Two 6x9 speakers mounted one each side 32 inch screen 1920x1080 at 75hz .The right panel is fake photo's laminated and stuck down The left panel is a real working panel i made myself .This panel has working gear lever and lights buttons for jettison tanks ,AA AG weapons ,emc ,brakes ,lights,speed brake ,hook ,chaff and flares...hope you like it

I've been trying to put together a new J-7E /PG etc. flight model while Russ does some model improvements so here's a public beta tester using one of his original models, available here: https://combatace.com/files/file/16926-j-7-series-fighters/ This has been a difficult plane to research and there is lot's more to do so consider the attached FM as just an aerodynamic test mule. I left the original date range "as is" but the service start date for the first production double delta version, the J-7E, was around 1994-95. The model best represents the J-7E which retained the 3 piece windshield but had only one gun on the RH side. The cockpit included with the original model probably best represents the J-7E as well, which had only a simple ranging radar, although it probably had some multi function displays as well. Later Chinese versions, as well as all the export versions had more capable radars and a one piece windshield. The original package contains a skin for both Pakistan and China so you might want to consider making two different versions. Pakistan was the first export customer and began receiving the first F-7PG's in June, 2001. A dedicated Pakistani version really requires a more modern cockpit with a combination of multi function displays and round gauges but at this point I'm not sure if there is anything suitable available. Any ideas? Here's a bit more info on dates and export customers: Prototype construction started in 1987-88. First test flight in May, 1990. J-7E and J-7EH[Chinese Navy] service entry in 1995. F-7PG first export version to Pakistan in 2001. J-7G upgraded Chinese version entered service in 2003. Upgraded radar and engine, one piece windshield. F-7BG exported to Bangladesh in 2005. F-7NM exported to Namibia in 2006. F-7NI exported to Nigeria, early 2008. F-7BGI final version built for Bangladesh, 2012-13 and probably the most capable, with upgraded engine and all glass cockpit. Other possible customers are Sri Lanka and Tanzania but I'm still researching those. For the export customers there were a lot of different equipment and load out options so it will take some time to get sorted out. Here's an interesting article that gives an idea of the performance improvements with the double delta wing: http://urbanpk.com/pakdef/pakmilitary/airforce/ac/f7pg.htm Regarding the FM, I have the leading and trailing edge flaps working with AUTOMATIC_MACH but there is no animation for the leading edge flaps. One source says the J-7E was equipped with a KG-8605 Active Jammer and a Type 941-4AC Chaff/Flare Dispenser but I just copied some ECM/Chaff/Flare entries from Wrench's F-20 Tigershark package. Here's the FM: J-7PG_DATA0.95.zip

I will get you the model in few days m8 sorry but forgot to finish it...just needs some moving bits to get basic plane ready for this. noticed in download I called it Russian Reds Display whereas its Chinese display team....will amend next upload.

Decided to work on a VFA-87 bird, this time in 2007 during that timeframe:

I got these mounts and what a game changer for a simming pit. LInk is below if you want to see them. They were a pain to assemble because the directions were crap. But once I got one mount done then other was easy. https://monstertechusa.com/

Looking good, I always wanted something to make me feel like I am in a jet fighter cockpit.

Yes, this is what striked me the most when I watched this video. The guy who made it doesn't even know what's the cost of other aircraft nowadays and that the purchase price of the F-35 and F-16V for export buyers is roughly comparable.

The MiG-21 units in Afghanistan received flare launchers. To counter the Stinger threat. Afghan Air Force units too, theres a good photo of a PFM somewhere.

Been getting used to the Legacy Hornet as something different to fly besides Super Hornets, and flying in an earlier period.

I-15 in Soviet colors.

one airliner ive always wanted to see in SF2 nice 1 SF

nope... It is a little slow, but I am also messing with other stuff. So I left it some time ago for the next round. But definitely it is not dead.

- How bad is it? - Just a scratch..

Go Big...or go home

The SEALs are heading back to Gondar with the freed aid workers.. They have also managed to recover a good proportion of the supplies from the trucks not damaged in the firefight, as well as all three modules of the portable medical clinic.. At Gondar they are launching F/A-18Ds almost as fast as they can be armed and pre-flighted.. Meanwhile, the blocking force is grimly holding on and making the enemy pay a high price for every inch they advance down the slope.. The appearance of the 3 Sudanese Q-5 Fantans is an unwelcome surprise and even though they only get one pass the Marines take some casualties.. More importantly, the Hornets are forced to switch to air-to-air mode to deal with this new threat.. Splash 1! Splash 2! And Splash 3! The Hornets return to the ground battle but they are now all out of air-to-ground ordinance and the Marines have just fired their last TOW... The enemy armour is pushing down the hill and the Marines, both on the ground and in the air are down to guns only.. And then the first of the BMPs reach the base of the hill... .50cal armed Humvees disable the first one, but there are plenty more.. A Hornet engages with 20mm in a desperate attempt to save the unarmed TOW Humvees.. But there's one left.. Got him! And then it's over. The enemy's spirit is broken and seconds later the relief flights of Hornets and Cobras arrive and begin pounding the retreating enemy units.. After a sweep of the battlefield to secure prisoners and tend to wounded the Marines are extracted by helo and the operation is over.. And the SEALs will be back on the beach in Dubai in a couple of days, travelling in a bit better style than the manner in which they had arrived! The End..

Finishing up a bit here

A different kind of aggressor...

Back up and running...seems to have saved all that was wiped by SF2 Complete installer\uninstaller....all installed on its own ssd...lol few files were 0kb,but luckily smae file was ok in other folders so was a basic copy....glad at least all the work of redoing inis isnt now needed... I like the Kai cockpit..seems fitting for a one seater F4

European Hellcats

EricJ's recent uploads of fabulous skins for the Hornets motivated me to try something myself. Far from being finished still...

Actually, there is a way - this is from my old Su-27_avionics.ini, back in the day when I was using Marc's cockpit: [HUD_BreakX] SymbolType=BREAK_X ImageFilename=cockpit\hud\HUD_OTB.tga ImageSize=0.04 ImagePosition=0.00,0.152 AwayImageFilename=cockpit\hud\HUD_LA.tga HUD_LA.tga is the SHOOT cue

As the sun began to set the SEAL Team leader reviewed the intel package.. A week ago an aid convoy heading for the remote villages near the Sudan border lost contact. Of course search parties were launched to find them. 48 hours ago a French C-160 on an aid drop flight spotted the convoy halted well off their route and called it in. The convoy consists of trucks carrying food and medical supplies, a portable clinic constructed from shipping containers, and a number of international doctors, nurses and aid workers, including 5 Americans. As suspected, the convoy was being held by Sudanese backed militia. It would be dark by the time the SEALs arrived at Gondar. They would head straight into the mission planning cell and get together with the Marines to plan a rescue that could be launched as soon as possible.. Sure enough, by morning the various elements were ready to go.. A KC-130 lifts off carrying the SEALs.. Marine helos launch... A blocking force of Marines, including Humvees and LAV-25s will be inserted between the convoy and the border to prevent the militia escaping with hostages... And the F/A-18Ds of VMFA(AW)- 533 are tasked to provide recon, CAS and CAP for the operation.. The KC-130's track takes it far enough from the convoy that it won't be noticed, but close enough that the SEALs can cover the distance comfortably and it's time to jump... To be continued...

The latest build of my cockpit .New x-55 rhino and on-board audio right side .Left panel updated new switches.. :)

I tried to keep mine simple, so just mounts for the HOTAS on a board I can move under the desk.
