Mig25 with custom pit project

[eleyp]

Hi !

I just started making mods and I am now working on an upgraded version of the Mig25P by CivorodoM (MiG-25P (v1.4) (digitalcombatsimulator.com))

 

I've managed to incorporate VSN's fix for external animations on FC3 mods which I am extremely thankful towards them for making it. I'm also working on adding a custom pit that I got from here : 3D model MiG-25 VR / AR / low-poly | CGTrader

 

I have some people testing it and I won't be releasing it here until I believe it's good enough. If you want updates on it, I'll leave a link to my server here : https://discord.gg/B9j4qAqsDs

I'll attach some photos of the pit on this post as well. I count on keeping this post updated as well

 

I wish you all a wonderful day !

This is exciting! The MiG-25 is one of my favorite aircraft and I've always wanted one in DCS!

Same, that's why I'm doing it. I've always wanted a foxbat but since I don't see any I decided to give it a try, I hope I'll be able to make it good enough for other people to enjoy and play with.

today's development :

- Made the range based on fuel gauge functional

- Made the engine temperature gauges functional

- Changed menu theme image (looks weird in screenshot because I'm on a wide monitor) and changed the order in which the music plays

next on my todo list :

- Add flaps and airbrake indicator

- Fix/Remove the damn HUD

- Add all the warning lights

Looking amazing!

Nice stuff!  What is the flight model like?  SFM or does it borrow an FC3 PFM?

[eleyp]

I believe it's SFM since it does fly differently from FC3 planes (pulls less alpha and g's and goes faster)

 

today's development :

- Switched to F15C avionics to remove hud (radar altimeter does not work anymore tho ; mach meter also stops at 2.5 because of the F15C avionics now)
- Temporarily removed the sight until I make my own
- Added some indication lights (gears, flaps, airbrakes, afterburners)
- Remade range based on fuel gauge to adapt to F15C fuel (it is now less precise tho)

next on my todo list :

- Add basic warning lights related to RWR
- Check/polish animations

- Release first public version !

Почему используйте авионику Ф-15, а не Су-27 или Миг-29?

F-15 был выбран вместо Су-27, потому что это единственный самолет FC3, который позволяет мне скрыть HUD.

[eleyp]

today's developement :

- Added more lights (RWR, Master caution, ...)

- Added simple RWR (Tells if an Aircraft or a SAM Site is spiking)

- Added actual lights on the warning light textures

- Modified altimeter texture since F15 avionics were in ft (so I converted it to meters)

next on my todo list :

- Fix airbrake indicator

- Polish some animations and check them for issues

The external 3d model is the stock ED one and the cockpit model is one I bought a few years back. I will also be releasing a trailer soon since I'm pretty close to a first public release !

Indeed it looks awesome, thx a lot @eleyp.

One thing, is it possible to model rounded objects with more polys? Specially noticeable are tachos. But I would say that the somekind of closing rings are missing around the black edges. So this means its still WIP, right?

Yes, this is still WIP. The version releasing this weekend is NOT a final version. I'm still working on it rn and I will keep working on it after release.

Outside model progress. Still needs some fixes but hopefully will be included in the release.

Finally a new 3-D-model for this  beauty???? This would be amazing. . . if it´s true, you made my day before it starts!!  Please confirm, what 3-D model do you use? Will there be dynamic tactical numbers in different colors? (Urbi from this forum is a very reliable ressource and willing to assist and support several mods and projects like the cold war mod etc. -  when it comes to roughmets and skins and so on. . .) The screenies are looking very promising. . . keep up your amazing work and thank you for sharing. Would like to donate. . .

The 3D model I'm using is mentioned in the original post, it's a model I bought a year ago and never used until now. At initial release it won't have the dynamic numbers, but I plan on upgrading everything afterwards

Outside model trailer I will make a video with more information on the mod after the release (don't worry I'll make a little post to explain basic stuff, there's also some info on the server )

I find no thread for this wonderful mod. Not made by me!

Here is what the mod does, in the author's own words:

Featured in many recent Growling Sidewinder videos.

Enjoy.
