Test low-poly toys in BMS4..

Those T-4s would be great for the Kuril theater!
So right, why not?
Thanks for suggesting it, dear Tazz.
With best regards.

1. FA-50 and T-50 use the same model.
2. Kawasaki T-4 cannot be added to Kurile theater DB due to 3ddb builder issue.
3. j-20 wingspan is ok, my pic doesn’t have a flanker for comparison.
My recent DB test encounters two frustrating issues…first is theater mods cannot use their own CkptArt folders. While switching theaters i broke kurile install and cannot edit Kurile DB anymore. The second odd thing is I cannot extract my edited DB with 3ddb builder. it means if i lose working folder -LODs/Parents/Textures, i cannot edit or rebuild DB.

Thanks for the reply.
For the wing area, I am referring less to the wingspan of the wings but more to the length of the wings… In your model, I feel that the distance between the wing and the canard is further than that in the picture taken above.
Thank you.

the lowpoly j20 model is done in 2015, based on a 3-view from russian website. it surely looks not that accurate as latest pics because CAC did a lot refinements before entering initial low speed production.
In addition it has numerous aerodynamic refinements including reshaped tailfins, extended tail booms, nose landing gear door, LERX and engine intakes with two hexagonal inlet/outlet of the fuel-air heat exchanger as well as smaller underwing actuators to further reduce RCS.

the latest 3-view should look like this:

Don’t worry, one brand new J-20 will come from me sooner or later…

update lowpoly zip with Parent.dat files, for better 3ddb builder operation.

BTW i want to report two issues in bms 4.34 (again):
1. theater mods cannot use customized CkptArt folder. all cockpt files directed to BMS4.34 CkptArt.
2. theater mod 3d DB files once rebuild with 3ddb builder, cannot be recognized and extracted with 3ddb builder. Modders have to keep their working LOD/TEXTURE/PARENTS folders for DB rebuild/update.

I am not on the flight pc atm to crosscheck, but IIRC at least EMF has a dedicated CkptArt within theater folders structure;
2. theater mod 3d DB files once rebuild with 3ddb builder, cannot be recognized and extracted with 3ddb builder. Modders have to keep their working LOD/TEXTURE/PARENTS folders for DB rebuild/update
Sure? I’ve done it some 60 times until now with no problems;

hi Raptor,
thanks for the info.first issue solved - missing a line in tdf…my bad.
ckptart dir
cockpitdir Add-On Kurile\art\Ckptart
second issue - no go. i check emf DB - it can be extracted by 3ddb builder. but not for Kurile and Korea 2012 DB.
=> Case solved. in TEXTURES folder, it must got a placeholder bmp file to update highest tex number in KoreaObj.HDR, then DB can be extracted by 3ddb builder. without this critical bmp file, the DB is locked forever. -
3-C, you had mentioned, before, how HP were off-set 90-degrees from their proper axis for a/c that normally have a nose-up posture on the ground: do you know how to change the HP so that they are oriented along the a/c’s proper axis?
-
edit slot matrix.
check existing model samples and you can try the slot matrix editing.

I love the Sturmvogel! In fact, I have a poster of that very aeroplane in my room. Might have to fire up X-Plane or Il-2 this weekend to give it another spin, in fact…

Thanks, it works.
One quiestion: I change the skins from bmp to dds, but now the transparant color is meshed up: do you know wat I did wrong???
Hi Nurse, CCC, I currently have the same issue with bmp from G4-Galeb. All links to solution are not existing anymore.
How could I fix the purple transparent canopy issue?Cheers Obi1
-
Convert .dds to .bmp. Select transparency area and chg to color 255-0-255. The issue I get is from the .bmp to .dds converter used: I have more success with elephant’s .bmp to .dds converter. Send me a pm with your email and I’ll send you the fixed skins and the tool.

Not sure but it looks as if its a lod issue with the G4-Galeb of ccc. When it has no dds files in folder, the skin colors are all black. Only front part of canopy is transparent. The ‘problem’ part of the canopy is black.
-
Yes! I changed the pType to 25 from 13 and it seems to work. Now I need to edit the lod in LE and find all the canopy parts and change it to transparent (ptype 25)
