504MrWolf Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 Is anyone working on a E-3D or E-3F AWAC ? The Dev's are looking to add these models in to the next patch for use in the Royal Air Force (8 Sqn) and the French Air Force. Please please please some one have a crack at them :) as im building skins for them. The engines have been re-fitted on the D and F also ELINT carrying cheek blisters on the F/B and wingtip pods (ECM?) on the D. Regards Dave www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
Trident Posted August 9, 2005 Posted August 9, 2005 The pods on the E-3D are ESM IIRC. As for the E-3F, their ESM systems are a relatively recent addition, so depending on ED's plans for the timeline in future products it might be a good idea to save oneself that effort :) This is actually a case where ED could speed things up by releasing their existing model. Alternately, they could ask the modeller to provide an E-3A/C variant of his work too (it mostly just the engine nacelles anyway).
504MrWolf Posted August 9, 2005 Author Posted August 9, 2005 Aha thanks for this information Trident. So what is needed is new engines for the E-3F and the wingtip pods for E-3D the cheek blisters not in the time frame of lockon so we can forget about them. www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
phlerp Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 I know the guy who made the E-3 model for Lomac. He and I have been working on the Viggen and Gripen, primarily for MSFS, but we thought it might be a good idea to include them in Lomac too. The problem is we haven't been able to contact anyone at ED. Our original contact hasn't answered any of our mails. So if anyone at ED read this, modding the E-3 would be a piece of cake. Just give us someone to contact.
Trident Posted August 25, 2005 Posted August 25, 2005 Apparently they want you to just start working and post a WIP here on the forum. Once the model is finished, just send it to them and see what they think about it. That's how all the other modellers, (Mig-Mag, MBot and several Russians) have done AFAIK. So, get cracking ;) EDIT: The unanswered e-mails may be connected to a recent technical problem that affected other modellers too. Should be fixed now.
504MrWolf Posted August 25, 2005 Author Posted August 25, 2005 you can go through me on this E3 editing phlerp i have direct contact with the DEV's i beleive my MSN, ICQ or email details are all included in my forum profile. www.VVS504.co.uk www.lockonskins.co.uk
