Well that is a misconception, no one is modding for compliments and the appreciation from anyone. As Column5 said, we do it for ourselves, its just a bonus that the community get to use the fruits of our labor. Ask any modder here and they will tell you the same thing. I got tons of mods I have done and have not released to anyone. Some of us modders mod and just give it to other modders. i.e. keep it in house. I have no ego to bruise and do not need anyone to kiss my ass over a mod. Thank you are nice but its not why we do it. Gripen is coming we just need an FM for it. Our FM guy is gone for right now though.

Took care of the rivet counter....

Nice skins PGC.

Not hardly, not even close. People have their limits man. And its has gotten to a point with some modders.

And you can see why YAP and Prowler are payware. Might as well get paid for their time. I mean hell a few of us could do that. Might bring that up to the Mirage Factory. Then at least when people whine we have their money.....then they can whine since they bought it.

MOAB, when you care to send the very best. I should write for Hallmark.

I voted for B. Ken drop me a line if you get a chance.

In fact this is just done, we have had our say.

Should of never been brought up to begin with. It was just plain asinine. I know you didn't mean to start an argument over it but it pissed some people off. The first post, was someone nit picking it just after we talked about not doing that a few weeks ago. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=23192 In fact here is your post on the top of page 2 of that thread. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...23192&st=20 So be pissed off all you want, you did it to yourself.

Read this..... See what I said about putting your installs on the desktop. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry112086 No issues...

In fact drdoyo your experience is what we need here to help correct those who don't have a damn clue on what they are talking about.

Wasn't anything you said at all. It was the very first post after the screen shots were posted. Everything else was a result in which we all were a part of.

And the thing that gets me the most was the fact we ended talking about what it could carry, instead of talking about the model itself. It became a complete after thought.

Here is a good example of constructive criticism. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...mp;#entry111934 Well thought out, not nit picky of this "only carries this". A fay cry from what went on in this topic.

I guess the problem was though, the very first post was a criticism of it. Namely how many Sparrows it can carry. I couldn't believe it and so couldn't other members of the Mirage Factory. And some of you wonder why we modders get irritated. You wonder why we take so long to release stuff, because of stupid crap like that. Constructive criticism is fine but rivet counting like this is just plain dumb. The post was about the plane not the damn missiles. So I can tell you this, anymore rivet counting and those posts are going to disappear. Period. If the community keeps it up, you all are going to be responsible for the death of it because no one is going to want to mod it.

TK already stated that those were not going to happen.

I am going to buy it because A.) It supports TK. B.) It has the conflict all wrapped up into one nice neat package. C.) It has the A-4H which we don't have.

The tail pipe was extended to help cope with IR guided SAM's. From Joe Baugher's website. http://home.att.net/~jbaugher4/newa4_11.html During and after the Yom Kippur War, surviving A-4Hs were fitted with extended jetpipes that were intended to make the aircraft less vulnerable to shoulder-launched SAMs. The principle was that any infrared homing missile which would strike the aircraft would explode at the end of the tailpipe rather than inside the engine, giving the plane a better chance to survive and return safely to base.

You are going to enjoy this everyone. A challenge to fly for sure.

Are you implying sir that I am a Mirage?

Shudders......I will pass.

From everyone here at Combatace to you and your families have a great Thanksgiving. Just do me a favor, save some food for when I get off duty please...... I know some of you are going to put away 4 times your own body weight. LOL Seriously though, have a wonderful day with your families.

Looking good too.
