Boeing E-3 Sentry AWACS

Are flaps and gear animations really necessary for a plane that is in the air already when you enter the sim?
Agree!
Just adding the bulges/fairings for additional sensors, fixing the leading edges’ texture overlapping and maybe polishing the rotodome a bit is more than enough for this particular model, IMHO. The skin alone already does a pretty good job enhancing the current model as it is.

alright… take it easy. upgrading E3 model seems to be a very low priority job… forget my post.

No, ccc,
I respect your posts and all the work you’ve done. I’m just thinking out loud about what would be priority, etc…
Any input is welcome, even if I may not always agree.Cheers,

Never mind, ccc. In an ideal world, every model in the database would be as detailed as the Viper. Not even DCS has achieved this after 6 releases (the new models are jaw-dropping but there are quite a few that still can’t match the new standards) and we’re hoping the community, working for free and part-time, will get there with BMS… it’s just not feasible.
Pumpy is working hard upgrading the F-16 (which is a priority job compared to the E-3) so revamping the Sentry to the level we have agreed is already kind of his.
But don’t despair! The KC-135 (which is a plane we get to see much more often) will also get a face lift - skin-wise, at least, from my part: if Pumpy wishes to retouch that one as well would be great. Some models just require a decent skin to look great: take a look at the Su30MKK… low poly and all but with JanHas’ skin it really shines:

OMG!!!
Baldeagle, could you post a few screens of your new models, please? Thanks!
-
Guys, so there’s no work duplication the KC10 has a new model in dev, so unless you’re very bored I wouldn’t waste time on it; not even the skin because I believe the new one is like the bug; 2048.
-
Copy that, Bonedust.
I’ve also changed my skins to single 2048x2048 files. Pumpy is re-mapping the models to use the new skins as we speak.

What about dome rotate speed? I just dicovered how fast.

Pumpy, check your PM, please .

Very Good.

Great!

Very nice! It made my nipples hard.

thanks very nice skin but i cant download it why???
thanks -
Tsanis,
I did it just a few seconds ago - there were a bunch of passages to be done, indeed, but I got it the same. Click on the “free download” option and keep your fingers well crossed all the time, most of all - and you’ll succeed. Or so I wish for you
Best regards, -
Hi folks,
I´m not able to download the file from the link which is postet.
