Tom´s JetPack

[TOMCATZ]

Hello friends,

 

well I don`t have much experience in 3d modeling , skining or animations but I allways have a lot of fun while I do it in freetime. So I`m very very happy and proudly that I still finished some of jets for LOMAC and DCS...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My very best wishes and greetings,

TOM

Simply amazing work Tomcatz. One more reason to get FC2.0 (as if there weren't enough already). My personal favourite is your F-16. Thanks for all the hours you must have put in.

Nice one Su-30, awensome work on all planes man:-)

[Ghostrida9]

NICE WORK TOM...if you add this pack for FC 2.0 then oh yea...:joystick::joystick::pilotfly::holiday::holiday::holiday::holiday::surprise:

[theGozr]

SU30 Haaaa !! Great !!! very needed! :)

[Witchking]

can we manually install seperate jets? I am already using the amazing 3go flanker and gys F-15.

[Postal2]

Oh my goddddd!!! really nice !! great job !

 

Just the F15c ? it is compatible with a 3d model to gys ?? .

[zakobi]

Care to make the Su-34 too, please? :D

[Meatwad]

Are these for download somewhere?

There is no "JetPack" mod for FC2 on lockonfiles... guys, please stop release somethink without download links.

Tomcatz:

 

Really like you to do a nice job on the F-22. Would you be interested in carrying on with this project?

[TOMCATZ]

Hello guys,

 

Well, let us take a small overview about the things I have.

 

In past I created a "JetPack" for LockOn Flamingcliffs 1.12a. That included some Jets and Weapons. The mod needed a "meinit"-file to set hardpoints for pylons. After FC2.0 started and I re-newed my complete hard and software I started some small tests to bring some jets into FlamingCliffs2.0.

 

F-16CJ: I re-wraped the fuselage completelly new to be able to use ED-textures for the model. It`s still "lowPoly" but much better as stock model. However , I`m very happy that other partys started to remodel the Falcon `course it is still a very importent and one of the most famous multi-role-fighter in FC2.0

I used around 14.000 triangles for the shape and that should be pretty much okay for a LockOn model without using a LOD. I`m pretty proudly about the undercarriage. I created TGA files to show filigran structures and it works well

Su-30: Basecally all Flanker versions started by the famous Flanker B. So I hab to construct the Su-27 and upgraded the fuselage up to the Su-30 Flanker. In my personally meaning the Su-30 is the real modern interceptor for russian Airforce. She`s higly agile, dynamically and full with modern avionics. It`s possible to use modern weapons like R-77 to engage air targets while attacking ground objects with smart ammunition.

I`m not pretty sure with way ED will go in future - hope that fighters still will play a main role. So iff I have to build the Su-30MK in "high Poly" quality. Now it have`s 18.000 triangles while use one LOD. I had to made my own textures- It wasn`t possible to use ED`s `course I splitted the fuselage tip a bit earlier as ED did...

Su-27 Flanker B : The mother of all Flankers. So I had to start with it. It`s not so higly poly counted as 3GO`s model. That was very importent for me. I planed to configure it to Su-27SK or Su-35

 

 

But thistime its much more importent for me to modify less files as possible and build small weight datas `course noone will risk his FC2.0 installation for a mod. So we will see what future will bring us...

MiG29C and A: My first`s "HighPoly" models I builded and I`m very very proud of it. It`s looks much better as stock ones (more details) while having more performance and a better damage model

 

 

I will pack all these fighters into one package- For myself. But I`m not pretty sure if someone will use seperated fighters. So I think I have to describe wich files you need for a single fighter mod. Thistime I have to check and check and check it with FlamingCliffs 2.0 . Sometime I locate some smaller mistakes I have to rapair. I have to controll wich datas FC2.0 still have in CDDS files and wich files I have to give into the Temp folder. A very interesting process ....

All "JetPack`s" in web presentally still available created for FlamingCliffs1.12a so relax please- I`m not a machine. Okay so far- a small overview about my playgrounds. Thanks for reading and supporting

 

My very best wishes,

TOM

Simply beautiful Tom - can't wait to see them in action.

Thanks for your work - i hope you are still enjoying making them?

[zakobi]

How do you add more weapon pylons on the aircrafts? Or maybe the didn't get another pair of pylons? gotta check to be sure :D

[Erdem]

Incredible, I'm waiting for your models :)

[flanker1]

hi tom,

 

congratulations - very nice models.

 

the mig-29 is the best. . . wow, thank you for that.

 

are you still use the ed default skins for her? there was a little bug at her back bulb using this skin for your new model - not matching 100 percently - is it still there or is it solved?

 

the after burner position is still not matching because it´s hardcoded and also not fixable, am i right?

[Mercury]

That F-16 looks sweet. Its not perfect, but the best one I've seen in lockon so far. Will there be any models for external tanks too? Also the Su skins look a lot more dirtier and real.

[Witchking]

Thanks Tomcatz....take ur time...but please if you can give instructions to install those jets seperately in LOFC2, that would really be fantastic. If you get a chance, please upgrade the Su33 as well...it looks hideous compared to all these new models.

[revalence]

I would agree WitchKing. After all these new modifications, and FC 2.0, the Su-33 is the only model that doesn't have a new model (Unless if you didn't use SIMMOD a-10, GYS F-15C, 3G0 Su-27 and TOMCATZ's Mig-29, but that's highly improbable). Compared to all the other flyable and even the AI AIRCRAFT (say the F-18, it looks amazing for AI) it looks like Falcon 4.0 threw up all over it. Or perhaps EECH. Either way, we need to upgrade the Su-33.

 

There are only two types of aircraft — fighters and targets.

[Breakshot]

^^ Indeed!

 

Poor Su-33 needs a facelift, big time! Kinda makes you shy away from flying it because its so ugly compared to other models.... hehe

Hi Tomcatz,

 

thanks for presenting the inside story of your famous JetPack series for LOFC 1.12a. Now, once in a while, I'm asking myself:

 

aaa) Is there the possibility to integrate the F-4F Phantom in your upcoming FC 2 JetPack, without meinit.xml line changes manually?

bbb) As mentioned by several members, the chance to pick and install individual a/c out of the FC2 JetPack?

 

We all know, the USAF has dropped the F-4 Phantom some years ago, but nevertheless in Europe there are still some rhinos doing the daily job!

Yes please Tom make it so we can install seperately,

Many thanks for all your hard work:thumbup:
