Download version 0.2 of the An-12 here: 

Changelog:

v0.1: Initial release

v0.2: Minor fixes to 3D model and textures (inc. specular map no longer declared in edm), new animations, collision shell added

Hi, walrusw.

I found your An-12 model's visual bug --- ailerons, flaps, elevators and rudder are rendered with strange white shining or dark shading in DCS World.
They come from Normals trouble often seen in 3d game object modeling.

Easy to fix them to separate polygons with "Facing directions" by each edges before final exporting.

When edges' vertexes are shared, 3d rendering engine wants to treat "there is a rounded sphere without edges".

Wheel bay doors also have similar trouble.
Separating two pieces by outside polygons or inside polygons are needed.

3d modeling applications have internal automatic normals management system (like 3ds Max Smoothing Groups) ,
but DCS World with EDM format doesn't equip those ones --- manual operation in exporting process is needed (when EDM exporter doesn't have such functions).

I wish there were correct lights (nav, landing) and pilots in this model (An-12) too.

Thanks for the model. I would like an animated ramp and a door.

Any chance on getting some more Vietnam era statics? Digging the Caribou and Provider!!!!! They are going on our Vietnam server

I hope the EC-121 is still being developed.

Hello, warning: the An-12 causes white spots to appear on the canopy of Aerges' Mirage F1. See this post

Coming soon...

3D model and textures by Virtavia, prepared for use in DCS with their generous permission

Any update on the EC 121?  Would love to incorporate it into our "Into the Jungle" Mission.  Will it be able to be used in lieu of the E-3 AWACS to call out BRA?  I would like to incorporate this with our bomber intercept missions and red CAP incursions.

I wanted to create it for the Militariy Aircraft Mod, then I can stop.

Я делал ЕЦ 121, но валрус сказал что сам сделает, в итоге он нихрена не сделал, и нет этого самолета у нас

I made EC 121, but Valrus said that he would do it himself, in the end he didn't do a damn thing, and we don't have this plane

Do you still have the plane?  Has he stopped all comms?  There are some other really talented mod makers out there if you still have it.  They may be interested in picking it up.  I would like to see it brought to DCS.  It fits the Vietnam era a lot better.
