Another WIP list update

Here we go again, I don't really know if peopel still frequent this blog, that's why I am not really updating it often anymore... Perhaps leave some feedback to let me know.

Former WIP list was this:

-C-130J Hercules and AC-130H Spectre (done)
-CFA-44 Nosferatu
-ADFX-02 Morgan
-Boeing 767-300ER
-Boeing 747-400 or -8i (maybe both) (done 747-100)
-Airbus A330-300 (or -200)
-Airbus A340-600 (done)
-Concorde (done)
-Panavia Tornado (being worked on)
-CH-149 Mohawk
-NH-90 (being worked on by Oskar)
-US Space Shuttle
-Stryker MGS (now done)
-Stryker ICV
-LAV III
-B-1B Lancer (was also on an older WIP list)
-B-52H Stratofortress (was also on an older WIP list)
-Patriot missile pack (missile launcher trailer, radar trailer and different vehicles)
-F-14 remake
-A-10 remake
-F-16D Fighting Falcon

Mods done which were not on the list:

Chevrolet Suburban Armored
VH-60N Whitehawk

In addition to this I would like to add:

As you can see, most mods I have done were NOT on the planned list. SHows that I always like to do what's currently in my mind. Still, it's a rough plan of vehicles I like and would certainly like to do.

[WIP]YF-12A Interceptor

The SR-71 is cool and all... But don't you sometimes wish it had weapons? Well, the YF-12A is a lesser known sibling of the SR-71 (or pretty much it's predecessor) able to carry AIM-47 missiles in internal weapon bays. It never made it past the prototype stage. The *most* visible changes to the exterior are 4 bottom bays with weapon and electronic equipment, a chin nose instead of the round and smooth SR-71 nose, a fin on the bottom of each engine and a centerline bottom fin which would retract with the gear due to its size.

Current progress:
Front weapon bays next to front gear done
Fins on engines done
Chin nose done

Left to do:
Centerline fin
Rear weapon bays
New skin/markings

[WIP]SR-71A Blackbird progress

To get a little live in the blog again, here is an update on the SR-71A:

Completely new nozzles. The Black Ops model (base model of this mod) lacked any distinctive nozzle whatsoever and that bugged me so much that I went ahead and created a new one. In the background you can see how it looked like before.

Additionally I have added some high resolution markings to the aircraft. Here you can see the rudder markins and in the background simple "NO STEP" markings on the fuselage

Ingame screenshots with afterburner (working for add-on version)

What will I add/improve?

Well, for one the engine inlets... On pretty much EVERY picture of the SR-71 you can see them open (they are in front of the nozzle). This would need a major remodelling, but I guess I really want to have them open...

A retexture of the gear bays. Right now they're plain black.

Maybe add the photo cameras on the bottom of the aircraft.

Aerial refueling hatch: Really, I don't know how this works. Is it always open or does it have a cover? Bceuase on many pictures and exhibits it is open, but I could swear at least the NASA versions have closed covers...

WIP mod pictures and upcoming mods

I really gotta update here more often. Here are some pictures of mods I am working on... SR-71 Blackbird (started converting), E-2D Hawkeye (exterior converted, need to make a cockpit) and US Army helicopter helmets (AH-64 Apache helmet and MH-60 Black Hawk helmet with mask).

Other mods being worked on: Valkyrie Space Shuttle from Avatar and USS Nathan James DDG-151

USS Nathan James Mk-38 weapon station:

Apache helmet (beta without textures)

Other mods coming up soon (planned):

-C-130J Hercules and AC-130H Spectre

-C-5M Super Galaxy

-CFA-44 Nosferatu

-ADFX-02 Morgan

-Boeing 767-300ER

-Boeing 747-400 or -8i (maybe both)

-Airbus A330-300 (or -200)

-Airbus A340-600

-Concorde

-Panavia Tornado

-NH-90

-US Space Shuttle

-Stryker MGS

-Stryker ICV

-LAV III

An update of the work I have been doing.

Long time no update and the list of released mods is... low... like... very low. Only the AT-99 has been released recently.

That's because:

a) I had to cut back on time because of my life outside of the modding scene
b) I have been working on the Avatar vehicles pack
c) I have been working on a detailed model of a DDG Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer


Status of b):

The AT-99 has been released as appetizer, but will be remade for the package. A new collision, tweaked materials and better cockpit will be implemented.
The Valkyrie Space Shuttle is still awaiting its cockpit. The HUD with its systems has been finished and shown during the preview video of the Valkyrie.
The SA-2 Samson is finished and comes in two version: One normal SEC-Ops version with missiles, buzzard MG and hook to carry vehicles. The other one is "Rogue One". Special paintscheme of the SA-2 flown by Trudy Chacon (Michelle Rodriguez) in the movie with missiles, Savage MG and no hook.
The Dragon Assault Ship... The model is there, but the cockpit and landing gear are still missing. I also haven't even started to convert that thing.

Status of c):

The model is entirely new and NOT from BF4. It features a bridge with interior and two complete hangars. Model is still in progress to add a CIWS platform and MK-38 weapon stations. A lot of models for this have been donated by the same person who also provides me with textures and lots of background knowledge.
A fitting Seahawk helicopter should be finished soon.

Pictures will follow.

F-14D Super Tomcat Update and AH-1Z Viper screenshot teasers

The F-14D gets yet another update:

-higher resolution textures
-script for automatic variable wings
-double afterburner

And then we have the latest USMC attack helicopter, converted from Battlefield 3 and 4. This thing is a beauty.

Mods mods mods

Long time no hear.

Oh well, been busy and away, but I have a few things I'm working on (or worked on).

