About This File

This aircraft mod represents a fictional evolution/upgrade of the Mikoyan-Gurevich's Ye-8 experimental fighter. There are several wing designs, systems and weapons that were under experiment during the 60-70-s though these are not actual replications of them  and the pits are pure fictional using equipment/instruments of that given time frame.
This package comes with 1 or 2 skin set for each variant, with decals for Soviet aircraft.

This model is meant for SF2 games only.

Install is the regular dropping the contents in their respective places. In case you have the previous Ye-8/M pack the contents of the Effects, Decals, Guns and Pilot folders not need to be copied over.

Please note: The model might gets heavy on FPS in large formations on weaker machines, so if required, either resize skin files or use lower lod "_nd" as lod1.

New weapons are provided - some type specific - beside these the model uses the general Soviet weapons.

Be aware - In the 1970's and later when AA-8 can be selected, manually double loadout of these can happen. 

Make sure to read the manual included with the package.

Absolutely top notch work. These planes are all a joy to fly and like another review said, it's like having a Soviet F-16C, over Vietnam!

This set of planes is a nice one. Its not to fictitious. The MiG design bureau made development models of the Ye-8 144 plane. The Ye-8 itself was built in two prototypes. Unfortunatly the soviet leaders decided to cancel this plane and supported the Ye-23 swing wing plane. The Ye-8 family could have been the top fighter of the timeframe. The prototyp Ye-8 was as agile as the F-16A, but 10 years earlier.

Logan made an outstanding job to bring a "what if" Ye-8 plane family in the SF2 world. Good job!!!

I tried out this addon extensively, and I can say I'm impressed.

Everything has been done on the grounds of historical accuracy, which is difficult to attain in this case, an aircraft of which only few documents exist.The only "minus" would be the lack of textures inside the cockpit, although it's a minor issue that doesn't get in the way of enjoying the aircraft.

Also, a good addon to learn some of the techniques by which aircraft are implemented in SF2; this is something I always look up as I'm trying to learn the most I can about modding.

Good Job.
