Mano, have in mind that the forward 2 bays hosting the AIM-7’s or -120’s are looking inboard. Don’t know how difficult is this to fix on the model. Take a look:

really nice!

Hmmm It was one of the first things i noticed but as you said i dont know how easy is gonna be to re-model actually the whole front-bottom area of the of the model.
Stingray. I have some ideas but as i said on the first post im not a 3d modeller actually im going through Trial and Error proccess. i will check some ideas though i have! -
Found this in F-15 dat file… If someone can translate it in plain English would be awesome lol

animIntakeRamp1Rate 11.0It is in English!!! HAHAHA
Pretty sure it’s referring to animation, what Table and Rate, I do not know. AFM???
EDIT: okay, plain English. there’s nothing plain about English….lol

Ok declaring exactly the same in the dat file the Air ramps work as in f-15. meaning depending your AOA the thing is are they doing this in the real plane (on f-4) or they depending on speed and if so how we can declare it correctly?
-
I am pretty sure the F-15 ramp cants downward for subsonic speed and then straightens up the faster it goes. I would guess that air flow intake is greater for faster speeds to insure compressibility of the air flow doesn’t result in a stall of the engine. It would would also guess the F-4 intake ramp presses to its outward most position in subsonice speeds and as speed increases to supersonic, the ramp depresses. That would be my best guess.
The flight model gurus in BMS should be able to explain the code line better but I suspect it relates to speed of the aircraft, perhaps with two or four animations that get executed at points along the airspeed curve of the aircraft. Not sure which dof that would relate to but perhaps the code reads the dof and relates automatically to some percentage of animation. I would also guess you can edit at least some of those numbers, if you know what they represent, to better match the proper animation and geometry you are looking for.
Empirically, I would also look for some other already developed models in BMS - like the MiG-29 - it has a variable intake geometry. Maybe the F-111. Really any supersonic a/c should have something - expect perhaps the f22 which has some really powerful engines and probably has oversized intakes anyway to avoid and issues with compromising stealth. So, inspecting other FMs you may find differences that will point to some acceptable edits. Really, you might just trying changing the numbers in the FM and see what they do for you - perhaps hitting on something that gives you a desired result.

The tables take two key values, AOA and Mach
The table is arranged like so (it sucks because it has to be on one line)
[AOA Breakpoint count],[AOA BP1],[AOA BP2],[Mach Breakpoint Count],[Mach BP1],[MACH BP2],[DATA AOA1/M1],[DATA AOA2/M1],[DATA AOA1/M2],[DATA AOA2/M2]So you might use it like so:
1,0,2,0,.5,0,11 AOA BP count
0 AOA BP value (doesn’t matter, because there’s only 1)
2 Mach BP count
0 Mach BP value
.5 Mach BP value
0 dof value used at AOA 0’ and 0 Mach
1 dof value used at AOA 0’ and .5 Mach -
Hi Manos,
great model.
Do you know we now have dimmable position lights in BMS 4.33?
You can have a look at the AV-8B…Would be cool if your F-4 can have this also.
Cheers

Main antennas for AUP added…

beautiful, great job Manos.
will you unwrap in a single texure?
cheers

I dont know yet i will try and see… i said many times im quite newbie in all this. I go by various tutorials and videos and… and… and… so we will see. I need a good tutorial actually for this. And i need a good after burner…

thanks, have fun and congratulations for your results

I have posted a tutorial for a superb afterburner. I’ll search it for you.

Chocks Switch and some more Antennas for AUP added

Hi Manos,
will you also include the AUP (Peace Ikarus 2000) cockpit with the MFCD on the left side of the front cockpit. Two are installed in the rear Cockpit.
Your F4-AUP looks great.Wolfgang (Bazi)

Mano, r u sure you have not messed with 3D in the past?? Maybe in an previous life??
HAHAHAH
Top Work m8!

Look i had worked before With Autocad mainly in school (interior designing) and done some 3d work in 3ds for some friend that wanted to make an open space bar in Hungary. Therefore in Falcon modeling no i didnt had a clue i just move as i said trial and error… many saved models and checking and again from the start… Thanks for your good and kind words
-
Great work there Mano. BRAVO!!!
Keep on it.

He said back on page one he didn’t think he could do it, so I would guess no, you’ll have to find someone else to make a pit for the new model.
