Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P
Cheers for all the reference, I especially found the u/c close-ups useful. Regarding the sidewinder loadout, I can't see why not, but don't hold your breath on it...every time I plan to work on it, something gets in the way. One of these days... :roll:

Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P
Looks very nice indeed, sir! Can't wait to start filling some decks, British, Dutch or Indian. The good news is I have the u/c (sans wheel wells and bay doors) animated now, so I can move on with the rest of the model. I'm also tying up some other projects which will leave me more time to concentrate on finishing this one.

Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P
Cheers Henry. The latest news is that I am pretty close to finishing all modelling on the clean model, but as I told Skippy Bing, GMAX keeps crashing on me for some reason, making it hard to finish the little blighter off. The model is about 4.5MB and has wingfold, tailhook, u/c and control surface anims, nothing above the norm, but if anyone knows of possible reasons for the constant crashing, please can they help out. Skippy recommended splitting the model up to finish up and then merge at the end, which I may well try.

Have you tried removing the settings file, and letting GMax build another one? Works in most other software! ;-)

Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P
I'll give it a shot if all else fails. Right now I had some success in hiding everything I didn't need to see and was able to build a small ram intake on it. Small steps at a time I think. The real fun will come when try to export I should imagine. Thanks for the tip though.

Re: Hawker Sea Hawk W.I.P
Well, I got it to export, but that has begun another huge nightmare. The model is by no means finished, but I needed a morale boost to see it in action, so jumped the gun and did so. I used the old Jamair Sea Hawk config and air file which, as you can see, are off from mine. Currently I am still trying to finish off the model itself, which needs canopy, pilot, u/c bay doors etc and some other trimmings. THEN, I'll get down to mystic black arts of configging the thing (which by the way, I have NO idea how to do and am leaving it to Brian Horsey to handle the air file. If anyone can recommend some good tutorials on that side of the game, please do.
I'm not saying this is pretty by any means. SMoothing is still off in many places, the ailerons don't pivot right, the undercarriage, well, we won't even talk about that
BUT...it is slowly getting there!
Here's the monster (still unstitched) so far:
