Hello Jamal,
thanks for the quick reply. If I understand Jimi correctly, importing the model itself does not seem to be the problem, but recreating the functionality (control surfaces and switches) and retexturing it.
I have opened various fsx models with ModelConverterX, but I do not yet have any software to import these into. I will try to get my hands on a trial version, have a look at the models and then decide what to do.
Could you provide some more information please, concerning:
- How long did you work on this project altogether (weeks/months?, how many hours did you put into it - an estimate?, what work did take the most time?, what were the most difficult tasks to accomplish - in your opinion?)
- Did you start from scratch or did you have a model to start with? (if so, which one did you use?)
- Do you have any other data or information left that could help us modifying the model, or make certain changes to it, without having to decompile and reconstruct? (fixing the blue canopy issue for the d version model, or correcting the the pilot helmet/head issues? or, is it impossible without having to decompile and reconstruct?)
- Would you be willing to help/put some work into it again, in case I tried to decompile and reconstruct the current model, in order to fix some issues, or would you consider this a waste of time, considering the amount of time that needs to be invested in order to recreate the current state? What is your opinion?
I would really like to have your input here, because you have created one of the best FA-18 models I have seen so far, and have been down this road before!
Peter
