I have made a simple An-12 mod using a model by Emmanuel BARANGER (helijah) (under the terms of the CC Attribution License), which he has kindly made available here: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/antonov-an-12-707e22f6edc64871b8c02f556be03075. My only modifications have been to animate it and create a basic roughmet. 

At this point the mod is rather basic, but it does fly and has animated landing gear and props. Hopefully I will have time to update it at a reasonable clip.

Constructive criticism is most welcome.

Why assign a texture to Specular when there is no such texture? If you had left out this assignment, the roughmet you created would have been loaded automatically. A _rougmet is only loaded as secular and not as roughmet.

Thanks for the clarification - I didn't realise that a roughmet didn't need to be declared in the definition of the model when I exported this one. For me it most definitely renders as a roughmet, however.

[Urbi]

walrusw

A specular with the name of a roughmet is declared. I can't use a roughmet as false because there is no roughmet for the main texture. You should have called this roughmet _spec and then the same texture again _roughmet, then you will see the difference.

that is not your roughmet. one I adapted. which I declared as false is not loaded in the game. In the viewer as spec. it is loaded from the texture folder. there is no roughmet specified for a ROUGHNESS_METALLIC.
look at the description at Heatblur Simulations. there is no entry for specular and only a single direct assignment for ROUGHNESS_METALLIC.

The EC-121 will be such a great asset to use with the Phantom Looking forward to it!

Agreed. I even remember the СMANO sim vibes, how useful this plane was in the era when there was no E-3A, etc.

[Linx]

Woah, that EC-121 is looking good!

[Guest]

I can't wait for the EC-121.  It's a Cold War aircraft that should be in Core DCS along with the Tu-126, IMHO.

Keep up the good work.

Hello,

Your EC-121 hasn't been released yet?

[LCO489]

Hi @walrusw nice work. I was having trouble with the Mirage F1 having some canopy textures issues wich i found to be from the "glass.dds" texture of the AN-12 mod. Could you please fix it to use a unique name for that texture?

[Tomcatter87]

Just downloaded you An-12, really nice, thank you! I noticed it only had textures for click Airways, is there also a soviet skin?
