I was going to guess a suicide bomber plane but apparently I was a bit late to the contest.

Anyway, it looks really nice, can't wait to see it in flight along with this map!

EDIT: so here are the images on this site:

Neat plane!

nice map!

Im curious now how do you get the blood? Also, how would you make custom sides and make them work with sounds and what not. cCould you post a tut/link to where I can find all that stuff and maybe start working on my own WWII map

You find most of your answers in the FAQ/Everything You Need Thread.

wow that plane is looking awesome

I know that, everyting BUT how to make blood, and thats what I want to know how to do the most.

i would love to see that xd a WWII fighter taking of verticaly x'D but jopkes aside great map!

If you set the takeoff height at very low it would appear to take off normally, rather than doing Battlefront's Thunderbird 1 move.

There is probably an ODF parameter that lets you specify impact effects according to the type of entity (e.g., unit, human, droid, vehicle) that the ordnance comes in contact with.

I was thinking he would create a new takeoff animation where the plane would taxi straight for a set length down a makeshift runway and then take off.

The landing animation is just the takeoff animation played in reverse. So if you had a takeoff animation with the plane coasting down the runway, to land it would speed along the runway backwards.

And as for that, it would fly right away - there'd be no taxi stage. It would look only marginally better than the stock BF2, I think. Also there's the problem that it'd start flying right on the terrain, and would instantly collide with it.

I fiddled with making a good plane-takeoff and landing sequence. I concluded it wasn't worth the trouble. Imo, a plane really isn't necessary nor fitting on this map.

I made the blood fx in particle editor some time ago, and set it up in an odf, It's pretty simple, I just altered one of the stock effects a bit and changed the color to what I thought looked "blood red" and Marth was right about the ODF's

A game that rhymes with Bass Effect 2.

Hmmmm, well if the plane is a bomber, you could try to make it a speeder with a jump ability, but very low gravity so you could move along the ground then "take-off" and then eventually set down somewhere else. The main issue i can think of for that is the stabilization and AI getting into it. You would have to have its collision make it explode on ramming just about anything so it would be more realistic.

When I made Ryloth: Nabat, I fiddled around with the idea of adding AutoPiloted Hyena and Ywing bombers. I set the spawn point somewhere far away out of reach, that way you could never see it take off. I decided the map wasnt the right shape for flyers because of the cliffs. But I think the AutoPiloted flyers are the best way to handle the VTOL FW-109 issue, just set it up where no one would see the takeoff at all.

What about a take-off animation that makes it fly forward, just put the whole fighter on a separate bone and make that bone go forwards as the take off anim!

I tried this, too, but there's absolutely no way to steer once you take off.

Soooooooooooooooooo.. Wut? I don't plan on landing my plane, just dying in combat!

It would make a cool first impression but have no way to land, who cares. I dunno, just thinkin aloud.

thanks to all for comments and suggestions on how i should make the horizontal start

so, here is a wip of the textured version, you might notice that it isn´t ready credits for the texture goes to my FSX modding friends from Adlerhorst, thank you
