[Guest Sony Tuckson]

wow, looks great, cant wait till i get my new rig to join all of u in the air...

btw, what kinds of armorments can the draken carry>?

[Guest Sony Tuckson]

In Swedish service, it was mostly used in the air to air role.

 

Swedish versions of sidewinder and falcons were standard loads

 

In Denmark, after F16 service introduction it shifted to mud mover role with many standard U.S. bombs avbl to it.

 

Austrians use it for interception with late generation aim-9's

 

No precise idea of how Finish used it :roll:

Very Impressive!!!!! Keep up the good work. Any guesstimate of a relese date.

Super Draken!! Can't wait to fly it!

 

In addition to the Finns, Denmark used it as well with a gloss O.D. overall finish. For that version, SAAB added a couple of extra pylons / hardpoints = multi-role capability.

 

Great work!!

P.S. I had a model of it as well - Lindberg did it in @ 1/48 scale. 1/72 scale was covered by Revell, Airfix, and Heller. Think there is a 1/44 scale available curently. Prpbabel missed a couple.

Sony, looks freaking great! How about a beta trade, Prowler for Draken?

The RB-27 (Aim-26A) missile is alreadly been made and imported in game.

 

Will be available when the Draken modle will be ready: the only other models carrying it are the F-102 and the Mirage III, both being builded by me and both following the draken, so no hurry right now ;)

 

 

(bad pic but the rb-27 is on the wing pylon)

Ranger, 800x600 or even 1024x768 are fine. What I do ask people is not to post 300dpi 1600x1200 images. :D

Lol, the delay is mostly caused by FM issues: it's rather hard to have the plane behave like the real one, and the AI doesn't like the Superstall tendencies of the draken and here end then spins the plane to death while manouvering the jet

Eh... that seems to be a training missile. ("HARJ" - Short for "Harjoitus" - "Training" in finnish)
