Time to improve the old SF2 jets

[+simonmiller416]

I thought this was a thread for updating stock aircraft...I just realized it actually targets all old mods

 

[+daddyairplanes]

well there are alot out there.

many of the old all in ones like the original ODS and NF5 had the old SF1 versions ported to SF2.  even ODS30AE has some of the same aircraft as nothing new was available. the KC-10 is uppermost on my mind there, the original model being from well before 2010 and merely getting skin updates as the years progressed.

5400+ mods here specific to SF2, but the first 1000 or so were just bringing the old gen up to the new ones standard

Okay, what I have so far is the following.

• A-6E
• EF2000 Eurofighter Typhoon Two-Seater
• Super Hornet E/F/G
• Saab Drakens
• Mirage 2000B
• Mirage 2000C
• Also including my previous models list that I am working on.

This is not in any particular order.

When the time will come to work on the Mirage 2000, I have 4096x4096 templates for the current TMF Mirage 2000.

Thanks will do.

I resize the pilot. if you see the pilot from far they look small but when you get closer they look perfect I think. 

 

Sorry to butt in on the serious work........ but I just couldn't help myself!

Carry on, folks.

OK, the EF2000 B is done, and the F/A-18E, F/A-18F, and F/A-18G are coming soon. It's a team effort, and it has been in the making for a considerable amount of time.

This is the F/A-18E

You plan on releasing the templates? The one DCS mod that uses this model is totally redone so I have to maybe, possibly doing some for your jet after it's available and the like. We'll see.

Did you use my work in the release (Templates, skin work) mate?

Great news. Are you planning a new cockpit, too?

Yes, I did, and I apologize for not mentioning it in the credit. Just added your name to the credit, and thank you very much for your help and support. I appreciate it, and I’m sorry for any oversight.

I don’t really think so since I’ve never done one. It requires a lot of effort, and I’m just not up for it right now.

I will do it when the time is right.

No problem my friend!

Gentlemen, I need your help. I have the Super Hornet AN/ASQ-228, and I'm using this function.

[ATFLIRSensor]
SystemType = GUNNER_STATION
Seat ID = 2
GunnerID=1
PilotModelName=
GunnerBodyNodeName = ANALQPylon
Position=0.0, 0.0, 2.0
PitchModelNodeName=AN/ALQ-Ball
YawModelNodeName =
Gun Range = 10,000
PitchAngleRate = 45
MaxPitch = 45
MinPitch = -45
DefaultPitchAngle=0
YawLimited = TRUE
YawAngleRate = 0
MaxYaw = 0
MinYaw = 0
DefaultYawAngle=0
MinExtentPosition=-1.616,-2.145,-1.175
MaxExtentPosition = -1.296, -0.4, -0.8554

I have added animation to the AN/ALQ Ball so it folds inside, but when in-game, it conflicts with the [ATFLIRSensor]. My question is, can I add code so it only works ([ATFLIRSensor]) after a certain speed, say 200? I know there is a MAXDEPLOYSPEED code, but I don't know if there is a minimum deploy speed code.
