Well, I take the impertinence for a minor criticism, since no one else seems to do it:
Jan, big respect, but IMO the afterburner looks too pink, ironically the same for the HUD (says me, pink HUD fetishist). Most shots show a rather greenish to green with reddish pink glow from the front. Not talking about inside here.

That is what Red1 once called a āback handed complimentā, ;).Well, not meant to insult and I may be wrong, as usual.
Looking forward! -
Great looking model mate the cockpit has been upgraded nicely! I wonder if we can get those details into the flyable cockpit?
Love your work as always although not sure about the coloured HUD and afterburner.

Some references for my previous comment:
Dawn.
And lot of closeups as well, high rez as well, Polish and USAF F-16s, at 04.00 and from 10.00 onward you can see CJs close up. Nothing pink there.
My point or interpretation of videos seen:
The USAF rather brownish to black tinted HUDs from the outside front rather appear colourlessā¦not speaking of CGs there, Block 50/52s.
The F-16s with inside pink to brown pink tinted HUDs rather appear bright greenish on many videos on the outside front.
You can also check that for French Rafales e.g., which have pink tinted HUD overlays.Cheers

HUD is WIP. And each block will have its own HUD color version, as per rl.
ABā¦ wait and seeā¦

more references for falcon teamā¦;)

more and moreā¦:drink:

These are not necessary on this thread.

Agree.;)
Maybe let mine stay as they are there to prove a specific point and show that specific point. -
The wait is just killing me over hereā¦

Stay alive! Janhas has done this for years like three or four years to upgrade his F-16 models.
You might need to wait for years. Just relax and wait. -
Small update. I have finished the top skin and basic tail skin. I also fixed some minor issues that come to light when skinning the jet. Next fix is the LEFās. Itās a small issue to fix but Iām now looking/testing if I can build the bending wing. If one of my two ideas about the wing work I can build a bending wing without gaping splits between the sections while bending. The question of ācan/does the model have a bending wingā was asked so many timesā¦

Many thanks for update!!!
I really hope that you will provide us with a good skin PSD template!Best regards,

Richly modelled parts (cockpit, undercarriage, etc.), skins and now, wings that flex in a smooth, realistic way.
Itās going to be hard to concentrate in the actual flying without staring in awe at all of those features every once in a whileā¦
:woohoo: :bowd:

There is a delay with the modelā¦ I run into a Nodes limit while Iām in the final stages of the new F-16 model (adding the main gear). When I try to add polyās that will kick the amount of nodes above 100k and save it LE becomes unresponsiveā¦ I will need shave at least 22358 nodes to get below 100k. So unfortunately there will be a delayā¦

Hi Jan,
Iām not near a computer, but hereās some things I can suggest.
Make sure Max nodes is set high enough for the model.
Make sure there are not too many nodes in any single subtree (less than around 4,000?)
When adding the last bit of nodes, use block copy and block paste.Are you not using 3dsMax?

Hi PumpyHead,
I already did increase the HDR and adding parts in blocks that kick the normals count above 100k and saving is no problem. But the nodesā¦ I can get it at 99500+ but getting it above 100k is a no joyā¦ HD lights blinks in a regular pattern and LE stops responding. I think there is some hard limit for the nodes (maybe LE issue?). I already noticed the poly limit per subtree. Thanks for offering possible solutions! Sadly none solve the issue.
Iām only using 3dsMax for building the model but the actual model is build in LE, that way I can optimize the model much better.
-
Is there anyway to export the entire model first and then make the optimisations?
When I get some time, Iāll try to look into the issue. Sorry I have no ready solutions at the moment .Sent from my HTC6545LVW using Tapatalk

Update time!
I have managed to get the amount of nodes to 99901, made a lot of small fixes and added a new SniperXR pod and the HTS. The old sniper model was not correct and it also meant I needed to create a new skin for it. Iām have decided to add a better JHMCS helmet model. The current model is a pre-LVN2 model from 2008. I donāt have much polyās to play with. Old JHMCS is 1060 and with 99 left I will rebuild some pipes and cables from 8 sided to 6 or 7 sided cables. I hope I can free a total of 2000/2500 for the helmet. That helmet will be the final part that will be changed and then I can start building the wing model and LOD 2, 3 and 4. Those are much easier to build since the textures are done and deleting parts is easyā¦ I will create a more orange flame version (you will have a choice) and I also will release the model with three texture sets. The next version will be the Have Glass 2 157th Fighter Squadron, the other one will be a mix of 422 TES āGreen Batsā and 16 WPS āTomahawksā. I can do this because the entire tails are switched.
