GumidekCZ Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) EDITED:CORRECTED LENGTH UNITS :) Hi, I noticed wrong size of 490 l fuel tank. Not just tiny size error, more than 1000 mm! which is allot. se the real size in picture below and compare it to the size from Leatherneck. Correct size of tank is 5300 mm length and 450 mm max diameter. Real: Now the actual size from Leatherneck: With dimension, also hindge is missaligned. In DCS is more forward position. The texture of pylon in DCS is indicating where it should be. Edited April 27, 2016 by GumidekCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaCH Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Incredible and detailed investigation! Hopes there is someone on the other side with some answers. Even if they are negative saying it will never be fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumidekCZ Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 https://leatherneck-sim.mantishub.io/view.php?id=299 Bug confirmed, but nothing else since reported... Rudel should really do somthing about it ... at the end, it is only couple of hours of 3D modeling and some textures. So come on Rudel, sit at your PC, make yourself one strong coffe and problem is almost fixed :megalol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin2487 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 It has been reported for a long time. It would be nice if the developers gave us feedback if a repair is preparing to update in the near future. Developers please respond :-) Great work SVKSniper :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogey Jammer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 3D model overhaul has been officially announced. Just hope that specific part of it will be fixed too. I'll buy : МиГ-23МЛД & МЛА МиГ-27К МиГ-25 Mirage III F-4E any IJ plane 1950' Korea Dynamic campaign module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumidekCZ Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) I make for you GumidekCZ;) Thank very much Sniper, Your 490L fuel tank is good start, but I had to rework all textures (base, roughmet, normal map) with better accuracy and details. But the result is almost what I wanted. Only thing is the resolution of textures. It is still not enought for crisp detailed textures with stencils. Please, fi you can help with this, I would love it! Here is my "Pre-realease" version of "CZAF 9801" with bigger, reworked fuel tank: Edited May 14, 2018 by GumidekCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flanker1 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 looking very nice! what exactly have you reworked and what do you want to improve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumidekCZ Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 looking very nice! what exactly have you reworked and what do you want to improve? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3205514/?sphrase_id=11261055 SVKSniper made this for us, on my call for help. So I started with the files I downloaded here. So I tried to improve following: weld lines missing or wrong place, fuel filler cap missing and another two circular caps, 3 black holes at the bottom Normal map should represent weld as convex, not concave, tail of tank should be offset from its axis little bit upwards, but Im not used to work in 3D, so it is still not accurate = axisymmetric.

Dr_Arrow Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 GumidekCZ and SVKSniper - great work with the tank, however this model also has to be (and can be) used for the central 490l tank. Thanks once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Priority for me was the textures for my two skins, but Metal/Silver is one, which is "MUST HAVE, must be done" version, together with ability to load it as a center tank. Than I can that also provide PSD template for download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cro_mig_21 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 GumidekCZ and SVKSniper - great work with the tank, however this model also has to be (and can be) used for the central 490l tank. Thanks once more. I use it as a central tank...just make a copy and rename it in PTB-490c-MIG21.edm (c for central) and put them in the respectable folder: C:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Shapes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schmidtfire Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Great job! How about you guys send your work to Rudel so he can officially put it into the Mig21bis module? We need something permanent that does not break integrity check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GumidekCZ Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Would save me time :D I have managed to contact SVKSniper yesterday and agreed on some following steps to improve 3D model and texture resolution. When we both are happy, we can send the result to you -Rudel-, than its up to you :) Edited May 15, 2018 by GumidekCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
