MiGgressor Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Hello everyone! :bye_2: I've working for a few weeks now on a new mod for FC that aims to recreate actual and fictional (within realistic posibilities and keeping the "fun factor" in mind) Peruvian Air Force (FAP), Army (EP) and Navy (MGP) aircraft. This mod - which I have undertaken as a personal project - will feature the following characteristics: - Peru as a selectable country within the Coalitions menu - Five flyable aircraft - Over a dozen non-flyable planes and helos, depicting actual and "what-if" Peruvian Air Force, Army and Navy units, including AEW and refuelling aircraft - OPFOR based on American units that participated in the joint exercise "Falcon-Condor" earlier this year Realistic equipment: - MiG29S 'Fulcrum-C' (flyable) - Su25 'Frogfoot' - Mirage 2000 (M2000-5 in game - Air Superiority and Attack camo schemes - flyable) - Su22M 'Fitter-J' (Su17M4 in game) - C-130 Hercules - Antonov An26 'Curl' (Replacing An32 - Air Force, Army and Navy colours) - Mil Mi25 'Hind' (Mi24 in game) - Mi8T 'Hip' (Air Force and Navy colours) - Mi26 'Halo' (Army) - Augusta ASH-3D Sea King (SH-3 Sea King in game - Navy) - Augusta AB212 ASW (Navy) "What-if" equipment: - Su25T 'Frogfoot' (in new Su25UBK FAP camo scheme - flyable) - Su30 'Flanker' (flyable) - A50 'Mainstay' AEW aircraft - IL76 'Candid' - IL78 'Midas' airborne tanker Opposing Force (USAF and Air National Guard) - F-16C Fighting Falcon - E-3 Sentry AWACS - C-17 Globemaster III - C-130 Hercules Now here are some shots just to show off my work :D This is what I have already completed so far: Sukhoi Su25 from Air Group 11 (GRU11): Check out that Frogfoot driver :P Mil Mi25 'Hind' from Air Group 2 (GRU2): Mirage 2000 from Air Group 4 (GRU4)]in new Air Superiority colour scheme (older Attack camo pattern will also be available, I'll be taking care of that this weekend): And here are some units I'm currently working in as we speak: An26 in standard Navy colours: Mi8T (Air Force): US Air Force pilot from 34th Fighter Squadron ("Rude Rams") of Hill AFB (Utah) like the ones who participated in the joint, multi-national exercise "Falcon-Condor 2007": I want this mod to be top-quality, so don't expect it to be finished anytime soon. However, make no mistake it will be finished and released; I wish all of you to have as much fun using it as I'm having now, making it. So, I'll be updating any progress as often as I can. Comments are always welcome and of course, thanks for watching! :thumbup: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiGgressor Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Sorry for the lack of updates, chaps :( I had to reinstall Windows a couple of times :furious: and with it, my Lock-On. Plus I've been busy looking for new reference material to work with! :smilewink: I have tonnes of new photos I took at an airshow and also loads of high-quality, high-res images from a friend of mine who is an aviation/defence journalist. I also have my Lock-On up and running again so never mind, the mod is well back on track :thumbup: Turco, holas, recién reviso el topic después de tiempo, te estoy pasando un correo en este instante.

Brit_Radar_Dude Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Really nice skins MiGgressor. I have a copy of Air Forces Monthly magazine (somewhere in the house, I just cant find it!) that had an article on Peruvian Air Force and I am sure I recall some Su-17 photos with the same Tiger paint.

MiGgressor Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 I have a copy of Air Forces Monthly magazine (somewhere in the house, I just cant find it!) that had an article on Peruvian Air Force and I am sure I recall some Su-17 photos with the same Tiger paint. :clap: It just so happens that one of the authors of that article is a friend of mine who is sharing his collection of photos with me (as I previously said, he's a journalist for Jane's Defence Weekly and AFM) in order to have nice, detailed photoreal skins in all aircraft :joystick: By the way, I'm working on the Su22M with that particular nose art as we speak...

MiGgressor Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 Merry Christmas to everyone! OPFOR units are coming online: preview of the Fuerza Aérea de Chile (Chilean Air Force) F-16C; Chile will play as OPFOR and/or ally in several missions simulating a joint exercise with Peruvian units. F-16AM MLU is also in the making: And a new texture for the LANTIRN AN/AAQ-13 and AN/AAQ-14 Nav/Targeting pods: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiGgressor Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 ¡Thanks HungaroJET! :thumbup: I'm having a hard time with MEinit.xml... I thought I had everything figured out but I'm having unexpected problems, don't know if anyone could help me... The thing is, for example, when I added Chile and the F-16 everything seemed to work perfectly so I did the same thing with Peru (so far I had been testing skins using existing countries). Now I can see my new countries and all but I can't place units in the planning screen, I can't view them or assign waypoints to them or add targets, nothing! Funny thing is, though I cannot "see" them I still get access to the loadout screens. Any ideas of what may I be doing wrong here? Ok, here's the thing: my countries do show up in the Coalitions menu and all... but then, I try to add a new unit and nothing happens!!! I mean... there it is, "Mirage 2000-5" is there but no plane icon appears in the map window and neither the "Route" entries become active: And although I can't place my jet on the map, I can still view it in the Payload screen, even change loadouts and all... As you can see, country does show up correctly, colour scheme does show up correctly but there's no way I can see that plane on the map: I hate messing around with MEinit.xml, I just hate it! My thing is making skins, that's what I enjoy the most (besides flying in the sim, of course), not that coding BS that takes away so much precious time and is incredibly boring. I wish there was an easier way to do this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWT Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Nice work mate, i think i may continue with my Indian air force mod after seeing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWT Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Oh and you might have to edit the AN-ALQ texture as it currrently says USAF. Correct me if im wrong :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camacmm Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Hi MiGgressor Great Job friend,:thumbup: Felicito mucho tu trabajo y aplaudo el esfuerzo para generar el mod y la cantidad de skins para la FAP. Mis respetos amigo... eres un Maestro:smartass: Que tengas un excelente 2008. PD: Puedes hacer skins para otras fuerzas ??:music_whistling: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 ooo... I like this camo a lot, Now you just need to fix the area where wing joins the fuselage so the gray camo is not cut off like that... other than that skin looks awsome :thumbup: No longer active in DCS...

MiGgressor Posted December 27, 2007 Author Share Posted December 27, 2007 Thanks FWT y gracias camacmm :thumbup: Por cierto, sí puedo hacer skins para otras fuerzas siempre y cuando tenga el material de referencia apropiado. Kuky, thanks for pointing that out, it's fixed now: :) Does anybody know where the texture for this piece is (side of airbrake)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
