@parislord said in IAI Lavi:
@Radium: Correct, FF uses .DXM (don’t know why, started-out in .lod format then chg’d to .dxm, then back to .lod for BMS, go-figure) and the conversion util is LE v6.23, so not too recent, unfortunately. With some models, like the F-104, it’s not problem. More recent such as the F-CK-1D (but not the A), J-15/Su-33, J-20 and now the LAVI as well as some older .lods such as the MiG-25, MiG-21 and MiG-29 either will not convert at all or the fuselage mesh is too large/dense/etc. and will not convert leaving a .dxm of the nozzles, pilot, canopy, flaps, etc. In some cases, such as the F-CK-1D, this can be overcome by converting one of the lower detail .lods. For the F-CK-1D, for example, the -0.lod will not convert but the -1.lod converts, fine. If there is another workaround for this, I haven’t found it, yet. Nor have I figured-out the exact nature of the conflict as some models will convert but other very similar models will not. For example, the IAF A-4N converts fine, but the A-4H will not despite the N variant seemingly being apparently very similar.
BMS didn’t “got back to using LODs” but the move to DXM was never part of BMS (DXM was created by RV GFX Expert back then and integrated into FF) so BMS always used LODs (Well, at least until some point in the future…)
I don’t know why you are still trying to convert LODs to DXMs instead of using BMS and be done with it all. It’s one crazy hope to assume that anything is going to work considering the years that passed since DXM was created (We are talking about 2004-5 probably when planing for DXM started) I wonder that you manage to convert anything in 2022

@I-Hawk: “…went back to” in the chronological sense of current falcon from (my) the end-user’s point-of-view, of course… : P

@TOPOLO gorgeous !!!

@parislord - PM Ranger, dude.
I know back before we folded, Ranger wanted BMS to upgrade to DXM so that we could pass on all of our models to them.
Ranger has solid and practical knowledge of both formats, and I am sure that he has the expertise to help you out.
And - unlike some - he has continued to tinker and has, thus, not forgotten the diabolical arts…!

Hello,
Reading Lavi history, it was clear that it would have been sold abroad.
Then, I decided to make… A Philippine Air Force Lavi !
Another one to come… Stay tuned !
@LMR-74 I bet you will like it !
Radium

@Radium , looks Great , yes , I know that story , would it possible for you to send me the skins / texture files ?
-
@Radium amazing work! Radium question m8 did you fix what we spoke about, cheers
-
@LMR-74 A full package will be ready soon !
@Kevstosmart It was updated

@Radium , Amazing ! hoping to see the SAAB JAS39 C/D Gripen too
-
@Radium you spoil us to much, Radium cheers my friend
-
Masterpiece, bravo!

Hello !
Some will wonder… Radium is definitely a strange dude with is choices…
But anyway ! I decided to make a Portugal Air Force Lavi, A-7s’ livery.
Reason is that Portugal was interested in Gripen, and I considered that Lavi was a relevant choice for this often forgotten F-16 country inside BMS world.
Maybe, POH people will like it !
Now, Lavi project is over !
I will finish the package tomorrow, I publish it as soon as possible.
Best regards !
Radium
