  1. I just downloaded the Echo model and that thing is beautiful! Awesome work...I have no modding talent at all so I'm very impressed and thank you for sharing this.

     

    I do have one thing I wanted to mention. I noticed the Echo sits kind of high on the main landing gear, like they're not compressed enough. I should note that the only way I've flown it is with a light air/air load out so maybe with more weight on it, it sits more normal.

    Not a big deal, just curious.

     

    Thanks again for all the work and for sharing it with the rest of us!

  2. Keep in mind that the only air to air kill the Iraqi AF got against the US was a MiG-25 which hosed down a bug (Hornet). The AVG proved time and again that it is the driver, not the jet that wins the fight.

     

    That engagement proved that luck is an even bigger factor. The Foxbat slid up behind a jet that was flying straight and level, and apparently had multiple threat warning system malfunctions. Popped off a missile before shagging ass away from the other aircraft who were trying to get him. There was no maneuvering involved, and the Hornet driver likely never knew what hit him. By all accounts, Spike was a helluva stick and likely could have dusted the raghead in a dogfight.

    But it was a kill either way...and I remember reading where at least one fighter pilot has used the phrase "I'd rather be lucky than good".

     

    Of course, I heard that there were other theories that said that Spike's Hornet was shot down by either an F-15 or an F-14 that was attempting to target the Foxbat. I'm not sure anything was ever proven, or released to the public if it was.

  3. I just wanted to say that your Super Hornet ROCKS!!

     

    One thing, not a complaint 'cos I could never do this myself, but I noticed on the Super Hornet as well as the legacy Hornet that's been out a while, the main landing gear doesn't "droop" while in flight the way it does on the real jet. Is this just too much of a pain to model? It's a small detail, and like I said...I could not have done a better job myself. Just wondering.

    Thanks for giving us the F!

  4. I've been playing SF1 for a couple years now and never had to fool with the weapons editor before today. I just d/l'd the F/A-18F from here (niiiice jet BTW!!) and was trying to get the external fuel tanks to show up. The F/A-18F's designers instructions mentioned running weapons editor after changing the weapondata ini, so I did.

     

    Now when I run the game, I have no weapons-for any of my aircraft. Everything is still in in the weapons folder and the weaponsdata.ini looks the same (I think).

     

    Any advice on how I get my boom back? Thanks in advance.
