+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 18, 2013 I have worked on this bird long time ago, with Ravenclaws, Florians, FC and Russos help and the problems on the MiG-29K I have managed to find a solution for my own Navy project. Some of you remember this bird. current WIP shots: I still have some probs and I hope I get them solved with the help of the comunity. Its also ingame and the FM was done by JAT, im very satisfied with his work. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallenphoenix1986 603 Posted January 19, 2013 Was hoping you would get back to this one :) Don't suppose anyone knows why they went with side by side rater than tandem ala Su-30? As I understand it this bird is the trainer for the Su-33 but is still a fully capable fighter in its own right. Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 19, 2013 I have no idea about the real life status of this bird. Seems the Su-33 is outdated for soviet carriers. This KUB is ment to be used asa Attack Plane so far I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DoctorWho 106 Posted January 20, 2013 The KUB version evolved into Su-34 strike aircraft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Spillone104 553 Posted January 20, 2013 To be honest the Su-34 was created before the Su-33UB. The first flight of the Su-34 was in 1990 and at the time it was known as Su-27IB, then Su-32FN in the mid 90's and finally Su-34. The first flight of the Su-33UB happened only in 1999 and the name was Su-27KUB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Centurion-1 1,228 Posted January 20, 2013 Looks great! So how is this different from VVS/PVO Su-34? How many polys is that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fallenphoenix1986 603 Posted January 20, 2013 Thanks MB. Aside from naval features, the main gear feature one wheel rather than 2, the tail boom is shorter and it has a different nose profile due to alternate radar. Dare say theres more than that but those are the features that stand out to me. Craig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Soulfreak 6,526 Posted January 22, 2013 Will we ever see this bird in the download section Martin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557 Posted January 22, 2013 I would say yes! Im solving more and more problems so far. If you like I could send you the plane next month "unmapped" so you can cross check it and tell me what you like and what not. So I can work it out to the current SF2 addon standart. You are more familiar with it than me ;) Only if you like 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
