F-15 Release

[Valery]

Ice, well done!! Quality skin has strongly increased. Can send you my layer with technical inscriptions? It is necessary?

[walmis]

Uploaded a new update. new Gun funnel and repositioned the light.

[EscCtrl]

Seeing as no one else has commented - the lights are good, though either the texture is misaligned or the lights are VERY slightly. Not enough to bother me but i'm sure someone will demand you change it.

 

I definitely like the new cannon :) its the little details that have a big impact.

[AJ.eightFive]

Well when it is finished, share it over here too! Keep up the good work:thumbup:

 

Hey walmis, have you at all expeiremented with the vorticies and LERX or whatever they are. (I cant remember the technicalities)

 

LERX (LEX/Strakes) stands for Leading Edge Root Extension. These are aerodynamic devices used to increase lift in high angle of attack maneuvers by creating high speed vortices above the wing (which strikemax is attempting to model on the SU-27). The F-15C does not feature these.

[Mizzy]

INCREDIBLE work Walmis, this is the best model in LOMAC. I don't fly the F15 but you have changed all that ;)

 

Well done and thank you.

yea the lights are awesome but its only displayed right with ICE's skin since that skin was made in the interest of this model. Whereas the old skins, the texture is a little off so it doesn't appear right. And the new cannon is awesome!

Ah right - I'll try it again later with his skins - anyone else tried making skins for this model also?

[Ukr_Alex]

The model is indeed amazing. Su-25T and this side by side look awesome ;)

 

 

BTW has anyone noticed how damn similar F15 and the Mig25 look or is it just me :huh:

Sure that would be cool

thanks

@ice

 

this is probably going to be a no, but doesn't hurt to ask, is it possible for you to release a template so more people can make skins for this F-15?

[Ice]

as i already said in this thread. When the F15 is completed and I am happy with the template. I will be releasing it.

 

Walmis, nice work on the update.

[Trident]

Now that I'm back at my LOMAC computer I finally got around to installing the newest version of the F-15 model. It's a work of art walmis!

 

Have some Rep, my friend :)

[chateau_dur]

Hi all,

 

I have a problem with the textures, the pilot misses some of them and the engines as well (nozzle + tailpipe) :cry:

 

 

How can i fix that please ?

 

Thank you

 

EDIT :

 

sorry i just found the post about that problem

[Crowbar]

Great skin Ice!

 

But could you make skins with realistic tail codes? PACAF that's what I'm most interested in :thumbup:

Since you are still here Walmis :) , I post some pics with how the inner lights are looking at my end. I guess is at everybody.

 

 

 

 

Still a little offset I guess. And a little missalignment in texture also on the right wing.

But not something to stress yourself about at the end of the year :D . Maybe next one.

 

I have also a question. In this picture:

 

 

...there are some jagged white lines that can be seen at joints. They are visible only on load out screen, in the game everything looks OK. Is that because the mesh of the plane is actualy composed from more than one big element? Like you have some paralel lines at those "artefacts" that are not actualy "welded". And if is so... do you plan that a "final" release will have all the elements joined and all the "ovelaped" lines welded?

 

And... I wish you a happy new year! :beer:

[SuperKungFu]

again, the lights will only work properly with ICE's skin since that was made for this model. Not the old skins. @zaelu, if you use the new skin, you will see it lines up and the texture would be correct. And since ICE won't be releasing his template of the new F-15 skin until the model is fully finished, we would just have to live with it for now until more new skins pop up.

 

@walmis, great job so far. If you are looking for some new improvements to the model, the FO forum has suggested a few if it might interest you. http://www.fighterops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6240&page=2

One thing that gets me with a lot of the models in the game including the F15 (sorry walmis :P) is that the leading edge of the main wing is sharp - I swear it should be rounded - the Mig29 is nicely rounded.

 

Surely with such a good model so far you wouldn't overlook this?

 

 

I'll keep shun if I'm wrong or if the model is beyond editable stage.

[PythonOne]

Also is it possible to lighten the color of the canopy glass? It looks really glossy from the corner angles. In real life, canopy glasses are really transparent except under certain light where the reflections are clear. Please is it possible to lighten it. Sortof like the glass material from the Su-25T?

[Disso]

 

...there are some jagged white lines that can be seen at joints. They are visible only on load out screen, in the game everything looks OK.

 

If this only happens in the payload screen, why does it matter?

 

As long as its fine ingame, no need to waste extra time and effort on trivial matters like these.

 

The lights on the other hand are actual problems.

[SuperKungFu]

no the lights are not actual problem. They work perfectly with the right skin (aka ICE's skin). Since that skin was made for the model, not the old skins.

[zaelu]

Yes, with Ice skin it looks good. Thanxs guys for heads up.

 

Great skin Ice. :thumbup:

 

 

[Ice]

Working on the Israeli Skin now..

 

[TheProphet]

Beautiful! Looking forward to it:D

[Stealth_HR]

Great work, Ice, now the F-15I will have every right to be called the IAF Ra'am (Thunder). :thumbup:
