First steps toward the NF-5a(CF-5a) .. those vent doors on the rear fuselage were a #@$$$ to animate :( Now i've just got to do the f-5E style nose gear and the re-fueling probe ..

All the best!!

Thanks for all your support and kind words gentlemen! I am planning to do the F-5c(skoshi-tiger) variant as well as the N-F-5a before I release the lot; but there's still much work left to do. Would any of our flightmodel masters be interested in overhauling the original flightmodel?? also would any of our talented skinners be up to ceating some vietnam liveries and a couple for the NF-5a? Please let me know if anyone is interested!

One can dream and fantasize, right?

Hello all! First, I'd like to apologize for taking so long to reply to those expressing interest; real life has put me through the grinder over the last year.. Nevertheless; The project is back on track and I'd like to post a few shots of progress .. Many thanks to Dag who has done the RNoAF F-5a texture work + tonnes of other stuff, plus a huge thankyou to Ravenclaw who has made corrections to the gear animation, has modelled the parachute internal bay, the arrestor hook deployment mechanism and has graciously provided his weapons and some of the "special" pylons. Brain32; as mentioned earlier helped put the cockpit in game and provided much of his time with templates;ini work .. and helpful advice! I'm currently trying to get the complex canopy mechanism animated and have plenty more to do, Hopefully I can post more progress shots as they transpire, Cheers

Drop-dead-Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! This is a work of art Volker;congratulations!!

Prayers are out brother! Get well soon; you are a phenomenon! ..ain't nothing gonna keep you down:)

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

First i've heard also .. very very interesting! Do we know If any combat with F-5a(s) ensued?

what a fantastic job!!!!! Textures are really nice and the cockpit incredibly immersive! P.S Any idea why I don't get text indicating which weapon I've selected?

Go Russ!! Outstanding progress!

Though the F-5a is elegant, the F-5E is sexy!! Wonderful Job Centurion!!!! She's looking really hot!

I've seen bigger Absolutely beautiful!!! Your attention to detail is inspiring!!!!!

Absolutely wonderful Paulo! Congratulations to everyone involved!

fantastic job!!

Fantastic work!!

Thanks Piecemeal and Centurion for making an already wondrous terrain even better!!!!

Hello centurion! The whole external model is mapped onto three 4096x4096 textures (could be knocked down to 2048x2048 with only slightly noticeable degradation). Dag has been working really hard doing the Norwegian textures;stencils;testing and generally helping get the project nearer to completion. His Silver versions really look spectacular!

This is seriously exciting stuff!

Gorgeous!!!

Thankyou very much Florian; I can now experiment:)

Hello all is it absolutely necessary for my model to be exported with the "decals" option in order to have decals show up in the game? i'd have exported "with" decals but many objects on the model turn out this translucent black color! thanks for any help Cheers
