Korea, early 1950. A rare daylight sighting of a flight of F-7F Tigercats.....

Dear Friends, Today we'll tell you about one of the Collector Planes in development - IAR-80/81. Both kinds of this Romanian aircraft will be available in our sim: the 'short' model with short fuselage and wings and the 'long' one (that's right - with long fuselage and wings). At the moment, the work on the first model has progressed well and the second one will be developed relatively fast after finishing the first. This fighter/bomber was designed under the lead of Ion Grosu and took off for the first time in 1939. In 1940 the aircraft went into mass production and later was updated many times, resulting in many modifications. Most of them will be available in Great Battles: "Short version" I.A.R.80-A serie 106-150 : fighter armed with six 7.92mm FN Browning MGs firing German rounds (base model). I.A.R.80-B series 181-200 : fighter armed with four 7.92mm and two 13.2mm FN Browning MGs firing 13.2mm Hotchkiss rounds. I.A.R.80-M : fighter armed with two 7.92mm FN Browning MGs and two 20mm MG-151/20 German guns. I.A.R.81 series 151-175 : fighter/bomber armed with six 7.92mm FN Browning MGs and capable to deliver up to three bombs with up to 400 kg total weight. The underbelly bomb mount had a special parallelogram mechanism for dive bombing that prevented a released bomb from hitting the propeller. In addition, the flaps on this dive bomber modification had larger angle range, serving as ad-hoc air brakes. "Long version" I.A.R.80-B series 212-230 : fighter armed with four 7.92mm and two 13.2mm FN Browning MGs firing 13.2mm Hotchkiss rounds (base model). I.A.R.80-C series 251-290 : fighter armed with four 7.92mm FN Browning MGs and two 20mm MG-FF Ikaria guns. I.A.R.81-C series 301-450 : fighter/bomber armed two 7.92mm FN Browning MGs and two 20mm MG-151/20 German guns and capable to deliver up to three bombs. All the IAR-80 modifications that will be modeled in our sim were powered by twin-row radial 14-cylinder air cooled engine I.A.R.-14K, which was the licensed version of the French Gnome-Rhone 14K. In takeoff mode it could reach 1000 HP. The similar, albeit less uprated engines were installed on the German ground attack aircraft Hs-129B-2 most Great Battles players are familar with already. This first Romanian mass-produced fighter was all metal except the stabilizer and flaps skin. The flaps and landing gear had hydraulic actuators. All in all, it possessed flight characteristics similar to Soviet Yak-1, but late IAR modifications had much more powerful weapons and bombs. The visual 3D model of IAR-80/81 is being developed by two famous enthusiasts - Ivan Shirshov (3D model) and Martin =ICDP= Catney (exterior textures). We hope they'll finish their part of the work in the coming months and we'll be able to start the work on its FM and systems. We'd like to repeat once again - if you're interested in creating new content for our series, we're always open for collaboration. Just contact us.

Sure, you need SF2 *** INSTALLATION: 1. Unpack and copy to your Aircrafts mod folder ---------------------------- Thanx to: 1. Mue for his Lod Viewer 2. Mago for the cockpit ----------------------------- I am too lazy to write any more (i was working on this aircraft all the last night) so read the readme from my Mig-29UB. This is the same.

Ravenclaw is the best person to go to as usual. He has created the excellent 275-gal drop tank, built into the NF-5A model by Sophocles. Perhaps you could talk with Ravenclaw, he surely has the dimensions since he has already created a model of the drop tank. Having personally seen how generous Ravenclaw is, I would not be surprised if he decides to save you time and provides you the ready model of the tank to incorporate into the Mirage F1.

Very nice! "THUDS RULE"!

just a small update on the new F-4E 3d model , from the beginning i did not like the way the vents on the F-4 look like , Sundowner made some big improvements with new textures but i think it is about time to make them in 3d , thats how they look like now , also new the missile hard points and the splitter plate the aircraft is not yet done , still a lot of work ahead including the new cockpits and some new skins and much more on details

Too much polys in one mesh

If you can wait a little bit. I'm planing to release the "Argentinian Fleet" in near future. But first i must ask the makers of the 25 de Mayo, wheter they allow me to use this carrier in my mod.

The export with decals option only disables vertex sharing (this is (sometimes?) needed to prevent decal bleeding). But that of course increases the vertex count. I think there is a vertex limit per mesh. Maybe you hit that limit here?

Good to be back.....

And since Gojira was nowhere to be found, Major Kong decided to stir up the locals with a light show of the Kiloton-Class...

This is Neptune 58 calling G-Force HQ. Reached our patrol location. No sight or sign of Gojira. Maintaining orbit, over.
