Grab the preview download here! (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eiZwWY0-EdpBPHnBsBpJf8_lZTpYhXjI/view?usp=sharing) Install at your own risk!
EDIT: Now includes the glass texture so the pilot doesn't need to hold his breath for the mission!

So much win and awesomeness :)

The Ares has always been so underrated. I'm glad it got the upgrade it deserved. :yes:

I am a recent convert to the spikey butted Treb Truck, so it getting a facelift is perfect :-)

Look and admire, ladies and gentleman. That's how things should be HTLed :yes:

Very appeeling. ;7

You should be scalloped for that. :p

At long last, the Ares gets its new coat of paint. Sexy Spud.
-
Those fins now look like they actually DO something. :yes:
-
So we have a preview download ready; how long until the final deal is ready? ;7
I'm just waiting on a screenshot that shows the Ares' new golden canopy window. :cool:
-
The download there is what I submitted to mjn and the team. They may find a problem with it and fix it, so that's why this is a preview version. And this does have a golden canopy, but I made it a very reflective gold, that reflects the black of space more than the gold it's actually colored with... That could be fixed if mjn wants it changed.

Doing God's work buddy. It's one of my favorite ships in the game, and this remake is incredible.
-
Very cool :yes:
... and two more post before someone says "It should have been grey" :p

The first time I played FS2, I failed to noticed that this vessel exists at all. They just silently introduce new fighters at the end for whatever reason... Erinyes has a spotlight, but nothing else.
I always wondered what the storz of the Artemis D.H. and Ares was exactly here...
-
Both the Artemis DH and Ares are missable; they are allowed to the player as rewards for playing the SOC loops
-
I always wondered what the DH stood for...
-
Double Hitpoints?
-
Dark Horse (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dark_horse), I guess, considering the D.H. is supposed to be more maneuverable (but isn't) in retail; it was probably planned to be better than Artemis but the minimal visual difference would have made those better stats a suprise
-
Deaths head.
Gotta be, like the hawk-moth. I've always thought so since retail when I saw the skull.

How do I add this model to my existing game? Copy the folders contained in the ZIP file under the MediaVPs \Data folder?

The Star Citizen approach!

Yes, but check maps folder. There are higher resolution files in ares4x2k folder. If you want use them, just copy and overwrite files in maps folder.
-
I copied the folders for this model under the Data folder of the MediaVPs, but when I go to the Tech Room, the old model is still there - gnarly skin with candy-apple-red paint and all.
What am I doing wrong? :confused:
-
The problem is, the Ares pof is literally named Ares.pof. In order to actually swap the old with the new ingame you need to rename it to bonus2t-02.pof
-
No, you need to use the table file and put it in data\tables. The download has everything sorted properly. Just copy all 3 folders and paste them in your data folder.
-
I tried it both ways, leaving everything as-is and copying the 3 folders under the \Data folder of the 4.3.3 MediaVPs and also renaming the .pof file and table file entry to the "bonus" filename mentioned by Strygon, but neither method allows the new Ares model to appear in-game - I still only see the old version.
Guess I'll just wait for the next MediaVPs update that will already contain the new Ares model. :blah:
