Simply superb! You just inspired me to spend a good portion of my weekend working on my Thud v2.0! Aghhh ;) Cheers :)

I reported this bug to TK a while ago, hopefully it will be fixed :)

I will animate the A-7B's outer wings to fold up, but I probably won't tie it to the data file until a time when it's needed i.e if/when carriers are made possible. Cheers

Hmm that's pretty odd, I dont quite know what the problem could be.

Sweet :shock:

Noticed while flying the A-4E just how ugly the LABS gauge texture is. I guess it's cut from a photo. So anyway because its in your view 95% of the time I decided to repaint it. Old vs New Download here: http://3dactionplanet.com/flashpoint/winte..._labs_gauge.zip p.s the digital display is obscured by the gauge numbers in-game so I didnt put too much effort into it. Comments welcome. cheers :)

Absolutely beautiful, at this rate there'll be no more navy aircraft to model soon!

As much as I would love to fly the prowler now I would much rather wait and get the full effect of a cockpit to give me the WOW factor. IMO If a modder has the time, ability and resources to make a cockpit for his aircraft he should wait until he's built the cockpit aswell as the aircraft before releasing. Sorry if sound "pressuring" or like an "elitist". :) In summary, I think you'll get a much better reception from the community if you release with a pit! :)

Hopefully you will "soon". Its progressing at a fast rate and it's getting only the best TLC. Infact I stayed up all night Monday working on the cockpit and really haven't stopped since. Major obsession is kicking-in :)

Elevons are now possible due to some smart thinking from Hawker7. Shouldn't be a problem.

Found the file that controls the splash screen when I was looking through the .cats. Download: http://www.max-gs.com/adave/files/strat_fi...ash_remover.zip Readme: Strategy First Splash Screen Remover ------------------------------------ These files remove the annoying Strategy first splash screen from the start up for P1 and starts the game instantly instead of having to wait 5 seconds or clicking your mouse. Installation ------------ Unzip the files in the strat_first_splash_remover.zip to your Strike FightersMenu directory. Start SF, voila, no splashscreen. Author ----- David AKA Armourdave. Enjoy :)

Just for s**ts and giggles: I checked the length in 3dsmax and it came out at about 13.97 meters. I converted that to feet and that comes out at about 45 feet, 9/10 inches. Which according to the spec I have of the A-7A means its about 4 inces too short. These 4 inches could be lost due to either A, the basic way i'm measuring the model length, B, the model is not quite correct, C, The A-7A is slightly longer than the B or D, when I UNIVERSAL scaled it to the correct dimensions I made it about a hundred and fiftieth too small. Either way it makes no difference, theres no possible way you could tell if a 46 foot aircraft is 4 inches too short or not bye eye, especially not by comparing it to an F-8 ;) !

Well I've verified the model up against a top quality side drawing and it's 100% spot on.

What exactly does squat mean?

Looks sweet :)

Maybe people are just obeying that old phrase "If you've got nothing worth saying, dont say anything at all" :)

Thanks guy, though just to re-iterate, it's Deuces work ! :) Beer, Close! It tells you to donate your life savings to my bank account so that I can sit around eating junkfood all day instead of going to university

Hey All, Deuces has been slaving away working on a new site to host my addons and the relative information. You can check it out here: http://www.max-gs.com/adave/ You can download my Thud there and once completed all the other addons I produce. Once again thanks to Deuces :)

Well this was our reason for creating the skunkworks nearly a year ago. Unfortuneatly due to a lack of a real webmaster and a general lack of leadership/direction it's just become a meeting point for people who want to work on completely different aircraft. Grille Chompa, The idea of an installer is great. Not so much use for aircraft as yuo just need to unzip the folder from the zip into the aircraft directory. It could however be very useful for things like daggers clouds, or hawkers canopy mod. Maybe you could write a piece of software that would read a .txt file that contained the name of the file(s) and the directory that the file(s) should be put it. The contents of the txt file could be written to the programs database so that it could easily uninstall the addon/mod. Just an idea ;) The whole idea of a united plane pack is not a great one IMO. The download size would be out of 56k users reach, and hosts wouldn't want to touch it. It would be a complete nightmare to update. Duplication could be an issue. Extra confussion for the end user. A pack of small mods/tweaks would be much more reasonable IMO.

TW dont have the manpower that Maddox have. They have enough on their plate without taking on the communities problems and mistakes. A nice idea, yes..Workable, I highly doubt it.

Is that an A-7B or A-7E? The outer pylon looks vertically shorter. Wonder if that's just an illusion because of the wing angle compare to the camera or if I made a mistake.

Hold your horses guys ;) Swede is working on this for another project, I dont think he plans to release an F-16 for SFP1.

Hawker, What's your email address? I'll email you the max plugin and see if I can put you on the right track.. Cheers

Sorry to say this wont be happening. I have plans for the thud in regards to Wolfs nam campaigns and terrain. Stay tuned. Once again, sorry.
