CrimsonRoamer

They've been sitting on my hard drive for quite long enough, and I'm going to be VERY busy with college for the rest of the year, so I'm going to release them now. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=7587 Also, speaking of anime skins, what's that flying at such high altitude? Hmm purple and green camouflage, two-seater and recon cameras on the underside. I wonder...

They are for the Mirage factory's F-8E and F-16 Blk.1 respectively.

I just bought Wings over Vietnam, and immediately patched it up to Oct 08 (a double 20th birthday present) Gotta say I am liking the Skoshi Tiger (those MiGs aren't though )

Got the anime style pylons working, may some fuel tanks too (though if you watch the opening scene, shins F-8 has more loadout inconsistencies than Iron Eagle, and THATS an accomplishment) And for anyone who thought strike fighters wasn't based on Area 88, take a look into the namesmerc.lst

Recently dug this out of my WIP archive, for the MF F-8E I finally managed to get the transparency layers in the decals working so It'll be released as soon as soon as I have new shark mouth decals and the modified pylons ready. Also, Invincible Charlie on CAP

Aw bugger, I'm late TSR-2 anti flash white for the RAF's new strike fighter

If you're talking about the RAF big wings, then its Leigh-Mallory

I believe I mentioned that it explodes on take off or landing in the readme. It's a problem with the landing gear which isn't fixed yet

I refined the deploy values and it actually works perfectly the following manuvers were done at about 450knots The same trick should work on any aircraft with a swing wing

Anyway, if this works it'll allow three position sweep

Beta version uploaded. I think I may also have fixed the problem with the nosegear hanging out. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=7322

View File Beriev 2500 NEPTUN super heavy This is a Beta version of my Be2500. It is UN-finished. Read the readme for details. It is also, incidently, the largest flyable mod aircraft in any flight sim in the world. Submitter CrimsonRoamer Submitted 09/21/2008 Category Fictional Aircraft, Experimental and UAV's

I've gone and gotten used to knots and feet in aviation, but everything else is mostly système International

Getting stuck in an inverted cobra manuver.

Since I'm going to be very busy for the rest of the semester I'll probably release a beta version tomorrow. It will be very crudely skinned, with a unrefined flight model, and may explode without warning.

I moved the center of gravity back and lowered the thrust positions of the engines so now its stable in flight and almost ready for beta release, all that's required now is skinning and setting collision points and min-max extents (I can't seem to get the minmax maxscript working) Also this strange glitch started happening. The pilot positions are correct but I keep gettig this glitch Any ideas? as for the ALBM, she can carry Anti-ship missiles like the caspian sea monster, or cruise missile, in addition to over 100 bombs and assorted munitions That missile is the new Russian Bulava cruise missile http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulava_(missile) Has anyone got any ideas as to how it could be launched at a 25degree angle like the launcher Right now I'm thiking of 3 versions, a strike version (bombs and cruise missiles) an AWACs (with intercept radar and long range missiles like the B-1R) and an escort version (gun turrets) Most of the modelling problems are done with. on to skinning and flight model

What about if you linked the pylon to the model node of a rotating radome? that way the missile would sweep 360 degrees EDIT: I reduced the depth of the bomb bay by half to help mitigate the problems with overloading the aircraft (I really ought to try installing SDBs) However, in keeping with the tradition of ekranoplanes I installed something else instead A pair of ALBM launchers. I also managed to stop the uncommanded pitch down, at least while the engines are idle EDIT 2:

For missiles, an example from the F-18 [RightOuterWingStation4] //SUU-63 Pylon with LAU-115A/A SystemType=WEAPON_STATION StationID=12 StationGroupID=2 StationType=EXTERNAL AttachmentPosition= 3.092,-1.7,-0.727 [b]AttachmentAngles=0.0,-1.0,90.0[/b] LoadLimit=2600 DiameterLimit=0.3 AllowedWeaponClass=IRM,AHM AttachmentType=NATO,USN ModelNodeName=RightOuterPyl02 PylonMass=91.4 PylonDragArea=0.03 LaunchRailNodeName= you can set the angles to whatever you want

VF-0 you say. Sorry to point this out but... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=4233

I think I may have made the bomb-bay too big, on a conventional bomb-load it looks empty, and when I release the lot a once my system lags with all the explosion effects, right now I've got it set up with 144 in the front, with the option of 4 very large bombs (MOABs or Tsar bombs) in the front bay, and nine MOABs in the rear, Technically there's enough room for 8 MOABS in the front, and if If I arranged them in 5X4 rows they go 19 bombs deep (that 760 hardpoints. I had to impose a weight limit of 10,000kg for each bay grouping of 30) EDIT latest: Even with 144 Mk.82 500lb bombs it still looks kinda spacious, maybe I should make it so the bombs go at the sides and the MOABs and other outsize weapons hang in the middle Afterwards we flew over an enemy city where we were set upon by SA-6s, SA-9s and were intercepted by 6 MiG-29Cs, 2 MiG-29is914s and 2 MiG-31BMs our ECM and chaff prevented any enemy missiles tracking. Until they got within gun range. A gunship escort is looking like a good idea now.

Got the bomb-bays working That's 120 bombs in the forward bay alone, and it looks like there is room for another row Yes, those are B61 nukes Afterwards I decided to test the countermeasures by flying over enemy airspace. Yeah, they work pretty well

Since it just turned midnight this counts That is, 30 Mk.84 200lb bombs, 30 Mk.117 750lb bombs, 30 Mk.77 firebombs and 30 250kg AIR munitions that didn't deploy. Plus nine B61 nukes in the back
