Thanks guys, I just hit another snag, I remembered to back all those files... ACcept my effects folder....

Ok, I feel like an idiot, I'm a longtime member of the community, I *should* know this, I'm trying to remember the patch order from original Gold Release SFP1or if I could go straight to SP4, I don't think I can I just can't remember the order! (luckily I had all my mods backed up save for the F-35, just gonna drop my weaps, effects and aircraft folders back in)

almost looks like it has the same PT6 as the Texan II

The question is does this also rule out a navalized version of the HAL Tejas for the same role or were the Fulcrum-Ks always intended as a 'lead in' to that aircraft? Which incidently is an aircraft I'd like to see in Wings Over series. Ever since I started coming to forums and you've posted Ghostrider I've gotten more and more interested in the IAF and the IN.

Is that the Charlie Variant?

My only problem is finding the Chinese weapons files, they're not in the newest mirage factory weapons pack as far as I can tell.

Dels, if it is at all possible may I make a suggestion? If this is going to be and 'armed' version may I suggest adding 'Winder rails to the wingtips?

Really nothing to do because those are part of the MAX files, you can't really change them unless you have access to those.

Beleive me, disapearing has been the *last* thing on my mind, I've even been on the boards but I never post because most the time, I'm being pulled away. We had a bunch of things hit us in succession and needless to say, computer has been on the back burner. I *HOPE* I might be a bit more regular but we'll see. Only reason I posted so earlier today was because they gave us a day off for an eith an inch of snow. *shakes head*

*Agrees with USAFMTL though he has yet to replace his himself* But just to answer your question some of the older models I'm not exactly sure why, the catapult strength on some of the carriers was too much and you had to adjust the ship's cat strength to compensate. But like USAFMTL said, just go ahead and replace your old gear, I'm just spouting knowledge for spouting knowledge sake above:)

I am... a terrifying terrorist.....

I'm guessing I'm going to have to ask and bribe Sundowner to redo his FAA skins for the new SLUF.

I'd be in as well but I have to be back in time for dinner... *blushes and waits for the whipping sounds to commence*

I know the Swedish version doesn't have the false cockpit. I think its mostly the export Gripens that do, mainly Hungarian and the South African aircraft from what I know.

My personal opinion is that this mod has been worth the wait when it comes out, even if it is 'beta' there are many here that probably would jump at the chance to dig into the INI:)

From everything I've been told though its not official the F-2A's nickname among its pilots is 'Viper Zero' for the origins as a F-16 and as an homage to the A6M Risen.

Found, was sitting under my nose the entire time, I just never saw it. The Viper Zero is a joy to fly by the way, nice stable bombing platform.

Yeup, I'm blind

Dave? I think I got a slight bug report, there is no weapons INI data as far as I can tell in the readme for the drop tanks, unless I'm blind as a bat and its included elsewhere.

I've been trying to find some three-views of the different Japanese weapons ever since the KAI-project but I've never been able to find any which probably proves I'm not veyr good and internet research ;)

The 'Viper Zero' as the pilots of the JASDF have taken to calling this aircraft has a larger wing, tailplane and air intake than an F-16 along with a three-peice canopy (instead of the 1-piece we are use to) and a NATO F-16 style drog-chute fairing as well as a wider nose for the Mitsubishi Electronics AESA phased array radar. As far as weapons options they are specifically designed and wired for the Type 80 and Type 92 anti-ship missiles (we call them ASM-1 and ASM-2) as well as Type 90 air to air missile (AAM-3) which is based off the AIM-9 and Japanese percision guided bomb packages the centering around the CGS-1 IR seeker head. Unfortunately unless USAFMTL and company have a treat planned for us, we won't be able to take advantage of the Japanese weapons fits, since as far as I know non of them exhist at the moment in the Weapons Pack. Still, for the Viper lovers among us, this is a wonderful treat indeed to go along with the XL we got earlier :D

The FRS2 was an add on made before even the 'hud workaround' was introduced if I remember correctly, it has never been updated to 'current' standards. It has been a long time since I've played around with INIs but I think that this one might be possible to add current tech huds with a little work but don't quote me on that, or as if I'll ever have time. Plus you would need permission from the original author.

Nope, he was talking about the ATSI, it was if I remember right a research aircraft designed to test post-stall maneuverability applications, it had 'downward' pointing canards on the chin intake. Early artists impressions also had the JASDF's Mitsubishi F-2A Viper Zero, a F-16 derivitive (new wing as well as other differences from the basic Viper) also included these canards but it was later revealed that the Viper Zero would not have these. The Lavi was actually a aircraft that came very close to production in Israel till poltical pressure forced the cancellation of the project (we ended up giving them more Viper airframes to help compensate) but was used as an advanced technology demostrator after the cancellation of the project.

I donno, maybe I'm doing something wrong:) laptop dosen't have SF on it and the desktop is 70 miles away.

*bonks Dave on the head good naturedly* silly USAFMTL :D:D:D:D Maybe I am, I don't have my desktop with me at the moment so I can't test it again:) Like I said I'm most likely nitpicking, also I fly on Hard so....:)
