hitman Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 I can hear IK now...finally someone got it right, lol...Imma reppin this one. I LOVE that TER and them LAU-68's.
Merc Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 Actually, IguanaKing does deserve some credit for pointing me out the inaccuracy of the LAUs in Lock-on. Even if these models were not discussed at the time. Cheers IK :thumbup: Edit : I also found a little something which is not right... but I'm not going to change that whole screenshot bunch for a texture mapping detail, it will be corrected. 1 - Nachtwolf
Kuky Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 How much work was it involved creating this MER? Damn, I wanna learn how to make these 3D models... how much is the software worth?

Black_Hawk Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 This looks nice! Today I'm in the mood for giving rep to people, so have a point :pilotfly: 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
Merc Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 @Kuky : 3Ds max 9 commercial is around 3500 USD However, If you are a student, 3Ds max 9 is only 250 USD :smartass: but the EULA is only cleared for educational / nonprofit use. (Which should be fine for hobbyists) When it comes to trying it or learning : There is a free 30 day trial of 3ds max 7 : http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/3D-Studio-Max-Download-15976.html You can then purchase a licence (full or student) and activate it. Another option is to use Blender (free and very good) http://www.blender.org/download/get-blender/ You will just have more possible problems with porting the models to lockon since you will have to go through 3Ds max anyway. And when you need to export to LOM, ask someone who has 3Ds max, or use the one at your job, or install the free trial when you need to export to LOM. The last is twisting licenses a bit and I don't encourage it. For the textures, I recommend the gimp (free but awkward to use) or Corel paintshop pro (55 USD) over the expensive photoshop (600 USD). Gimp: http://www.gimp.org/ So if you are broke, you can have a 3D suite with texturing tools for free, open source, no ads, no catch, no spyware (blender + gimp) but you will still need access to 3Ds max (for exporting) - Nachtwolf
SuperKungFu Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 We should also ask from ED if they can add a slot for the A-10 fuel tanks, so we can start going on longer missions. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Not only that, but IIRC they're used for ferry duty only, not for range extension...for that ... you use a KC-10. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Witchking Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Finally something for the A 10. :) It would be great if you can do a similarly detailed A-10 model too. :D WHISPR | Intel I7 5930K | Nvidia GTX980 4GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR4 | Intel 730 series 512GB SSD | Thrustmaster WARTHOG | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR4 pro | |A-10C|BS2 |CA|P-51 MUSTANG|UH-1H HUEY|MI-8 MTV2 |FC3|F5E|M2000C|AJS-37|FW190|BF 109K|Mig21|A-10:SSC,EWC|L-39|NEVADA|
SuperKungFu Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 yea if anyone is willing to dig up my old A-10 thread and check to see if lo-fi (or anyone else) would continue the A-10, then it could happen. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Merc Posted July 7, 2007 Author Posted July 7, 2007 I should make the pack this weekend if I get an answer from a few people out there quickly enough. - Nachtwolf
Highwayman-Ed Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 Excellent, I've been looking forward to this... :thumbup: Intel i9-9900KF @5.2GHz MSI Z390 Gaming Pro Carbon 32GB G.Skill Trident Z DDR3200 RAM MSI RTX 2080 Ti Gaming X Trio 40" Panasonic TH-40DX600U @ 4K Pimax Vision 8K Plus / Oculus Rift CV1 / HTC Vive Gametrix JetSeat with SimShaker Windows 10 64 Bit Home Edition [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Deadman Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 yea if anyone is willing to dig up my old A-10 thread and check to see if lo-fi (or anyone else) would continue the A-10, then it could happen. As far as I know Lo-fi is not working on the A-10 model now but may in the future.If not hi might pass it on to another modeler https://forum.dcs.world/topic/133818-deadmans-cockpit-base-plans/#comment-133824 CNCs and Laser engravers are great but they can't do squat with out a precise set of plans.
adi-Michael Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 Yeah! GOOD WORK MAN that's an excellent idea..:thumbup: {adi}-Michael - Istruttore Eagles Bombers Air Dominators Italia http://www.ad-ita.it From Italian Community http://www.ad-ita.it/images/avatarbanners/Targ.Mike.jpg
Cosmonaut Posted July 14, 2007 Posted July 14, 2007 This is going to look awesome!! :thumbup::thumbup: It has already been done, by me. ;) They don't look quite right, because I had to use one of the available fuel tank models, but they work. They can be carried on 4,6, and 8. IK you should link to your A10 GBU meinit.xml file in your sig. I'm sure there are lots of people that would want to check it out. :) Cozmo.

Merc Posted July 15, 2007 Author Posted July 15, 2007 IguanaKing's weapon mod will be an option in the archive, as well as Shepski's. They both confirmed me that I could include them. meinit.xml needs updating with these models anyway because the original bomb placement is totally off. I'm finishing up the last touches to it and it will get released, nothing big really, the modman pack is made and I'm just finishing up all this. - Nachtwolf
hitman Posted July 15, 2007 Posted July 15, 2007 Ok...I got nothing but idle time for this. Im standing by.
