Introducing some new aircraft for SH3 (pics inside) - Need advice...

Great, nice ! many thanks for your job !

The polycount recommended for aircraft is between 1 and 2 thousand but the battleships are up to 35000 so if your over the 2 dont worry too much - will only be a problem if you have loads on the screen at one time

Yes aircraft can be added - the floatplanes are an addition http://web.telia.com/~u18230645/ Sergbuto did them so he may be the best to help you

Maybe one aircraft to do is the Spitfire which can double up as the Seafire for carrier use as you tend to see a lot more fighters than bombers - well I do anyway

Good luck in your model

Wow! Outstanding model!
This would so rock in SH3. To bad we all have to crash-dive on sight! :hmm:

Can I put in a vote for the F4F Wildcat (RN Martlet)? It was a MAJOR player in ASW hunter-killer patrols in conjunction with the Avengers. In brief, the fighters would strafe the boat, forcing it to dive whereupon the Avenger would run in with rockets, depth charges or "Fido" homing torpedoes.

While Seafire/Spitfire would be good to have for specific missions (Battle of Britain, aircraft ferry to Malta, etc) I humbly submit the Wildcat would be a much more useful adversary in the near term.

With 4000 polys which are still within the limits recommended by Devs for aircraft one can make fine aircraft models, such f.e. this Mosquito

Actually, Mosquito is not new. The screenshots were posted on these forums in December, 2005. I did not release the model because I could not make transparant glass for the cabin (which irritates me a lot) and wanted to have the aircraft with rockets as well.

Avro and Blenheim were made by Vaa. They are on the level of SH3 stock models. He also made Wildcat and some other aircrafts (do not remember all).

Serg,

Is it possible to use "virtual" rockets? Maybe put eight five-inch guns in the fuselage with one round of HE ammunition each?

Last time when I tried to give Mosquito such "rockets", the aircraft would not run out of ammunition, infinitely circling around the target and firing at it. But I think I might have made a mistake in testing and it may be possible to do. I need to come back at some point to do more testing,

I tried something like that but it did not work out for me. But I think I know what was wrong at that time. I will try this kind of object again. Thanks for pointing.
