Sanders Smokewinder 9000-5 / 9000-6
-
Hi Gizemkar,
Nice model. You can check on Ikaros theater / database / sms / weapon loads / files, I’ve added the pods using a modified AIM-9 for now (JanHas also has the pods on list) so you can discover the data you need to also model this.
I’ve also separated the demo bird FM, selectable through f4patch, in order for the user to select the smoke coming from engine (normal config) or through the 2 pods on the wingtips. This is however a hack just for the eye-candy of this, taking videos / photos until a more proper and permanent solution is implemented some day from devs.
In real these pods are start smoking with master arm > arm and weapon pickle, but I know some older version just had a basic addon control panel attached to the glareshield to enable smoke.
BTW, the pitot on the bottom of the body is angled and not like in your model. What this practically means, if you decide to go 100% realistic model/3D-wise, is that you need 2 separate models for the pods, one for the right wingtip ONLY and one for the left. These can be configured easily with bmsrack and weapon loads so to match proper positions of the correct pod.
Using only 1 model for both pods is not possible to correctly place the second pod in the proper position, you will always have a pod with the pitot facing down (as it should be) while the other will have the pitot up, like your pictures, since the weapon is rotating along the pylon/hardpoint z; axis.
I can show you detailed pics of the pods if you need some extra help on such details.

Raptor thanks for valuable information. You are right. May be i must break Realism until devs. Changes somethings for that.
I’m glad for Detailed pics of the pod. That be nice idea for developing to model. -
awesome :headb:

You can see the angle of the bottom sensor on the first shot.

Raptor Thanks so much for this great details. I will fix Pitot and some details soon.

Wow - those are some really crude/draggy fasteners attaching the fins! Perhaps flush-fitting fasteners aren’t quite as strong as they need to be to keep the fins on? Also, I wonder why they don’t just weld the fins onto those angles… unless they keep the angles bolted in place at all times, and use the hex bolts/nuts to take the fins off.
…I find the fin assembly of that dispenser incredibly crude - we would be capable of making that in our facility. It’s not to knock our company, but it’s just surprising to see the mundane incorporated into something we’ve been trained to consider anything but mundane. It’s a nice reality check.
Also, to those who know… why all the phillips-head type screws on the aircraft? Those things are far to easy to strip - you can actually see some on the missile rail which look to be on their way there, in fact. Why aren’t they using allen or torx-head screws?

Some Fixes is complated. I hope it looks like the real model a little bit

Thanks a lot for sharing your work, Gizemkar.
Just a question: is this for me only, but after dowloading I can’t get a ‘true working’ archive file… can you help me, please?
Update: please don’t mind, all is working fine.
Can I install it in Ikaros? Or is it for another theater?
With best regards,

Model uses 8200.dds So some theater texure names may conflict with texture names of other theater Models.
I released new model for Ikaros. -
Thanks a lot for your reply, Gizemkar.
I guessed it… I’ll give it a try, and I’ll let you know more further.
Have a nice day! With best regards,
