Spinners Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) BAC Lightnings of JG71 'Richthofen' Edited July 7, 2009 by Spinners
Shaolin Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 BAC Lightnings of JG71 'Richthofen' Waaaagh! Nearly got a heart attack! It is really an ugly plane (like most british post-WWII ones - except the hunter and the Vulcan ), but kind of cool!
Shaolin Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 Vampire? Not bad, but not as elegant as the Hunter... The funny thing is the Vampire was kind of "the" jet for my father - it was the first jet he ever saw flying over Oldenburg (even if he was a a child back then he never forgot that typical shape)!
+russouk2004 Posted July 7, 2009 Posted July 7, 2009 The Lightning was a lovely aircraft and no way ugly....it was way ahead of its time...would outclimb any of todays fighters no problem....and leave most for dead...a true British Classic...

Would agree up until they added the belly tank...kind of led to a pregnant guppy effect. However, in terms of its performance, one of the most beautiful ever!

+Gr.Viper Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Wonder if TK will ever add those into his sims. But the plane has no combat record, does it?
+SayethWhaaaa Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 I dunno, I always liked it in black. Just need to figure out how to give the canopy the golden tinge... This was a curious fight. A good case in point for the "Pilot vs Plane vs technology" argument. I should have won this. F-23s arrive on station, are greeted by F-7Gs... Sounds simple, right? ...but I got tagged and lost 2 of my guys in the fight. We got six, but still, given the cost of those F-23s, I'd be grinning if I were the PLAAF. Grinning with a bloody nose, but grinning nonetheless. Those R-73s are nasty!
+EricJ Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Unless somebody does it, I'll get it done this afternoon, but it's relatively simple. All somebody really has to do is edit the "CanopyGlass.tga" by opening an F-16 canopy texture and saving it as "CanopyGlass.tga". Only caveat it should look okay, or what you want. BTW nice skin And the F-7G is a pretty decent real world aircraft, far surpassing it's MIG-21 progenitor.
scouserlad13 Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Escort at sunset LETS DO THIS! WOOOOOOOO And your 100% sure we are allowed to do this?

+FastCargo Posted July 8, 2009 Posted July 8, 2009 Trust me, she'll be here sooner than you think...KB has been workin overtime my friends! Also, nice shot there Syrinx! FC
+Dave Posted July 9, 2009 Author Posted July 9, 2009 Never seen that scheme before Gunny. I think I have a new favorite.
+FastCargo Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Holloman Test boys. I've got a bud of mine who used to fly with them...they carried all sorts of strange stuff. FC
