The A & C model zippers are covered quite well with the 3W DLC.

on the one hand i'd say but you have to buy those

on the other, i'd point out that its $5.99. some folks out there pay more each morning for their coffee.

aaaaand now i gotta wonder if we have any PRANG skins for the C model.......

[+EricJ]

The latest CDLC for Arma 3 just came out and some dude was griping over 7.99 (that was the full price of it), and trying to get it on sale. I mean why not support a local group with some money to make more content, than trying to buy it cheap. Really set me off. I didn't say anything but yeah, some people spend more on coffee than on content for games. I mean 3W has some money, but 5.99 isn't too bad for somebody to buy either.

@GKABS Maybe some Saab Drakens would be desirable me thinks...

Yes, I know, I did buy the DLC. The stock A-6A is good, the one by GKABS is way better. Hope you get my point

Can I give my 2 cents?: The Saab´s Draken and Viggen, Tomcats...
These models are superb 10 or 15 years ago, but the news models/modder raised the bar, and these planes gonna look awesome with the new "standards"...

[+EricJ]

The Tomcats are done well, and shouldn't be redone at all... I mean yeah they are old, but TMF isn't bad quality work IMHO. Besides who's going to make the cockpits? Recycle the old ones? But a Viggen I can get behind though

yes we do. I did it in 2019, and it's in the downloads section (F-104C_66)

Hope to see a KA-6D as well at some point. I know it is of little to none practical use in the game, but the A-6 line woud not be complete without it. 

I will try my best

Sounds like a good idea to me. I should do some research.

Well, I think the existing TMF tomcat is good enough, it just needs a better cockpit. I think it is possible to consider rebuilding the Chinese J-10 series and Flanker series, which will be helpful for building a modern warfare campaign mod.

I would point out F-104A/B/C/D

Although I am not entirely at liberty to release this...as it is based on a joint venture project

also,  I would prefer first, to finish the cockpit for it (and other zippers)...

 

and some mingling with TMF...

the new cockpit would be a challenge - and I have already a lot of challenges at the moment...so this is a very slow-cook project.

 

and my very old project...somewhere I mentioned that I work on something with a name containing F and 8...(not F-8)

Stary made a cockpit so in that matter it is "easy peasy" 

 

I also started Drakken a long time ago...but other more interesting projects came by then. Although I get past the wing section already..

 

But those are not 2-week projects. So if someone is in a hurry for a new model...

I do not know how others work, but for me, every model is becoming very personal, I really need to read whatever books are available on aircraft ( which means sometimes I need to ask a lot of favors from family and friends to go "dig in old books" purchase and ship it to my place. Not to mention getting manuals and reading them back-to-back to understand how it all works when building a cockpit model. Then It is a pure pleasure to work on a model. Yes, you can buy a ready model (or download it free) and bing-bong-ta-da-dum export it for game standards. But this is not the same. And I always hope that the end user (player) will see the difference.

 

live long and prosper.

all are great but that F-89 has my mouth watering. Certainly something I'd patiently wait years for.

[+FLOGGER23]

Some other needed planes: F3H Demon, F-11 Tiger, F9F Panthers, F9F Cougars, maybe a good ol' F7U Cutlass...

My suggestion, I dream of a better Mirage 2000D/B... and for this one I will be happy to make the skins

Yes, that would be great too, especially if the TMF Mirage 2000 single-seater model is accessible for the D/B variants to be created from it, similarly to what has been done with the TMF Mirage F1 model.

I'm not sure we have access to the TMF Mirage 2000 single seater.

@Crusader should have the answer.

[+GKABS]

If I can get the Mirage 2000 single seater that will make it faster to make the 2000B that is if @Crusader have it ;)

[+Sundowner]

I have all the TMF M2000 max files, including the cockpit. 

@ GKABS .....I'll get the max files over to you sometime over the next couple of days.

Outstanding thanks  

[+GKABS]

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.

speaking of such, whatever happened with your KC-10?  would be nice to have a new model since teh last real ones are now retired, and i think we've done everything we can with Marcfighters old jet (which was pretty old when i first played with it many moons ago)
