Indeed… Someone has to contact Qawa to make us a better cockpit if not AUP cokpit . I tried to contact him here but his inbox is full… Therefore the default one isnt bad even if it isnt full clickable but sure it needs new textures. I believe that with more HD textures will be awesome

That would be really amazing Manos1981…After all an F-4E AUP pit has very similar symbology in HUD, MFD’s and ICP with F-16C/D Block 52+… It could fit perfectly in ΒMS layout if there was someone with the tools,time and will to make it happen! Still your F-4 model rocks!
Keep up the good work!!
Thank you!

Thank all of u for your kind words. Im doing my best all RL work consumes my power theese days and i dont have too much time to deal with the models and skins unfortunatelly At least i think for now only the skins remain to be fixed.
Therefore i contacted people that they had maked cokpits for other sims and stuff, outside BMS, and always got a NO as an answer or no answer at all. This is something i cnnot understand cause when u making something even for another sim and a fellow simmer requests your help in something, ok u are not obligated, but at least u can just answer or give some help if you dont want to share your work witch by the way is free for every one to download in some forum or whatever in the sim you made it. Thats why i will always and till the end of this project i will THANK in every aspect the people here who helped me to come this far and 1st of all the real author who willingly told me i cann do whatever i want with this model mr Alberto Sangalli. Raptor who is giving me many info and suggestions, I hawk for also granting me the license to post the works here, Ranger822 for also giving me info and his work on the skins (i hope soon we will see them,sorry for the loss of your laptop) and suggestions, Arty and Wavydave for their help in my 3d questions and of course MASTER Jan JanHas who willingly shared parts and almost complete 3d works with me and also give me part of his knoledge in 3ds. Of course all the others here in the community who support this project and suggest or give info for anything… This is what i believe make us the STRONGEST sim community in all internet and this is why bms will stay here for long time to come.
On the works now… I hope tommorow i will have time to work on the skin more close and come up with something good!
season greetings to everyone

If someone willing to make a AUP 3d cokpit he’s welcome… I dont have any knowledge to do it my self so for now the default one.

I am working on Christmas eve on AUP Skin - looking nice - about 40% done - I have never attempted to make a skin on a master size at 4096x4096 - detail is, well a bit overwhelming. But, in the end I believe skin will be well worth the time invested and the wait. It should also set good stage for dumbing down to 2048x-2048 for BMS requirements and also for hi-res folder for those who can handle it. Sorry, I couldn’t deliver by the holidays . . . . PSD will be available when done so folks can master their or improve on the existing skin … this is a nice community project and want to applaud Manos for his effort and attitude - we all could benefit from having a few more folks with his energy and passion for this sim.

Hey Manos,
haven’t had much time to follow this thread lately…
Did you make the LANTIRN pod part of the AC 3d model?If yes, maybe better remove it again.
It does block one of the fuselage HPs, so you can get into a situation where the pod is shown, but a weapon on the HP also is shown…
Code can load targeting PODs just like any other weapons to a HP.
So if you add the LANTIRN as a weapon to the HP, you’ll get it to show up in 3d and no other weapon loaded to this station.Cheers

Great 171 SQN skin Manos. However, after the failed 15th July 2016 coup, 171 filo was disbanded. The F-4E 2020 were transferred to 111 Filo at Eskisehir, which is now the only unit in TurAF operating the F-4E 2020. So, plz make the 111 filo tailart instead to include it in Ikaros.
-
171 is also requested to be included for TUAF skins set, the sq might be closed waiting the delivery of F-35’s but as with HAF 346sq, it was decided to make the skin available for Ikaros campaigns for the previous years.

I think i cover all requests….

BikerIt does block yes. Therefore its “switched” so the user can select it or not as in f-16. I tried to make it as u say and 1st its kind of difficult cause for some kind of reason it doent work as it should. 2nd hast to have a new ctrecord cause of the pylon it uses cause if i change the model in the ct records all planes using it will also use the pylon right? so this is gonna be strange as well. 3d also it has to have a tilt of 45 degrees to show properly this is not difficult but again has to do with reason 2.
I have to make some tests with some Ideas i have 1st for this and then if it will work i might change it the way u say, Also when i will make the American/Korean E i have to solve the same tilt problem for the ALQ-119 i made it before by changing the alq-88 if i remember well and installing there a tilted alq-119 and renaming the ct to alq-119a or F-4 or whatever… Therefore late tests i done to recreate this where failed for some reason i dont know but i hope soon i will find the sollution as i did with other problems i had -
-
Back in business… Allready Started working on ESK version, and finally i overcome some issues i had with the tilted ALQ-119 (witch in my setup for now takes the place of ALQ-88) but i dont think thats an issue anyway was empty. I have some small issues i other things but i think i will overcome as well. THK and AUP are ready BUT i will not release anything yet cause i have to finish the whole package! Sorry guys…

I managed to make to skins for USAF -E one shown in photo and 1 with Europe1 Tail code SP -
Well i almost also being very close to a solution regarding the shading problems i got with LE. Main problem was the Fuselage after shading to get flipped normals and being transparent. So witch is the fix? Flip the normals from the begining in 3ds max. And that i wanna make it cause some shadows are off ex tha parshute is not shadowed correctly and other shading problems like weird shadows here and there…. Will see how it goes if it goes well then i will say confident that im on 100 percent in the models and ill continue with much more joy my work for the rest versions

This E US version will absolutely be a must have. 8-)

Spontainesly this came up……:p:p
