F-15 Release

Cosmonaut · November 13, 2006

Some things that where mentioned i would see as minor flaws too and love seeing them corrected but if not, it would still be a great piece of art as it is.

My sentiments exactly, I am using the new Eagle and loving it.

This is a first for the community and there are bound to be minor hiccups that we can point out and thankfully we have a community member like Walmis that is brave and talented enough to take on a huge project like this.

Is the updted version released yet?

walmis · November 13, 2006

no, not yet, still fixing bugs.

SuperKungFu · November 13, 2006

Regardless thank you for continue supporting the lock on community. Just keep up updated on the progress, might i suggest add a few more antennas at the bottom of the aircraft like TACAN aerial, temperature probes. Looks like you corrected the nose and the canopy position, great job! Btw, does anyone know what this little round thing is on the nose?

I guess it wouldn't hurt to add it, you can add this in the later release. The next update should mainly focus on the nose (which you did), the airbrake, and maybe the airintake/fuel tanks- still checking if this problem was related with your model or something else.

ViperEagle · November 13, 2006

I think it may be the GPS antenna. A similar "bump" can be found in the F-14 B and D's dorsal spine.

Merlin555 · November 13, 2006

Hey Walmis.. Famtastic job !!! Like the others im in love with you model, even if I agree on the needed modification on the nose and the canopy !!!

I dont know if I dare ask you that, but would it be possible that you release a CLEAN version of it for NASA skins or solodisplay purpose ?

I mean, a 3d model WITHOUT the wing and fuselage PYLONs.. just as it appears sometimes.. Like that, the Eagle looks even more a bird of prey..

it would just have to be a different pack, which one would have to install with modman, each time he wants a clean F-15C ... I dont think it will be very hard for you to do so.. you just need to delete parts (pylons) of your model 3d.. I hope you dont mind doing so and uploading it.. You would finally fullfill a dream that i have since the release of LOCKON.

Thanks in advance, even if you dont do it. The model is great !

firesoldier845 · November 13, 2006

Uh, firesoldier ... did you make a model and someone whined about it?

What does this have to do with anything?? Is this supposed to mean that unless I've made a 3d model I can't voice my opinion. Cause I haven't actually seen any of your 3d models either nor any 3 models from any of the other people's 8 pages worth of comments in this thread.

Oh and FWIW, I've made at least a dozen 3d models for other sims. If I didn't have family, kids, wife I would more than likely do some stuff for LockON. I'm considering maybe doing some ground units - would like to see some main battle tanks and APC from other nations cause I mostly do ground pounding online.

So far walmis as wanted to make a good replacement for the community, and he's getting their help in doing so. I see people pointing out legit flaws here. What are you doing, whining about imaginary whiners?

We can go back and forth all day on what is a legit flaw and what is just plain a whine. It's subjective. If I wanted to point out some of the whines I would have quoted them but I am not here to debate that or get into a battle with those individuals. I rarely if ever join the constant bickering here over this game. I'm just pointing out that no matter how good he finishes this model there will always be complainers and unless he wants this to become a full time job he should just do it the way he wants it to look.

You can have the last word. I don't want this thread to turn ugly and it already stinks so I'm not going to reply back. Maybe I was in bad mood when posted or took things wrong way. I just hate to see guy put all this work in when I know people will complain never ending no matter what or how good a job he does.

cheers

oh and no hard feelings -

Merlin555 · November 13, 2006

oh.. And I forgot to say.. I think the air intake geometry is not moving as much as with the previous model.. maybe you should increase it a bit

AJ.eightFive · November 14, 2006

Hey walmis, I uninstalled and reinstalled your mod using Modman and this time the outboard external tanks were in the right position. The centerline tank was still out of place however.

Also noticed that the gear retraction animation is very slow, check out this video, they really come up quick! http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Guest/545/

zaGURUinzaSKY · November 14, 2006

anybody working on flankers too??

Glowing_Amraam · November 14, 2006

Model looks AWESOME in-game :D

Btw, the engines, aren't they supposed to be "smaller" when not using afterburner? They seem alot "bigger" when "idle" than with the previous model?

Shotsx74 · November 14, 2006

Walmis,

Excellent model and I hope with all the little pointers you create the best looking Eagle model ever lol =). Very good work. My only question is as of right now, how do you install your own skins? I tried using the CDDS installer but it doesn't seem to work and I tried just using modman/loman and just installing like that, but that did not work eaither I am not sure if there is a previous post or not but if so I think I may have missed it I'm not sure. The nose looks very good too, maybe they'll put your model into BS? Have you considered asking?

SuperKungFu · November 14, 2006

anybody working on flankers too??

stikemax's su-27

pho3nix · November 14, 2006

wrt what Merlin555 was saying with the pylons, on the su-25t at least (havent checked the vanila) the outer most pylons are only installes when there are stores attached, (ECM and R-60)

EDIT: also think that this should be made sticky

Kuky · November 14, 2006

I had a look at that centre line fuel tank and seems to me both the fuel tank and the carrying pylon are moved backward (the pylon definitely is).

Also please don't forget to correct front wheel to turn the right way... sorry if I (and so many of us) sound so demanding and picky... but believe me there won't be any point in having so much hard work and dedication put into this model already... and have some obvious "bugs" slip through :( It would be too much of a waste of good work put in already, and all of us will be thankfull to your skills and dedication to make it right... I know I would :D

I guess this is to show that what I was told by someone, that no matter how much time you put in writing and how good you write your essay... only the 3rd or 4th version will be the really good one :D

Edit: I guess when you hear none of us "whining" about any mistakes / discrepancies... you will know you got it right !

Tatti · November 14, 2006

Awesome work.

Btw, UV Mapping is really a bitch. I am deeply impressed that you were able to make the old skins fit almost perfectly. Keep it up!

regards,

Tatti

walmis · November 14, 2006

A small update is out, i will be releasing regular updates. The updater in the pack is a bit buggy. Get this one, extract to lomac dir and run f15_updater.exe

And btw, dont tell me about the antennas, will add them later ;)

Glowing_Amraam · November 14, 2006

Will the update work even if i installed the model using Modman to begin with?

walmis · November 14, 2006

definately

Glowing_Amraam · November 14, 2006

Edit, nevermind, just tested it. And wow, the model looks spectactular now!! :D:D

Awesome job.

Any chance of adding the pilots vizor (or whatever its spelled) to be down, covering his "eyes"? :P

Anyway, gonna play around with it a little. ;)

diditopgun · November 14, 2006
