Title: natedog and superfly: which planes do you want to see redone the most?
Post by: Citabria on August 10, 2003, 04:56:21 PM: are there certain planes you are looking forward to making new 3d models of? or is the enormity of the task making it more of a chore than anything? just wondering havent heard much from you guys in a long time so you must be very busy.

Post by: acepilot2 on August 10, 2003, 06:37:32 PM: I pretty much agree except I think the c47, p51b, and tempest are all fine...but that doesn't mean I don't want them redone, just not my top picks.

I would certainly go with the p38 and b17, but one plane currently in the game that I think looks really cartoony is the f4u. I would love to see that redone.

Post by: Furball on August 10, 2003, 06:40:11 PM: mine:

1. Spit V/IX/XIV
2. B17
3. B26

To me, these models look so dated. While they are remodelling the 14 please give it a bubble canopy!

Post by: Kweassa on August 10, 2003, 06:43:49 PM: The SpitV, SpitIX and the P-51 are pretty recent. They just had their makeup done not too long ago. The plane series that really needs heavy work are the 109s - oldest in the book probably by now.

Post by: MANDOBLE on August 10, 2003, 07:04:00 PM: Same with 190 series.

As far as I remember, La5, Spits and P51 were the only redone planes in the past.

Post by: ramzey on August 10, 2003, 07:57:35 PM: seems you are not understand what re-done mean

imo

1. its transfer planes from AH game engine in to AH2 /but it can be plug in to AH2, 3d models used in AH1/
2. is re-work UV mapping on ALL planes
3. if we need to make plane better loooking, we add som details /i doubt here/
4. if we have enough time we make som olders models from begining and put them in to AH2, to replace old.

*(we=HTC)

Post by: Puke on August 10, 2003, 09:55:50 PM: Aren't they re-doing all of them anyway?
Title: natedog and superfly: which planes do you want to see redone the most?
Post by: Kweassa on August 10, 2003, 09:59:48 PM: Probably, Puke.

Ahhh.. I don't really care even if they are not... as long as they look pretty and accurate.

ps) Wish the details such as radiator/cowl flaps and slats on the 109s and Las, are represented.

uhhhhhhhh. no. why would htc wanna go looking for trouble like that?
Title: natedog and superfly: which planes do you want to see redone the most?
Post by: Matt1221b on August 10, 2003, 11:52:45 PM: IL2:FB and cfs cockpits arnt good at all, the detail is good but they dont have working dials and working guages and i really use those
and it would be a shame to see some static cockpit like in IL2
Title: natedog and superfly: which planes do you want to see redone the most?
Post by: Shane on August 11, 2003, 12:00:12 AM: il2 has a static cockpit? no moving dials? what to they do, use some kind of gamey and totally unrealistic HUD?
Title: natedog and superfly: which planes do you want to see redone the most?
Post by: Matt1221b on August 11, 2003, 12:01:16 AM: ya they have a little red line at the bottom that shows ur speed and alt and its pointless cause people shut it off and ur flying in the dark on speed and alt wise it sucks big time, part of the reason i moved to AH

Mr. Spock report.

Captain, detectors are detecting heavy amounts of irony and sarcasm.

Post by: Rutilant on August 11, 2003, 12:34:23 AM: A lot of the 3D models that were 'round' are octagonal.. The goony's fuselage.. B17G's engines.. and some other stuff..

It really kinda ruins the look..

Post by: Ike 2K# on August 11, 2003, 12:50:51 AM: i wanna see italian, jap, and germ planes re-done its flight instruments. MPH and FT should be replaced with Km, Meters. I would also want to see dials and guages placed correctly on each planes.

here's a picture of Me-262 cockpit. *note that the speedometer is located at the top left (the first dial)

As far as I remember, La5, Spits and P51 were the only redone planes in the past.

Armoured rear cockpit glass on both La's is just wrong.........

Tail of the La5 is too thick........... (it should be no thicker than the la7's just a very slightly different shape)

Sights are too low behind the armoured glass.

Actually the lavochkins are pretty easy to skin externally because rear of the forward fuselage there are no body panels (bar the access hatch and two fuel plates in the wings). The paint work is actually on a layer of varnished wood veneer.

The lines so often depicted on the wings (over and behind the gear mounting point) cannot be seen on the finished AC

I dont think the La has been re doneduring my time here

Considering how colourfull even the blue grey la's were when two toned and guards emblems added ours is pretty boring........... as stated elsewhere I would love to see Popkovs La5FN in the MA

Combat flight simulator 3?

Terrible Game. NO.

Combat Flight Simulator 2?

It would be illegal, but I posted some screens of the game in the screenshots forum. While I do not want them to borrow the exact things, I would like AH2 generally look like the planes in combat flight simulator 2 with paint chips, debris, great fires... etc.

Rgr that. Especially the f4u's. They all need their polygons redone, and the f4u 1d and c's textures all look pretty cartoony IMO. The f4u's need to be redone.

Generally I think the 109's polygon count and textures seem fin, but the cockpits need reworking.

And as for the dials not working in IL2: FB...I have not played the game myself but i have seen movies of it and screenshots and all the dials seem working. Its probably your graphics card, should get a new one.

lol you dunno what your talking about.

All the guages work.

Post by: TopQuark on August 12, 2003, 08:35:55 AM: I'd certainly like to see the units on the ASI, altimeter etc done authentically (ie - meters for LW planes etc).

Also, it would be nice if the russian planes had Cyrillic writing on the gauges instead of english, and the same for japanese planes. It all helps to add a bit more atmosphere to the game.

I knew some girls with that same problem. They were Amish or baptist or something. Totally fast, but that whole octagonal look . . .

Geesh.
