Did anyone ever do a F-16D Block 30 or 40 for SF2?

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

like it says. theres a Block 40 in the SF1 section from serverandenforcer (another name from the old days) but not much else in teh TW download section period. would have thought it was in the Team Viper packs, but no joy so far

not, repeat NOT looking at Block 50s....

scratch that last, the old one on Gen 1 is with the spine...

  not the droid im looking for either

I don't think that there were many D or B models done in the first place so you might be out of luck.

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

yeah is seemng that way

 

[+ravenclaw_007 7,242]

i do have all f-16 3d models including some B models and all the israeli two-seaters  , so if you tell me what exactly you want i may be able to help you ( i´m not a F-16 expert and need the exact details you like to have on that model )

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

F-16D Block 40 in USAF service to be very specific. looking at 74th Fighter Squadron in 1994 and Arizona ANG (which hosts the Air Guards Viper School and so has more than one or two on hand)

but went back and looked closer at the Poland F-16D. antennea removing trick works quite will on this (no gaping holes when its removed)

skin could use some love, but hey, why would you think im asking?

edit:

if you got something ready to go it would be appreciated. the C models are using the Block 30 and 40s as used in the ODS release, but this model is going to need alotta love before releasing. and for probably 4 skins with 6 serials apiece

The C models had much more planned.....

Not aware of any difference regarding weapon stations to the single seat version a country may use. One load out chart to cover both usually.

i can bring the F-16D block 40 in to the game but i dont think that i can make the skins or the decals , so i need some help on this end

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

looks much better than the one i'm working with. suspect its much newer too

skin temps wouldnt be a problem for me, as the bulk of markings for me would be tga (still some variation amongst the squadrons birds, esp wing kings)

time neither, as im going to do about a dozen C model skins first. just wrapped up serial number hunting today on all units/years for this project. D models are.... interesting when you track down their history. longest at a unit was about five years that i recall seeing, although 11 months is more common. they got shifted, ALOT

finally, not a Viper expert but the Block 40s had chin stations originally for the LANTIRN pods. dont know if you dont have them available on yours or they are just not pictured

[MigBuster 2,861]

The skin looks okay on that considering I only made it for single seater models.

Has the right inlet size - although another externally recognisable feature is the WAR HUD but probably not needed.

ok , the bird is in the air

AWESOME!!!!

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

what he said. that is awesome

for those air forces that use the classic USAF camo that is about perfect as is. occasional dark area running up the filet to the tail, sometmes a darker radome (not black, just darker) but otherwise spot on.

i hope i know, i've only looked at about a thousand pics to get to 510 serials over the last week.

you got anyone in mind to set up further skins? or thinking about releasing this now, temps later for others to work on period?

[+EricJ 3,937]

I mean the F-16 is alright, but the two-seaters do look good...

[+ravenclaw_007 7,242]

status update

updated skin

new decals for the D

new sensors on the upper tail

and the boom still works

Beautiful!!!

About the pylons, as far I know are the same ; think instead that the rear office will have the HUD repeater on the IP cover

[dsawan 613]

cool cant wait to try

Mean for the Block 40!

[+ravenclaw_007 7,242]

the first 3 skins are done including the decals , 35th FS , 36th FS and the 80th FS are done

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

Pope just about done, got wing king out the way as it was the most challenging (and made me change some stuff up)

[+allenjb42 4,127]

Sorry I'm a little bit late to the party Kevin, and you already have your model, but there's an F-16D Block 30 in the F-16 Aggressors pack

F-16C Block 30/32 Aggressors by The Viper Team - F-16 - CombatACE

The contents are:

F-16C Block 30

F-16C Block 32

F-16D Block 30

F-16N

Here's a couple of  F-16Ds on the way to a DACM hop over Alaska

i appreciate it! to be honest, given i had no intentions on Aggressors i did gloss over that.

will look into it, although tbh it will be about a week or so before i do. want to wrap up my 23d Wing project here, and some mid 90s skins for ravenclaw's D model above. His work so far has been quite a bit more recent (2013 ish), while you all know im into the older stuff

[+dtmdragon 2,606]

My 2 cents...

 

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

thank you, will look at incorporating tomm. esp as im also working with pretty much everything from Block 15 forward

tonights bit, almost done

 

now with historical serials for the Tigersharks in 94.....

 

[+daddyairplanes 8,675]

getting back on topic. ish

today is gonna be the day that theyre gonna throw back to you....
