God, I've hit another snag. How do I get the crosshair of the internal laser designator to show up? Could not make it to work at the moment (however, the alternative I have is to create an additional station and have the 'software' of the SniperXR as a weapon in place of the internal LANTIRN's, and it would be loaded via the loadout.ini).

Christmas is coming really early this year.

War against the JAM, the early days, perhaps?

Probably not much of an update, but this is the guy's current state. The decals would probably remain as it is (like previously, although I have removed the eagles on the nose). Since no exact serials are available, the numbers are probably best left empty for now.

Still working on this guy.

Well, people are saying that ligers are HUGE (in their terms). I tend to believe that if that pic is real.

Actually, speaking of chat rooms, I tend to use complete sentences. Maybe because probably half of the time chatspeak gets me uuurrrggghhh.

Hmmm. Thanks for pointing them out, although in the case of the decals it is more or less a case of taking some Artistic License. Since the scheme is not finalized yet, I would have to do make do with what we see so far... though I admit that this still needs some work, and I would love to have more pictures of the first built aircraft other than that one.

Business as usual...

Timeless. Until now, I still think that it is pretty funny.

Also. I can't wait to drop the heavies from this guy.

Probably something reserved for future use, or just to challenge how well we would try to maintain a lock, or probably something to do with seek angle or something that I don't know of. Well, there is a lot of things that I don't know of at all (such as use of having data-link equipment in-game when the coding isn't there) that would suddenly become something new to me (maybe because unlike some of us here, I am just a normal guy who happened to have an interest in planes and such). Work on the thing is kind of stalled at the moment, mainly because of work and the fact that I am bombing things with Tomcats. Plus I have no idea what else I need (the scheme would kind of have to stay the way it currently looks at the moment).

You have forgot someone. The F-14, and the intended purpose of the Phoenix.

It's...beautiful...

Nope, it wasn't the Siberian Sun. I am running a mix of Widesky with polak's (or was it polak's?) sky backgrounds. Haven't been running Siberian Sky for a while now.

There's another thing to note. I'm not exactly sure about whether this is right for the Sniper, or not (for this I just changed from SystemName[036]=LANTIRN to SystemName[036]=Sniper), I just tried to see what the Sniper XR entry in Bunyap's WP show. [Sniper] SystemType=LASER_DESIGNATOR ModelNodeName= CameraFOV=2.500000 SightTexture=avq23sight1.tga CameraPosition=-0.800000,0.125000,-1.00000 CameraYaw=0.000000 CameraPitch=0.000000 CameraRoll=0.000000 EODisplayFlags=268501249 <--- This is what I've changed, wasn't sure what it does. SeekerRange=30.000000 SeekerGimbleLimit=120.000000 SearchFOV=5.000000 SearchTexture=avq23sight2.tga

Good observation EricJ! For now I'm using the PilotModelName method to get the Sniper to appear in place of the AAQ-14. Anyway, this is what I did to replace the LANTIRN with the Sniper. 1. If you have Bunyap's WP, place SNIPER_POD.LOD and SNIPERPOD into your Aircraft folder. 2. Do the following: Under [AircraftData], add the following: Component[009]=Remove1 [Remove1] ParentComponentName=Cockpit ModelNodeName=AN/AAQ-14_ok DestroyedNodeName=AN/AAQ-14 DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE Then, under [Fuselage], add the following: SystemName[038]=SniperXR After this, above [Crew], add the following: [SniperXR] PilotModelName=SNIPER_POD SystemType=PILOT_COCKPIT Position=-1.220000,0.435000,-1.00000 Take note that the position of the pod might be a little bit off.

I decided on some kind of hybrid scheme (which would have decal placements of the first production F-15SG and the Singapore flag on the fin, at least at this moment). However, this is still NOT final. At least I wanted something like this. The serial would still be up to question of whether it would make it to the final scheme or not, since this is clearly a USAF serial. EDIT: Some more pics. Most of the pieces you see here are Bunyap's, although the SDBs are FC's (although they would not probably carry these in real-life, due to 'certain issues' involving someone up north of Singapore).

WIP F-15SG. Also, OH THE IRONY.

Continuation from the other thread. Note, the placement of the decals are NOT final. I am still having trouble deciding between either the scheme based on the one showed in the promotional pic (which means I need to about only the national insignia and the flag on the fins), or the first production F-15SG (which is currently having a USAF-based serial on the fins, much in a way like USAF F-15s, and it have a different fuselage insignia placement compared to schemes on other F-15E-based birds, with the exception of the F-15I). Lack of seriously good information (at least that is a fault on my part), such as which squadron would be flying them etc. would be a future problem. You might notice that something else has changed. I would place the tweaks on a post here (all you need is knowledge of .ini tweaking and some bits) if anyone is interested in it.

Long way to go (haven't touched on the serials yet)...this is going to be a torture (using the F-15K, since they are technically the same, at least in terms of the exterior). Using the default TW insignias to find the ideal placements, would find a way to use the black insignias from the first production F-15SG. I would still prefer to wait until it was in actual service before anything. Other things: The LANTIRN targeting pod needs to be replaced by the Sniper targeting pod. Another thing. I need, as ironic as it sounds...Su-30MKMs to fight against.

Trying to make an F-15SG here.

Hmmm. I took out the decals from the F-15E skins for my what-if Malaysian Strike Eagles, so let me see if I could start somewhere...the only thing I would probably need are some squadron info (I'm assuming one of the A-4SU squadrons) and serials (first F-15SG were given something like 08-0001, and at this rate, the most one could make is a skin for ONE AIRCRAFT at the moment if you were to go for realism)... Plus decal placements. The pic published by Boeing showed a slightly different RSAF insignia placement, so got to figure that out too.

"This would teach them one hell of a lesson. A really hard one."

Yeah, it would be fun to fly something our neighbours down south fly. Although they are more or less similar to F-15Ks (at least, the GE-powered batch, and the only difference is maybe radar and some avionics bits, although their difference could be greater than what we thought).
