09/27/02 - By Beamrider
1st aircraft model from the father of Admin 8.4 and numerous remade missisles. This is a dandy, full featured aircraft with loadout screen and tweaked FM (.atk file). Cool, detailed texture by master skin artist, Gawl.

NEW EXTENSION FOR MCFLY'S HANGAR - EXPANDING TO INCLUDE - STRIKE FIGHTERS
Hi gang no I'm not abandoning USAF just expanding to include a new sim that I'm quite positive most of you will be getting. It looks to be very promising indeed. It has most if not all of the ingredients that we have been hoping for. USAF is still growing with geat new stuff almost daily. Modern jet fighters will still be served well and the game play that has been developed is second to none. So, USAF will still be a force. However, the new SF sim is going to have an impact. I think a positive one, and beleive most USAF fans will agree. McFly's will attempt to play a role by supplying the best information and latest updates.

As a great starter, TK has sent the .bmp files and Photoshop .psd templates (I think Paint Shop Pro can open and use .psd files too) for the new F4E Phantom as well as a skinning turorial for adding new skins to SF. Please take a look at them all you would-be skin artists. Jump to Strike Fighter Page still under construction. Any comments are welcome. - McFly

WOW! - IA-58a PUCARA - 07/20/02
Ariel Cancio has produced a fantastic new "prop" plane for USAF. Completely animated. Very nice work indeed.
You can get it at the 3D MODELS page

HOT HOT HOT! - 12/25/01
Massive Rebuild of USAF -

A better Christmas present a boy or girl couldn't ask for. The biggest advance in game play in USAF history. Slikk has revealed a new Admin and game package of staggering proportions. His new version of USAF will include fighting ground troops, new airports, ships that move and engage each other. Dozens of new planes and much much more. This massive effort is outlined in Slikks own words.
USAF - NEW GAME PLAN

ADD A NEW AIRPORT INTO YOUR MISSION
- 12/24/01 A long dreamed of possiblity that was always thwarted by dead-end and failure has now become a possibility. Another giant break-through by SLIKK. Far from a simple process this mulit-tasking manipulation will be a chanllenge that will pay off with big rewards. There is a trade-off in using an existing airport for the other but so far there is No Other Way.
TERRAIN TRICKS
Another neat little trick with the terrain is changing their names for surprising results.
LID BLOWN SKY HIGH ON 3D ANIMATED
OBJECTS - 12/20/01 Demonchild has released a list of
reference names of ALL the animated parts for the aircraft of USAF! An absolutely astonishing achievment. The door to original equipment aircraft models has been kicked wide open.
All you would-be 3d artists take a look. ANIMATION LIST
Next up is a P3D to 3DS converter! Are you kidding! This will allow all the existing models to be altered and massaged - amazing!
REAR-VIEW SKIN FILES - What the hell are they you say?
When you install a new, customized skin on your favorite
plane you still see the original paint job from the cockpit when you swing around to check your six. SLIKK has made 22
rear-view skin files for many of the best skins around (even for my Marines F4e). So you see the custom skin when you look back. Check them out on SKINS PAGE 3.

         
ADD CAMERA VIEWS 12/15/01
The internal working of this sim are getting explored at
greater scrutiny than ever before. Check out this tip.
Demonchild has shown up on the scene with a vengeance.
It looks like the 3d animation wall is about to tumble down
too thanks to his digging
GREAT NEW COCKPITS IN 2D - 12/01/01

JUPITER BIDS FAREWELL - 11/29/01
Long time USAF guru and dedicated friend to USAF
says so long. New love-of-his-life (no not female) IL2
Sturmovik has stolen his heart. Mark Anderson as he
is known by his wife, kids and non flying buddies will
be missed on the SimHq forum for his question solving,
admin building and just plain friendship to all who came
aboard. We'll see you in the skies and boards of this
virtual aviation community again.
BIG PROGRESS ON 3D MODELING11/23/01
3D modeling for USAF is really starting to roll. Several
enthusiasts have been making giant strides in producing new
aircraft. Animating items on the model is still a question but
the model quality is right up there with the originals.
The model below was made by Max. Good going guy.

      

LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MEN - 08/16/01
Don't we have a few good 3D guys around our community
that would like to take a crack at creating a new object for
the game? tStorm gave this 3D Studio Max plugin to the USAF fans so we could expand the interest and enhance
our enjoyment. It is believed to be the same one used by
Pixel.

It's not easy! I have been taking Max
classes for 3 weeks now. At the end (12 weeks) I hope
to be able to produce something!

Here's the link to it: .p3d plugin for 3D Studio Max
It only works with R3

ADMIN 9 PRO - UPDATE - 11/03/01
It looks like there will be a delay in releasing Admin 9 Pro.
Personal obligations to real world needs must be taken care
of first. A suggestion has been made to release an interim
admin, perhaps called 8.5 that would include the easily fixed
problems and perhaps add a few of the goodies. A final
release of 9 Pro would follow as time will allow.

The interim release would include the Mavmod and refuel
auto pilot fix and either earlier versions of the F15 series and
F117 flight models or, time permitting, new FM's from Jupiter.
If this is decided the way to go it could be released very shortly after some "in field" testing.

WANT TO PLAY ON LINE?
You will need 2 installations of USAF.
Hyper Lobby requires Admin 1.02f.
Go to: Black Sheep Squardron for detailed
instructions

STRIKE FIGHTER/PROJECT 1 - 07/15/02
   
The highly anticipated new combat jet flight sim will be releasing (so it's said) by the end of July. Hearlded by some as the successor to USAF, it will be hard to resist (and why would you want to?). From all the screens the new graphic engine looks very good. When polled, the graphics of a game are my main interest followed by realisim and gameplay. What are your thoughts? I've opened a new forum on the subject. Air your opinion. - McFly
                      
NEW 3D TEXTURE TUTORIAL- 07-13-02
I've discovered another great site that can help put the clothes on our naked models. It's called "Become War". David Titus is creating a short animation movie about Vietnam. I would suggest browsing his whole site, it's really cool. But what's important to the texturing neophyte is his approach to the process. This is a must read for all dabbling in 3D texturing.

NEW FLIGHT MODELS - 02/27/02
