Ahh, I figure the only way for it to work is to keep it on the side or do some creative moving around to get it right.

Well you can only do so much , what does it look like?

View File VF-111 "Miss Molly" Skin for the Convair 201 Another one taken from the F-14 textures I have, applied to the Convair 201 Drop in the Convair 201 folder and go fly. Eric Johnson, 2012 Submitter Flanker562 Submitted 06/27/2012 Category What If Skins  

Weapons testing

I manually enter values in the Default.ini and that's worked so far for me.

Latest work, I think I'm done...

Me: F-14B with Ceasar beta FM and 4 x AIM-9M, gun Opposition: Convair 201 with AIM-9, gun This was actually prior to the above fight, but I like to see what I can do. Started off as above and once committed to the fight I found myself flying around a little aimlessly (still a newbie with the Turkey) but after trying to go high (a maneuver designed to outclimb the opposition through an Aerolog film) I rolled over as best as I could and managed to finally after some trying, managed to get in a decent position. After remembering what Caesar does I dropped flaps and it helped greatly in getting my nose on him. After a bit he was crossing my HUD so I took a shot and after missing the Convair leveled out slightly and then I took a second shot, downing it. Takeaways: With the beta FM my confidence is getting better with the bird and gives the Tomcat a more feel and what (I guess is to be expected) from the jet. Not exactly Top Gun but it's getting closer to what I've seen, check it out sometime though, very good idea as a workaround to the old MF flight model.

Me: Convair 201 with 4 x AIM-9L and gun Opposition: MF F-14B with Caesar beta FM, some kind of missiles, I know AIM09 for sure... Due to some mission editing, my DACT has turned into a "Speed and Angels" setup (as from the movie) with him off to my starboard at a disadvantage, not much anyway. After turning into the Turkey I managed to end up in a long and drawn out energy circle, with none of us giving up. After a minute or two I did what I knew is never a good idea people, reversing into the bandit. Remember it has computer reflexes but as soon as I got a good tone I fired, and he fired, crossing my shot (second image), after that the Turkey was defensive and after leading I took another shot, exploding the canopy and downing the bird. Takeaways: This perhaps my third or so time flying the 201 and overall it is a good plane, the canards help bring the nose up quickly but you have to remember the engine doesn't give much push so you'll bleed airspeed rather quick. So to work the bird you have to just keep your energy up. However, it is a good fighter just needs a better engine (probably one of the reasons it didn't make it).

Scramble! And about time on the MICAs ravenclaw...

Awesome work...

And a little tweaking...

And while Brain32 is chugging on the cockpit, adapted the "Miss Molly" texture work from the F-14:

On patrol in Afghanistan, 2002

And putting the Convair 201 through it's paces on the small range in Scal

And just a note, the A2G pipper should be where the A2A pipper is located, the current pipper is way too high for A2G work.

View File VF-31 TPS skin for Julhelm's Convair 201 Just had some inspiration and decided to make a TPS skin for the aircraft. Simply drop in your aicraft folder and go fly. Eric Johnson, 2012 Submitter Flanker562 Submitted 06/25/2012 Category What If Skins  

Testing the new FM beta from Caesar:

And for the droptank texture, just drop it in the appropriate folder as well?

Note that the aviocnics symbology is coming straight from the NATOPS so there shouldn't be a need for an additional avionics update, but we're not perfect either

Much better, I'd suggest adding this to the Super Pack, first time in the Tomcat and felt like I was flying it like I've seen it.

Just finishing up something I was working on today:

Thanks!
