New Unit: Swing-Wing Airplane

Tebrey · 03-25-2003, 11:06 AM

The Transformer topic got me thinking about an airplane I been wanting to make to replace the aurora for a mod I'm working on. Wing fold back when in hypersonic mode.

I know the skin sucks. I been cracking out models, skin em' better later. Grin.

The animation files are fairly smooth ingame.

What do you think?

Looks like Stealth Fighter with bird wings.

The rear reminds me of a mantis....hhm....good name perhaps??

This is a VERY cool idea. Seaman is right though...you need to do something about that wing shape.

Thanks!

The wing is a bit more birdy than I had intended.

I've got it working so that it starts with the wings back and opens them on the runway as it is taking off.

Still working on the inflight shift. I'll post a couple of ingame pics later.

I like that model. It would look great in a space-sim game..but not in Generals.

Very Earth and Beyond

Actually it is for a full conversion mod based on a tabletop SF rpg.

i like it! Id like to see the wings oppening when it lifts off,..gives a more real life feel to it!

Here are couple of ingame pics.

HOLY S@#$.... that looks wicked..... evil top-secret US plane......

edit: don't make them fold out to a full 90 degrees. It kinda looks better in screenshot 2, then 3.
