<>Crippler<> 0 Posted June 7, 2003 Hey Me and Nolips71 have released a beta version of our Hawker Hunter the download link is HERE Oh- I forgot to put in the readme that you can find the planes under West>Royal Air Force Please post any comments in this thread and they will be greatly appreciated Note: Please keep in mind that this is a Beta release and so things like the textures etc will probably be improved by the final release Thanks, Crippler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
<>Crippler<> 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Heres a really quick demo mission download here just to show the power of a bunch of hunters- they might not attack very well on the first pass, but once they get into it, it really shows off the power of the 4 Aden Cannons on each aircraft P.S- mission doesnt have beginning or end or goals or anything- just fire it up in the mission editor and watch those hunters go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Nice to see another British aircraft  I tried it and found the following bugs/errors : -The engine sound just doesn't sound right.One of the distinguishing features of the Hawker Hunter is the low pitch whine of it's Sapphire engine.Obviously it must be hard finding a good sound sample so all I can say is good luck finding a better one  -The textures seem too clean, no weathering or panel lines or rivets,etc...Could do with more details, although this is a BETA so this will change (I hope ) -There's no sound when u fire the 3ins -The dials are all white and the cockpit lacks detail -The aircraft is too low (Stood next to it and I was taller) -I found it quite hard to take off,finally managing to rotate at 200 km/h  -Aden tracers originate at right wing and right of tail -The Mk-82s look too big and need texturing -The rocket pods need detailing and better texturing -There aren't any animations (flaps,control surfaces,etc...) -A gear retraction/extension sound would be nice -Various camo schemes would be nice especially desert as quite a few Middle Eastern air forces used the Hunter (Hehe...an Iraqi AF one would be fun ) Just my observations.By all means I am not trying to bring it down or anything, keep up the good work,good job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HotShot 0 Posted June 8, 2003 I know i should have asked, but i've had no problem before , but i added a mirror for the plane on OFPBase.com. Direct link to it here: Hawker Hunter BETA (900Kb) Anyway good work on that. Textures are a bit blocky, but you said that they may be improved on final release.

<>Crippler<> 0 Posted June 8, 2003 Thanks for the feedback guys much apprecitated I'll get to work on those textures as soon as I can. How would you suggest fixing the aircraft being too low? -should we make the gear longer, or make the whole aircraft bigger? Thanks Oh- and thanks for the mirror Hotshot Crippler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted June 8, 2003 I suggest bigger (and maybe sightly more detailed) landing gear as well as perhaps making the main structure deeper.Hope you manage to find good sound samples I also read that the Swiss AF Hunters were Maverick capable and the Omanis installed Sidewinders on theirs. Good luck m8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nolips71 0 Posted June 8, 2003 weve had a lot of problems with the general handling and the gear of the hunter i will try to get this fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nolips71 0 Posted June 10, 2003 ok i think cripper has asked footmunch for help on the custom gear because we cannot get it 2 work. ive made a lightning http://nolips71.150m.com/frightning.jpg copy and paste. cockpit looks dodgy because of double sided polygons i think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Gripe 0 Posted June 10, 2003 Good model nolips i'd love to fly one of these across nogova in about 0.2secs!! Just a few thoughts though, (gratuitous plane porn!!) - The fuselage looks a bit too long, it should be more compact - I agree about the cockpit it should be more of a 'bubble' rather than streamlined - The fuselage seems narrower (with respect to its vertical dimensions) than the real beast  Hope that helps nolips! Carry on the good work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nolips71 0 Posted June 11, 2003 hmm i reckon your right about the fuselag being to long. its an F6 i will look into it tonight thanks for the feedback Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shashman 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Looking Cool ingame, i still want a Redversion remember the RedArrows? ;) The Red Arrows never used the Hawker Hunter. In 1955, 54 Sqn. put together a 4 ship team known as the Black Knights, then in 1956 111 Sqn. became the official RAF aerobatic team using 5 gloss black Hunters.

I think he may be getting confused with the BAe Hawk, doesnt look anywhere near similar, but the name is kinda close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nolips71 0 Posted June 12, 2003 well evis you should know what they look like where you live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sxep 0 Posted June 12, 2003 Oh sorry, right it wasn´t the redarrows sorry. but i remember a red hunter in some old plane movie hmmm... Well a black one would be also cool then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Footmunch 0 Posted June 13, 2003 There were red hunter's, but they were the "Red Devils", and were the Belgian display team: As for other aerobatic teams, the RAF, RN, Swiss, Swedish and Indian aerobatic teams all used Hunters - I guess it was a nice plane to fly. Here's a pic of the Black Hunter: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
