Dasas Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Hey I was wondering if anyone would like to make this plane the X-32 that boeing is testing it looks like a smaller version of the F-22 and the X-5 Quote
+BUFF Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Hey I was wondering if anyone would like to make this plane the X-32 that boeing is testing Are they still testing it? That was their entry for the JSF/F-35 but it lost out to the Lockheed proposal. Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Are they still testing it?That was their entry for the JSF/F-35 but it lost out to the Lockheed proposal. The two airframe's haven't been destroyed. One's on display at Patuxent River Naval Air Museum and Boeing is said to have the other, not sure where, for systems trials and static testing. I'm not even sure it's air worthy. The word going around was that Nasa Dryden was going to pick up a copy but there hasn't been a whole lot of movement. It would be good to have a model of that ugly looking plane! In my experiecne, the ugly ones are usually enjoyable to fly and prove quite usefull (I site aircraft like the A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair II and the Phantom as examples of this) Quote

Sky Captain Posted November 13, 2006 Posted November 13, 2006 Actually, it is kind of pretty... In the way that buttugly, obese women appear beautiful to their admirer... Quote
Dasas Posted November 13, 2006 Author Posted November 13, 2006 so would anyone like to make it for SFP1 Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) so would anyone like to make it for SFP1 It would be good but I wouldn't hold my breath. You'll see the F-35 long before the F-32. It'd be a shame, I reckon it'd be a good ride. To the Best of my knowledge, the only game I've seen the X-32 in was Ace Combat 3 under the designation F/A-32 Ernie ( I guess coz the F-35 Bert lost out in that alternate future ) As for the F-22 model, check out the W.I.P. links in the WoE/WoV/Project-1 Mods & Skinning Chat Here's a headstart: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=12557 Edited November 15, 2006 by SayWhat?!

+streakeagle Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 This aircraft was made available as a mod to Jane's USAF many years ago. Quote
+JSF_Aggie Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 The shots above is what their production aircraft would have looked like had they been chosen for the contract. The two prototypes they tested at Edwards and Pax were delta wings. http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/sys...32-dsc_0010.jpg Quote
+SayethWhaaaa Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 Either way, still fugly but it's A-6 fugly so you know it would have been good... Quote
Platinum Rogue Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) You all forgotten about 'JSF'? That game featured both experimental types. Wasn't much cop though, EF2000 and ADF/TAW blew it away. Yes, I have a long memory :slow(en): IMO despite all the technical merit the Boeing airframe displayed, it never stood a chance of being the chosen one because those doing the choosing were Pilots, and thus very sensitive to their own image being impaired when identified with the flying guppy-fish As goes the old saying - "If it looks right..." But it never did. Incidentally, is there a SF Eurofighter Typhoon in progress anywhere? Edited November 15, 2006 by Platinum Rogue Quote
Jimbib Posted November 15, 2006 Posted November 15, 2006 (edited) Forgot JSF? Hell no! I still remember the night vision option, the terrain countour overlay, the infinite weapons and even the self guiding rounds You're right about EF2000 though, that definitely did blow it away, dam good sim for the time.
