[WIP]ACAH Ripped Models Thread - Vector Thrust

After 3 hours of torturing myself with constant DFM-the-hell-out-of-everything and listening to Bishop & Co.'s constant swearing every 5 seconds:

Still, I could use some help for the animation (as always). And for merging the textures since we all know the plane uses two texture layers because of the custom paint job feature ("base" layer in grey like that and the "outer" layer which you can apply custom paint). Also I still have to rip the cockpit mesh for both planes, if possible.

Some other stuff I may rip as well: Mirage-2000-5, F-2A, B-1B, B-2, F-16E

Might be able to get you and Xpand together in regards to the animations. I'll see what I can come up with.

Aye, tell him ASAP and I'll provide anything to be done. I've also have all 3 example models of CFA-44 having its weapon bays open for each SPW.

Nosferatu looks glorious.

Don't forget the AV-88B Harrier II, Su-24MP, YF-23A, MiG-31, Typhoon, Rafale M, F-15S/MTD, F-35B, JAS-39C Gripen, Mirage 2000-5, Su-34, F-2, and the Tornado GR.4

I already have another source for that.

Same goes for the Harrier, Su-24 (hopefully), Eurocanards, Tornado and so on. Maybe the only non-fictional I'll rip are F-16E, Mirage-2000-5 (model already ripped, only need to be cleaned up), Su-34, F-2A, B-1B and B-2 as well as some SPWs (gunpods for MiG-21).

Nice, can't wait for it

So that's a no-go on Xpand.

You might be able to learn somethinf about animation from TS's tutorials

Oh well, gotta wait for the next year then. Busy with IRL until the end of March next year that is. :\

In the meantime I can work on ACX/JA and HAWX planes first, and doing animations for all my previously released mods while I'm at it.

Sweet! Which Bug variant are you planning on doing?

E from HAWX 2 Wii, G from ACAH (Legacy Hornet from HAWX 1 when I have time reinstalling it, or when Jason finally gave me the model). Maybe Su-24, Eurocanards (plus Mirage 2000-N from HAWX 2 Wii) and Harrier from ACAH too since they have better models.

I don't know when I'll start working on these again though, currently am pretty busy with IRL. And maybe I'll either start working on the animations on Shinden/CFA first before proceed on those or vice versa.

Before I forget, see if you could rip the Akula skin for the PAK FA for your HAWX version

I've already ripped every single non-DLC skins from ACAH (by extracting the game files that is).

Maybe I'll consider ripping PAK-FA from ACAH too (with Trinity) someday.

completely WIP

By far the Ace Combat models are better than HAWX models. I would prefer to see more AC rips in the future lol. The Harrier you could probably set the stall speed to 0.00001 to make it almost get to the point of hovering.

Even if you're not stalling I think you'll still losing altitude in that way :\

BTW looks like I've managed to rip a Zubr model.

Moar stuff

The last 5 may be Tu-160, Tornado, PAK-FA (along with Trinity), Su-34 and B-1B. Sorry but I afraid I won't rip SMTD and YF-23 because their damn skins are encrypted.

Could you please send me the Zipang textures? I've been ripping from ACAH myself with live texture ripper, but I've lost my 100% save game.

I afraid it may be encrypted as well (although I'm not 100% certain since Galm is unencrypted if I recall), gotta check it out first though.

in the meantime, is the AC5/Zero Zipang skin enough for you?

update: I hope you can get over with the color though. This is the best thing I can do since I don't have 100% save game. (to get the correct color it has to be ripped during gameplay using 3DRipper/Texmod/etc, it's pretty time consuming & complicated & CTD-inducing)

Yes, I did it in the similar fashion, that's why I asked. The one you've provided is good enough, thank you.

By the way, if you have ACAH on Steam, we could grind multiplayer by killing each other. This would allow us to unlock all skins. Lemme know if you're interested.

Why does the F-2 look so good? It may have the appearance of a larger F-16, but it manages to do it perfectly.

I blame the Falcon 3.0 expansion.

Too bad I have the un-legit version since I feel the greedy $camco doesn't deserve my money...yet.

I have a legit ACAH, Anyway I can help in my slow butt way?

Aside the Zipang and Galm, I'd like to know what else that can be unlocked by completing multiplayer-only matches.

Anyway, I'll release all ACAH stuff in 2 parts; the first is BLUFOR (all NATO + Japanese planes + ASF-X) while the second is REDFOR + bombers (PAK-FA, Su-24MP, Su-34, B-1B, B-2A, Tu-160, CFA-44 plus one mission, hopefully). I hope I can finish the first part by the end of this year (aka next week), currently it's halfway done.

Do you want a legit copy? Because there happens to be one sitting in my Steam inventory for some god awful reason I can't remember.

But isn't the multiplayer like....more or less dead already?
