My F/A-18 super hornet model!

[NavySeal]

Hey all here is my F-18 hornet model that i am working on.  Its a navy hornet so it will have a crew compacity of 2, and various type will be included.

[NavySeal]

and the other pic with the landing gear

[quakergamer]

It looks way 2 smooth. How much polies do you have.

[NavySeal]

y is it bad to have it with high poly and smooth?

[HotShot]

It'll lag too much  

[3XTR3ME]

yeah ok Mr. Pentium 166MHz and a 4 MB SiS Video card....

Get a manly Geforce4 Ti4600 like me and you wont have any video lag.

[NavySeal]

ok i am sry to annouce to those with bad video cards, i cant help nut to play with realistic things. im sry i will make a more less poly one, but i have a good comp that dont lagg at all, i have some in game pics too i will post tonight or tomorow morning, wiht out textures, textures will begin shortly.  There will be a marines hornet and a navy hornet.  wiht various types of loadouts, such as recon, air to air, or air to ground. but right now i have to go to work.  check out my site.

Looks all fine, talented & all  

It also looks like a plane for the chosen few and gifted (with cash!)  

But as there are already quite a big addon-jets-park on the net,
I guess it won't hurt anyone to create a top_10 prduct.

Just don't expect too many hits in yer DL section, m8  :-\
I'm running 750 mHz and Gforce3, 256 MB ram and I'm having problems
with some of "mechanic"s  cars, if you know those.  
So if this plane is even "sharper", it would kill any cpu below 1500 mHz  

not very userfriendly, but looks good. Guess it's a query of whom you are as a person
- do you make addons just for yourself, or do you make addons for
yourself AND the community? The latter, I assume, since you're posting here at all...  

and thus:

please don't be TOO egoistic when modelling.
Not everyone out there have a wallet ( or a mom/dad ) like yours!  :'( ;D

Anyway, as I said, several aircraft is already out there, so it prolly doesn't matter in this case.
If you'd created a "living" cow or a horse and made it such a "rich folks only" addon,
you would of been killed within the hour  ;D ( j/k, lazzy )

PEEZ - all in good thought, right?!  

[Vixer]

Well if you make a less poly model and select some parts and make it smooth with o2 not by adding more polys but just using the tool smooth it will look fine

[Tomb]

Great idea there, vixer!  

[PunkerSXDX]

Very Nice Model, Nice Job, a lower Poly count would be Nice Concidering My Computer is Weak, but That'll be Okay, Keep it Up! :thumbsup:

[NavySeal]

People People please...

[Tomb]

Looking forward to grab some great stuff from ya, lazzy!!!  :thumbsup: :toocool:

 You've got talent  

[NavySeal]

thanks, Im sry but there isnt a release date yet for it because like umm.... model isnt fully done its self. i got som lil dumb bugs on it.  like sometimes parts of it is transparent. but im workin on it.  then all the texture stuff. hey i got the cockpit almost done and all. it will havea vertical display for the pilot!! ya!!!  more to come later

[Deadsoldier]

I found this model on the web too, its 12,000 polys LOL! yeah its crazy..i thought of making it simple..but it was too much of a hassel. This is not a super hornet, its the old one, look at it.

It would be great if u can edit this model to suit the OFP engine and all our pc's..keep your highest limit to 5000 polys.

cheers.

[PunkerSXDX]

Ya Can't Rush Art!  

[Tigershark]

If you really wanna see if it lags your comp Navy....put 4 of em in a mission with West and East troops fighting below and few helos in there supporting them.

Or how about on a runway with troops patrolling and vehicles moving round.


ie....in a real mission situation.

Even high poly count models (models over say 3000 polys in the first LOD) won't lag if you fly them around Desert Island.....but put them in a mission with a few other units fighting and watch the game slow down to a Matrix style kung fu scene.

Just remember...if you're gonna put all this effort into a model for the community, you'd be pretty pissed if they snubbed cause it made their game lag. No point building something no is gonna use right. So take my advice...try and get it below 3000 polys in the first LOD and you'll have a winner on your hands.

[Skaircro]

This might be a silly question, but how do you find out how many polys are in a model in o2?

