Idea for a new mod...

[+Viggen 517]

This is a small idea. Rather than having actual countries, why not have Blue Air and Red Air be the names of the good guys and bad guys?

 

Idea for aircraft. I presume your son has seen pictures of you around T-38s, right FC? Well, I know that I would want to fly "daddy's plane" if my father was a pilot. You could give the T-38 a cannon or machine gun through the old ini edit trick, and add a gun barrel through the pilot trick. Give him a feeling he's flying with you.

 

These are just my thoughts.

 

You are doing a great thing Fast Cargo.

you could remove the guns to something friendly, like laser cannons or something sorta...

 

IMO guns aren't kid friendly

Well, FC.....

 

You could always use the F-16 and MiG-29, following a "Red vs. Blue" concept...

 

...to be honest, it would be quite simple...

Never was...didn't FC or someone tried to do something about lasers?

Been making progress:

 

 

Not just skins...bunches of other stuff to validate gameplay mechanics:

 

1. All aircraft removed. Only 4 aircraft available: Small Blue Jet, Large Blue Jet, Small Red Jet, Large Red Jet. (Jets are T-38 and a large fighter aircraft).

2. Aircraft are guns only, no externals available.

3. Weapons and guns removed from sim...only one type gun available. Therefore, anything not using that guntype will not have armament (no SAMs, AAA, etc).

4. All speech disabled.

5. Aircraft can only be assigned reconnaissance.

6. Only 2 nations (Red and Blue) and 2 squadrons (1st Red and 1st Blue Squadron) available.

7. Templates created for both aircraft. Simple to make basic color changes.

 

Things to do:

 

1. Menu...harder than I thought...doesn't quite work logically at times.

2. Effects - something other than normal gun effects and being on fire.

3. A 'floating balloon'. Hinch, your zeppelin that you made for FE would actually work real nice. I've already been using it in other projects.

4. Decals...nose and wing art...maybe other skins.

5. Decision on a normal cockpit view or external view (like Ace Combat).
