I've seen a series about the MKI pilots, and the level of training is on par with US training, so to say that a MIG-21 could splash a SuperBug is just semantics, without looking at the capabilities. SuperBug: Newer, more reliable, and can carry a higher amount of weapons, vs. the MIG-21-93s, even with R-77s, can carry only two. The SH can carry up to twelve AMRAAMs. It can just do more, and far more maneuverable, and has improved close combat capabilities with the newer AIM-9X and JHMCS. The MIG just doesn't have the cockpit visibility, even when going up against the E SH. MIG-21-93: It's great because it's updated with Israeli electronics from Elbit, as well as other countries. That's it, it's updated. The concept has been around since the beginning of the Cold War. Even with wing tanks, the operational range is shorter, and the radar isn't on par with the Super Hornets. As said, it's old and still around because nobody can probably afford something like, the Gripen.

I'd have to say, that the textures on these are just, smooth.

If there's one thing I'll hate, is that efficiency was lost on the mapping. I'm trying for a currently deployed skin, so naturally, dirt and all that crap is supposed to be on it, but after an hour and a half, this is what I settled on for the nose area. The FM, modelling is of course great, but this is where it falls short, review enroute:

Started on some weathering: And Panel line touchup:

So I'm guessing no word yet on the XL?

Some more stuff. Been busy with RL and other stuff, so it's slowly being worked on. I plan to "reset" some of the weathering (which I have already), but the main annoyance is the area on the upper nose. Whether that pans out I'm not sure, but I'm not too thrilled about it myself.

Checking in.

Started to redo some lines:

Yes

Touchup work:

Nah man, haven't heard squat. I think he's bogged down, so it's best to wait. Though this thing gets you kinda hooked. For some real fun, take it in Norway, the Alps, and the Caucauscus... I'm going to try Afghanistan sometime but right now I'm finishing up traversing the Alps..

Got around to working on it some more. After some experiments, fixed the intake textures (with help from another repaint):

If I PM you my email, could you just email it to me? I use Hotmail and Yahoo, so....

You going to be nice enough and release a PSD Template?

Cool beans man

Yeah I've seen that, but the D model I've liked better than the A model :)

Thanks, it's pretty fun to fly, and unfortunately that's about all you can do. But again it's great in the mountains :)

After a bit, I've decided to try and redo the "default" skin that comes with the Team KBT F/A-18F Super Hornet Note the weathering is all WIP though....

damn straight it is, been looking for one :)

Actually I saw that in the Aircraft.cfg file and gotta work it some more. Besides, it turns out I had my jet on full afterburner the whole time. Now that I figured some more stuff out, I'm getting better mileage :)
