Hope I'm posting this in the right place.
Here are some of Dad's works from his work in progress folder that I'm sure he would have wanted you all to have. I'm not sure how complete they are but I hope someone will take them underwing and finish them up if needed. I have to head home tonight but I'll pop in the next time I'm here and if I find anything else I'll post it here. Also if anything is required to finish these let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you.
Thanks and take Care,
Adam

It is with deep sadness that I hear this news, the work of your father both on airplanes and skins was beautiful, and it is very honorable of you to share his wips.
I am sure that some here will know how to make the most of it and thus pay homage to it.
Shudder condolences

Hi, Adam !
All my thoughts are with you, and you have all my sympathy for the loss you have (sorry for my poor English...). My best condolences to you and yll aour family.
And also thank you for your father's work for this community. I hope some of the guys here will finish these mods, as a kind of tribute (do not know if this is the right word) to your father. I am sure he would be happy to see these planes finished and flying in the skies, where he belongs now !
Gaston

a great person and thank you for all of these
-
A little late to the news; but I would also like to extend my fullest sympathy and support to you and your folks at the passing of your Old Man (that's not rude, is it?) We can only pray he's gone to a better place.
He did something pretty amazing and selfless: spending years putting out projects for basically zero return, other then to make everyone's experience with this long-running sim that much more enjoyable.
For that, he has my utmost thanks.
And damn, the things he was working on definitely look interesting.
-
Thank You.
-
Thank you from the Russian modders.
Our condolences.
-
Thank you Adam for your generosity.
My condolences to your family in this difficult time.

So sorry to hear the sad news, and very grateful for the legacy that your father's work represents.

That is an amazing cockpit design for a drone.
However, I believe the MQ-8 only is armed with missiles, like Hellfire and the like.
-
I must that the Fire Scout is very interesting.
WOW! :o I have not tried that mod yet. Looks fabulous!
Looks superb in its 3d-model design.
The remote-control in the "Pentagon office" looks excellent too ! ;D
Edlor was a genious !
-
Thank you very much Adam for making the links to your fathers work available to us, really appreciated. 8)
Again I offer my deepest condolences to your family and friends for the loss of your loved one.
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

I'll restart works on U-10B and YO-3A, proper FM and Java

Hello guys, just a few issues that might be unique to me, 4.12.2 with ModAct 5.30. ;)
The Fury would hang the QMB at 100% and it was necessary for me to move it higher in the folder structure of my install.
The Kiowa requires this new air.ini entry:
OH58 air.OH58 1 NOINFO usa01 SUMMER
Edit 2nd June 2018:
BV-155 will crash a 4.12 game at 30%, log indicates 'printCompassHeading' so cockpit class will need altering.
Works fine in DBW 1.71 (4.10).
That Bombay is lovely, who would have thought we would get one of those in game. 8)
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D
-
Thank you Adam. Very kind of you to care.

...aaah; FJ-1 loadouts are too high, way above the wings. 412,2 SAS 5,3

Here is a variation skin done upon one of the 4 x 4096 x 4096 original skins from Edlor's mod. Historical.

BV-155 will crash a 4.12 game at 30%, log indicates 'printCompassHeading' so cockpit class will need altering.
I have had a quick look at this one, there are quite a few other bugs that need squashing with this one, currently it flies in 4.12.. but can't go near the ground atm ... ;) no-one else has declared an interest so I am investigating.
However ...... if anyone else is working on this one please let me know - as my limited time is too precious to waste on duplicated effort.

I have been working on making a existing aircraft skinnable, that has taken what little time I am able to use for anything these days, so I myself have not really had any time to do anything other than the brief tests mentioned which amounts to a little information found while trying to get these in game, good to know you will take a look at BV-155 Glynn. 8)
Wishing you all the very best, Pete. ;D

The BV-155 works ok in my CUP install (which is 4.12.2m based), it doesnt have any markings tho! Be great if it could be skinned? Shame about the Fw190 cockpit too. Still a great job by Edlor tho bless him.

This BV-155 airplane already came with a skin-template in the download, but for HD-skins in sizes of 4096 x 4096.
Personally , I prefer to use the normal 1024x1024 skin sizes on the airplanes and only use larger skins for maps. That way I have
less weight on my game and have it running faster. My pc is very slow and antique :P :D
I am already at work on another skin-template version in the size of 1024x1024 and soon I will post it. Even though my templates and
skins are the normal size, I do try my best to keep in them as much details and realism as on the real aircraft. I already have detailed blueprints
of this rare aircraft + photos.
EDLOR did a great job on the aircraft skin-parts which make up the other details, but on some, it looks like
they were not finished. I have already painted them to have more details and looked at some real photos of this airplane in construction
to make sure the details are included in them. - I will make these other skins available to everyone also, when I finish the new template and
also create a selection of skins for a new "Summer" and "Winter" folders for the BV-155.
Most likely by this sunday afternoon everything will be finished and I will make a post here at SAS :)

