit more angled (upper part slightly canted towards). Here, take a look: SuperKungFu posted couple of pics in his reply so I'm just gonna quote him, but if you take a look you might notice that there's a small difference between RL Eagle and new 3D model.Quote: Originally Posted by SuperKungFu Hey walmis, I just wanted to say thanks again for listening to me and improving the nose and canopy.

Whereas your model is mainly downhill slope as indicated on the layout, so I guess the layout was a little off. I'd like to compare Israeli Eagles (lined up) with the picture from LO. Photographer made a pic of Eagles while standing @ their 10 o'clock while SKF took a screenshot from a slightly smaller AOT. But, distance between rear canopy arc at it's base seems larger in screenshot but it should be otherwise because of the bigger view angle in the photo. This might bother the sensitive (ED), so please discuss my findings. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
SuperKungFu Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 yea that's the strange part. I'm glad people also agree with me but this is in no way in walmis fault. It matched perfectly to the layout found on airwar If anyone has a different layout please do share. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 ...and please note difference in aerials (under the nose) and I and J models do not have 'pimple' antenna in front of the canopy! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Stealth_HR Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 ...and please note difference in aerials (under the nose) and I and J models do not have 'pimple' antenna in front of the canopy! I and J being IAF/DF and JASDF variants, respectively? I doubt any other export versions (like the K model) have that bump either - if memory serves, a couple of pages back someone mentioned it as a GPS antenna.

SuperKungFu Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 i dont think its on the A model either But it is on the C model so i guess it should be modeled. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Sundowner.pl Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 That cannon is too small.. it almost looks like a GAU-2, not GAU-4 In M61A1 the last spacing disc have diameter of 6 inches (152mm). here's some shots for size comparison of this 20mm Gatling gun: M61 in SUU-23/a pod http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/zh/f/fc/M61_A1_20mm_GattlingCannon.jpg http://www.midwaysailor2.com/mnangmuseum/museum-031b.jpg [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] "If a place needs helicopters, it's probably not worth visiting." - Nick Lappos
SuperKungFu Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 While on that subject of the gun, this is the one currently in the game maybe add a few poly to make it round (into a small hole) like the pictures shown above [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Kuky Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 man, I can't keep track of the latest file for the F-15... anyone able to post latest link to latest update for walmis's F-15???

SuperKungFu Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 i think this is the latest http://www.hellenicsquadron.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=19 Just download that and update and you should be set. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zaGURUinzaSKY Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 i think this is the latest http://www.hellenicsquadron.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=19 Just download that and update and you should be set. I didnt read all 13 pages, is this file the full package? if not, what else do I need? Thanx Robbie.
ViperEagle Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 You have to Download the new package, which contains the newest version of the model as a whole. Which is what I believe is what is linked there. The updater that was released along with the original package, not the one that was IN the package, still works and updates the model.
