AWESOME!!![/i]

[deep_eyes]

I can imagine that fighter as possibly the most agile and able fighter to be introduced. it looks like it can backflip and sommersault behind another fighter...


uber-awesome!

[Setekh]

Hamano, that sure is one unique fighter. Can't wait to see it in action.

[Culando]

Very cool fighter, I like it. But I really don't like those spikey things in the front. Though that's just me. The rest of the design is really cool, kinda remenisant of FS1 tech.

[IceFire]

I like it .  Draws enough cues for FS2 style design to make it fit.  Take out the big giant spikes and replace them with short stubs (if they are meant to be cannons/gun emplacements) which are more practical and serve to make the ship look much more realistic in terms of Terran design and construction.  I love how the main body is tapered into the engines and wings...well done!

[Woolie Wool]

I like the long barrels.

[Rictor]

Looks good. Very stealth-ops like.

[StratComm]

Hamano, I'm going to suggest that you remove the white spot on the glass and spec map it instead.  Truespace won't show it off, but it'll look much better in the game.

I'll also go with what's been said already, chop off the poles and make the guns little stubs like they are on the rest of the fighters.  If nothing else do it so that the laser bolts actually look like they start at the right place; putting a firepoint in front of the eyepoint creates visual glitches since the model itself isn't rendered when you are flying it.  Otherwise, three thumbs up

You all realise suggesting mesh changes when he has started mapping it is useless, right? Anyway, if he likes it that way, he has no reason of changing anything.
As for the glass thing, as he wants it to work on vanilla FS2, it's better to have the "white spots". Easier to remove them if you want to use it with the SCP build, rather than redraw them for the other way around

doh I often do mesh changes when I already started mapping...

maybe that's the reson for it always take ages to me:p

Not bragging about that may be smart

[Hamano]

Thanks,
I love long barrel, however, I must shorten to avoid glich that StratComm said.

More difficulty.
I prepared this thruster prume, but this shows bad form when engine is idle.
Base end must be vertical.
I must change shape of engine nozzle of main hull.

[Taristin]

Are you sure it's not an axis related problem?

[StratComm]

no, the base has to be verticle or you get a strange cutoff.  Basically, the point at which the axis sits is the point around which the end of the thruster scales; at idle everything before the axis remains normal, while everything after gets chopped off.  With that steep angle, there's essentially nothing that can be done.

[karajorma]

It will look fine in FS2 open though and that's what most of us will be using so it's not a complete disaster  

[StratComm]

What, if it gets scaled down into the model you mean?  No, that's doable no doubt (though it'll require some minor mapping changes).  But with that system the engine will go off completely at around half-power.

[karajorma]

Hmmm. You could be right there.

[StratComm]

It really isn't a big deal in open, as you said, because the trails all but cover the physical plume up.  It's more of a design trend that people should be aware of when making fighters than anything Hamano needs to worry too heavily about.

[Corsair]

It actually looks a bit like a ship I've been trying to sketch out for some time. Except that I can't draw so it sucks.

It looks awesome Hamano. Now let us download it as soon as it's done.

[Hamano]

I changed thruster prume form,
but other glitches appeared at red circles!
This is far side polygon partialy appeares beyond nearside polygon.
More engine nozzle working will be required. Hmm.
