Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Here's an F-14D. It's giving me a headache. For some reason, during the DAE-POF conversion, the "center" of the wings subobjects switches to the other side, making the wings rotate strangely. That, and the fighter's got lighting issues, I think.

I'm so glad I'm trying to help you with this project...  :D

By the way, did you ever find that UCAV  I uploaded useful? It will need a new map, of course, but otherwise the mesh should be pretty decent. I can always go back over it as well.

Are you going to have the wings sweep back when afterburner is engaged?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

It'd be better to make the wing sweep a variable based on indicated air speed. That's how they work in reality, rather than being an on/off sort of thing.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
Is that how the Horus's fins work at the moment? They rotate once the ship hits a certain speed?

No, they rotate after engaging afterburner.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
No, they rotate once you hit Afterburners. There is, AFAIK, no speed-based animation trigger.

Is there a way to simulate movement relative to skybox? Watching the same place for 10 minutes during dogfight doesn't make much sense IMHO.

Screens are awesome, by the way.

There is not, unfortunately. Nor can the skybox elements be reached.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
I just came up with a neat idea for Wings: unlockables! Destroying hidden targets in certain missions will unlock a special bonus fighter based on a real-world design. None of these fighters are canon in the Wings storyline--they are just bonus material:


F-14G Tomcat II, unlockable fighter for the United States. A heavy strike fighter with loads of missiles.

Re: A celebration of FreeSpace
The little winglets on the Horus rotate 90 degrees when the afterburner is engaged.

which seems weird because it presents more air resistance right (I know it's a space fighter)?, but what the hell, still looks very cool.

Really it was just an aesthetic choice on VA's part (IIRC he said that those things "looked like they should move") :D

Well I like it very much.

I tend to switch to the outside camera just to see those flip when flying the Horus :D
