+Soulfreak 6,524 Posted April 6, 2018 Sophocles sadly never finished his F-5A. The cockpit rebuild was by Centurion for the F-5E Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilches 1,172 Posted April 6, 2018 Nice move guuruu! This was one of the most prolific fighters ever and deserve an update. As for the cockpit, the new F-5E's with some tweaks could turn out into a good fit. Congrats!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ravenclaw_007 7,633 Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) ok i think i com in to this conversation i have the 3ds max file for the RNoAF_68_F-5A made by Sophocles and i do have the cockpit for it ( but not the max file for the cockpit ) , i dont know if i´m allowed to release it as it is , i dont have any contact to Sophocles the cockpit is not yet finish as you can see in the picture the caution and status lights are all on , to solve this i would need the mesh name / node name of the parts to add them in to the Cockpit.ini stick and throttle are working , but some gauges need to be activated Edited April 6, 2018 by ravenclaw_007 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Menrva 4,202 Posted April 6, 2018 I know this thread is about the F-5A, but I'd also like to know what happened to Centurion's F-5E package. He only released the Early Version package (https://combatace.com/forums/topic/84424-f-5e-early-versions-pack/?tab=comments#comment-678934) so I guess there were other packages planned. I am asking because I have been working on a terrain which could use some Mexican F-5Es. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wrench 9,852 Posted April 6, 2018 Ok, I'm stepping into Admin Mode.. If there's been no contact with Sophocles for a "great deal of time" -- for argument's sake, lets say 12 months, given the age of this thread, I would say it's up to the modder with the parts to make the decision on weither to release "as is" or not. Let's give Sophocles some time to respond to Ravenclaw's message, say 7 days, and then the ball is in his (RC's) court. //Admin Mode Off// I do hope we can finally get this bird!!! 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MigBuster 2,884 Posted April 6, 2018 That F-5 is really top quality work............a real shame if it never saw daylight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+ravenclaw_007 7,633 Posted April 7, 2018 i got a answer from Sophocles , he is still working on the F-5A / F-5B but real life comes first " The project is definitely not dead, real life keeps me away from it for months at a time unfortunately. I have so far completed the basic F-5a variants, the F-5C(skoshi), the Norwegian variants (including different cockpits); the Netherlands F-5a with all its peculiarities (still have to do a dedicated cockpit for this with RWR and moving map)and am now working on the F-5B 2-seater! " i hope he will release some of this aircraft now but i'm afraid they will come as a pack 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
