View File Su-17 Fitter-C V1.0 I know this has been a long way, but finally, we are releasing the first variant for the swing wing Su-17 series. The Su-17 (Sans Suffix) is the first production swing wing series coming from the fixed wing Su-7 series, which has been in service since 1959. the plane still shared some common parts with the 7, like the tail (same as the Su-7BKL series) and fuselage fuel pipes, to mention some external ones. The same store payload (more or less) was hanging from 6 external hardpoints, all for unguided munitions, the only real advantage with the Su-7 series is the swing wings that shortened the takeoff and landing runs. Unless its predecessor this specific variant was not widely exported, only Egypt was provided with a few examples (named Su-17K). CombatACE team who deserve credits on the project is mentioned below, please if someone is missing (Hey, this has more than 10 years in the making) is listed below: For the 3D aspects: Martin K. A.K.A. 76.IAP-Blackbird. Laszlo B. A.K.A. Logan4. Enoc M. A.K.A. FLOGGER23. The FM: Cliff7600 Armament Department: Snailman Cliff7600 Skinning: FLOGGER23 I want to thank the advice to the following guys: Snailman for the references Soulfreak for the stencil pics Stary for general skinning tips General installation tips. As this is a first release and the plane was operated by the Soviet Air Force, I recommend using it in the European/Asian-Ish terrains for realism. All squadrons and decals have been verified as historical, but errors may have been made, be nice to us (me) All of the mod folders have been arranged for you to drop them in the main game folder of your preference. Some weapons have been made from scratch, please review what you have and what you need. Some effects have been made, also, please back up what you have. Su-17K as mentioned above, will be released as separated for SF2:I Thanks to all who stayed this long with us to (hopefully) enjoy this release, we will work on the next variant as time allows, as they are in the final stages of release. Safe flights everyone! Submitter FLOGGER23 Submitted 02/14/2025 Category Su-17  

I am learning that the hardest way, with a more "simple" cockpit...

Hahaha, ok if I go around 60k for my pits i believe i will be sort of safe. You are still one of my role models hahahaha

Hello @ravenclaw_007 what is the average poly count for those cockpits?

My role model, indeed!

As a Soviet enthusiast modeler, I am happy to have another team member to correct my mistakes, which, in the end, are going to be beneficial to all of us. @michaelk I may ping you separately for any help I may need, thank you in advance. English is not my first language either, but as long as the ideas are understood, we will all be good!

Thank you!!! And i have named it correctly now, Thanks!!!

Here is the real one, in the PF goes inside the right aft panel (second pic)

I had some days with not publishing much of my WIPs, but I have been busy adding details, please, if you find errors, feel free to correct me :D And at the end I may have a question for @gepard What is that lever for?

I wish you the best Volker, get well and enjoy the holidays!!!

Some other needed planes: F3H Demon, F-11 Tiger, F9F Panthers, F9F Cougars, maybe a good ol' F7U Cutlass...

@GKABS Maybe some Saab Drakens would be desirable me thinks...

All in the process!

That's the one! Not of any use in game, but it's ugliness calls my attention :D
