just outta curiousity where did you get the skin? was it from IL-2 custom skin? because if so i have a few that were done in my IL-2 folder that were custom done from my flying days. i could send a few to you if you like

I really doesn't have a skin for the most part.
It's mapped to 2 different image files with quick touches
for visuals.
If you have some custom skins you did, I could remap it to them.
I'm graphically challanged you see.

Yep!!
That would be it.
I already have the effect completed.
It's a modded bomb effect.
I need the proper unit to deliver the payload.
I will not apologize for working this mod.
It's a fact of life!

It happened!
Nothing will change that.

To act as if it did not is a worse crime!

What bothers me the most is that you would even have to make that disclaimer.

I'd love to see formations of Superforts cruising the skies; but if you're going to do that particular mission you'll need some changes, starting with removing the guns.

I'd really like to do more aircraft.
And a few more ships maybe.

I'm not the ultimate expert on both Sh3 /SH4

but I can't stop helping those who ask for my help.

I place my mod work behind helping others.
So it's a wierd kind of trade off.

Do I do what I want and ignore everyone else?
Or do I help them with thier mods and ignore my stuff?

My stuff can wait I believe.

I agree.
There's nothing good or bad about having nukes in a game...in the end, it's all just as crazy, whether you fire a gun in COD, down a bandit in a dogfight in Il2, or sink a merchant with precious supplies, in SH3/4.

Btw, this is about a mod...but there are commercial titles with nukes in them, like World in Conflict, or Defcon.

Privateer,

If you get the time, how about an F6F-3 or -5 Hellcat? They made their debut on August 31, 1943, and the IJN, and the IJAAF really began to suffer at the hands of U.S. fighter pilots.

A nice compliment to add to your stable along with the "Big Hog" you're working on. :up:

Not sure:hmm:. I still have GWX2.0 sitting in a D/L folder. I don't know how extensive their use was in the Atlantic, but in the Pacific I've read accounts of these AC attacking Japanese shipping. Not surprising since this, along with long range patrol was their mission.

Better yet, watch the big 4 engined birds shed their wings in a dive bombing run:arrgh!:

They would usually fly at altitudes higher than your guns could reach, and saturate the area around the sub with bombs. No smart weapons in those days except the men behind the guns, or the bomb release buttons.

06-12-08, 04:20 PM
The best way I can get a starter skin for the Corsair is to
cut up a stock CFS2 skin and re-UVMap to those.
Then I'll combine them to one image.

After that, anyone who wishes to modify it is more then welcome to.
Another thing I'm going to do is make several upgrade parts.
The canopy and chin breather.
That way it can appear as the different versions with one main model
by editing the eqp file.

Strange. I never see an airplane from my submarine. They've been known to hurt people and are best avoided. If they were all paper airplanes I'd never know it.;)

Madox58
06-12-08, 08:52 PM
It's always going to be a matter of personnal choice
as to how we run our games.
I remember stories my Grandfather told of the Corsairs from Guadacanal
to Iwo Jima.
And he was a ground pounder.
When I pop scope?
I should see the proper aircraft.
The allied aircraft in SH4 are sorely lacking for me.
And as we now have the U-boat add-on?
Again, lacking.

But I try my best.
And keep getting better.

I do use several programs to help build things.
One program will do the aircraft wings stuff.
Another is for ships hulls.
I pretty much tell them what I want?
They do the work.

Rockin Robbins

I always loved Corsairs. I got to work on an F2G back in 1984 that was being restored. What an awesome plane that could kill its pilot several different ways before it ever left the flight deck. Seriously overpowered, seriously nose heavy, I believe it was never supposed to be dived below a certain number of degrees or it couldn't come out of the dive.

It was made for one purpose: to gain altitude quicker than any plane in history. It did that at the expense of just about every desirable flying characteristic.

Most of them were wrecked after the war when they were favorite planes for air racers.

As a submariner, though, all airplanes are evil. Even our airplanes are avoided as they have been known to attack their own submarines. Because of my radar I never have to see one, and I believe I and my crew live because we do not. Unlike the poor U-Boat crews, we need never use our anti-aircraft guns for anything more than decoration, and unless we are very unlucky, planes are not a part of our fight.

Isn't it amazing that in a submarine simulation we can mod the airplanes? The amount of flexibility Ubi gave to players is still amazing to me. It's why I play games on a PC instead of a console. It's also why game companies would rather make games for consoles. Many of them hate modding. I think modders are what make games wonderful.

@Privateer

For the texturing part, I think this (http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/downloads/templates-il-2-series/5/corsair-template-6/) might be handy. It's an template of the Corsair for IL2, it should have all the panel lines etc. on different layers. :up:

Thanks for all the input Guys.
I have a skin built from a stock CFS2 unit that is looking
pretty good for a starter.

I'll have another rendering useing this modified template tonite.
It impresses me!
I can't wait to see what someone who knows what they are doing
does to it.
:yep:

here's a little better view of the new skin.
Don't know where the shadow came from?
But I'll post more latter theis evening.

Today as I was speeding down the road, I was thinking of the B-29 you are ultimately attempting to get into the game. My thoughts here were what a great addition for late war lifeguard patrol that the submarines did. When the B-29's were dropping bombs on mainland Japan, the subs were there to pick up any downed crew. This aspect of the game would be a great. I can imagine the armada over head as we sit and wait for the return leg on the bomb run handling lifeguard duty. That would be very cool.

