Thank you Western!  The Jet Age is in good hands... 

[western0221]

SUU-23 , 20mm gunpod for F-4 etc.

rebuild from F-4 pack's contents.

GPU-5 , 30mm gunpod for F-16 and F-5 (used by only Thai).


Those new weapon models will be released in my new Generation 2016 Weapon pack in Modworx section in not so long waiting.
But you'll be able to see them only with new modded Jets "using them in their loadout" ones.

Beautiful work, Western  

[western0221]

New US retardered bombs ..... Mk81 SnakeEye , Mk83 Ballute , Mk84 Ballute


They are already published in Weapon pack Generation 2016.
But you'll see them only after some new Jets using them as loadouts will be published.

Very impressive work western0221, Could you add the AIM-4 falcon AAM to you list of ordnance, an important  missile for Vietnam buffs, Carried by F-4D & F-4E, Even thought the weapon was a failure, Thanks.

I know AIM-4 and (even its priority is low) I want to modelize it in the future.

The Ballute series versions looks specially beautiful to my eyes. Very excellent 3d-modeling!

In latter half of February, I become busy and impossible to try big projects,
but separated short span waiting times for processing are existing .....
I try small simple modeling.

Here are Air-to-Air missile launchers for next F/A-18 converting into Gen2016


LAU-7 (for only AIM-9 ) is already published in Gen2016 pack by me .....
I research its dimension and add small retouch again.
I found height is less than historical, but I decide to left incorrect style (not so different) to avoid hook position confusing for already published F-5 mod and other under WIP Jets.


Others are new.
I think none of them have been published in IL-2 1946 as a single weapon object (not a part of an aircraft's hier.him) .

LAU-115 is a single rail launcher for AIM-7 Sparrow.
It is also used as an adapter for Twin LAU-127 combination.
'A' is older. 'C' is newer and its additional top part is said "Jettison Kit".
'A' and 'C' have different missile hook positions in X-axis and Z-axis, so not compatible each other.

LAU-127 is a single rail launcher for both AIM-9 Sidewinder and AIM-120 AMRAAM.
I make its height a bit lower in my plan to make compatible to (a bit incorrect) LAU-7 about missile hook positions.

Twin LAU-127 on LAU-115 A/C enable to carry 2x AIM-9 or 2x AIM-120 under one hardpoint.
Its similar kit was composed in F/A-18C/D mod with non historical shape.
I make historical shapes with LAU-115 model and LAU-127 model.
Its LAU-115 'A' model and 'C' model are not compatible each other about missile hook posiotins.

By the way, Twin LAU-7 on LAU-115A is possible and historical operated combination. But I think not needed , LAU-127 on LAU-115 covers it.


And so ..... common launchers for other Jets are only LAU-7 and LAU-127 (very similar to LAU-128 and -129).
Others maybe used only on F/A-18.
F-16 carries AIM-7 in a direct mount style ; no use rails by many photos.

Great idea !

[western0221]

BRU-33A "canted vertical ejector rack (CVER)"

Not remake of F/A-18 contents, but scratch build by myself.

BRU-33A carries 2x Mk83 1000lbs bombs


BRU-33A is expanded to "Smart Rack" BRU-55 for F/A-18 series and BRU-56 for F-16 with a bit different type ejector unit.
They look almost same to BRU-33A.
So, this new model can be used as BRU-55 or BRU-56, too.

 ----- -----

F/A-18C/D mod had 2000lbs JDAM model.
I rebuild it to correct diameter , UV mapping error and make better LOD and shadow models.
From completed new 2000lbs (based on Mk84 GPLD bomb) JDAM "GBU-31" , I resize and retouch into 1000lbs (based on Mk83) JDAM "GBU-32".
And rebuilding from Mk82 500lbs bomb, "GBU-38" is also made.

Those look amazing. Very beautiful modeling.
I wonder if its too many polygons and details.
It might slow down the game with too many polygons?

LOD system will do well.





All of my Full Retouch models in Weapon Pack Generation 2016 , those dynamic LOD polycount decreasing is done.
(No retouch models "Marked as only position tune" are not.)
