rattler Posted October 27, 2008 Posted October 27, 2008 I have been working for years to get a good Canadian F-18 but I am no skinner. I want to thank 59th_jack for an awesome CF-18 skin(my wish finally comes true),141st_wolfs f18.mod for LOFC, Yaniceri for his vision of the Tw141 model and cockpit texture. All these people plus our regular LOFC texture made this mod possible. I have retextured the cockpit and to make the view unobstructive as the SU-33 is used, HAUF_074 back in 2006 helped me start this by clearing up the view for me with his expertise. This is a complete LOFC effort that finally came together and here is the result. Hope some Canadians like this. Hope some of you do too. 1

rattler Posted October 28, 2008 Author Posted October 28, 2008 (edited) This looks awsome rattler,any chance of a link or perhaps a release date? give me a shout by PM. This is not hard as the skins are already made, just have to do some renaming and maybe some cut and pasting in your meint.xml file so you keep your own with the changes you have made. Too long to tell you how here so drop me a PM and I will tell you what to do.cheers. The skins are at lockonfiles.com , 141st_wolf turkish mod for the F18. under flyable mods and the F18 skin is under other skins, second page I believe. these are already been done by others , I will show you how to put them together. unless you already know how.

rattler Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) There are a couple of people interested in Canadian content for LOFC. I am one. There may or may not be something in the wind as the main force behind this idea is extremely busy at this point in time. No promises or news can be told until this gentleman is ready. The thread suggested Canadian F18 for LOFC. He has an idea and it sounds great for those who want some Canadian content to LOFC but it may never come to pass, there are some obsticles that must be overcome first of all . Then he will see where he wants to go from there. Support for such an idea is one thing. Is anyone really interested except for a couple of us? If not then, that is it. Hopefull we can show some Pics of what is planned soon. We do have some things done and working away.Cheers.:book: rattler P.S. Some of the work in progress. Over 96% English pit.

rattler Posted November 15, 2008 Author Posted November 15, 2008 Rattler looks great man! I'll definitely be interested in this when it's complete! Well done! (Canadian also). The screens look great Glad you like it. We will update as we go along. Some things are complete, we have the 425 skin done and a retextured cockpit. My friend who is doing the main part has not seen these yet so I will be sending them off shortly. Thumbs up by him means we will release the skin and cockpit. Keep an eye out for more to come as my friend finds time to get back at the project. Cheers and thanks again for your interest.

mc_smile Posted November 16, 2008 Posted November 16, 2008 Looks very promising. F/A-18C is one of my favorites. Keep it up!

rattler Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 We have 2 Cdn. skins now , airport still WIP,(ground crews put in and some retexture for Cdn.) F18 cockpit (as much as can be done almost all english), so here are the skins a cockpit(WIP) don't know if we are quite happy with the look yet but getting close. Cheers. The skins are the 425Wing and 409Wing.
v1per Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Looks more like an F-14 cockpit, but looks good non-the-less.
rattler Posted November 19, 2008 Author Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Looks more like an F-14 cockpit, but looks good non-the-less. Well Unfortunately It uses the su-33 so all we can really do at the moment as you know is retexture, we can't move any MFD displays. So we try to jazz it up a bit color and this is almost 100% English on the gauges , etc. wish we could change the MFD's , then you would get your F18 cockpit. If you have any suggestions would be glad to have a look as we are still looking to improve on the look of the cockpit panel. Any suggestions are certainly welcome. We do have a couple of different ones but this is a more modern take as it is an F18 and not an F14 which also uses the su-33 cockpit as well. Cheers, thanks for the post and feel free to make a suggestion or 2, trying to make this look as modern as possible. Have a good day. Oh rather than waste a thread here are a couple of more pics. Hope you like them. Night pit is finished in green. It will stay that way even if we change some of the gauges again. As I said WIP and trying to make it look more modern. Hope you like it so far and the approach lights are much brighter now.Cheers. Edited November 20, 2008 by rattler 1

Francous Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 This is good and passionate but there is something that i can't overlook is the F18 floating in the air while on the ground... I love the Su-25T/39 due to it's details and as much 3D and AFM/damages and specific ground handling etc..
