IAI Lavi

@Magnum1964: I have seen this, occasionally when replacing an existing a/c or parent with a custom .lod if they do not have the same number of HP. For example if I replace the MiG-21 with Radium’s Su-33, it will act like only the first five HP are loaded due to the MiG parent having only 5 HP and cause an uncommanded roll towards HP 1-5. Oddly, it does not always happen and seems fairly hard to predict.

Hello everyone !
Bringing Lavi cockpit to the best level!
Basically, only the seat is missing, and also the canopy frame.
Stay tuned !

Looking amazing @Radium. The only thing I think that You could look at improving is there shape of the throttle.
To my eyes this image shows a handle that is tilted up at about 40 degrees. And offers a nice rest for the pilots hand. I don’t see the TDC being on the end. Maybe you have some other photos?

@SOBO-87 Hello ! This is a very good remark. At first, my throttle was like that. In fact, I later found that it was just impossible to pilot with a throttle like that (I even made some real life experiments with some cardboard and fabric. In fact, I believe that the throttle on this picture was rotated, to make pictures.
This is always what is difficult with this kind of work : you need to figure our the difference between what is shown and what it would have been in reality.
Nevertheless, I don’t mean I am right, I just did what looked the best to me !

Hello everyone,
I am very happy to show you the progress of Lavi cockpit.
I have to confess that I more and more worry about the unwrapping nightmare it’s gonna me. But anyway, must do it !
This time, I will not share ingame video, because non-texture polygons trend to be so dark that you can barely see what’s inside a complex cockpit.
Here you go :
As you see, ejection seat it fully done. It was very painful, as MK10 used on Lavi was as far as I know, unique.
Here you go for the full model :
Some might think that it’s close to what exists on F-18, but it is really different.
I hope you will like it !
Best regards,
Radium

I don’t know how you are as a pilot. but as a 3d artist you have an unmatched talent. I certify it.

@VIPER-0 Not sure if I was a good pilot. But what is sure is that long time ago I kinda flew a lot !

Fabolous !!! my friend… you’re the Master !!!

@qawa Honestly, you are also my source of inspiration !
-
@Radium cheers ! Thanks for sharing. Amazing to see actual pilots around

John Golan estimates for the Lavi, comparable to figures I’ve seen for the Gripen and mirage

Just gonna drop this here, its from the 30 year cancellation event of the lavi. Had some scale mockups
Could be interesting to think of india partnering up with israel to build the lavi instead of the tejas, since both are small and carry the same missions almost -
Hello,
very interesting !!!
Yeah, I could have done an indian livery !
