Honestly the plane is good to go, just waiting on the ATFLIR model (I'm using the AV-23-R in it's place for now). Once that's skinned and detailed, as well as the buddy pod, I hope by the end of the week at least for the E model. The F and G will be after of course.

http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=5717 It's always a goody, perhaps my favorite one.

String of updates, JAT81500 has done some phenomenal work, with the compression of the gear, light settings, and a prototype decal of VFA-143. I had thought FC came up with a "damage model" but also is included when I got bounced by a Flanker over Iraq. Also added feature that JAT81500 caught was the "toeing" of the rudders before takeoff, characteristic of the Hornet line.

Danke Crab_02, das war super references! (I truly hope I didn't butcher that up...)

It's so righteous, only the fact that game engine limitations don't allow us to have the fun with that plane as much as we'd like.

Roving in the Sands

Ahh okay, shadowing with textures... yes I was contemplating that, and the FSX Super Bug uses that quite alot to good effect. I'll experiment with it though, as I know under the LERX where the intakes stick out is a good spot.

Do what?

More work.

Yeah man, I cleared the bird hot after he got removed... Anyways, I downloaded it and so far the selection of aircraft definitely is nice. But it's hard to discount any mod due to game limitations. Every mod is a compromise between what you can do, and what you can't, so I definitely like it.

Okay what specific issues do you have regarding the Hornet? It's fast, maneuverable... I don't know what you're looking for Stratos really. As far as the Pig... I would (I use the A version mostly) set your gunsight to ground attack mode and use the bottom of the sight as the "bottom" of your aircraft (works well for most Russian aircraft too). I fly routinely like that and no issues. Unfortunately NVGs aren't modelled so not to be rude, but you're gonna have to turn up the brightness of your monitor But here's something rough to get the ball rolling Stratos. I'd really like some input as there's a wide variety of topics to go over. Well I have some more but not sure if you want it specific. LLFWOX.zip

Started some general weathering and slimer "off" detail.

.

I'm using the A version, matter of fact I started it up last night. I got the peectures done, need to do the particular text for it.

So you want us to read the readme?

Fine I'll "expose" the eels and lazercats. It's just something to lighten up the mood here that's all. We can get pretty serious and some of us (USAFBLT is a complete slacker I tell you ) do need a good laugh every once in awhile. I've been in pretty crappy moods and sometimes a B-52 looking EEL is just something that makes your day. As for pods.... you may have to muck with the nations. Pylons accept NATO, WP, SOVIET, USAF, USN, etc. so you are going to have to check some nations or look in the _Data.ini (not aircraftdata.ini) or adjust times. I'd recommend using the Weapons Editor, as somethings you can't figure out on Notepad.

Nice one Brain32, "lolcat" I can haz skin!

I was going to say VX-9 myself, but as said, was contemplating eels..... And no problem, and thank you!

Sometimes using a car to check out a new apartment is so passe..

FC managed to get the slimers working. Tried my hand at gear compression with some tips from Fubar512, and well.... I'd rather play with an eel in a bathtub, it's more relieving, and quite shocking..... So FC made it clear it wasn't the greatest thing to do, and he was right, it wasn't. JAT81500 submitted one, but it's not the right version, so I'll wait for that. And it is an animation, not linked to the lights.

Wrench's SoCal terrain and F-111A, priceless

I did too, got shot up in San Filipe, but Wrench,.... amazing work man, MUCH better than the original! :good:

One thing that was bugging the crap out of me was it's "clean". Also more gear detail. Looking for contributors for gear bay textures if anybody is feeling generous.

Just nice, DEFINITELY an improvement over the old one, skimming the mountains is just... great.

On the left side of the HUD is the "meatball" as echoed in the cockpit. That's realistically and small garnishings such as an accurate weapons status panel below the HUD.
