F-15 Release

[Shaman]

Walmis, simply outstanding work of yours. I have a question. Have you been already contacted by ED? I mean have they offered you help in including this 3D model with all its possible bells & whistles into 1.2 addon? You definately deserve being immortalized in LockOn's credits.

Nope, i have not. Not a word from them. I guess if this was a russian bird they would've shown more interest :)

Also noticed that the canopy is VERY bright at dusk/night time. Looks very out of place. I'll post some screenshots momentarily.

 

Same thing happens with default Su-25T with v1.12a. Perhaps too much glass effect in 3dS max?!

no, that's a game bug probably. Doesnt happen to me though. Maybe another ATI problem?

[Vekkinho]

Yup, I run ATI with 6.9 drivers! Damn!

[Merlin555]

I seem to be having the same problem as kungfu had with the pilot and the intakes, I don't really feel like copying my lock on folder, re extracting ect........ is there a way to fix this?

 

[Pilotasso]

the underwing missiles show correctly for me. But the ones on the fuelage still have the weird placement.

[walmis]

Pilotasso, you mean like this?

The positions are good, i just can't rotate them.

Yes. I know you cant rotate them but so couldnt ED with their model. But they managed to disguise that by puting missile behind each other and burry the front missiles slightly while leaving the rear ones slightly hanging out. It Still doesnt look ideal but at least it wouldnt stand out as obviously as yours. just my 2 cents. I know you already took much time doing this stuff and correcting a bazilion problems. My Kudos to you! :)

Well to tell you the truth it's /possible/ to rotate 'em. But due to a bug, you can only rotate them vertically, if you try to rotate horizontally, they are are fine in payload editor, but return to 0 rotation when in game.

 

Thanks for the quick reply, :thumbup:

I have no idea why or how the update utility doesnt work for you :huh:, i have put your files in my lo installation, ran the installer and everything was perfectly fine. Attached them for you, and anyone who have problems may use them. Btw, i fixed aspect ratio for you to 1.25, if you havent noticed 1.3333 squashes objects on 1280x1024 res.

files.rar

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

S~!

 

Thanks I use LOCFG and I think it auto sets the aspect to 1.333

 

Hmmm thanks for running it on your machine, I guess I will have to try other fixes. I am using Ati 6.6 on an 1800xt

[walmis]

so, does it work fine now?

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

negative same, I have installed and uninstalled it twice. Slightly frustrated as all the rest of the model is there, the burners look great. Notice the missiles under the wing are also off...........:helpsmilie:

 

 

[walmis]

During installation, does a small window appear saying "parsing meinit.xml"?

 

And if everything fails, use the files i attached in files.rar

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

I have done that. No love.

 

menint appears on both install and unistall.

[walmis]

something's wrong, it shouldnt appear on uninstall

[walmis]

ok, lets try something else. Get this http://www.ofp-sgc.com/LOFiles/f15_installer.exe

and run in not from lockon directory, when it asks point it to lockon.exe

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

hmmm roger............. using your files I get this, pilot textures and intakes come in, not sure if its what its supposed to be, but missile is still off the rack.

 

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

Super S~!!!!!!!!!

 

Walmis your the man :thumbup:

 

The new installer fixed everything. Hope it helps others.

 

[walmis]

uploaded a new f15_installer.exe

Download it and try again.

 

EDIT: whoops, didnt see that you fixed it.

Could you test this new one?

Now put it into lockon folder and run it twice (uninstall and install).

[Guest Hell Sqn Protos]

S~!

 

Tested new installer in the directory, all works :thumbup:
