Alfa Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 Thanks a lot! And the combine won't affect other planes？? No because the new weapon/rack combinations are added to the meinit.xml as extra "mirror" entries of the original - having the same display names as these, but different CLSIDs. Then it is just a matter of stating those(CLSIDs) instead of the original in the pylon- and payload sections under a particular aircraft entry :) . In the FC meinit you can see how this was done for the R-73. In the general section for weapons there are two R-73 entries - one without rack and another with combined rack/R-73(which is used for the Su-25T and -TM). The setup in the meinit is just the last step and relatively simple. Making the associations prior to that is a little more complicated because it involves the "types.lua", "names.lua", "racks.lua and the "containertable.sht" with cross references between them, so it requires a little concentration to get it right :) .

Cosmonaut Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 But so many ideas.....I'm sorry that I have learned 3DSMAX only half a year, and many of them are difficult for me.....:huh: Hey man you're doing a great job .. just do the best you can and remember have fun while doing it and try not to work overly hard and burn yourself and your enthusiasm out. Now I have a couple of spare canards and some ducktape .. that should do it :P . Cozmo. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction. CDDS Tutorial Version 3. | Main Screen Mods.

RedTiger Posted November 3, 2008 Posted November 3, 2008 I'm glad to see the community helping out on this one. To be honest, I didn't see this as much of an improvement over the original one (and I sheepishly admit, I don't even know a thing about photoshop, let alone 3D modeling!), but it looks like its on the right track to be something great! :)

Even some non-flyable jets like F/A-18A/C had better polycount than Flanker family in LOMAC/FC. It's kinda weird 'cause we all know LOFC derived from Flanker sim so I expect it to be opposite! After comparing 3d models of Hornet and Flanker I always thought ED's primary idea was integration of Hornet as Blue side's carrier borne aircraft (Su-33 counterpart)! I guess insufficiency of data ED had on F/A-18A/C stopped it from becoming flyable in LOMAC! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Could you modify the combine with current rack model as examples?
Alfa Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Could you modify the combine with current rack model as examples? Yes and I already have such a mod(I found the files) where I used a simplistic APU-470 shape file. However, since I made the mod a long time ago I cannot remember what FC version(1.1 or 1.12) I made the mod in or whether I made other(unrelated) modifications to the files in question, so to be certain I would like to remake the mod in "clean" V1.12 FC files. 1 JJ

Francous Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Making damage model is a hard work..... No is not... Take the Su27 and break it.... simple !! Scratchhhh! and put some holes into it as well and your done... ;) Hehehe!
Teknetinium Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) SkieRider it seems that the model is to wide compere to the real thing, I dont know if Chinese had some design changes in their models ? could u compere them in same picture,from above view. to me the fuselage part is way to wide, making the nose apear shorter then it should be.

SkieRider Posted November 10, 2008 Author Posted November 10, 2008 Well, no news updated for five days......But I can tell you that now we are cooperating with Simmod. I believe that with simmodders' strict test and help, we will make the New Flanker nearly perfect! Though you shall wait a bit long time for it's release..... Thanks for simmod again here! 1

Majesco Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 3GO's Flanker should be more perfect than the Su-27SK/ J-11B made by Insky Workgroup :D
Mustang Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I distrust Simmoders. All projects are delayed at which help. What happens with F-15, F-16, Mitch's F-5...? Hey, thats OK, you know, we (simmod) only do this in our OWN TIME for the love of this sim! :doh: Sometimes, i just don't get the attitudes of some people around here, really p*sses me off....... 1
