Yak-23

[mechastalin 0]

I have started work on one of Russia's earliest jet aircraft.It still needs some good textures and alot of model work,And can anyone help me find a rear profile shot? I have no idea what the back of it looks like.Espescially the jet engines.

Oh crap my bad,Wasnt paying attention to where I was last.

Looks very nice so far, good thing about such early planes is it is quite easy to apply a roundel system since most countries using it had the 'silver skin'.

Thanks for all those great pictures,I'm still a bit puzzled about how the landing gear folds into the fuselage.But I should at least be able to finish the engine and back now.

[belgerot 33]

Glad they helped atleast a little. Hope everything works out well, especially with the landing gear.

So far it looks great! This would be very fun to fly around.

Gunna finish up the front a bit tonight,I'll have some pics.

Edit:Can anyone direct me to where I can find a tutorial on how to make transparant cockpit windows?

[Guest The Cobra]

Make a transparent texture for the windows, and then apply it on the places for the windows

Bah,Addon was lost in an HD crash.So it won't be finished any time soon.

Damn, gutted mate. I know how you feel.

And I suspect most people on the Forums do.

At least you've reminded me to backup my stuff now...

i'm sory for the file lost mechastalin...but think this way...if u made it ok on the 1st try, imagine how great it will be at 2nd!!

i presume u were still working the main lod, so maybe it worth a (re)try

think positive!

[mechastalin 0]

Nah it's no problem,Was starting to loose interest anyways.

Yeah,I think the hardest part about doing an addon is not doing the addon itself but not loosing interest in it.
