And now, some of us cough, cough Aragorn are back in diapers…

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.

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.

I do not have a list of all, but here are some I remember:

t: displays texture (toggle)
w: displays wireframe (toggle)
shift + w: displays wireframe on texture (toggle)
y: reloads texture
z: toggles z-buffer

d + #: select DOF
alt + left mouse button: move selected DOF
s + # enter: toggle Switch

left mouse button: turn model around
shift + left mouse button: zoom in and out
right mouse button: move model

space bar: displays menu items

I believe this model is the original model. It cannot be edited because mrivers included DOF Math for the nose gear resulting that the model cannot be opened in LodEditor.

AFAIK, Buraktunahan has made texture improvements (nice ones at that).

Also, take some time to read the F4 3D Database Builder.pdf located in the same TOOLS folder as the 3ddbuilder.exe. It explains how to extract, build and update the db.

Hee hee…!!
Thanks for remembering, dude. Indeed, I put together almost 1600 pages.

Did you use Elmer’s glue or was it more like papier mâché? Or maybe it was like a collage? Did you squint in order not to see the where the edges met?

…just wondering…

@MaxWaldorf

Should be a data fix that has been done AFAIK.

@LorikEolmin said in [4.36.0] External lights discrepancy:

Block 40, 50 maybe others.

Daylight, no NVG.

FORM lights set to maximum
AERIEL REFUEL light set to maximum
Master lights on
Wing/tail off
–> can see wing lights from cockpit
–> can’t see wing lights from outside
Wing/tail on
–> can see wing lights from everywhere

Yes, KTO.

Hi Lorik,

Can you be more specific as to what the discrepancy is? For example, Aerial Refuel will not work unless you open the refuel door. FORM light operation is dependent on Master setting.

<p>@_noname I may have misspoken. The latest support for LOD’s is 2014.</p>
