I have been doing a little testing on my EF-2000 and noticed some bugs that don't seem to be repeated on any threads........I think, so has anyone else noticed any weirdness with some animations on 3rd party A/C? particularily jet nozzles.........although I can't say mine are totally screwed up I have noticed that they don't move through the full range of motion, it seems I get about 50% of the range before AB kicks in and they open again. I have made my Typhoon nozzles very complex with a combination of scale and rotation animations. secondly flare and chaff effects seem a bit screwy....the smoke trails from flares seem to intertwine....so if I deploy a string of flares the smoke makes a sort of cross braced frame effect, and chaff seems a bit 'orange' like it is on fire? there are also some weird things happening to shadow effects but I think I read something about similar problems on other threads.

Thank peter very usefull info, I didn't know that it had 320 chaff

Merry christmas to al ! I already have a hangover, only a few crates of beer to go, and I should have a little help with them.

I have one in the very early stages.......well it's a hawk, but the plan is to make a T-45 as well, with full arrestor gear and the double side airbrakes, just not sure whether to make it an A or C model.

Thanks Guys

Even as a Brit I have to kinda agree, but I do think the fuselage+fin is not bad looking, I just don't like the wings and stabs (wings were there only to keep the nav lights appart anyway ) I had a theory it would have looked kick ass if it had a Viggen type layout with a delta wing...

Not quite, 243 is military and 121.5 is civil

I am rather surprised not to hear UHF 243Mhz mentioned, when I was flying for the UK coastguard we had PLB's in our lifevests that transmitted on Mil UHF 243 Mhz and the aircrafts tracking equipment was configured to seek Tx from both 121.5 Mhz and 243 Mhz, I would be surprised further if the military had not started to use the new 406, the GPS function would be invaluable, I pray the pilot gets found quick, I don't imagine surviving in that enviroment is going to be a walk in the park.

My guess is that some things just aren't possible, after all this is a 'sim lite' and complex engine management is not traditionally something TK considers for this series.

There is this little app I have tried before, it paints the scale for you and numbers it as well, quite usefull.....see what you think. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?autocom=downloads&showfile=2754 craig

This is inspirational work, I love it

I may be biased being a RL pilot but I don't understand how anyone can fly without it, when I fly in real life I turn my head to look out, plus it frees up the hat switch to map to extra game commands Before this becomes a thread hijack I'll post a gratuitous shot of my WIP Typhoon 2.0

Yep, agree with that, and furthermore it's not like the game is likely to radicalize anyone just because they play as Talibanies, it's almost hypocritical that the same (insert correct nomenclature here as liberals just sounds illogical) who wan't to ban this are the ones who give rights to radicals that preach hate against the west.......surely it's a very PC notion to alow both sides to give account for themselves?

This will include the gun just like the other one, not sure why you don't have a gun, perhaps you need to make the necessary adjustments to allow for the non-stock mauser cannon to be used in game?

Am I really naive.....but I just don't see a scenario at all where our governments will become so totalitarian, I just read the article and think someone was just trying their damnedest to prosecute a scumbag who insults the honour of every service man/woman...I mean obviously this 'stolen valour' law has been around a while yet I haven't heard of anyone being raided for ownership of unauthorised bibles, so in short another liberal a**hole judge has pulled the freedom of speech card out of his ass and protected the rights of a scumbag.

When I was flying the slingsby T67 (USAF T3) the spin recovery had to be complete by 3000ft AGL....if not we would have to hit the silk, it was a very lively aircraft in the spin and the spin recovery had to be done to the letter, no releasing the controls....full opposite rudder....PAUSE....control column centrally forward and wait for the rotation to stop, there were a few fatalities in the USAF from spinning accidents in the T3 and the debate is that the incorrect spin recovery was used, below 3000ft there was no time to make further attempts at recovery as it fell like a brick in a fully wound up spin. only aircraft I've flown that recovers itself from a spin is a cessna C152/150.

@Peter, I have had a few inquiries into multi nation versions and yes I will try to make variants that suit, theoretically this should be easy as all I will have to do is add/remove some small details in the 3D model, as for .ini editing I welcome anybodys inputs to create accurate representations of various versions, thanks for the colour codes.....Sundowner might make use of the info in relation to the skins, I myself just like info like that because I'm weird Will post a few more screenies soon as the progress on the skins has blown my mind, sundowner is doing some fine work. p.s. Peter.....I think I may already have the avionics file you are mentioning.

I lost my Dad 3 years ago, I know how you feel, sounds like our circumstances were similar, My deepest condolences.

Rode a couple of moose in my time..........

I want to do a new pilot and seat, visor will be a darker .tga and pilot will have eyes.

Oh what the hell.......heres some more screens messing about with it in some mountains.

Thanks Soulfreak, thats a good link to some usefull stuff. Still a long way to go on this, haven't started bump/normal mapping yet.
