A-7D Corsair II Work-In-Progress

[djackson]

Okay, I'm completing work on the HUD model. Also I started on the Mag. compass that's on the left corner of the glare shield. I turned off Global lighting while I'm working on this virtual cockpit. It's much easier to render things and see detail in the renders. I know it's slow progress, but really I'm trying to get as much detail in this virtual pit as possible (but watching the poly's.) It's really a seperate model in it's own right.  Essentially I'm building this virtual cockpit with TrackIR4 in mind - making it totally immersive.

Enjoy!

That is superb!

Shame you won't be able to render such detail in FS.

Still, with a bunch of nice textures this will beat the DSB A-7 by ages.... It really looks stunning ! Keep on rocking !

Wow, this plane just keeps getting better. . . truely amazing work!

[djackson]

If I get stuck too long on part of a model, I usually get bored so I jump around a little. I think I got the HUD down pat, so I thought I would tackle the ejection seat. Now I don't have any textures, except for the black texture on the head rests. I thought I would try a couple of leather patterns that I had in my collection (I have good references of this seat, so I matched the texture fairly well)

Enjoy!

Nice. whout you learn how to make sow detailes parts. just love then.

Keep up the good work and info

[djackson]

Of course the real trick is to get this into 3ds Max  :P but I got some guys that will do that.    :D

[pepper_airborne]

im convinced you'll get that straightend out, nice ejection seat!

[djackson]

Yeah, it's just a conversion process, probably only a couple weeks of conversion for any misplaced or inverted poly's and then adding animation.  I can export a .3ds or .obj or lot's other formats (except a max file) from C4D.  :)

[Travis]

Just export as a .3DS file.

Anyone noticed that IRIS has uploaded their Corsair to SimV?  Seems they're not too keen on competition from an "amateur".

The IRIS bird is aviable as freeware for quite some time....

But this one will be way better, as it looks here !