[King Homer]

Yeah great plane........... you Motherfucker:
All other can download the 3ds-file on http://www.3dcafe.com/models/f18.zip

[Deadsoldier]

man whats your problem..so what ..he downloaded the plane.. this is how most people get their addons..if i found a good model ont he net..i would use it to save time...if not..then ill make my own.

cheers

[King Homer]

Yes ok
but i don't write if i had downloaded the model:
I've made this F18......

[KTottE]

ROOAARGH!!!!!!!!!

Why the bloody F-in hell is the "Reset Form" button placed next to "Preview" and "Post". Arf!

I had a 10+ page reply written.

* KTottE curses the makers of YaBBC *

Oh well, we'll make do with the shorter version.

First:
Skaircro.
Select your model, bottom left corner, there's a point and face(polygon) count.

Second:
King Homer.
What's with the attitude?
There's no need to go off the way you did. Got any problems with anyone on the forum?
Write him/her a civil PM and explain how you feel.
If the problem remains, feel free to contact a moderator or a global mod with your problems.

Do not insult people, not in threads nor in PMs. It's not nice you know.

In my world, we live by the motto:

Treat others like you want to be treated yourself.

It's that simple, really.
Act a jerk, get treated like one.
Act a gentleman, get treated like one.

If you feel that this F/A-18 is immoral in anyway, please, feel free to not download it. I will do it, however, and pray that someone makes a decent Behind Enemy Lines mission.

So hurry up and get this done now, y'hear?

Please note that I have not issued any warnings or somesuch here, I'm just telling you all that if you play nice on my watch, I'll play even nicer.

Now all of you, git y'all asses back to work. I want to see an F/A-18 on my table ;D

/KTottE (Still pissed off about the loss of the last post)

[Wolfsbane]

King Homer.

If you ever have another outburst against a Member like that again, you will be banned from this Forum.

I am not forgiving as KtottE and never have been, and I, like the several people that Reported This Post, do not appreciate your attitude, towards what is essentially a well-meant, if mis-placed Post.

I suggest you rectify your attitude.

[PunkerSXDX]

Frankly, I don't Care who made the Model! I just Care about seenig this Plane, so how's it going?

[Frosty]

Man, don't take too long with that ;D cos you know, OFP is best suited for fighter bombers like the Hornet.
Ahh, I remember the days of the game FA/18 Hornet. Used to play it at primary schools in the morning.

[NavySeal]

PPL! im the one who put this file on 3dcafe, and some other sites to, cause i made it in 3d sudio max like a long time ago. and like umm... how are you gonan say all this.  Im the original person of this. i have so amny other models too! cause i used to model all the time like 2 years ago.  i found all these on my comp. so chill. i really made em. and i am the author of the one on 3d cafe.  so cheers

[Eviscerator]

can you prove you are the modeller? and if you are the modeller of it, you would know its a lot easier to make it again, to correct all the inside faces (what you call a bug, but being a modeller you would know this isnt a bug, wouldnt you?) it would make the poly count a lot worse, being such a good modeller it wouldnt be hard for you to make a lower poly version with it tailored towards ofp's needs and it would still look good, but thats assuming you really did make the F/A-18...

[NavySeal]

i did make a low polly one, and the bug that i have in my model, is that in the low polly model has some transparent parts on it that. and m fixing that.  and if you have combat flight simulater 2.  i was the modeler for the mod team that made the peral harbor addon. flight one. but ne ways... ya whether you belive me or not i really dont care. im just amkin something that the ofp fans would like to have. its no compitition evis..  i dont know y you cares omuch let alone dont belive me..

[PunkerSXDX]

Damn It Guys Stop Bickering about the Stupid Model and who made it   let's see some Pictures!   this is Stupid, I need a Hornet soon so get to work I'll help if I can but there's not Much I can do, and I got my own Mod, and I'm working on an M16 with a Scope (I didn't make the whole Model, so don't start, I just added the Scope, but who Cares? )

[NavySeal]

im workin on it.  But it need help! i suck at o2 to places textures where they go! ahh this is horrible! help me!
