Centurion-1

Say hello to easy city placement!!!!

Awesome! I bet a lot of terrain makers will thank you for this!

So can someone brush up my canon here, didnt the empire fall after Return of the Jedi? I was under that impression at least. Or did it revert into the Republic again and the stormies are good guys now? Ahh confusion. Anyways, I'm pretty amped even if I have some reservations.

Awww, I thought it would be an EE Lightning painted in Soviet WW2 VVS colors, with the lily.. But this is cool too!

Ok. Well it would be good to get the ball rolling again! There are so many talented people here, I am sure we could make this work. I am swamped in projects otherwise I would give it a go, even got a proto map in TE done. Believe it or not, the first ever mod I attempted to do for SF2 was an Angola map. Lol. That was many, many hours of modding ago.

You guys should make a thread about it in the mods and skinning discussion topic, along with test results. If it really gives this good results it should be added to most AI aircraft I think. Wonder what it would do to my WIP MiG-25.. maybe set it low at just 4-5gs and see what happens.

Hello Gerwin, Any chance you had a look at that feature I asked for? Sorry to pester you like this.. but I think it would take out a lot of guesstimation from terrain work.

Hi Coupi, did you get any progress on this project? The new SAAF Mirages are nearing completion

And done (almost). An Angola terrain would be nice

Good job!! Love the Phantom!

Hi Denis, nice work! If you want to, I could integrate this work into the "Official" F-5E packs, or make a custom FAB F-5E model with the RFP integrated. Of course the F-5EM cockpit would be a lot of work, but I guess the RFP was added even before that upgrade? Anyways, PM me if interested Cheers, Mats

I like those videos, esp. part 2! It has a sort of cool feeling to it. A good song, too!

Action over Angola.

No hard feelings denis, constructive feedback is always good. Tho I can say that this model conforms 100% to most drawings I've found, some of Bpao's best work for sure! The team is hard at work making a lot of new shiny toys for you all to play with, here is a small snippet:

Hi Guys For the first time in SF2 I've spent some time flying the F/A-18 and I really like it, I am using the latest beta that was released. I have noticed some weird things however regarding the textures: a lot of the basic textures are only 1024X1024 yet the bump and specular maps are 2048x2048 and they also have more detail on them than some of the basic textures, so I guess these are created from a different template set? Is there any chance one could have this template for download, or is it a work-in-progress yet? I also noticed that the basic textures are saved as .jpg with a less-than full quality compression setting leading to really strong jpeg artifacts around panel lines and markings, I understand this as a space-saving measure but It does detract from overall looks. Anyways, thanks for a great bird.

Well, never intended to, but needed two low-viz skins and decided to try some weathering based on Wrench excellent templates, cause I found some really nice ref pictures. I will post the reason for this in the missions and campaign section soon. Yeah, I don't know but there must be some place in the Corsair II maintenance manual that prohibits cleaning and painting the aircraft too often

In search of the ultimate navy Corsair II weathering...

When I did the Kenya skin I almost figured Spinners would do this, looks great though!! DO more

Something I've been mucking around with... Loving Stary's terrain work here!!

Nice to see some Red air flyers here, you should find plenty to enjoy here at CombatAce! And more coming

That is good news Martin! @Mono27: Yes there is a lot of exciting stuff brewing for this campaign, quality takes time, Yes please, high-res skins FTW :)

Quality takes time!

I am glad you guys are having fun with the F-5E! I sort of figured you might, and indeed it seems to hold it's own vs. 4th gens pretty well in capable hands, as it has proven to do in real-life aggressor squadrons. While testing, the only plane I've really struggled with is the 3W miG-17 which is an excellent turner.

The work is not finished yet, started on the more modern Tiger IIs. Below is pictured an early beta of the KF-5E, which is pretty similar in standards to the Swiss F-5Es. Highlights include radar warning receivers, chaff/flare dispenser and better radar.

Yeah good job indeed!
