WIP: F-14 B/D
-
Some initial experimentation with the refueling probe. Took me a few hrs to get back into Blender. I think I’ll smooth out and simplify most of the frontend fuselage as it is overly full with unneeded geometry.
The base axis for the probe still needs to be finalized to create accurate rotation as the fuselage cover part is attached to the probe so they move together.
Probe will get a few (A FEW) more details like the light and some actuator and compartment details. Nothing too wild. It does look cool when deployed.

@Manos1981 My biggest wish is to see this fighter on BMS one day. I even had the cockpit ready a few years ago.
Beautiful pit. If you would be willing to share your F-14 style pit, I would love to incorporate it into my OFM Theatres.
-
@Chuckles good to see you’re still around!
Does the old F-14D 2D pit still exist by any chance? You know the one from years ago?

Are you speaking of the one created by Pepe that we were using in our old theatre projects? if so we may still have it in one of our 4.35 theatres. We stopped incorporating it into 4.36 because it had so many missing features due to its unfinished state.

@stingray_SIX_TWO It looks amazing.

Your extensive collection of skins back in the FF days was amazing, dude.
(Hat still off to you)
Man I’ve been browsing through my skin references for the model…that collection was clearly a sign of my having way (WAY) too much time…haha good times. I actually skinned that old Zaggy model with Onesimus’ template from 2008-2013!
I will obviously attempt to recreate every single one of these shots with these skins on the new model in-sim asap!
In case anyone is interested in the old skins and can then subsequently hold me to account to recreate them for the new model, I will host them on mega and share the link here.
On the model: Does anyone know if animation axis are importable in 3DS? I have 28 rigged components with limits that I’d like to export if possible.

Hi stingray,
Looking at your reference picture, the rear part of the probe cover actually rotates into the fuselage, so I think your rotation point should be maybe a foot into the fuselage and probably in line with the change in the cover’s width.

Hey Pumpy, nice of you to visit! Your axis placement suggestion sounds spot on. My 3d think has suffered over the past 12 months since I last dealt with the modeling. I’ll work out details and update here soon.

@PumpyHead doesn’t “visit”.
He stalks; he lurks; he does not sleep.
Having been the object of his lust, I can assure you: It is terrifying.

I have no idea. Since 2015 I lost my knowledge what I have with LOD Editor.

@molnibalage pero donde puedo descargar el mod hermano???

@AdrianEscalona71 The F14A, B and D have an F18 cockpit and F16 avionics…it’s not perfect, but something of it is something…Falcon BMS is based on the F16, only and exclusively…everything else is an addition and not it has to be perfect.
Write in english in this forum please… greetings from the canary islands

Long, long time ago I got the raw files which were integrated into my Korea '80s MOD. It was a 4.32 compatible stuff. You can’t download anything from anywhere.

@AdrianEscalona71 English only please…

@molnibalage
I have 4.32, how do I install the f14 cockpit in it? Can you explain it to me? -

I have 4.32, how do I install the f14 cockpit in it? Can you explain it to me?- Even the old MOD is gone. I have the 1.3 version but only on my HDD.
- Even if you had it I have no idea how can be extracted the pit. (Somehow I can’t find the raw files of the pit on my HDD.)
- Even if you could extract I have no idea how can be imported to 4.37.
You can’t have F-14 pit unless somebody make import. Sorry.
As I can remember mykinge made the pit. -
@AdrianEscalona71 It’s easy man forget about the f14, you can’t fly it…fly the f16…you’re in Falcon not Top Gun

I used to dream of seeing the F-14 and F-15 at the BMS one day. My F-15 dream has come true. I still have hope for the F-14.
