franze 196 Posted January 7, 2006 It's looking fine to me, what seems to be the problem? The only thing I notice wrong is the engine intake masks are a little too big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start with the basics, make the external surrounding frame, then make a completely separate 'box' area to connect the various frame parts to. Be sure to keep your vertices arranged in such a fashion that it will be easy to remove and replace them for windows, hatches, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joker18 0 Posted January 23, 2006 cool stuff is a ka-50n planned? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AiRBLaDE 0 Posted January 23, 2006 sweeet   are you going to release this soon ?  I cant wait ! id say for the cockpit, just use the BIS one in their V80. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shashman 0 Posted January 23, 2006 sweeet are you going to release this soon ? I cant wait !id say for the cockpit, just use the BIS one in their V80. That's pointless, unless you fly in 3rd person, and 3rd person flyers suck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted January 23, 2006 yup, 1st person's view is much complicated and realistic, i do love it, it's very hard for newbyes (newbyes of 1st person view) to land with it on aircraft carrier... remmembering my self, first i landed 10-12 times on Kuznetsov from 3rd person's view and only then started practising to do it with 1st person's view... hard and real rulez the world hm... i think it's possible to make a good cockpit for you, you just need proper info and someone to help, like Franze/Footmunch/... P.S. hm... Sharky right? lets throw an eye on the info, maybe some pieces of yammy snack will reach you too... oh, one thing more, do you need videos about Black Shark'y? Databank(or how do you call me...) is back online for the hunt of black sharks... wish me luck to get over 1Gb info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
franze 196 Posted January 23, 2006 Doing a Ka-50 cockpit shouldn't be too hard, it's mostly analog in there with the single TV display and HUD. It's not as bad as a two seater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted January 23, 2006 Sorry i havent been able to do much work on it recently.. work rota's have all changed and have been out a fair bit recently so have had any time realy. so all ive managed to do this week is sort out the wheel well really. Have a fair few pics of the cockpit from the game lomac black shark.. and i trust these are pretty accurate... but any other pics would be great. and maybe a dood tutorial and how to do all the dials in the cockpit would be nice... and maybe how to do a HUD like on the dkm mi-28....... but im doin it... i wont give a release date yet though   any info pics  technical info you guys wanna share Im vulpuscanines@hotmail.com cheers guys   your supports been really usefull If you got any good pics of ka-50n sensors id love to include one in the pack but until then its gonna wait Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted January 24, 2006 hehe, recently i have what you need, whole collection of sensors ever been tested with V-80 program, that means even Ka-50N's, that little ball(radar) over it's main rotor, weapon load outs, drawings, pictures, oh my god, even detailed cockpits... just need to download some videos about it and i'll send you everything... P.S. you need video from MAKS 2005 airshow? there's Ka-50s/52s flying in formation and demonstrating what manuevers they can pull out... if you need this one too, then i made over 1Gb of info about Black Sharl! Edited: that video is all aircrafts presentation from 2005 Maks, so it's big(699Mb), everything i'll pack up, expecpt this video in rar and upload both as different files, so that that big one you could download seperately, but that doesn't mean that you will have every video of it, some smaller ones will be in rar, with pdfs... but there's something i want to ask, should i download ALL(as much as i can get) videos?

joker18 0 Posted January 24, 2006 hey wolfbite, i have don your home work i have pics from nose/sensors for the ka-50n what you think about the idea to make the ka50n first to have a more advanced counterpart to all the longbows and comanches out there? i have also a friend in russia. this guy sitting on the source...he knows nearly everything about that beauty:D sorry for bad english joker @gedis that video would be cool. where we can get it?

xnodunitx 0 Posted January 25, 2006 Oh will you be making this version? http://avia.russian.ee/air/maks/ka-50.jpg As for the lighting,there is sharp and smooth edges,for sharp you just highlight the faces and press U,for smooth press I,it can make a HUGE difference in the way things appear,flat surfaces should always be sharp,such as the cockpit pieces up there at the front,btw excellent work,I'm impressed with the model,I think it looks superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted January 26, 2006 Here's a little update. am workin on the right side specifically the gun cavity mounting. i made it difficult for myself.   theres things everywhere and vertexes keep goin crazy with the madness im dong.. but im getting there. after this its gonna be the cockpit and then a cleanup of the model in general. and then hopefully it will just be the programming after that. mmm fun. An comments insults cash donations flowers or proposals please feel free to post em  P.s oh yeah xnodunitx i will be doing the the ka-50n im not sure what ill do.. itl either be in the same pack as the ka-50... or it wont Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gedis 0 Posted January 26, 2006 Ka-50nim? what the hell is this? as far as i know there are Ka-50, Ka-50N and Ka-50Sh... looking good, keep it up... i'm still downloading 2 videos, so you will have to wait for info... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted January 27, 2006 She's now armed and jezus christ i wish i had known about the remove face button stupid me.. man it would have made it much easier/faster... total arse buggery.... have also given the rotors a slight bend downwards now to make the cockpit look less like a cavity i guess. ...... but not tonight.. im off to play with franze's Kiowa warrior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfbite 8 Posted January 30, 2006 Okay.. over past couple of days... ive started on the cockpit have got an ejector seat ( I have modified evgeni's ejector seat from hi ka-52 and aded on various bits thet were missing.(am currently seeking permision to use ejector seat) from studying photo's of the ka-50's in action i have decided not to put handles on the airframe. as they all fold away. and ive made many asthetic changes and sorted out the faces that dissapear at different angles..... i was just wondering though... how many faces should i be aiming for??? im currently on 5022. but im basically done. is that too many??

Jahve 0 Posted January 30, 2006 No offence, but why invent the wheel twice? Wouldnt it be better modifying the BIS "V80"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm...I'd have to say that would depend on what all there is..I cracked open franze's helicopter and the A had around 8000 faces,but after taking off the extra weapons it was around 6000 or so..I'd say unless you have multiple weapons,try to go for the 4000-6000 mark,generally speaking helicopters arent things you see on the field in thsi game as in by the dozens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
