That's exactly what I meant :)

Take a lesson from marcelo, take your time and get it perfect.

Speaking of Avionics....any explanation of the HUD symbology?

Fly it more. Shooting at it isn't a good idea, this thing is a beast. and too good looking to see in flames( better it than my tomkitty though!) Took her out for some acrobatics. Damn! Things just got a whole lot more dangerous for NATO in SF. Let the skinning begin!

With TrackIR, clickable cockpits just don't work right. I've tried to do it in FS9/X and between having to move the mouse to a specific tiny spot on screen, and trackir moving the screen with my head, it's easier to simply press a button on te keyboard.

You may be able to find an educational license for much much less. Mine is about $200 annually, can't sell anything you make though( freeware models ).

Not. It's another one of wpnssgts works. Skinning, Adobe photoshop, Paintshop Pro or freely available, The Gimp. All excellent bitmap based image editing programs.

Do you have 3500 dollars for 3dsmax and a year to learn how to use it? That's typically what it takes. You can try in gmax, which is free, but it's missing so many useful tools of 3ds, and I still cannot get a model into max properly from gmax, despite all the right tools and procedures. IMHO, I can accept the limitations of the sim and manual thrust vectoring and stealth(didn't we have an RCS parameter to make stealth aircraft for inis?) I talked to USAFBLT a while ago about finishing some of his stealth projects off for FA'07 that are absolute musts. I was hesitant to take over work on a source file from someone who wasn't around to directly give permission

I remember having that problem constantly. Go into the campaign data file and change the carrier type to a different one. That's the easiest way to do it. I eventually got the correct carrier working fiddling with god knows how many ini parameters.

Where's the B-2 model? If nobody else is, I would like to work on it.

Tried it a hundred times. The X file middleman and mdl commander produce never work with the X importer for 3ds for me, completely put the breaks on Hawk 75 I was doing for CFS.

Both the 29 and 31 are on my to-do list, since it looks like nobody else has plans to make them AFAIK. Fubar? any news on the raptor?

Buying a model off of turbosquid and making the necessary modifications is a far better idea than sending jsf aggie to leavenworth.

Would diagrams with cross sections of the fuselage and wings be something he could give us? Nothing about components, just the body shape to model it accurately. I was going to start work on porting a JSF from a source model on turbosquid, since I haven't found good enough resources to build one from scratch, to an accurate enough representation to avoid taking tons of flak from whiners. I'll be showing my progress on something pretty that I've been working on soon that should make a nice adversary ;) Oh, it'll be a good plane, but it could never fill the A-10's job. Low and slow tank busting isn't exactly what you'd want to do with a brand new stealth fighter.

nobodies giving up on this game. You could ask around in the FS community if anyone is willing to send a source file. The problem with FS planes is alot of them are made in either gmax or FSDS. Neither are friendly towards getting a file into 3dsmax, which is what's needed for SF.

Ultra-light? And why would a plane that should be able to take off from short stretches of highway need an arrestor hook for a giant-ass floating full length runway? Any new screens Gux?

Well any human vs AI matchup in SF is bound to have the same result regardless of aircraft unless there's a huge gap, like an F-15 vs a mig-15. Try taking that foxbat online against a real person in a tomcat!

RussoUK right?

They did it for vietnam, but not WOE yet.

The nation you're flying for probably has a different rank list.

Beautiful Grippen! Can I use it for my ATF/USNF campaign set?

Everything from each sim works in the other sims, just the right files have to be copied over. I merged everything into one huge strike fighters install. practically an entire hard drive. And yes it takes forever to load, but what do you expect with 30 gigs of mods and addons in one application? Missions don't take long though

I'd rather have SF's graphics AND framerate. Pretty good show, though I couldn't stand the advertisements for it.

Uh, you forgot the link. And the author of the WIP flanker is Marcfighter.

Who's working on an F-35 already? I've kept my eye open as I'm working towards a modern/future campaign set using it...It'd be nice to not have to make one less out of the two dozen or so planes that haven't been started by anyone.
