+Crusader Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Yes, the renamed F-5G. I'm not sure what it would offer over the F-16, though. Same engine as an F-16 but same old avionics and weapons (2/4/6 AIM-9s, guns, limited radar, VERY limited AG options). old avionics ? no... limited AG options.. no .... http://www.f20a.com/ Quote

+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 @ Crusader, nice link very informativ ... sad to sea this bird dying ... but very cool is the T-38 wich should stay in service until 2050 with a mainly 100 yearsold design and airframe ... Quote
Jimbib Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Wasn't Taiwan going to buy it until Jimmy said no? I was split between trading them the jets for a charizard, and in the end I just had to say no, cos my cousin Hibbert gave me one for building him a barn. Edited February 13, 2008 by JimmyBib Quote
Jarhead1 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 This looks like it will be an awesome bird to fly Quote
pablo10692 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I would like to see the Brazilian's F-5EM... xD But we have a lot of WIP to care about... ^^ Quote
Longestpants Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 Computer says no. Best show ever! Quote
GhostFighterBRASIL Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ching kuo from Taiwan is a beatiful plane... Quote
MigHound Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Ching kuo from Taiwan is a beatiful plane... Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, YESSS!!! The Ching Kuo is a gorgeous little bird. Smaller than an F-16, actually. Quote

Dreamstar Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 Any chance of some screen shots m8? Quote
+Bongodriver Posted February 14, 2008 Author Posted February 14, 2008 I haven't taken any lately, but if you hang on, I will have some cockpit shots coming soon Quote
Viggen Posted February 14, 2008 Posted February 14, 2008 I haven't taken any lately, but if you hang on, I will have some cockpit shots coming soon I knew waiting 2 weeks for that would work! BTW, how's the Islander? Quote
+Bongodriver Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 OK heres some developments for the Typhoon pit, I am concentrating on Avionics right now (HUD and RADAR) p.s. USAFMTL, I can't seem to PM you, I was wondering if your guys have looked at the FM yet? Quote
Viggen Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Looking good! I really like that radar. Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Very nice pit hope we can see some pics of the bird from the outside?!?!? Quote

Viggen Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Did you get the pilot's position raised? And I forgot to mention this pages back but I actually like the lovely chav burberry skin Quote
+76.IAP-Blackbird Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Sorry oversaw those pics... good work Quote
squid Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Goergous, goergous .... - i hope you won't go stingy on the canopy frame polygons of the final release :D - and i think it should maybe be thinner? - will it have mirrors? Quote
+Bongodriver Posted February 19, 2008 Author Posted February 19, 2008 will it have mirrors? HMMM!! look at the screens again i hope you won't go stingy on the canopy frame polygons of the final release :D- and i think it should maybe be thinner? I'm a new modder, I haven't had to endure rivet counting too often, so I am not too offended by criticism, just be aware that some others might be, and yes I agree it seems a little thick, will prob work on it (won't change it much though), I will consider the polygons side of things in balance with the rest of the pit, I wan't it all to be looking good if I can.

Just my 2C of my trained eye , MAYBE, which means this has to be researched , the canopy frame is thicker than it should, but i will check on that again. Frame polygon count of the frame alone (and maybe mirrors too) i strongly believe it should be as high as possible (stock cockpit level) for the sole simple reason that its a pure curve and has to be as smooth as possible. the rest of the pit details can be as minimal polys as they want maybe when they are simple primitives - personaly when i coment is only with constructive motivation in mind , just to help, suggest and hopefuly contribute to improvement, not criticise at all. The receiver either takes it or leave it. Both directions respected. Whatever the outcome will be, still thankful for the release and honest congrats. Quote
