Sub Chaser - Gmax Project

[Milton Shupe]

I downloaded and converted this "sub chaser" to gmax. It would make a great AI file for those who have an interest.

I'll package it up with textures if anyone would like to complete it.

Completion means applying the available textures (non-standard sizes) to the already mapped boat and getting it in a sim.

EDIT: I have remapped with standard sized textures to make this easier; the model still needs to be scaled down to 110' (now 2230' ; I will try to get it in FS9 and get her pilot-able

Found some pics of her and her class ...

I have scaled the model down to its proper 110' length, set it up in FS9, and she is ready to become an AI file I suppose. So anyone wanting the gmax source and FS9 model package is welcome to it.

Here is the package. It contains:

1) the original 3dsmax file and supporting non-standard sized tetures;
2) the gmax file to which I converted the 3ds file;
3) standardized textures for the gmax file;
4) the FS9 package to run her there

No sounds or panel included of course. I used Merlin sounds that worked well by Gary Jones.

I take no credit for anything done with the package.
The readme is the original; adhere to that.
