I modified the Sidewinders cfg from BDArmoury for the AA-12 a while ago, and I am using an old texture from another mod for the missile itself because it just wasn't right for a AIM-9. If you would like I can send you a copy of that file in a PM.

Here is a few pics of it next to an AIM-120 and the AIM-9 from BDArmoury.

I had planned on making my own model for the AA-12 only because there are some little differences between the two.

If I could make my own model I would, unfortunately time and lack of skill prevented me. And I realized I named it the wrong thing... it should be AA-11/R-73. Because that is the missile I modeled it after. Doh!

No worries, much of those missiles were based off an AIM-9 the Russians captured.

[Avalant]

Very cool! Always excited for BD Armory additions and diversity!

Looks promising.

Assuming you're using Blender, you should apply smooth shading to the mesh and add edge splits to hard angular areas - that would make the missile body less faceted and more aesthetically pleasing.

Good point and yes I am using Blender, still getting the hang of it. I'll be revising the model once I have it working game.

Edit: figured it out! Thanks sumghai!

YAY!

Updated the gallery with a couple of new pics.

HI, great work, you certainly didn't hang around, looking fwd to seeing what else you come up with.

Yeh, it has a 1000m blast to represent the warhead. Now if only I could animate the impact smoke and fire into a mushroom cloud.

Added picture of the Vympel R-27 missile (AA-10 Alamo)

Pictures of the Sukhoi cockpit are up!

Damn good cockpit, not to sound greedy or whiny, but if you could make a piece together kit of the entire plane that'd be great; as in cockpit, noise, fuelsalage, tail, wings, engines etc. etc. This reduces part count insanely and makes it very simple to make in game.

[Mekan1k]

I liked the old green missile's fire effect. It seemed more... Refined, I guess.

Oh that was the smoke effect getting tested. The "big green" missile has the same fire effect as the older render, I just added smoothing to make the missile more round..

Yes, a SU fuselage system is coming, it is based off the original Red Star Co-op mod, but more refined.

if your doing a somewhat "redux" of red star Co-op mod, you'll need the ejection seat, that was what helped make that mod so awesome. (i have a version of KSP just for it )

I may revisit the ejection seat. All I need to do is have a plugin that does the same for the external command seat but allows the player to see an IVA.

[nli2work]

actually.. redstar made the ejection seat the actual command part; the cockpit is just cosmetic. you can do the same without any plugins.

[boontze]

is there a download yet? if so can we see it please.

I'm aware of that. My issue is showing the pilot with the correct suit (if texture replacer is used) but show the IVA, and have an EVA without trapping Kerbals.

Working out a few issues with one of the models and the particle effects not showing up. I'll release an alpha as soon as it is ready.

I look forward to your download release. If you need any information, I used to have a fair amount of resources on old Soviet Military technology.

[Eskandare]

Ran into a problem. For some reason after I added the Ladder, HandHold, and Airlock triggers my model stopped being displayed in KSP. Not sure what happened. I followed TT's IVA tutorial. The mesh displayed normally before... Hmmmn.

Edit: Fixed it, had may hierarchy all wrong.
