NBAI F-15 Eagle

Post by **Weescotty** » 30 May 2007, 04:14

I haven't forgotten.

These pics are using models that don't contain the latest texture fixes, but give you a good idea.

An "E" and "D", I like the E's, one color

Fantastic!
May we ask Nick to mount reflective canopies as well?

Here's a 'C' thats I've been trying to get right for a long time now.

Not finished but the hard part is done.

Wow Kev I bow to your brilliance mate, fabulous.

Rip, yes I will try and do the reflective canopy but I need to wait till the weekend and have a play, I'll have to liase with Kev about the texture placing too. But Im up for that. And Kev I'll have a complete model for you by the weekend, with all the mods for textures.

OK an update here on this one. Pending a test by Mike on the FDE I will be releasing the C/D models on the ftp share site sometime this weekend (probably saturday) Once I have got the texture files from Kev from my hotmail account.

OK Gents, here we go. The NBAI F-15 C/D model has been posted onto the FTP sharing directory for those who want to go ahead and use it to start making their packages. This is going to be roughly 2 weeks ahead of the main release, as I wont be able to release it until I get back from Germany mid-June. There is a paintkit in there from Kevin, so again, as with the F-22 Im not going to be able to do repaints, but we are very happy for anyone to do their own. Indeed if you look in the C model there is already a Lakenheath paint in there by Ian McCartney. The model also now features the reflective canopy by Kev.
So have fun and hope it meets everyones expectations.

Expect an updated C/D paintkit and the E sometime today.
Will post on the share site.

Weapons texture for the E not yet complete.

HOLD THAT - Just checked the new models, theres something screwy with the rear end again.
Will have to get pics and email them to Nick.

That's what I figured, no worries, look forward to seeing the model and whatever packages you guys are working on, I know they'll be fantastic as always!

VERY nice looking model!! I hope I can use this plane in Dan Bourque's ANG packages. I never put in the F-15's that came with those packages cause it really slowed down my framerates.

Guys,

Please note, the Eagle "D" doesnt have the "refl_texture.bmp" texture in the texture folder.

It needs it if the reflective canopy is going to work. Please copy the texture from the C texture folder and put it in the D texture folder.

Sorry for the oversight.

Nick, are you doing an A and B model? I've found out that 133 Sqn IDF is made up of all versions except the 'I' variant.

He is doing an A/B model as stated in the readme!

I used to say that to my customers, I also told them to make back ups regularly. Something else I don't do either.

One thing that has cropped up in a PM to me recently guys is that the USAF Fire Extinguishers Yellow and not Red.

The colour of the fire extinguisher on the F-15 model can be changed. There is a small block of colour on the paintkit which is where the extinguisher gets its colour. I did this because the extinguishers I saw while at Nellis were not only Yellow, but some were red.

Hope this helps.

I don't know if the Eagle was to be released yet to general public, but I downloaded them already, and I can say that it's awsome. Great work Nick. I'm busting my mind in how many ways it can be used to populate the skies.
Cheers, Lewis:)

I wonder what colour the IDF ones are? I guess red but they may be camo green seeing as they are in military hot-spot (so to speak). Anyone got any photos of an IDF line up?
