Hudson 0 Posted February 28, 2003 Were working hard on it, were not setting any dates but its getting close. Running out of ideas to add. Here are a couple screenies to show off what we have been doing... Screen 1 Screen 2 Screen 3 Much thanks to pennywise for all the help he has been giving me with the scripting and cpp file. Should be finished sometime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Military aircraft are painted in flat colors, not luminecent pearl paintjobs like your hot rod honda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hellfish6 7 Posted February 28, 2003 Maybe he means the blue flame that is caused by the afterburner? Looks wonderful, Hudson! Can't wait to fly them - and I don't even like planes! (And thanks for the work on the proxies - the F/A-18 looks much better now that the weapon loadout looks realistic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Koolkid101 0 Posted March 1, 2003 Waaaa you hate the grey version, I hate the brown and blue version the greys the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdog~ 0 Posted March 1, 2003 They look just a little too bright, and a little too clean... Otherwise I like 'em. ^ disregard this. after seeing second screen it looks better ^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shashman 0 Posted March 1, 2003 I think Hudson released the blue and brown camo ones cos they look pretty cool and for people that like their planes to be all colourful and pretty In RL those are aggressors used to simulate potential enemies in training, hence the SU-27 style blue and the Mig-21/23 style brown. I believe there is only one squadron in the US Navy that performs this task.They are based at NAS Yuma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2stoned2kil- 0 Posted March 1, 2003 Well maybe i cant explain what is little bit wrong with the grey color but could u guess when its getting released (a month or 3 weeks , something like that) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2stoned2kil- 0 Posted March 1, 2003 I like this grey more : Look here ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanuckle_00 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Well, Hudson just posted on ofp.info. It's me again guys. I hope that you like all the features but there's just one feature that I'm disappointed isn't in the pack and thats the working gps in the cockpit from that dkm commanche 1.1.

Chomps 0 Posted March 21, 2003 I think by "shine" he meant "shading". In real life, the grey color is just the same flat color paint, but because of real-life lighting, there are lighter and darker parts. Since the 3D engine in OFP does not automatically handle this well, having a flat grey texture looks unrealistically flat. By adding artificial lighting/shading into the texture as in the screenshot posted above and other addons like BAS Littlebirds and the Lavos armored vehicles (forgot the name) it gives it a better look. It is not perfect because it is a static texture and the lighted spot on the texture may very well be on the side of the plane facing away from the light, but if done subtely, this error is not noticible but the shading is visible and it turns out seeming more realistic. However, the textures you have now in my opinion are quite good, and this addon will rock regardless of this issue, just thought I would throw in my two cents.

Chomps 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Another question... Do you have plans to have an option to add custom textures to part of the plane, like maybe the number on the side, the texture of the tail fins (is that the word for it?) or maybe for the pilot's name on the side? I mean allowing mission creators to specify the texture portion in the init line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There IS a green shine on that photo, on the bottom :] Anyway.. it looks great, but true are some statements that it looks to flat and too clean... And surely is to bright, look at the bottom of it, it looks like of being painted with self-luminant paint :] Try to darken it and add some clever shadows :] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Landwarrior87 0 Posted March 21, 2003 Now that i See that Grey Version im starting to look forward to this addon, becaus the Blue and Yellow / Brown Textures really annoyed me, ive never seen an F-18 like that. But now im thinking this is good... cant wait for it!! Now if we can just get a decent F16 (Loadouts & Animations) Scorpio's F16 model is good, it just lacks the options it could have that resistance offers.
