Rafale wing model
-
Hello guys, it’s Yuri again~
The Rafale has a pretty nice exterior model, and i wanted to fly it so much i ripped out the canopy, the exterior pit and pilot model, some unnecessary stuffs like the tgp and afterburner model by just block selecting and scrolling through the LODEditor. Currently i’m too tired to rip off the belly of the plane, so it’s not as optimized as other wing models, but testing in NTO polar vortex doesnt any significant fps drop, so it’ll probably work fine. The F-22 pit by Metalhead fits this plane the best due to the unobstructed view towards the back, however, the viggen pit is a good candidate too. The F-16 pit doesn’t fit the wing model as nicely though, it’s not deep enough(?) so there’ll be some see through space.
Anyways, enough talking, here’s some pics and the download link.

Instructions:
1. In LODEditor, append the model and take note of the model ID#.
2. Append a new parent and plug the numbers in the red boxes in, click Update and input the model ID# and click update again.
3. Create a folder called RAFL in Art/ckpart
4. Copy the 3dckpit.dat and 3dbuttons.dat of any pit you want to use with the wing model in there.
5. Open 3dckpit.dat with any text editor and change the parent number on these lines to the parent number of the parent we appended just nowcockpitwingsmodel cockpitwingsdfmodel ```Thank you, Hayab, for your awesome Rafale exterior model! ;)

Hi Thanks,
Is it possible to do the same trick for the f-111 ?
Perhaps it could be a nice next project if you like.Cheers Obi1

Nice, on another note I don’t even why I’m monkeying with the F-5 outside that it’s external model is real pleasing to the eye but not so much from the pit about as close that I’ve got is using the f-15 pit and externals and not loading wing tip missiles tried f-16 and 18 externals but ordinance is all over the place

As close as I got the f-111 was to put the f-4 pit in it by go the external view, seems to be a good place to toss an idea of reskinning or remodeling the nose to look like the mig 23 or 25 for the sake of the BMS universe

Depends, not very likely since the F-111 just doesn’t “click” for me. And this is pretty tedius and frustrating, scrolling through about >10000 polygons one by one to look for the ones that needs to be deleted is anything but fun(LODEditor have some tools, but they’re just simply too outdated to be useful, things would’ve been a lot easier if i could just click on the model and delete it, but nope)

I just took a look at the F-5 model. The same technique can be used, though it’s still tedious. Use LODEditor and the block selection mode + isolate to filter the model to only the polygons you selected. You would want to delete the canopy and the cockpit interior of the exterior model. after that, move then center of the model to where the pilot head used to be(sometimes, for some reason, there are a few parts of the plane that just wont move when you move the entire model to change its center point, in that case, look for them and use the move selected nodes option to move them. Again, this is tedious)
.
After that, you have yourself a usable wing model. Create a new parent and append the model in, check the exterior model to see how many slots does it have. Slots is the number of slot nodes, and slot nodes defines where ordinances is mounted on the model. -
Thanks for looking, I’m not very versed in the 3d editor I might not have loaded it correctly I never seem to get to the point where you can see the 3d model, in time I’ll get the hang of it, the f-5 isn’t a must have at the moment I got plenty of stuff I dolled up like you have, I did a nice job of marring the f-15 pit to the Hornet and the f-16 pit to the F-22 . I’m more of a bomber pilot so my interests are all over the place.
