:(I can't believe no one wants to finish this project:noexpression:.Please someone give the superbug a life! Alot of people would want to see this beauty in the lock on sky so please if you have alot of time on your hands and own 3dsmax please finish it. It would also save me from flying the regular hornet at a future VFAT! If someone is willing to make it contac EricJ.

:clap: I'm glad that you, Yeni, took this project in your hand. Thank you for it! :happy:

Now I think this Bug lies in good hands...:thumbup:

And considering I have nearly 1000 really good reference pictures, it shouldn't come out bad at all :D

Well I've decided to go ahead and release the model "as is"...

 

Unfortunately with Yeneciri helping with Black Shark, he's going to be severely tied up, so I figured it would be best, since I'd still like to see this in LOMAC. Anyways, a few requests for those who decide to mess with it.

 

Credits:

 

EricJ - I bought the freaking model, I should get some credit!!!

SunDevil - He pretty much worked on it since I don't know crap about modelling.

 

Only thing I ask is any "fnished" models and so on and so forth, and obviously to texture the joker, etc.

Sincerely I hope somebody frees up their time and gets it in the sim...

 

As mentioned, I got a little bit over a thousand reference pictures easily able to get you, and as you can see, FWT has quite a few more...

Trust me. Nobody will want what I might do to that model. I'm just trying to learn a bit about 3D max. Although I would like to be able to do what is required someday.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong here. The ED tools work ONLY with 3Dmax 7 and 3Dmax 7 won't open a .3ds file? Is there a plugin or something that will open this in 7?

ED tools works with 3dmax 7 and 8. The plugins for 8 can be found over at lockonmodels

 

and 3dmax can open .3ds file. I opened the F-18 just fine, however its not assembled, you have to peice it back together.

sorry man I'm also new to this who 3dmax experience as well, waiting for someone more experience to come in here to answer that one. I just remember I downloaded the file and looked at it using 3dmax 7 and moved it around and such. I don't really know what's the difference between just opening it and importing it. I haven't tried exporting it yet.

From what I understand is that SunDevil was redoing some bits, so that's the reasoning for it being "exploded" like that.

Hey Eric,

 

Nice model of the Super Bug there. :thumbup:

As many of you are aware from Sabertooths topic on the F-14D model project, I am helping him out to get the F-14D into the game.

I really think it would be cool to have the US arsenal of carrier based aircraft in this game.

 

As I have pretty much completed my hydroplane project now, I would be willing to get this one into the game for everyone to enjoy.

 

Being that both the Super Bug and the Tomcat are roughly at the same point and require the same things done to them it should not be to difficult to work in tandom. What works on one just transfer to the other and move on to the next item.

 

What I would do here is one day on F-14D and the next on the Superbug and give each of them equel modelling time.

 

As I am sure the F-14 guys would love to have this flying along with them in the game as you would like to see the F-14D along with the bug.

 

Why don't you shoot me a PM and we can see how we can setup a transfer so I can get started.

 

This one is just to good to let die. :thumbup:

I wouldn't mind either but it's the matter of trying to keep them carrier capable but overall doesn't seem like it may happen..

Glad to see everything come together as I know how it is EricJ, buying a model and intenting it to go into game and seeing it just sit there. We are lucky enough that Racer is really undertaking a very big project. Bigger then I am sure anyone realizes after speaking with him. But glad a partnership between, EricJ, myself, Racer and Virtualnavairops can bring these two beautiful Fighters into Lockon and then some.
