Thats right. I got the wings to fold up and unfold with correct timing! (although the timing may be off from REAL life F4F-4 wing retracts, but I do not know the REAL timing) They fold up in an ordered sequence and unfold in an ordered sequence. I also added an arastor hook. Now Im goin to send this to my buddy Falck so he can add the correct parts. Falck I tried to work on the shadow, but no go. Also, when trying to fix the LOD problem (the pink dot) OPS corrupted my file and I had to start all over agian. If during your improvement stage you mess up the DOFs dont worry. I now know how to get them working correctly in no time at all!  [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 07-04-2000).] IP: Logged |

biggels3, The skin you see is Pachys Marlet skin with added red dots (because they just plain look kewl) and I erased the 'wheels' that were on the skin so when you put your gear down there wont still be wheels on the skin. I'll send you the skin. Do you want the wing retracts too? Razer, I cant update the model as my AC3d is not regestered. All I can do is OPS stuff at the moment (even my OPS skills need improving, I have yet to learn how to do shadows) If I knew anything about FMs Id have a go at that but I dont so... sorry.  As soon as Falck adds the wing hydrolics and cuts the wing at the right place and sends it back to me I'll get some one to post it. If any one wants the wing retracts so far, e-mail me or just say so in this post. [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 07-04-2000).] IP: Logged |

argon,when you get things ready for a release, send me the sm file and i'll redo all the props to be more realistic. It's something small and wont take me but about 10 mins to do so i don't mind it. ------------------

Razer, will do I got an e-mail today describing how the wing retract sequence works. I will update the DOFs on the F4F-4s wings now to show this properly. IP: Logged |

Ok, it took me 20 minutes to update it. I believe I have the sequence correct but just to be sure I sent it to a guy who knows the sequence. Here's a pic  [This message has been edited by ArgonV (edited 07-04-2000).] IP: Logged |

Later on, when I get the updated sm from Falck, I MAY (Im still thinking how it will be done and if it can be done correctly) make it where the men appear to fold the wings. IF I do it I'll make their arms and legs move around and stuff. But this is a big IF because then I will need someone to make the legs and arms seperate from the pilot model and do an appropiate skin for deck crewmen. That and it will take some time to do all the DOFs. IP: Logged |
