Omega Oska Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 I have left the community for quite some time. Now I remember that Strikemax was working on a high poly model of Su-27. Anyone knows how is it going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gustav Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 ED said they wanted to do the SU-27 themselves so i guess he cancelled his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra360 Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 One would have thought they would have released it in 1.1 or 1.11, if Strikemax kept working on it we would have had it a long time ago. I would be nice to have in 1.2 but for now we can just use the high res loman skins which do the job nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperKungFu Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 This is what TS-77strikemax told me Hi Azn, Sorry for letting you down guys, but since ED want to model their own new Flanker, I've decided to stop further development of my model. It takes huge amount of time, especially at this finishing up phase. And to Mig Mag Awesome Job. Thanks StrikeMax But i assume he is still working on it a little for Fs2004. Yes The plan for FS9 is there, but im seeking the assistance of some one experienced in virtual cockpits .If I have to model the 3d cockpit then this is another project by itself. And here is the latest picture from Strikemax that was posted over at the ubi forum on oct 19: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britgliderpilot Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 One would have thought they would have released it in 1.1 or 1.11, if Strikemax kept working on it we would have had it a long time ago. I wish ED would have accepted it to give themselves a little head start, but beautiful as that model was, it still needed plenty of work. Included in the 3D model has to be all the animations and damage. This stuff in itself is a major undertaking . . . . I don't know if Strikemax had made a start on it, but can you imagine modelling the cockpit as seen from outside, the details of the flaps and undercarriage doors, the jagged edges when things get blown off . . . . . ? It was a beautiful model, and I look forward to it in FS9 - but there was a LOT of work to do before it would have a viable Lomac model. The other thing that occurs to me is that ED *may* (this is speculation, you understand) be wanting to do a 3D model at the detail of the Su25T. Can you imagine a 50k poly Su27 model with all the internal damage detail? Mmmmn . . . . . *dribbles* . . . . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/britgliderpilot/BS2Britgliderpilot-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pay what I payed for FC just for that alone. As already mentioned in this thread, the Su-27 will always be associated with ED and it is suprising that they have not modeled it as good as say... the MiG-29, F/A-18 and Su-25T. I remember when I first played the lockon demo in November 03 and the MiG-29 3D model blew me away. Someone gave that model alot of TLC and I would have liked to see if the same quality was on all flyables at the time of release but Ubi rushed them. I think the AFM Su-27/33 should be on high priority for ED but seeing as it's too late into the overall project at this stage I guess we can only hope for it in the next project. Oh, just a thought a AFM Su-33 would make for some very interesting carrier landings. *drools at the thought* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone gave that model alot of TLC and I would have liked to see if the same quality was on all flyables at the time of release but Ubi rushed them. IIRC, the concern was more with code functionality being hurried than 3D models coming up to Lomac release - if it was, then we should at least have had WIPs to have completed by now. And seeing as they already had servicable models from Flanker 2 . . . . But I absolutely agree that a new and sexy Su27 would be fantastic.

SuperKungFu Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 Yea 1.2 don't really interest me with the Ka-50. I will still buy it though since it improves other things...but if ED improves the flanker models, i would easily pay $50 or more for it. (think about it ED) the flanker is the backbone of the game...it should at least perform and look the best/accurate. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504Goon Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 When i saw the thread that we can import 3d stuff into lomac, i suddently got (again) really interested in Strikemax's project.. what's going on with it atm?:) 504th CO http://www.vvs504.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrikeMax Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am excited I didn't believe that they have released the 3dmax plugin. Downloading right now. Luckily I am using 3dmax v7 Its true that I have stopped working on the model for a very long time, but its never too late and i Know where the Backup CD is ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chennuts Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Congrats on the successful integration, StrikeMax. I know there's still work to be done, but I bet it's nice finally seeing that model in game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burner_Tbird2 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 StrikeMax, Could you post the steps you went through to replace the model using the new LOMAC Tool for MAX -> LOM conversion. The included readme leaves me guessing. Thanks :D BTW your model is the HEAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrikeMax Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 ahaha! very nice work strike. Does this mean you are going to pick up where you left off? Yes mate. As I said earlier I've been wishing for this plugin for long time. Now I have the motive and I will finish it. StrikeMax, Could you post the steps you went through to replace the model using the new LOMAC Tool for MAX -> LOM conversion. The included readme leaves me guessing. Thanks :D BTW your model is the HEAT I know what ur talking about, a lot of guess work. The most important thing for you to know is that for some flyables there are NO FILES TO REPLACE!. Just creat your .lom file and put it in the shapes directory. You have to name your file after the "Master" .cmd file of the flyable. For ex. for the su-27 the major .cmd file is su-27.cmd so I simply created su-27.lom abd added it to the folder. That took me a while to figure out;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
