Yf-23

I had it explained to me, I understand now.

Sounds a bit like my house...

I think I'll take it easy on posting in this thread. I'm excited about this project, of course, but I've learned a thing or two about being "eager beaver" on the swaps.

Good Luck!

 

[Boof69]

No worries. Maybe two weeks until this one is done.
Done for the night.

Nice looking seat there, Boof.

 

[Boof69]

Thanks guys

 

[Mystery]

Nice job. I'm jazzed already!

 

[Boof69]

Didn't work much on this one today, but I did get the gear done. Well......almost done. Here's some renders.

 

[YF-23ace]

If that can't achieve air superiority over the local flying field, then I don't know what will!

 

[YF-23ace]

Will that weapons bay open in the sim? That's pretty cool.

 

[Boof69]

Yup. I plan on having detachables in there too.

 

[Maj. Numbskully]

detachables?
but you can't .........just kidding boof

 

[Boof69]

I think that was more of a joke for physics guys

 

[Boof69]

Some more progress shots.

 

[Boof69]

Since this is my first jet I'm unfamiliar with the placement of my ~CS_ENGINE1 and ~CS_ENGINE2. Should it be placed near the intake or the exhaust? Does it even matter?

 

[jeffpn]

The old F-15 from the AddOns shows a turbine component halfway down the chute. The SR-71 from EP7 has the turbine component towards the exhaust. There are no visual components in either model.

 

[Boof69]

So there is no need for the ~CS_engine objects? I thought they were necessary for the ~CS_Spinner object to spin which I do have.

 

[jeffpn]

In the case of the 2 aircraft I mentioned, there is no spinner or anything else visual. I guess the question is, does the ~CS_SPINNER have to be linked to ~CS_ENGINE? If you have a ~CS_ENGINE, I'm sure you'll get a prop, which I don't think you want. Try parenting your spinners to the fuselage.

 

[Boof69]

I was thinking that but I was also thinking that this might be why they have the show prop option.

 

[jeffpn]

Learn something new every day. I knew there was a pick prop, I've never noticed the show prop.

 

[Boof69]

Sorry I meant prop visual scale.I don't know I'm looking at the su-27g and it seems that turbine engine options are different. I'm a little baffled by this right now.
