Darkhorse 1-6 16 Posted March 21, 2011 @SGT M - The model(s) he is using (Atleast the models he's releasing initially) are Franze's ArmA 1 models. If I read this thread correctly it will include both versions of the super hornet, so essentially both the variant that PRACS has, and the variant that ANZAC has. Also, If you go back through the thread, it does have folding wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No idea why. So thanks for making me aware of this. And also I guessed these would be Franze's models, and hey it's always good to have several skins right? PS I have the same IE problem with youtubes login page, I can watch video's alright but can't even load this sign in or sign up pager.:confused: O well definitely the wrong thread to bring that up lol.

Gu^n3r 10 Posted March 21, 2011 If you want a C variant of the F18, the FDF mod just released with one in it, maybe ask them for its use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gu^n3r 10 Posted March 22, 2011 Yeah tested that out this morning. Its pretty well done. yeah it really is well done, just its lack of air to ground ordinance annoys me lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGT M 10 Posted March 22, 2011 yeah it really is well done, just its lack of air to ground ordinance annoys me lol Yeah well the Finnish Air Force (I'm talking the real life Finnish Air Force) never use it as a F/A-18 (hence its in game designation F-18C Air Superiority Fighter). But yeah like your wish for weapons my wish was for foldable wings, but once again the Finnish have no need for them as they don't have carriers. The real FDF F-18's probably do have foldable wings but the FDF mod team didn't bother (for obvious reasons). Oh well, all our wishes will be granted with Meatballs redo of Franzes planes eh!

Please note that carrier usage is not the only good reason to have foldable wings. Narrow fighter caves are also a good reason. The F/A-18 of the swiss airforce do have foldable wings exactly for this reason. Just as side info. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatball0311 79 Posted March 22, 2011 Good morning to all! I have a little treat for you. Please excuse the quality of the videos... I am new to the process of making videos, converting them to mpeg, and uploading to youtube. So the video quality sucks, but you will be able to see the F/A-18F flying and landing (my landing sucks but hey I got her back on the ground in one piece) I am getting no errors in game so far. There are a few scripts I need to correct, but they are not needed, so in all I just need to clean her up a bit. Then I need to send her off to get her weapons!!! And I think you are all familiar with the person that will do her weapon config... :) There are nine videos... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-42D5JoV9j4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_bWfa2x3Do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WFRrcZoeK4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i4Y7DCILAo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJinqGFPjBE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Mt3NvlPLZ4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gya9ufUA6pg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GNcfV4oq2M http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15DGR-Yl7Kc ---------- Post added at 07:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:40 AM ---------- I found a really cool video converter and will make better videos.. will post soon.

Lastuslustus 10 Posted March 22, 2011 This plane looks really amazing. Good to see you work that fast. Can't wait to fly around with it. Do you plan to add some external fuel tanks? Would be cool. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Derbysieger 11 Posted March 22, 2011 I can recommend VirtualDub to convert your videos. You might need to download some additional codecs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meatball0311 79 Posted March 22, 2011 I can recommend VirtualDub to convert your videos. You might need to download some additional codecs though. Thanks I was looking into that... my antivirus popped up a warning when I went to that site... do you use it? Also, can anyone recommend what resolution should I convert it too? I am using FRAPS to record the video... please any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am using FRAPS to record the video... please any suggestions? The latest version of Windows Movie maker - as basic as it is - does everything you need to edit and upload to youtube. Its even got a button for the upload. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derbysieger 11 Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) I'm using it for 2 years now and I never had any problems. I usually use divx HD codec. Resolution is 1920x1080 Processor usage goes up to 70-80% with VirtualDub but it's very fast with hyperthreading.
