Here are pics of Farids beautiful new original SU-34 3D model (with a FLAT nose, ha, ha, ha). along with some of his skins with his permission.. .(this model is new and is not the former 3D SU-34 model previously posted on Combatace which "shall not be named." We are collaborating on this project. I am doing .inis and he has done the 3D model. He is working on a beautiful 3D cockpit. He needs to finish it before release . I have my finished stand-in SU-34. I have not decided to release my stand-in for now because it has an incorrect nose shape. Cheers!

Thanks Gepard and EricJ. My modelling skills are not good enough to make the nose flat by myself. Farid sent me a model I might be able to use. Thank you Farid!

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 was a bit confused by the instrutions in this thread. I had similar problems after some Windows updates and fixed it by renaming the options.ini to to OptionsBAK.ini and then restarted the game. Now It worked normally and it remembered my joysttick changes. So to do it go to Users, "C:\Users\whatever your name is\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 (or whatever Mod folder you have such as SF2NA). open the folder. find the Options.ini. Rename it to OptionsBAK.ini. Save the OptionsBak.ini restart your Strikefighters game. Now you can save joystick settings.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for all you do for this website and the community!

Nice! You are so creative! Those nasty Russians are trying gain another foothold! Perhaps the French might want to get involved as in the Suez incident and provide Ouragans and Mysteres. I’ve always liked the French comic books Tanguy et Laverdure about the French Ouragans, Mysteres and Mirage llls in action in French Africa.
