Mainstay Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 First I would like to thank the team for creating this beautiful plane.II love it so far especially the cockpit feels alive. On the other hand I'm kinda disappointed about the external model. The external model feels nothing like the F-14 and F-18. Maybe it's just me but texture and detail wise it seems a step backwards compared to the two jets above. I sincerely hope this isn't the final external model. Thank you for all the hard work so far.
IRRE_Biluf Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 I agree, this F-16 seems to lack some weathering or details
TomCatGoad Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Probably because, just like they said, it's external model isn't finshee
JamesRothwell Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 It's very early access. I know I'm to blame, I was one of the ones begging ED for such early access. I'm happy with its current state. I'd rather fly it now in the current state instead of having to wait another 6 months to get more development.
Mainstay Posted October 5, 2019 Author Posted October 5, 2019 I'm not complaining either about the early access. But I'm worried about the model quality since its one of my favourite planes and I would cry if it stays like this. Where did they say the model is still unfinished BTW @tomcatgoad
Donut Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Wags and ED have stated that the model, textures, and artwork are WIP. I am sure when all is finished, the F-16 will be at the same quality as the other planes. Personally, I think the F-16 wouldn't seem so rough in it's current early access state if it looked better, but we will get there eventually. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT"
flavnet Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 It's an EA. We give time to time and ... to developers.
SkateZilla Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 The External Model isnt finished, Geometry and Textures wise. Which is why there is currently only 1 livery and no templates.

RaTzo Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 While working on a skin for it I noted they did most of the weathering in the RoughMet layers. This means in direct sunlight you won't see it very much. If you look at it in the shade it looks old and ragged but on the sunny side it is brand new. :) F-14B, A-10C,F-18C Lot 20, F-16C, UH-1H, SA342, Spitfire LF Mk IX, F-15C, Mig-29, Supercarrier, Nevada, Persian Gulf i9 9900k 5.0GHz, 32GB RAM, 1080Ti, Rift S, Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind pedals, Dual Monitors 4K & 1080 Every Day, Someone Uses Cute Krispy Snacks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Mainstay Posted March 31, 2020 Author Posted March 31, 2020 I noticed as well that the template has been released but the model is still the same......??
Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 There is also many missing details in the dashboard like rivets and vent holes, very characteristic of the viper in both internal and external models: the back of the cockpit also lacks a lot of details. hope to see it asap.

mvsgas Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 There is also many missing details in the dashboard like rivets and vent holes, Talking about details (insignificant or not) those are not rivets on the cockpit glare shield, they are Torq-set screws. Normally, worn and very difficult to remove. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Normally, worn and very difficult to remove. good to know, thanks!:thumbup: Btw, I also added the missing external canopy details using the official template...edited the normal map, roughmet and diffuse for the canopy frame and also for the canopy itself (too high specular reflection imo) ...still a lot of work to do but seems to be shaping nicely: Edited April 10, 2020 by watermanpc Take a look at my MODS here
wizav Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Very early access I bought it for $40 as investment. I am working on F-18 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
