Title: The Bomber variant of the apollo.
Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on December 08, 2002, 09:20:54 am
Yes, I've made one. ME! The member who's never released anything ever before!

I have lengthened the cockpit, modified the tectures a bit, and converted the guns to missiles and viceversa. I'll post some screenies when I get the chance. I might also put it up for download somewhere.

Can we use it for the TVWP? Please:D  We could use a good one, and I don't mean the piece of ****s one that I tried to do.

Copy & paste is A-1 SUPAR. :)

Your first post notwithstanding, POTV, what's changed?  It looks exactly the same as a normal Apollo.

There are some subtle differences; the red chevrons, the missile bays, the elongated cockpit. It still needs work, but it's heading in the right direction.

Naw, sorry, mac, it's way off. For one, there should be GTB Apollo on the side, the back should be red, the nose should be a bit shorther than what you have it now, and thicker. Everything (except engine pods) should basically be thickened. Also, nose is too pointy.

Why?

And I have no model editing facilities (besides PCS), this was done with nothing but PSP and modelview.

Oh. I thought you used a modeler for it.
BTW, the reason I said those is because, if you look at the FS1 intro, it shows most of the things I said.
Hell, I might do it when I get home today, I'm so damn bored.

ahh, well, I dont agree with the Cutscenes, as they were clearly made independantly of the game, thereby rendering them inaccurate.

They're accurate in showing what the bomber variant of the Apollo would be :D
Still, it barely looks any different. If I'm not creating my brand-new-cool-looking-ship-that-no-one-cares-about (TM), then I might do it, so there :p

Well I'll just warp and pervert it and release it as the Apollyon II, then!

"pervert it"?
And what's the Apollyon?

Yeah. They make mistakes like showing the apollo as a two person bomber even though everyone knows the apollo is a fighter. You really can`t trust those cutscenes :D

Eh, I thought the cutscene showed GTF and a number on the side of the Apollo. :confused:
