Cockpit Update

2001 Mar 06 – Cockpit Update:

‘Slider’ sends along an update of his progress importing the F-15E cockpit to JF18:

“Work continues on the F-15 cockpit, We have remapped 90% of the buttons so they are clickable in game, this will be complete shortly. We’ve imported the damage model so when hit, the F-15 doesn’t turn into an F/A-18 hulk and also done work on the canopy reflections so they display correctly, eliminating the nasty clear band at the struts”.

“Also in the works but some way off, a complete F-14D front seat cockpit awaits in 3D Studio max format, just need our programmers to come up with a converter so it can be changed to 3dg format. Be cautioned – this may never materialise as the 3dg format is overwhelmingly complex…” – Slider

2001 Mar 06 – F-14 Update:

‘Blue Knight’ has now enabled 8 human capable F-14’s of different paint schemes in Multiplay, with your own favourite scheme selectable.

As for all F-14, a take-off from a carrier, deck landing and air refuelling are possible.

2001 Mar 06 – TSH Announcement:

URGENT! We need anyone experienced with 3D artwork, specifically someone who thinks they can help us crack the 3DG files in F/A-18.

We are looking at some seriously nice add-ons but without some very concerted effort this may never materialise. I am not talking just any 3D stuff either. I am talking about detailed and superior knowledge of 3D models and files.

The 3DG files in this sim are in a proprietary format and we need help to get at them. If you think you have the right stuff for this than e-mail me here – Hornit
