Nah, it's no good. I get an unable to connect everytime I try to download them...

Hey! A sandgroper! You mean like this? ...nah Just got a couple of issues to sort out with it, then I'll post it. Unless Kei Nagase beats me to it!

My appologies if there's a stupid ad before this one. Not much happens for the first 30 seconds, but after... I laughed my ass off! Here's the link: http://www.spikedhumor.com/Article.aspx?id=83664 I wouldn't know whether I'd laugh while I was bolting, or whether I'd just crap myself...

View File Desert Flanker Skin This is a mod of the Marcfighters whitenose Flanker skin to resemble a desert scheme, similar to the Ace Combat Desert Flanker schemes. It has the added bonus of blending into the Parani desert nicely too. <img src="http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/dufusboy/DCFlanker.jpg" border="0" class="linked-image" /> All the hard work was done by the Marcfighters crew, I just "tweaked" it Submitter SayethWhaaaa Submitted 02/16/2007 Category Fictional/What If Skins  

I only came across this article the other day even though it happened a while ago and it blew me away, especially the photos! Did anyone see this or am I the only one to miss it?? : Here's the link: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml.../napache122.xml It's about some Ballsy poms going back on an ad hoc CSAR run to pick up their fallen comrade. All I'm saying is that I'd like to have mates like that after a night at the pub... *Mental Note* Not going to pick on ANY UK soldiers ever again... EVER! Think I owe a mate an appology for a bit of occasional ribbing...

I can't remember exactly but I'm positive the VVS is looking to use the augmented 2nd/3rd gen Phazotron Phased array. But I can't find the source, so don't take it as though its set in stone. Plus, depending on what missiles are used on the fuselage hardpoints, up to six can be carried: This is a snap of a Mig-31M with the newer R-37s

Well, yeah... but I'm not that good in 5 mins :) Been looking to do a couple of mobius skins, particularly the Blue F-4E but it's just having time to do it. Either way, I just wanted to beat Kei Nagase at releasing another Ace Combat skin.

That'd be for SF/WoV/WoE. Sweet ride, innit?

I made this about 30 seconds after I downloaded the Flanker: It's not complete yet but I think it's reasonably accurate at the moment. Still have a few things to do to it. I don't have any Erusian Decals though...

Nah, it's all good now, cheers guys. Also, I was gonna send it Portuguese too but you know babelfish...

Where else can I grab the F.3? I think the link maybe broken (at least for me)...

I love this series, but i thought the dialogue in "Unsung" was REALLY cheesy... By the way, I just want to go on the regimental record in saying that I was totally stoked when that dufus "PJ" bought the farm in Ace Combat Zero! I know he was supposed to be your wingman and all, but he is completely annoying! I tried shooting him down, I'd bolt from the furball so he'd have to deal with the wraith of the Belkans... to no avail. But when he takes that missile in the face from Pixy right at the end, I was cheering!

Shoot... I forgot about sundowner, and Wpssgt too for that matter, given that sarge's been nice enough to let me mod his stuff before And there was some other guy, think he was in the USAF... He wasn't bad either. Can't remember his name... Well, Marco's a champ anyways simply because he's now provided me with the platform that's gonna your butt outta the sky Mr.USAFMTL sir, uh... you know... until that stealthy Rolls Royce thingo takes off, after which I'm kinda screwed :black eye: But back on topic though, the email from Marcfighters is still active, yeah?

Just looking to get in contact with Marcelo Silva, the absolute champion of skinning and other cool stuff, if anyone could help, that's be really handy! I've tried the email address from the marcfighters site and either he's really busy, or it's not active...

No, you ain;t crazy The Russians did use Mig-25Us for a while to train up Foxhound crews. But when the Foxbats were withdrawn from service, Lead In Fighter Training (LIFT) duties were transferred to pther aircraft, Su-27UBs, Yak-130s(?) and other aircraft including a small contingent of Mig-31s. The Foxbat did hace very similar flight characteristics (after all, the 31 was developed from the 25), so it made an obvious choice to use as a LIFT.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! Man, I had a day off work yesterday, I should have taken it today instead!! Alrighty, I've already got a couple of new skins made for this... just waiting for a reply...

Shin, the only problem with being able to accelerate from M1 to M4 quickly (or as quick as they do in the film) is that your bones and organs would be crushed to death under the G strain. You might reach Mach 4 in 30 seconds, but you'd be dead in 15 On the speed issuse, I've had aircraft cruising at Mach 3 after I've used the Alt+N trip skip thingo, but unless I slow down dramatically (and I mean making a vert tight turn to bleed speed, speedbrakes, the works) I'll burn up in under 20 seconds. Although when I trip skip when I RTB, I usually find my aircraft cruising back to base at Mach 2+ without any issues...

