The legendary SU-34 fighter bomber! This is a SFP2 Thirdwire Sukhoi SU-34 Fullback Platypus Duck WIP (stand-in) candidate. I got tired of seeing the empty SU-34 slot at Combatace :). It is basically finished unless someone has a 3d-model I can use. It is based it on the Marcfighters SU-27. I used the fake pilot method to add the hump, canards, much longer tailcone stinger and co-pilot. The cockpit is based on the B-1 bomber cockpit by Alvaroideal. The fake pilot method means the camouflage scheme and additions are a bit limited but if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck then it must be a duck! The data.ini has been modified to represent the Duck. It has a bigger signature among many other electronic and flight model tweaks and is a magnet for enemy fighters. In reality the SU-34 is a much heavier and larger aircraft than the SU-27. Its cockpit is slathered in heavy armor. It flies heaviier as well. The SU-34 eliminated the airbrake on top according to every source I could find. The real Duck includes a resemblance of a toilet, resemblance of a kitchen and a resemblance of bunk space for sleeping. Although it can do effective air combat, this is not its primary role. Imagine dogfighting in a bomber! The Su-34 is seven tons heavier at empty weight and larger compared to the standard SU-27. That's going to have an effect during air combat.

I found this posted in a Discord server, it's another preview of the J-36's weapons bay, more plausible if you like:

That is very true, and your advice is always helpful! here is screenshot of TW F-84F (testing) About TMF F-84F, there are both regular and camo fuel tanks and with the enw data.ini tweaks, II added Grouplimit, so you can only select either regular or camo fuel tanks. Here are updated files for both TW and Wrench (TMF) F-84F (For anyone who want to test updated F-84Fs). F-84F - TW.7z F-84F_TMF.zip Cheers!

98.6% of TW birds have the drop tanks as detachable nodes of the main aircraft lod. They can be removed with the data ini trick... and... you can add "regular" drip tanks via both data ini and loadout edits. I know the tanks exist, as the TMF 84F should have them (can't remember if NMF or camo)

Hello everyone! Mission accomplished! I ama ble to remove the fuel tanks by hiding them via data editing for TW F-84F, so it is no longer present when rendering in simulation. At the same time, also maanged to add the HVAR to under outer left and right wings! At the same time, there is fixes for Wrench (TMF) F-84F with GroupLimit=", so it only allow you to selct either regular or camo fuel tanks, as well select either bombs or HVAR for outer wings. Both of TW and Wrench / TMF F-84F's updated data.ini will be included in next version of SF - CAP Beta. Cheers!

I'm adjusting the most complex flight control system I've ever met.

Super Etendard during carrier ops on board of 25 de Mayo

BVR Shot at 81 miles.

from the Seymour Johnson AFB airshow this yea r today i learned that CAP names their planes T-33 flying demo a few shots from the 4th FW firepower demo and the reason i still went even when everyone else in the family bowed out...... THE HOG!!! not the greatest shots, all taken from my phone camera. but i thought you guys might enjoy they got themselves a new title..........

slightly more serious but still funny... a few of the bootleg DVDs i bougth in Iraq actually had a "tour the factory" bit in the extras. and yes, it did show smiling workers opening legit DVDs and loading them in one machine, hooked up to 20 others with presumable blanks. was somewhere in the Philippines; not surprising as the Philippinoes working on Balad AB were the best source for bootleg anything without leaving the wire

I don't know if I put in just enough or if I exaggerated with realism, but...it is realistic.

May the force be with you! Happy STAR WARS day!!!!

We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming
