3GO New Flanker Model V1.5 Released!

[Vekkinho]

Yellow canopy's good with me, it seems more realistic as most of the Russian Flankers are parked outside on the hardstands throughout the year.

[71st_Mastiff]

Awesome work 3GO I love it...

[Pilotasso]

The yellow is suppose to simulate wear on the front of the canopy. If you do not like it then you can use Majesco's Clear Windshield mod. It works for 1.5 as well.

 

THx crunch. I thought the 1.5 package alreay had this, but sometimes old files getting recycled from the windows temp install files trash I was wondering.

 

Cheers

Wow! Thank you to the developers. A real improvement. I uninstalled the original version 1.2, (I think), using Modman 7.1 and used the exe file and it went off without a hitch. I was marvelling how much better it looks than the stock model. All of you modders give the game new life each time you release a new improvment.

 

Thanks again!

 

PS. Come on Borchi, time to show your stuff with that new F15!!!:smilewink:

[Poliakov]

Thank you for this splendid job

 

When one news Su-33???It's in the project???

[ESA_MistrL]

Great work guys. AWESOME. Many thx.

[Shaman]

Any adobe photoshop template for this one?

[Laud]

I guess the template of the previous version still works!??

[Shaman]

Well it seems, something has changed, since the new shape near the gun - and old 51st skins can't be switched to 1.5 format, there are textures missing.

[Vekkinho]

^^^^

Correct, even though the models are similar in shape and new 3GO Flanker textures and 3D model fixed strange pylon texture bug (black stripe on the lower side of that appeared with 1.03) these still appear if you install older texture over V1.5 model! I was experimenting with Thomas D Weiss' Flanker skins, in general I tried instaling his mint skin with V1.5 and black stripe reappeared!

[Laud]

So is there a new template??

[Vekkinho]

I haven't found one jet...I noticed additional polygons of the inner rim part of the main gear too and nose cone is more rounded than it was with 1.03. V1.5 is really setting the standard.

[Szelma]

Guys I have a problem.

My SU-27 1.5 haven't damage model. When I play Lockon and SU is hit - only explode, but when I use modelviewer and check arguments SU have damage model.

What is going on ?

Help

[Laud]

Maybe it's simply because you get direct hits which cause the explosion of your aircraft... ;)

[Szelma]

Ok

I lose part of wing

 

 

SU is hard but explode becouse I get hit direct to engine

[Vekkinho]

OK, guys I ask for some help here!

 

The trouble is old v1.04 skins still suffer from the black pylon stripe if you apply them to a new V1.5 model. There must be a new template for a V1.5 version of the Flanker but I haven't found it so far.

 

I've also created some very wornout Su-27 skins featuring RL Flankers that were and still are in use with CCCP or now Russian VVS and PVO. Some of the skins I made feature 941st IAP Kilp-Yavr aircraft and I used the only available template for 3GO's model, v1.04, the one that suffers from a black pylon stripe. These skins represent real aircraft and I used lots of photos to make 'em exact, featuring every and each scratch, distortion or smudge real aircraft had in that photos.

 

Now, if I wish to make a new entry in a list of available skins in payload editor instead of replacing default skins what's the path to take. I remember reading something on adding a CLSID number to each skin and adding the same into MEInit.xml but I'm not very familiar with it. So please explain the procedure, there's like 6 or 7 skins I wish to add to a 3GO Su-27 skin selection in LOFC.

 

Thanks all!

to add more skins you need to edit the xxxx.skin files for respective 3d model of an aircraft xxxxx.lom file

 

example for Su-27 you have:

su-27.skins

su-27-OBLOMOK-WING-L.skins

su-27-OBLOMOK-WING-r.skins

in each of these file add new section for every new skin slot by copy/pasting

 

skin

{

value = 1.2;

material = {"3gomain1", "standart", "su-27-L13.bmp"};

material = {"3gomain2", "standart", "su-27-R13.bmp"};

material = {"3gomain3", "standart", "su-27-B13.bmp"};

material = {"3goRadar", "standart", "su-27-L13.bmp"};

material = {"3gonumber", "standart", "su-27-nomera.tga"};

material = {"3gopilotbody", "standart", "RUS-PILOT-2.BMP"};

material = {"3gowheels", "standart", "SU-27-WHEELS.BMP"};

}

copy paste into:

 

skin

{

value = 1.3;

material = {"3gomain1", "standart", "su-27-L14.bmp"};

material = {"3gomain2", "standart", "su-27-R14.bmp"};

material = {"3gomain3", "standart", "su-27-B14.bmp"};

material = {"3goRadar", "standart", "su-27-L14.bmp"};

material = {"3gonumber", "standart", "su-27-nomera.tga"};

material = {"3gopilotbody", "standart", "RUS-PILOT-2.BMP"};

material = {"3gowheels", "standart", "SU-27-WHEELS.BMP"};

}

Value 1.2 means 13th skin slot, value = 1.3 means 14th skin slot and so on... you repeat same with ever new skin. BMP file names in bold are your new skin texture files

 

For Meinit.xml you make new CLLID and again just give a name to the skin slot then add this same CLLID into skin slot for the coutry it will be available. For example:

 

<ColorScheme CLSID="{36525adb-82b7-4496-bfb2-4d7d6de8eaee}" ID="0" Name="AF Standard early"/>

you copy paste into:

 

<ColorScheme CLSID="{36525adb-82b7-4496-bfb2-4d7d6de8e001}" ID="1" Name="Skin Slot 2"/>

<ColorScheme CLSID="{36525adb-82b7-4496-bfb2-4d7d6de8e002}" ID="2" Name="Skin Slot 3"/>

<ColorScheme CLSID="{36525adb-82b7-4496-bfb2-4d7d6de8e003}" ID="3" Name="Skin Slot 4"/>

etc

You don't need to generate new CLLID completely, you can just modify the last few digits like I did in this example (learned this from VNAO mod :) ) Edited October 9, 2009 by Kuky

[Vekkinho]

Cool Kuky, hvala, this was fast!

 

I'll give it a try whan I get home, and if I get stuck I'll PM-U! R U OK with that?!

[wasserfall]

There is nothing wrong with the damage model, on the contrary, it's amzing!!!

 

 

 

 

Cheers!!!

[Vekkinho]

Dented radome, is it V1.5 damage model 'cause I never saw it with 1.03?!!

[Joe Kurr]

Don't forget the bent pitot tube ;)

 

That's my aircraft during an online formation flight last week-end, after I had a mid-air collision with a Tu-95.

I lost all electronics, but was still able to get it home safely :)

 

Two more screenshots, just after impact:

 

 

 

You can still see the burning debris of the Tu-95 on the ground.

[BrumTx]

Wasserfall, where did you get the tiger skin please ???

Wasserfall, where did you get the tiger skin please ???

 

Liger Zero our team member made it by him self (it's the DFDT skin for our demo's)

[Liger Zero]

The skin will be avaiable for download soon at our website. http://www.dutch-flankers.nl
