IAI Lavi

Hello,
Honestly, I am not even sure this contained airbrakes.
I based some of my decisions on single seater provisions (B04 and B05) which never flew :
I am unsure of the copyright of this document, but there is certainly some.
As you can see, keel apex are a bit longer, but do not contain airbrakes.
Also, we had a lot of discussions about guns provisions, and I decided to set up two guns, considering that this was what has the highest probability.
Best regards,
Radium

I was asking some guys that have been working on the original LAVI back in the days, and seems like we got a decent balance between the TD, B2 and future basic blueprints of B04-B05 as @Radium described
Amazing work on the Aircraft,
I believe many would love to fly next to it, and maybe taking its cockpit to a ride (well no high-fidelity one for it unfortunately, yet) -
Hello,
I am super happy !
It’s the first time I do a 4k ambiant occlusion texture render to texture and it looks really nice ! You can click to enlarge.
Our Israeli friends will be most happy, I guess !
Time to move to Vray now.
Best regards,

Hello,
I also enjoy doing graphic job.
If some of my followers desire a custom signature like :
Just let me know it and what you want in it.
Cheers,

Hello,
I am very happy to send you a first video of my Lavi
Click on the picture to get the vidéo.
Contrary to what I have done before, this model was fully AFM designed.
My Lavi will then be delivered with a OFM and an AFM file.
Aircraft is now 95% animated, I still have adjustments to finish.
Most difficult was to have a relevant fly by wire system. I still have issues with the pitch control, but it’s getting better and better.
Gears are now fully animated also, I hope you will enjoy it in my video.
Enjoy !

@Radium a masterpiece !!!

Hello,
some weekend update !
First thing : I lost all my flight model data…
I explain : usually, when I do a flight model, I take an existing base (F-16 RNLAF for example), for both OFM and AFM (no offense to dutch people, I just don’t use this aircraft for anything else).
Then, I (with maximum delay), decided to update my 4.36 to U1 (my biggest mistake).
As you may guess : I totally forgot that U1 will erase FM data… Then, everything was lost…
Well. I did it once, I will do it twice, devs all know this kind of frustration !
Anyway, here some updates (after downdate…), mostly about texture.
Main texture is basically an IAF F-16A livery, that I arranged (with the side roundel that was found on legacy Israel fighters).
Texture job has then started, but for now, it’s only colors, no specific drawing or photorealistic parts. Ambiant occlusion shadows are really nice to avoid a lot of texturing work.
I also did a little enjoyment putting some weapons under Lavi (thanks Hayab for Python 3 & 5 !)
I then decided to put an heavy payload, but still realistic, according to documents I have that will help me to do a realistic payload sheet :
That being said, I will not put all of them, according to some testimonies I got that proved that not all of these hardpoints (especially 13 and 14) would have been used. I tried to be smart and arrange something realistic.
Stay tuned !

@Radium beautiful.
-
Beautiful! Hope you will provide 2 skin-schemes: IAI Lavi white prototype/demonstrator, and IAF F16 camo style. Will you incorporate this in ITO?
-
@Setmose hello,
I do not plan the white one because it was just a test bed.
I plan a F-16-like camo, and also a F-15-like grey livery.
Of course it will be integrated in ITO, in fact, this work is jointly done with my friend vAICon (ITO theater manager).
Cheers !

@Radium Pure art, thank you for been around m8!!
-
@Raptor Thank you very much !
Today, I am working to do some irregularity on the main texture (and other refinements).
I think it’s important to have an aircraft who lives, and not a museum flower pot !
Regards,
Radium

just some extra artwork of the lavi’s loadouts + camo scheme