When we talk about adding Allied aircraft to SH4, We tend to forget
about that additional aspect of adding them.
Of course the Scripting guys would need to get busy!!

Gotta shoot them down before we can rescue the crews!!

And as a side?
This works for the U-boat add-on also!!

Hi everyone, this is my first post ever to this forum. I'm a graphic design student and got alot of skills drawing and working with photoshop. I'm basically offering time to help with a skinning project, as it would be both fun, and very useful experience for me.

So anyone interested in teaming up or needing extra help, drop me a line. I still need the walk through on what file formats of models to use, how to obtain them, impliment them, etc. There's alot to learn in the Modding community i've learned, and documentation for it is difficult to find.

Are there any F4 Wildcat models? I've been wanting to make a Wake Island sub mission (Wake had 2 Subs assigned to it, and were active in its defense in Dec '41)

It pains me to see that the only US fighters in SH4 are if i remember correctly, Brewster Buffalos, which promptly were just a mere relic by the end of '42. Those poor Marines on Midway stuck with them (The Norwegians loved them however).

What you all have to think about is how many more lives would have been lost if the USA, Britain, Australia and Russia had to invade Japan by force of men in arms. I know more countries were involved, but cut it short.
Japan swore to resist to the last man women and child, but once the bomb was dropped and they could not fight against that kind of weapon they knew they were done for. Even then, they thought the damage done at Hiroshima was a fluke / accident and not just a single bomb even though there on people told them it was ( scientist that is ) we told them it was and warned them, thus we dropped a second. That settled it. :roll: Flame all you want, it want change that one fact. :nope:
Estimate alone in just US WIA / KIA / MIA was estimated at over 1 Million if we had gone in by force of arms to end the war in the pacific. We didn't even have that many ground troops. This estimate was based on the last few Japan home islands the we battled the Japs on and there resistance on them which got harder and harder as we closed in. They beleived if they made the cost in lives to great for us they would win, and they were most likley right or would have at least got a negotiated ceasefire. As support for the war was wearing heavy at home.
I don't like the fact we were the first to use the A-Bomb, but it was sort of justified when looking at the "short term" picture KIA wise for all sides. But dropping the bomb cannot be changed and someone would have if the war continued as it was. If we don't all wake the heck up soon too we are gonna have a bigger war than WW2 (Not blaming just GW, many political people beside him ar ate fault here ) if we do not all come together and get over all our bickering in politics. No not a "One World Government" either. But something needs done IMHO. I like my freedom and the 2nd Ammedment to....lol, and the UN doesnt like us having the freedom to bare arms against enemy's foriegn and domestic. Yeah, I know, kinda hypocritical statement about peace and bearing arms, but there will always be criminals and I will defend myself. Here in Dallas, Texas last year over 7500 emergency calls to police took over 3 hours for the police to respond. These calls include intruders in the house, burgler's and aggrivated assaults. One call really stood out, it took the Police over 12 hours and 4 911 emergency calls before they finally came. But by then there entire house was cleaned out completely. The local news media here ripped the Police Chief a new butthole over that one...LOL

I have some UV mapping to finish and the actual placement into proper files.
This Unit will change it's Canopy as time progresses.
So it starts as the 'Bird Caged' F4U1,
then swaps Canopy area to become the F4U1A.
And you can have those opened or closed.

Any possibility of having a variation with the wing-tips clipped for the British version?:cool:

Quite handy if the BPF/Task Force 37/57 gets included again.

Best I could find at short notice - It's for Pacific Fighters, but it shows the wings rather nicely.:cool:

Right colour scheme too!:rock:

Thanks!!
BigBoyWooly sent me some killer links also.
I can do the wings with little problem.

Someone else will need to do skins after release.
I'm about as good at graphics stuff as My Huskie Storm is!!

Infact?
His a bit better at it!!

That skin brings back memories of Microsofts CFS2. Looks like the same skin. Regardless, the "Bird Cage" canopy was on early model F4U-1A's only, all after had the "Bubble" canopy I believe.

The F4U 1 was the "Birdcage" model

The F4U 1a incorporated the "blown" hood with two frames across the top. Plus it also had more modifications to improve the design, and also used a triangular shaped wedge about 8 inches long on the leading edge of the starboard[?] wing to make both wings stall at the same time so it was easier to land on a carrier deck. The oleo struts on the main landing gear had to be worked out to eliminate the bounce that plagued the early models, but was eventually worked out on the 1a model.

I hope this plane can be included in the Pacfic campaigns, how is it progressing? :)

Anvart,

I think they are pretty good links should some wish to follow them.
I had FreeShip for a time.
I have not re-installed since the last Crash.
What is NeverCenter Silo?
:hmm:

Nevermind.
I found it.
I think I'll give it a try.
And the Professional version is not a bad price should I buy it.

I think Modo 302 is better then Silo ...
3DSMax, it is the program habitual for me, but it one is not sufficient for a full cycle of designing and I try various programs for pipeline ...
...
and look PM.

P.S.
Clear PM box ...

Woah, I didn't know Rhinoceros was still around and being developed. I have two years work experience with that program back in the day. I'll have to try a fresh version, and see if i still remember it.

On another note, I've been looking to see if anyone has replaced the crappy models for the US aircraft loadout in SH4, but i'm not seeing any mods about it with [Rel] tags... am I missing/overlooking something? If not, I wan't to try and take a gander at it.