Briefly, as this is not meant to be a tutorial, in my experience skin size, LODs and game performance are closely related. As long as the model is properly made and the LOD distances are realistic then high quality, 2048X2048 or even 4096x4096 skins do not slow the game down. Mesh sizes have less impact on the game than .tga size therefore it is even possible for a lazy 3d modder to duplicate the LOD0 mesh to LOD1 and even LOD2 as long as the associated .mat file points to properly sized skin1p and skin1q .tga files respectively.... But this is not ideal ..... In other words these look really good in close up and any loss in skin definition is not really noticeable beyond 100m
eg
[LOD]
25
75
500
2000
The same is also true for the .D1, .D2 meshes etc
Oversize cockpit .tga files, too many .tga files with a single object mapped to them (rather than combine them into a single .tga) effect FRAPs and game performance far more.
At LOD3 the 3d mesh may as well be a single square as it only occupies a single screen pixel ......... :D :D. A poorly made model will show in the game and fool those who don't know better, ( I cringe when I read some of the fawning comments that these mods illicit) however, a good model with a high def skin will not cause issues. It is the "quick and dirty" one LOD wonders that cause the problems.
Meshes that are larger than 3000 polys will be accepted by the game engine, however they cause drop outs and freezes when effects like explosions or cannon fire occur. It is not good practice to use them and they should always be avoided. If a mesh cannot be simplified then cut it into two... as long as the overall 30,000 poly model limit is not exceeded.
In other words ... put the blame on the wannabe 3d guys for poor LOD and .tga management .... not the skin artists. ;) ;) .. ok .. rant mode off... :D

Hello everyone, I would like to propose a fix for the FJ-1. https://www.mediafire.com/file/l9tk1ex2vrnbhiz/FJ-1.7z/file
Just drop the FJ-1 folder into your 3do\plane folder and let it overwrite.
This is a fix for the loadouts. I am by no means a 3d guy and all I did was manually play around with the hooks on each one of them.
This is only temporary until something better can be done.

Dear all,
the Bombay is a very pleasant aircraft, thank you Adam.
For the users: don't forget to down the gear when landing otherwise you crash.
Best regards.

The SAS Moderator Team strongly encourages ANYONE working on ANY of these UNFINISHED Mods to announce and post their work inside the Modders section or in the WIP section in separate threads so the progress gets properly channelled and we eventually will see these mods PROPERLY FINISHED!
Please also post Beta packs of your complete works instead of text bits how to fix this or that. Please avoid bringing it all to this thread. I will lock this thread if this trend continues.
This helps coordinating work, avoiding double efforts. It enables others to pick up progress others have made. Some can do Java, some FM and some 3d... It also avoids a situation where everyone looks at everyone, expecting the other to do the work and nothing ever gets done properly.
To finish this will be some work to do and while most of the mods are to some degree usable or flyable, some files may cause unknown conflicts. Simply put, Edlor's legacy is not in the state it deserves to be eventually.
Thanks for your attention
:)

As merely a suggestion idea,
How about us making a post for each mod-aircraft he posted here and place it in the "WIP" section?
That way, anyone who made a fix or something new for that particular mod-aircraft, can post it in the correct aircraft post it belongs to.
Just an idea.
Each post would be named like this....
Edlor - Bristol Bombay = WIP
Edlor - Bell OH-58 "Kiowa" Helicopter = WIP
Edlor - North American FJ-1 Fury = WIP
Edlor - Westland WS-51 "Dragonfly" Helicopter (a.k.a. - Sikorsky H-5) = WIP
Edlor - Blohm & Voss BV-155 = WIP
Edlor - Armstrong Whitworth "Siskin" = WIP
Edlor - MQ-8 "Fire Scout" Helicopter-drone = WIP
Edlor - Sikorsky HH-3E "Jolly Green Giant" Helicopter = WIP
Edlor - Hughes OH-6A Cayuse Helicopter = WIP
Edlor - Boeing Stearman = WIP
Edlor - Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter = WIP
-
Any news about the nice Stearman mentioned above ? looks really nice, when compared to the Franken we have... and really deserves to be included in BAT !
-
I renewed the links in first post for all those who are interested in this WIPs.

Thank you very much Gerax!

F1J Fury flies well in 4.12 JTW modact 5.3.
Uploaded fix for adjusting loadouts all fine.
Fury file is loaded before Enginemod and Jetwar - ! Fury.
No Wing end tanks. and most importantly no Arrestor Hook!!!!!!!!
Log shows no conflict. Air brakes etc working. all other mods working fine.
Any Ideas.
Regards
Mick.
-
Hi guys! Is there any chance of getting that tail hook on Fury to work?
-
it is unfinished.
Unless someone finishes this mod (and there's still serious amount of work involved), don't hold your breath.
