No, in fact over the course of years of studying many different F-8 sources, I have never seen a single picture of the rocket tray in the deployed position. I am sure that some pics exist, but they are certainly among the rarest military aviation artifacts. Keep in mind also that the pack was discontinued from the F-8C onward, so not many planes were built with it. And it was never used by the Navy, even in training.

The F-86D/L have the feature and demonstrate the effectiveness of unguided rockets as A2A weapons (useless).

The linear bomb bay was the method of nuclear weapons delivery employed by the A-5A. Fortunately it was never used in anger, but it was the method pilots were trained to use. It was filled with a fuel tank on the RA-5C. On the other hand, the rocket pack on the F-8 was never used, trained with, or included in F-8 operational doctrine. So there is a pretty significant difference.

No, we decided against that.

Vought aicraft by Mirage Factory:

We are still working on loadouts, so I'm not sure how this will be handled.

Couple of high-res shots below. We have taken Pedro's original model and brought it up to current high-def standards. The model itself has many refinements, notably in the area of the nose and intake. The plane is completely remapped, and the skins are ~95% new (some of Volk's original details were too good not to reuse). The flight models will be tweaked, and avionics and instrumentation have been reviewed and fixed where necessary. The first wave will include the F-8D, F-8E and F-8E(FN).

Oui!

:yes:

I can't think of a reason why the canopy animation would have been removed. Its based on TK's F-4 that was leaked.

As I said don't try to set it up as a highlift device. Use the manually-activated animation feature.

The F-14. It was not the best fighter ever built, but its combination of performance and technology perfectly represents a time when the USA was still strong.

Always sleep with flashing AH for teh win!

Hopefully the charge will be attempted first degree murder. Heavier sentence for that.

Seems that a negative trend is developing in the modding community. http://www.column5.us/dark.htm I'd enjoy hearing other people's opinion on this matter.

Cool because I just wanted to say that any eel that leaps out of a dress at me is going to get the filleting knife.

This is a long-lasting can of eels... ;)

It would be awesome to have a near-future merc campaign with jets painted in retro colors like that!

A winnar is yuo!

Uhm...there is a difference between stereotypes and things that actually define particular cultures. We aren't all the same, and contrary to what multiculturalists teach some cultures are truly better than others. "Islamic" culture, if you'll accept that there is such a thing, is truly violent, repressive of women, and stuck in a time long past. Objectively speaking, Canadian culture and society (just as an example) is more highly evolved, more compassionate--better, if you will--than say the islamic cultures in Saudi Arabia or Afghanistan. Doesn't mean that any individual Canadian is better than a given individual Saudi, but one culture is undeniably superior. So, we can have fun laughing at stereotypes of the South and of Scotland, or we can acknoledge that we are in the process of being threatened by a vicious, barbaric, dysfunctional culture driven by an out of control religion. Just my opinion of course.

Possibly. Does it look like it was done with one of those fat crayons from kindergarten?

I think the consensus is that its ok to upload skins without asking for permission. Just mention the author of the original skin in your readme if you based yours heavily on someone else's.

Don't use highlift device. Just set it up as an animation.

Update DirectX to the latest version and you should be good to go.
