yeah just saw it.I wonder if this is good or bad for the future of SF?

[+JonathanRL 973]

That is actually kinda impressive. Too bad I do not have the money for it at the moment, as I would love to try it out.

 

I can almost bet the S-99 will be the first of the Aircraft to be turned into a Flyable DLC.

This is good i say. We can tone down our griping bout lack of pc support and go back to griping bout patches breaking things (you know its coming). Jonathan, its a toss up i think between the Starfighters and the S199s imho.

3.99 isn't a bad price for them either. Semi unfortuneatly, i spent my fun money for the month getting the newly revised F-4N.

[Spinners 15,966]

The jets have 1024² skins and the Avia's 512²

 

Never! Consider yourself disgraced!

 

I'm too damn eager!!

[Wrench 9,417]

not like MontyCZ didn't give us the S-99 a few years ago...

 

i also seem to recall the Mirage 5Ds are stock??

 

now, the A and C Zippers ... that's another story!!

 

edit: just thought, here SupGen did all the work on the Zippers just last week was it?? best back them up folks, before installing these!

somebody's got a LOT of decal ini editing to do....<evil grin>

 

S-99 = 109G10!!!!! ah ha! something for ww2 methinks!

For me, the star of the show is the F-104C!

F-104A/C were in my wish list too.

 

BTW a lot work to do in kevin!

 

 

My hope is that Tk could have in his pocket more cockpitless models maybe among those in mobile devices ....

 

 

BUG #1: No IDF numbers for S-199

Hope he starts to convert some Android models to the pc market

[Z09SS 21]

It's right there in the title AI Only... My hopes were so high!

 

Dashed on the jagged rocks of reality and poor reading comprehension...

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,544]

This pack is definatly the right way and a must have! To mod a cockpit in is a 5 mins job so, Thank you TK!

wow...talk about lazy... takes less than 2 minutes each, to get them up and running.

 

----------------

 

here's teh S-99, pit will need some dailing in, missing the 300 liter tank (easy fix), Russo's new pilot figure

Also, NEW MG sounds -- and 3 LW weapons!

13mm MG 131

20mm MG 151

 

the moraine IFF antena is even there, under the wing!

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,544]

Looks like a nice model!

I _DID_ buy it. Going to add me some cockpits for the F-104's for sure. I just read it all wrong.

[+Soulfreak 6,350]

F-104C!!!!

[Gr.Viper 131]

Do they appear in stock campaigns?

[macelena 1,070]

I think so, F-104s should appear in 1962 Germany campaign, replacing F-100 units...but those units would become non flyable...dunno

[Gr.Viper 131]

I was thinking more along the lines of new targets for an Egyptian Meteor.

[Carlos_Tex 2]

What do you guys think about quality of models and textures of these new AI planes? Are they close to the flyable planes standard?

Well, some existing AI textures are 512² but the jets included here are all 1024² and the F-104C LOD's have some nice little details. IMHO it represents excellent value for money.

I totally agree.

 

F-104G, Dagger & S-99/199 pits perfecly fit to fly all these new planes.

 

For S-99/199 in data.inis you have to set in fuselage section: ShowFromCockpit=false

 

S-199 IDF numbers are lacking

It's very nice of TK to release such a DLC.

 

I sincerely hope it's just him testing new type of product rather than clearing his warehouse before abandoning EXP3 & PC business altogether...

AFAIK, they were retired from service before the end of the 1948 war, so i don´t think so. Only combat props in the IDF AF by 1956 were Mustangs and Harvard/Texans, IIRC
