IAI Lavi
-
@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 -
Are you also doing the cockpit layout / automation?
-
@Radium Always backup before upgrades! That includes disk defrag!

Hello buddies,
thank you for your feedbacks !
@Toot, thank you so much for these documents. That being said, there is something I am suspicious about :
From my information and according to the structural data I have, I do not believe in the 6 bomb centerline. To me, it’s impossible.
That being said, I trend to believe that Lavi would have been able to carry this, maximum :
(This picture is from my 3dsmax, doing integration tests, what works, what doesn’t works). I really live to work on this model because there is a glimpse of engineering to do, it’s not just only about copying something that exist !
For camo, I decided to stricly use F-16A style livery. I guess this is what is the most realistic !
@Setmose, I am thinking to make a cockpit. But it will use F-16 avionics ! Abour defrag, no need for it, I only use SSD for storage.
If some are interested by it, here is my specs :
CPU : Intel Core i5-7400 CPU
RAM : 16,0 GB RAM
GPU : RTX3070 8GB RAM
2 x 27" screens
1 x 43" screen
Thrustmaster T16000 + TWCSMy next investment is to replace my 3070 by a 3090 and a HTC Vive Pro VR set
If some want my 3070, I still have the original box, it’s one year old and working perfecty, you can make an offer.
Best regards,
Radium

This is an official, signed piece of the lavi’s weapons and carrying abilities, if you need it
This is one of the wind tunnel test mockups with a loadout -
@Raptor Hi,
I don’t want Reverb G2 because it’s not compatible with two games I want to play with :
- ADR1FT
- Half Life : Alyx.
Cheers,

Hello,
Since yesterday, I am working on afterburner… Here is a quick video (click on the picture) :
Afterburner effect is never easy to make, and I try to make a custom effect for al my models.
Stay tuned !

This is one of the wind tunnel test mockups with a loadoutNice docs!
Do you have a documantation of the cannons, one seated plans, air brakes, intended hardpoints (the carrier itselfs) for the lavi? -
just curious, what’s the weapon under AGM 65?
it looks like AGM XX ? 62? -
Hello everybody !yes,
@ccc1tw, yes, it is surely AGM-62 !
I am very happy to post new work in progress pictures.
I worked all the day on my Lavi : animations are fully done and adjusted, and I managed to have a realistic representation of Lavi FBW.
Basically, aircraft will come with both OFM file and AFM file. You can see in the following screenshots that canards are not animated by simple DOFs, but behave exactly like what I found in the real aircraft.
Texture also got some updates, with a lot of additional details. Nevertheless, structure line and weathering are both still missing, but it’s coming.
I am pretty happy of this WIP, as far as I know, there were only very Lavi done in flight simulation !
By the way : afterburner is a fully new asset that I build, it doesn’t contains anything from my fellow devs. This aircraft is 100% done by me (including OFM & AFM, with the kind help and support of vAIcon.
I still need to work on a lot of details on the aircraft, I want to experiment some more Vray functionalities to have a nice render !
Stay tuned !

@Radium Truly amazing work!
Hope to see it fly soon in ITO -
extraordinary work Maestro !!!
-
@Radium “Jane’s Israeli Air Force” was a multi-jet simulator/game that had the Lavi. You might want to pick up a cheap copy at eBay to see what they did with it and their cockpit layout.
-
@Setmose Hi, yeah I remember that !!!
For cockpit, I am not on that stage now, and I have plenty of docs for the cockpit
Thank you !

Hello,
Refuel works fine !
I don’t think I was ever motivated like that on a project…
Stay tuned !

@Radium: Love that tail-art!
