F/A-18X Black Wasp WIP Thread

[Almaril 10]

Are those GBU-39 SDB:s in the pods with the AMRAAMs?

[saul 24]

Yes, yes they are.

[CyclonicTuna 87]

Coming together nicely guys!! Great work :D

[randomslap 27]

Just wondering, will you guys do something like this to the Black Wasp? (1 weapon pod under each wing)

/

EDIT: Lol nvm... those are fuel pods, but I still think it would be a good idea to put weapon pods under the wings.

Sounds good...

Really cool features and screens ( any info on the carrier? )

BTW, are you gonna include HARM missiles? Now that other mods will include radars, would be cool to have some ( to make a proper interaction you could create a module to "designate" certain vehicle as radar ).

[CyclonicTuna 87]

That's an SDB modelled to perfection if I ever saw one :p Question, are the wings of the SDB animated aswell? Like a deployment animation? Would be really cool. Keep it up guys. So pumped for this one :D!!

Saul,

Really amazing job keep up the great work. If i may ask when might be expected release date? Our unit would love to give this a run.

Thanks

Another question, will there be a version that doesn't use the darkish paint? I kinda find a one tone sleek version sexier. Pretty much like the same color as the pic posted above by randomslap.

[saul 24]

@eVCySkul378488Ve = We are planning a beta release somewhere around the end of the competition so stay tuned.

@DarkSide = Yes we are planning one other skin for the F18x which will be a more generic U.S. Navy Skin but it will not be available till after the competition.

[John Spartan 89]

@Forum Moderator's - please close this tread since project has been moved to "RELEASED ADDONS" category. Thank's.

Thank you.

I recently started fooling around in Cinema 4D (C4D). Its pretty expensive software... [MOD EDIT]  There are also tons of tutorials to be found on the internet. You should maybe start by checkint out some of those.

Cant wait to see what you guys can do with an aircraft carrier seeing what you can do with planes.
