Hi messyhead,
nice to hear from you again! For the texture work at the Blackhawk I think I can help you, but my coding experience (if I could even mention this) is so bad, this is far away from making anything for EECH. Maybe javelin can help with this?
I'm also struggling with animations in 3D. There is still much I have to learn.
I`m also having a lot of other things to do, so I couldn't work at EECH the whole time, but I think we all together could make some minor steps to improve EECH again. Rather slowly than never! EECH has such an immensive potential, as you have noted before, it really could be for attack helos what Falcon BMS is for fighter jets.
I know that we aren't able at the moment to make big steps forward, but some minor continuous working at EECH could preserve this great simulation from dying.
I hope we can get some more guys to the project, even if we are only able to fix some bugs, this would be a great enrichment to EECH.
P.S: Sometimes I head a dream of what it could be to combine Falcon BMS with EECH Allmods. Imagine what could be possible then
Sadly this will never be possible but if....