Things that are done/near done:

Apache 1.3 with moveable Machine Gun objects. (needs more testing)
USMC Rhib boat. (Machine gun refuses to work)
UH-1D Iroquois (armed with rockets and MGs and a second version with side mounted M60s)
F-14D 1.? (new textures, wing sweep script and double afterburner)

I will work a little more slowly now because of work, but I will keep on it. A list or plan for mods? Nothing really safe for now.

Things that I really want to do:

B-1B Lancer

GTA V Airbus A380-800

Should be available for download soon. The windows light up at night, something which I will probably add to the 757 mod as well.

So far the liveries are:

House
Etihad
Lufthansa
British Airways
Thai Airways
Qantas
Emirates
Korean Air

GTA V F-22 screenshots

Here you have something to look at while the release is coming

And I'm going to start converting an A380-800 for GTA V with livery support. (finished mapping the body today)

Will also post a new planned list of mods soon, so keep your eyes peeled.

Progress of Arleigh Burke class destroyer and GTA V Abrams inagme pics.

Well, I have been working a little more on the Arleigh Burke Class destroyer I'm planning to convert for GTA V.

The bottom has ben completely renewed to portray that of a real AB class destroyer (before it was just... meh, look at the older post). I have also modelled the entrances for both of the heli hangar doors. One of them will be openable, the other one stays closed. The bridge now has actual windows and the turret is very detailed as well.

And then here are two ingame pics of the M1A2 in GTA V.

And the destroyed one. The engine area, munitions compartment and driver cabin will have that burned look and some parts break off (rear reactive armor, some side panels, MG, hatches, bags, etc)

Planned GTA V mods

I thought I could just throw a quick list of planned vehicle mods together regarding GTA V. (Oh and I also have a 90% finished B-2A Spirit for GTA San Andreas... I need to finish that one)

The first one... Well, you can download a test version here:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/gwmh7p7max0f545/SSN700_Dallas.RAR

I need feedback whether you can spawn it without problems or not. It will probably drive like shit, because it has no handling line, BUT that is the point. I have asked someone to create a handling line for it, but his game crashes constantly with the Submarine, while my game works fine. So, please install this (update/x64/dlcpacks/patchday1ng/dlc.rpf/x64/levels/gta5/vehicles.rpf) and tell me if you can spawn it or not.

The mod we're talking about is the USS Dallas, a Los Angeles class Submarine of the US Navy.

The other ones are still only plans, though I have started with the CV-22 Osprey today.

So, the list:

-CV-22 Osprey (̶b̶̶a̶̶s̶̶e̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶n̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶i̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶o̶̶d̶̶e̶̶l̶̶:̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶t̶̶t̶̶p̶̶:̶//̶w̶̶w̶̶w̶̶.̶̶g̶̶t̶̶a̶̶4̶-̶m̶̶o̶̶d̶̶s̶̶.̶̶c̶̶o̶̶m̶/̶v̶̶e̶̶h̶̶i̶̶c̶̶l̶̶e̶̶s̶/̶c̶̶v̶-̶2̶̶2̶-̶o̶̶s̶̶p̶̶r̶̶e̶̶y̶-̶e̶̶p̶̶m̶-̶f̶̶3̶̶0̶̶9̶̶6̶̶0̶)̶ ̶̶w̶̶i̶̶l̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶v̶̶e̶̶r̶̶t̶̶i̶̶c̶̶a̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶n̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶o̶̶r̶̶i̶̶z̶̶o̶̶n̶̶t̶̶a̶̶l̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶l̶̶i̶̶g̶̶h̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶b̶̶i̶̶l̶̶i̶̶t̶̶y̶̶,̶̶ ̶̶w̶̶o̶̶r̶̶k̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶̶ ̶̶l̶̶a̶̶n̶̶d̶̶i̶̶n̶̶g̶̶ ̶̶g̶̶e̶̶a̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶n̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶p̶̶e̶̶n̶̶a̶̶b̶̶l̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶r̶̶a̶̶m̶̶p̶̶s̶̶.̶̶ ̶̶i̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶a̶̶v̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶e̶̶d̶̶i̶̶t̶̶e̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶m̶̶o̶̶d̶̶e̶̶l̶̶,̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶o̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶a̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶n̶̶l̶̶y̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶r̶̶i̶̶g̶̶h̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶i̶̶d̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶a̶̶s̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶ ̶̶d̶̶o̶̶o̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶f̶̶r̶̶o̶̶n̶̶t̶̶ ̶(̶t̶̶h̶̶e̶̶ ̶̶i̶̶v̶̶ ̶̶c̶̶o̶̶n̶̶v̶̶e̶̶r̶̶t̶̶ ̶̶h̶̶a̶̶d̶̶ ̶̶a̶̶ ̶̶d̶̶o̶̶o̶̶r̶̶ ̶̶o̶̶n̶̶ ̶̶b̶̶o̶̶t̶̶h̶̶ ̶̶s̶̶i̶̶d̶̶e̶̶s̶)

These mods are not in any particular order and maybe something will be squeezed in and something else will be left out, but so far... That's the plan.

[WIP/V]F-35B Lightning II

Just thought I'd post some WIP screenshots of the upcoming F-35B for GTA V :)

A work in progress: F-14D Super Tomcat for GTA V

Today I have taken my firt look at GTA V modding and immediately started with an aircraft. One of my favorites, if not THE favorite aircraft will hopefully find it's decent representation in GTA V. Since I have not spent that much time on it so far, there is not much to see (yet)

What is working already?

Elevators
Ailerons (I have used the flaps as ailerons, since spoilers are not supported)
Openable canopy
Rudders
Brakes

Some minor stuff:
Wings and missiles can break off after a crash
Vapor trails on wingtips
Afterburner for the left engine (I really hope I can duplicate it for the other engine)
Correct weapon placement

I will move on to the gear tomorrow.
