Brits have a solid background in aircraft design. Aviation marvels have been designed and got built in Britain unofrtunately many of them to just end up canceled projects. They always designed amazing planes, they can do that. Its their weird politics and strategies that have been chocking up their thrive in aviation to its deserved potential. Not the case with Typhoon though. Although it took ages to get finished, (its to my perception, a plane based on the principles and facts of third generation fighters, i consider it the outmost third generation epilogue rather than a forth generation, its core, its design principles are third generation, not far lets say than maybe what an F16XL with two engines would had been) its essentialy a Brit design. It was based on a brit study , the EAR/EFA and the engine was also based on a RR (XM40 something) engine study. The final product ofcourse would be only possible with the contribution of all those countries mainly in financial terms, as a result theres a big number of planes being built , which is a key element in a projects survivability, and its price is only 10% more of a mirage 2000-5 ...............

no worries! no probs with me about your timing literaly :D (duh, should there even be a timing with uploading stuff? lol you just upload when you are dang good and ready and we then come and worship you when the planets are aligned to bless us with friggin free time :D) i was just teasing, out of excitement (u know, being told about timing from a girl, my little nasty mind :P not to mention typhoon arousal :P ) - (i think we discussed before my weird sense of humor huh?) apologies for any confusion :D

i'd be bit worried though about that timing coment hmmmm ....

same here !! even worse, dang i have to work on Sunday too ! at least there will be some fixes postes and issues addressed by then ...

I am a little confused does this give the D the GE nozzles?

oh dear ...

... Unleash the Typhoon ... i dont think Craig's going by beta. And we better maybe leave the man in his peace to do what he likes to do as he likes when he likes

LOL LOL Thermopilator LOL LOL LOL LOL Well, hmmm israel terrain has Cyprus :P No i am not asking in general, unless its a poll or i am asked what would i want ;) i dont think moders are creating (or have to) in response to individual requests. They just materialize what they consider fun ideas for themselves first. I am in the process of reading / studying about terrain making (thanks Gepard!!!). I might try make an Aegean terrain myself if i want it so bad and free time status allows it.

i think Craig needs to make this payware :D lol

the cockpit looks great craig!

Unfortunately i think it takes a lot more than asking for someone to build a terrain .... Since its a complicated and lengthy undertaking it takes serious personal interest of the maker to build one ... - sfg = ? - Gibraltar? Whats about Gibraltar that Typhoons may be called to fight? Conflict between UK and Spain and Morocco? (UK Typhoons fighting Spain Typhoons? or morocco ...Rafales?)

Israeli anything swedish ? LOL LOL Its just that some here have a crush on the israeli camos (i don't blame them!) :D

I hope any swede isn't reading this thread (in SpringFlag '06 they canceled their participation when Israelis were accepted in, not to mention the embargo of their systems )

omg ......

don't count on me for that, just teasing (sorrrrry :blush2:), you have been too tempting of a teasing material to resist

Continuing the chit chat on new Viggen from there http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showt...2879&st=360 (and more specificaly from here on) and in what heaven would that have you in? 8th ?

bit off topic (still SAAB though ), a nice Viggen shot i stumbled upon, from Falcon4 upcoming FreeFalcon5

1. Have you tried the refly thing with everything maxed out (shadows on) ? (Load mission, once loaded, exit and refly) 2. Whats the situation with everything maxed out but shadows off?

A very acute (and annoying) FPS drop on WoI by slight view angle change has been the cause to discover that in general the TW sims in my system(*) impove their framerates when I refly the mission. Verified only for auto single missions so far. Here's the initial post in TW forum http://bbs.thirdwire.com/phpBB/viewtopic.p...asc&start=8 I was suggested that there has been info about this somwhere in CA but haven't found it yet after persistent search. Any clues maybe? (*) Q6600 @ 3Ghz, 2G 1066 DDR2, 8800GT 512

omg! the truth revealed , the ships are fake!

i just had a peek at the FSX texture files , they are using DDS. You need to download a set of DDS file format support tools made by nvidia and they are basically photoshop (and paintshop too i think) plugins, i think to get you going. Modman also might be handy with its DDS explorer. Unfortunately i dont know anything more right now, googling about DDS file format tools, nvidia, FSX textures, i am pretty sure will yield the necessary info sooner or later. Sorry dont have now the download links either :( (i think latest modman could be downloaded from lockonfiles.com)

Craig seeing how many fans TW has from Europe, and that EF2000 is probably the last freshly produced high performance air superiority fighter with a straight forward classic jet shape and look (rather than a stealth sci-fi futuristic design), I have good reasons to suspect that your offspring's popularity will be up ballistic :D Not to mention it probably has been long awaited by many and the quality of it as seen on the screenies

i just realised that the clouds are using gradual transparency with viewer distance ..... is that based on something that could be used maybe on trees too? *ignorance look*
