It's getting to the stage that there are those in the community that are taking it for granted there will always be a steady trickle of mod add-ons to the 3rdW sim series regardless of their behaviour. Seriously, some of the mods coming out of the Mirage Factory are better than any of the aircraft released by sim companies themselves. But the kicker is they get thanked by bitching and moaning. That may seem harsh, but in a lot of cases, its the scenario Jules and Dave illustrated, either someone will try and find something to slur the thing, or it'll be the classic whine with no hint of method of improvement. Before people kick off, it's not just implied about this instance, this has gone on for bloody ages, since all the original moaners came in to tell the SF fans the sim would never last. Christ, to think people give up their time to try and better the game for the many masses out there. Can see why a lot have left already.

I apologise, I was just teasing you, the MiG-29 is from USAF: Air Dominance, the promotional USAF sim that TK helped to create. Read more here... http://www.criticalmassinteractive.com/htm/USAF.htm

Really?

I would if you were really there

WIP

There are only a few currently flying P-38's around the world. If this P-38 found on Gwynedd beach gets restored, it'll make a fourth, which could also be joined by a fifth in the future.

Many happy returns mate!

There will be at least 2 versions of the bear released.

I found this sim by total accident back in 2003. I went into my local gamestation with a fiver in my pocket and saw SFP1 on the shelf for 3 pound. I grabbed it there and then, rushed home and booted it up. It was my first real flight sim and I've never really played any others. I flew the sim for about a year un-modded and then in 2004 started to get into the 3rd party mods that were available. I distinctly remember the P-51, Monty's B-29, a lot of the high viz F-100D skins by JSF_aggie and Mike's B-52G. Only after I actually got the sim, I realised that I had earlier bought an Aircraft Illustrated magazine which had a review of SF...

May the poor guy rest in peace. I was up ar Marham a few years ago doing some work experience with IX Squadron, certainly is a great base.

Zur, I know that you can have slimers built as meshes that are able to be turned on and off, I just don't know how to model it. But take a peek at wpnssgt's A-10, cos he had them to work like that.

Sundowner did it a different way from the slimers as meshes, he positioned a bloody tonne of singular lights in the data.ini file into blocks around the aircraft. I'm trying to do that with the stock A-10. I would whole heartedly recommend the slimer mesh method any day.

Awesome mate! Cheers UV mapping is all I needed to do skins, but templates are a bonus

Looking great Fracture! It's a fun bird to zoom around in Would you consider releasing the UV mapping for it?

This is not a work around problem, and only really works if you have all 16 people flying in a session, but move the start points near airbases of your choosing, that way you can all quickly land, taxi and then take off when you choose. Like I say, not a solution, but perhaps a option.

Beautiful, just beautiful, you brought a tear to my eye mate.

Blood, sweat and tears. Seriously though, like Atreides says, 3DS max and either Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro or The Gimp will certainly get you a far way into building your own aircraft, mapping them and then skinning them. Be prepared for a long haul though, it can take a while depending on the complexity of the aircraft you may wish to build. In this case, the B-2 Spirit could be deceptively difficult. Although looking like a fairly simple airframe, I imagine trying to get the curve and flow of the fuselage just right would take a while. It could be worth trying to start off building very simple, low poly objects and airframes. In actual fact, building weapons starting off is a great stepping stone, they are more simple than aircraft and turn out to be a much smaller work load. Once you're all modelled up with your aircraft comes the importing stage. This will include optionally building a correct pit for the bird and doing all the necessary ini creating to ensure your aircraft behaves and operates correctly in the game. Have a look at TK's exporter notes and mustang's 3d modelling tutorials, they are goldust to any new modeller.

Wow, we're going back to primate stages it would appear. And what the f*ck was the racket played on the video? Sounded like a commodore farting.

No problem bud, trying to find you a pic of that hud now.

EDIT: Re-post, delete

Here's some cockpit shots mate... http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.sear...ine_version=6.0 As for the armoured glove, is this okay, or do you need a closer, more detailed pic? http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0457433/L/ Lastly Craig, here's a few walkarounds that may help you perhaps... http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/bartolom...r_2000_typhoon/ http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/zoltan_p...ighter_typhoon/ http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/mario_bertinelli/ef2000/

try this for some British jets BUFF... http://www.everettaero.com/

Craig, make sure you check out this mate, its a photography section over at the Cottesmore forum, got a tonne of typhoon pics... http://cottesmore-ag.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=9

and was the loudest fighter the RAF has ever had.