What ever happened to the wooden spoon? When growing up, my sister and I learned to fear and respect that wooden spoon! We hardly (if ever) got smacked with it, but the fear of doing something that would warrent the WS punishment was enough to keep us in line

Again, see the Works In Progress sticky. It gets updated, the info on whether, or whether not an aircraft is, or will be available will be in there. You also forgot to mention Firefox or the YF-19 and YF-21 from Macross Plus Gerald14 was also kind enough to make a model of the Su-47 Berkut, sadly, no-one has developed it :cray:

Sentou Yousei Yukikaze kicks ass, although, I never did quite get the ending. It was very... Neon Genesis-esque... I read an interview with the guy who wrote the Yukikaze books and the art director from the series and they both spoke about taking either existing designs, or unflyable designs and basing the aircraft in the show on those. Hence the double fuselage looking Sukhoi contraption, the Super Silth and the design Yukikaze transferred into in the second (third?) episode onwards. Personally, I liked those Japanese carrier jets, the Eurofighter looking things. It's a shame no one has tried building one. My 3dms skills are still kinda crappy...

Alrighty... two things that'll solve most of your questions. This link here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=16806 ...will give you info on just about every modern aircraft (give or take) and it's relation to SFP being either released, work in progress, or unavailable. Second, if you see there are aircraft you want to d-load, go straight to the downloads section at the top of the screen and look in the appropriate section (in this case the Thirdwire Series (SF/WOV/WOE/WWI) section). The add-on aircraft are divided into the appropriated eras Modern, Cold war, WW2 or WW1. Helicopters has it's own section. Now as for the other questions... (deep breathe ) 1. No VTOL for the Switchblade (F/A-37) as of yet, also no EDI 2. No V-22 thus far... 3. Pugachev's cobra isn't in the game as such, however, pulling your nose up in high alpha aircraft and inducing stall is one way of perfoming this move in the SFP series. 4.*Lavi <<------No, or at least if anyone's working on it, they haven't spoken up. It's a P.O.S. anyways IMHO *F-16I Soufa <<------------------ In downloads *F-15E Strike Eagle (with conformal tanks) <<------------------ In downloads *J-10(chinese copy of Lavi) <<------------------ Not a Lavi copy, W.I.P. last I heard *IDF fighter <<------------------ If that's the FC-1/17 might be in dev, not sure 5. There's a Su-27 in the works by Marcfighter and those lovely Frenchies@ CheckSix. Gonna take a while, but worth it!!!!! Su-30/35/37 may, i repeat, MAY come out after that. Don't hold your breathe though 6. Boeing's XF-32 has been put on hold indefinitely. Those they are developing it as an in-house project, but only in concept. 7. SuperHornet was born out of the A-12 Avenger/NATF fiasco. Originally designed as an improvement to earlier Hornets, it became a stop-gap to produce both air defence fighter and improved strike platform after the cancellation of the NATF (essentially a navalised F-22) and due to the realisation that the US navy's mud moving capabilities lagged behind the USAF during the Gulf War. With contractors not being able to produce a new platform before 2020, Boeing(or whoever it was at the time MDC?) proposed a larger, more capable version of the Hornet as an interim platform to replace the A-6/A-7 in ground pounding and the F-14D in the air defence roles. Despite the fact it is actually a new design that incorporates newer technologies, design philosophies including a limited degree of stealthing, it was sold to Congress as "improved model" and therefore a low risk design compared with tendering for new designs. It is essentially a larger and much improved F/A-18C/D but apparantly isn't quite as potent as the F-14D. It doesn't have AIM-54 capability, but the Tomcat had limited datalink cabability and no AESA, so the tradeoff was considered acceptable. It also fits into the USN/USAF doctrine of the "High/Low mix" with carriers embarking a combination of light and heavier fighters (just as the USAF uses the F-15/F-16 combination) Awwwww... Kazamashin! You beat me to the punch Contrary to popular opinion, I do actually get out of the house! So to the pub I go!

I dunno Dave, it might turn out to be a good plane, but many of the partner nations are getting screwed in the program at the moment even the UK, whose aircraft are supposed to have parity of importance with US copies being that they're a tier 1 partner. And the biggest problem with a "one type fits all" approach in the past has been that the aircraft in question can't fulfill the very specific roles required of it. The F-111 is our case in point. When you consider that the JSF is aimed at the following aircraft: A-10, F-16,F/A-18A-D, F-111, GR9/AV-8B Harriers, GR3 Jaguars, and maybe some of the older types of Tornado, it's got some big shoes to fill and in two cases (A-10 and F-111) would be impractical to do so. I think it'd make a great Viper/Hornet replacement but to replace all of these aircraft will make it a "Jack of all trades, master of none." Here's a link to some critical analysis with an Australian point of view (sorry, I tried looking for some more general links but all I found were links to bitching and backbiting with the standard "JSF sucks!" "No you suck for not liking JSF!" and the rest of that crap) http://www.ausairpower.net/jsf.html

There's nothing fake about it at all. It's the 2.0 Beta of the F/A-37 Talon from the stealth film. From what I hear, he's still working on it but, like most things, real life stuff is gets in the way from time to time. Both JSF and F-22 are works in progress and won't be out for a while. If you want to have a looksee at what is in the process of being developed. Southernap's been kind enough to tackle a regularly updated W.I.P. list which you can find here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=16806 Bear in mind that the lists are quite large and that the most up to date list will be at the bottom of the page. Just read the message from Southernap once you click the link and it should sort you out.
