Military Aircraft Modeling

Sun Jul 13, 2003 7:15 am by hornetsting1

Just and idea to throw around.

Is there anyone out there that could possibly give a try at modeling some of the current real world military aircraft.
Such as.
F-14 Tomcat
F/A-18 Hornet
A-10 Warthog
JSF
F-22 Raptor
F-15 Eagle
F-16 Falcon
etc...

I think it would be a very cool thing to see in the freelancer universe. Also very retro.
Maybe some reflective/refractive skins?
If anyone is intrested I have some 3d models of them, just don't have the time, knowledge, and software to import them into Freelancer.
Thanks to any who are intrested.

Well, that sounds cool. I've already started a thread on ship ideas taken from anime, and one of the big ones was incorporating Valkyries (From Macross/Robotech) into FL. They look A LOT like current fighter jets. I'm interested in that look, myself =D.

There have to be thousands of models flying around. I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to find one.

That would be wierd to see a jet in space... But it would be cool.

I don't have the tallent to do this either, but somebody will.

For the Valkyries, modern fighter models would be useful. The VF-1 is basically an F-14 with modified air intakes that are more similar to the F/A-18's and with rectangular exhaust nozzles rather than round.

I can't help with the modding, but I do like the idea of doing modern fighters (add those with an Earth system mod, and make the fighters available only on those planets, and it'd be an interesting little system).

I've wanted to see the F22 Raptor and A10 Warthog in this game too, that would be absolutely sick. Imagine if a good chaingun could be modded in as well.

The F-18 and F-22 specificaly would fit in perfectly with a space sim, they just look like a ship meant for space travel, I too would love to see em in FL. Id try it meself but my coding skills in FL are somewhat...well...shall we say "lacking"

Oh, and the JSF is no longer called JSF. Its now the F-31 Multirole Fighter/Bomber

You could mod in a chaingun. Think about it. You take a standard gun, edit the effects.ini or whichever one controls the shape, color, and actual sprite (dunno if the lasers and such are sprites), and make the beam thin, yellow, with no visibile head, and then alter the weapon_equip.ini so that it fires really fast, and change whatever else you want, like the sounds, and voila. Chaingun. I was actually thinking about doing this. But back to the topic, yes, jets in space = coolness.
