DEAD THREAD - Historic Aircraft Pack No More

[MightyDarkStar]

Dead Thread. Forget About It.

May re-start work at some point....

This sounds really, really awesome!

Modularity is key--also, making things surface-attachable rather than stuck with a fuselage.

[MightyDarkStar]

Cheers! I will need to get used to blender but this WILL be out at some point. I won't rest 'till it is!!

[MightyDarkStar]

Thanks for the advice, the gear sections will be radially attachable. As will the tailplanes.

First mesh is finished. So as you can see, the Messerschmitt Me 163 is the first aircraft in the pack!

[NathanKell]

Please check with ferram4 about how to create the wings such that FAR can handle them properly. Ain't no point in a warbird with no FAR support.

[MightyDarkStar]

I will, thanks!

I'm escaped from War Thunder...i'm again in?

[ultrasquid]

Check out the Firespitter mod kit and see what Snjo has already done. It might be something you'd want to augment, or maybe not, but the plugin could be useful to you.

[MightyDarkStar]

It is what I'll ask to use for the propellers on the WWII and WWI prop fighters! What I mean is that I'll use the dll for the propeller code.

Make sure not to use War Thunder as a resource for seeing how these planes would fly. It is the opposite of historical accuracy.

[MightyDarkStar]

Its okay, I'll try to use real data sheets so don't worry.

[MightyDarkStar]

....Modelling is taking a while - I'm VERY new to blender, but the Me 163 is going along smoothly.

I want a messchespitfang for my birthday now

Seriously, this is a cool idea. Good luck with making it!

[MightyDarkStar]

Imported the Me-163 into unity and it is undergoing testing as a static pod, needs textures though!

Don't forget the IVA! You may have to add a placeholder IVA though. I've heard IVAs are pains to make.

[MightyDarkStar]

At this moment there are no textures, IVAs or even kerbal seats. But I'm having trouble with the part.cfg setup

What problems do you have?

Hi, love this project , if you want a hand gimme a shout, as with most KSP things if it can be done someones already tried it!

Part of a set that includes, mosquito, fw190, me109, me262, spitfire of course, an english electric lightning, a partly finished buccaneer and vulcan, never released as they are all single part rtf's and they do, and I've only recently worked out how to get all the wheels on the landing gear working without a landing gear module, Would be more than willing to assist.

[MightyDarkStar]

I've seen your mod before and I give you upmost well dones. I'd really love a sneak peek for myself... that 1000 poly project still looks cool even now. Can you send me a copy through PM?(Please:)Just to play about with cause it looks super-cool!) The difference is I think is that mine will be a part set and yours is like full models. Am I correct?

What program did you use?

Good Grief that is one low quality mesh/texture.

[SpannerMonkey(smce)]

HI, yeah it uber low poly, they actually started life as props for a transport sim when I started modding, and i wondered if? well you know how it goes.

They were built in max, and yes they are one part, and as such are compromised with the possible combinations of modules and transforms for them. I wasn't even remotely suggesting that your mod would resemble those in any way, in fact if i did them now, some 3 years on they'd come out a lot nicer.

My real reason for posting is that some of the things in them may be of use to you, such as, well you dont want to stick std landing gear pods on the bottom of your spitfire do you? so you'll need some way of having gear built into the wings etc, and if you get stuck with such stuff, I could point you in the right direction, sorry if it appeared i was hijacking

[MightyDarkStar]

Thanks, but I'd still REALLY love a copy of yours just to play about and get some ideas for this project. It would be great if you could send me a copy through inbox messages, but it would be great as well if you could give me some tips. Your project may look low res but on the other hand it looks fantastic. I'll need to know how to make the rotating props and retractable wheels... in blender!

Yeah but that has so much potential!

He is a much more skilled modeller than I anyway!

[MightyDarkStar]

It's okay, I had no impression that you were trying to hijack anything let alone this silly wee project!

[MightyDarkStar]

What problems do you have?

Its not showing up ingame and I even handwrote the part.cfg properly.
