thank you for your tips. there is a working version of marcfighter's Ajeet included in die SF2IO-package (SF2 - Indian Ocean). ;-) cheers sokol

Hi, I returned to Marcfighter's Ajeet only to find that it does not show it's gear when extended. There are screenshot around here at combatace which show the complete aircraft, alas in my installation of sf2 NA the gear comes out, but disappears when extended. Mue's Lodviewer confirms this strange behaviour. is there a fix available? cheers &thanks sokol

well, this is not bad either

simply amazing aircraft-model.

wow, really stunning. and a new perspective. @dtmdrogan: just click on die silver swallow studio-link in the first post, you will be redirected to the tariler on facebook. cheers sokol

beautiful & amazing like they say: can't wait :-) cheers sokol

amazing work & very very welcomed. do you provide templates for texturing ? these types cry for new textures, as there wass a multitude of camouflages in ww2. thanks for your work sokol

gentlemen, thanks for your advice. i did use the paperclip-way, but was not quite sure about policies ;-) cheers sokol

amariani - simply marvellous. my dumb question: which is the best way to include pictures ? it used to be to link to photbucket ... thx for advice sokol

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh when ???????????????????????????????????????????

nice aircraft & nice story though: too large an airplane for too small an engine (single engine!) cheers sokol

which are you favorite terrains in terms of eyecandy or playability or realism or theatre or combined ? Background: I have some 3 dozens of terrains installed: ww2, vietnam, pacifc, africa, etc., but as the looks of the terrains were always a weak point of thirdwire's sim I tend to play only a few: Angola, Finland (A-Team), Vietnam (yap), which is a pity. so, which do you like most ? cheers sokol

Hi, the same concept was evaluated in the 1960ies. I remember a picture of an A-4 Skyhawk taking off from a circular test runway in a contemporary German tech-magazine. What I cannot remember is whether it was an actual photograph or an artits's impression. They dumped the idea. Which is no surprise. sokol

Hi some swing wing fitters cheers sokol

Hi stratos, a working rato has been around since sf1. the idea (original by spillone, modificationy by myelf) is quite simple, you need: - eyecandy: a rato-bottle, an effect and some sound - an additional internal (!) modified gun, which, when fired, propells the aircraft in the air through it's recoil. the take-off run is reduced by 30 - 50%. quite impressive. some more:

Hi soviet aircraft used their chutes on almost every landing, tk does not provide this feature. as long as there is no decent way to provide a default MiG or Sukhoi with a working chute - as did some folks with TMF-aircraft (thanks Russo for your MiG-29 !!!;-) - I played with eyecandy, using a YAP-model. as this is restricted by copyright: can anybody produce a freeware model for a chute ? maybe a cruciform one ? with it's texture in tga-format for more versatility ? a teaser: cheers sokol

Hi yakarov79, you have got mail. one more: cheers sokol

hi the idea was: as long as we do not have working chutes - and we will never get them for default-aircraft - , a simple lod-file of a chute will / must do as eye-candy. this model/lod-file should be freely available to everyone. sokol

Su-7 with SPRD-100

very very impressive as of today i use different faux-/stand-in-aircraft for ths period - sino-japanese-war - , but your models beat sure evrything around ;-) hope to fly rthem soon in sf2 sokol

perfectly true, an outstanding aircraft. making it a2g capable has a lot to do with changing requirements in a changing world: after the demise of the USSR and it's fighters there was a lot more emphasis on bombing the various "bad" guys around (afghani, iraqui, yugoslavian ... you name them). btw: the LWF owed a lot to the soviets: the concept itself is a remake of the MiG-21 and it's virtues, and the shape of the YF-16 ressembles one of the MiG-derivatives, the Ye-8, esp. in side-view. cheers sokol
