Great idea!!!

It's a good thing I bought CFS3 early this month. ;D

I'll see what sounds fit the most.

BTW, I'm still waiting for some help on the aircraft textures.

I finally got the textures to appear on FS2002.

Here is the pic I wanted to post.

Image

The elevators are textured as well. However, the ailerons are the only ones that are not textured (I apply some some).

Next, I'll do the same for the pilot. I still have the bmp images Oz gave me.

As for the sounds, I followed Oz's advice.

I copied and pasted a set of sound files that belong to a CFS3 jet called the Me-262.

Hey, Oz. I'll send you the model so that you can beta test it.

I'm gonna have to warn you Oz.

As I compressed the F_117A_Have_blue folder, I realized that the size of the compressed folder (zip file) is still huge.

It's a HUGE 16MB file!!!!!!!! :o

So, expect to see VEEEERRRRRRRRYYYYYYY slow progress of opening your e-mail. :( :-/

PS: It seems that there is not enough basic info on the dynamics of the aircraft itself. Remember, this aircraft was totally kept underwraps by the US gov't. Even after being declassified, vital information is still being kept a secrect.

Uh oh!!!!!!

I can't send it. It's too big (beyond 14 mbs)

I'll post it on simviation (aircraft adoption page) where you can get it (is this a good idea?  :-[ ).

NO!!! Dont do that, other people will be able to get the model and work around with it. Dont worry bout the sounds or the panel and such, just send me the model, a cfg and air file and thats it.

I wasn't really going to post it anyways. ;D

I may be crazy enough to say it, but I'm not stupid enough to actually do it. ;D

Anyways, I'll send the model to you.

wow the plane is REALLY comming along!

I just have one sugestion, and that is to save the textures as a DXT3 with alpha (thats if you did not already do that) all it would do is bring the color quality of the texture maps up ;)

Oh, and thank you for the credit you have given me. ;D :D

When you mean you said corrupted, did you mean that there were files missing? Or the zip file can't open?

If you say there are files missing, then that's because the sound files were too big and I had to take those out to reduce the size of the e-mail attachment.

I'll make an aliased sound file instead.

Sorry I haven't replied in a while. I had internet problems.

Hey Oz! Do you have the original cockpit textures?

You know, the first ones that you gave me since the start of this project and that couldn't show up in FS?

I'm looking for those again. I accidentally deleted those files.

I tried making my own cockpit textures, but the results were not good.

sorry man but i deleted those long ago. In my personal opinion though, i dont think even mine were that good. why dont you ask GeForce to make some; please understand i dont mean to 'leave you hangin' but i think GeForce would do a much better job than me and i dont want something no-perfect on your add-on. I think it should look professional and with the work GeForce has shown, im sure he can do an awesome job.however if Geforce wont do it, ill  give it my best shot  ;)

It's ok Oz. No model is perfect in the FS world.

Besides. I may be trying to do my best on achieving a NEAR-perfect model, but I don't really expect that the model will be 100% perfect.

Nothing is perfect in this world.

Anyways, I'll see if I can scan some objects in my house that will make great textures for control unit (calculator, circuit boards, etc.).

I'll also try to make the rims for the Have Blue's tires.

BTW, in real life the Have Blue didn't have that much of a glossy appearance. The paint job was really flat than glossy (for stealth reasons).
