T-33X Redux

T-33X takes shape. I've added materials to the model: Alpha, and fresnel definitions for exterior and seperate one for glass. Added bumps (first pass). Model and textures are not mine. Full credit will be given! Tacpack is also under way. Thanks to Henk we have a fully collimated gun sight which I think will make its way to the F-80X as a hot fix at some point.

Hopefully this can hold us over until whichever of the big boys developers can produce this one in true form! Currently it's the 2010 revA package we're using. So full credit to those authors and the original author will be given. We simply want the community to benefit from having the full model potential available. The hard work was done by Piglet already and others like falcon 409 who redid the textures and created a paint kit. Without that bumps wouldn't be possible as I don't have time to create the rivets and lines with my limited fs time. Thanks guys!
 
A 'Tip' of the hat to you.... Looks Fan-Tastic!! Those Lockheed Jet's are just magnificent. So many possible paint schemes for it too.
 
Awesome! Rick, is there any way to update the pilot figures in the cockpit in order to bring those up to standard? Can't wait to reload this one after your handiwork is complete!

There were past efforts to brush up the VC textures from either Ed or/and Henry, right?
And how are the flight dynamics?
 
I'm not doing any work on the FDE. However there was an updated FDE which is now part of the DL here at SOH. If anyone would like to contribute what they feel is a more realistic FDE in terms of controllability or performance you're welcome to PM me. The current one feels closely similar to the F80 FDE...but ive not ever flown either plane in reality to be able to tell.

I believe there are some updated textures for the VC. The paint kit Falcon409 made has them...havent looked at size but I think they are 4096. The main textures are.

@Willy, if you have some time we could use some high res renditions for release?
 
Time permitting, I can imagine an upgrade with rain on canopy, switch sounds and maybe an engine simulation module for this bird.
 
Update:

Refined Materials

What can be done with stock low res paints with the right materials turned on. TacPack is alive! Thanks Toby! Collamated sight...Henk is the man!

Really coming along great Rick. Amazing what can be accomplished when someone who knows what they're doing is working on it, lol.
 
Incredible.Love the Canadian repaint.

Will go really well with the CF-100 and CF-105 Arrow.

Anthin.:encouragement:
 
Great work! The old model started to look a bit dated, so it is great to see the reworked model virtually shining in FSX :)
Remember seeing a Canadian CT-133 in active service at Rygge AB in Norway back in 1992. Remember how strange it looked when it dropped on the side which was tanked (wing tanks).

Anthin; probably a better match as an aggressor for the Hornets :) That scheme was rather late in the CT-133 service life I think.
