  1. as far as I know, all with proper kit installed - Rüstsätze (R)
  2. Isn't that F-2 and F-4 had kits (Rüstsätze) So on F-4 and F-2 R1 - ETC500/IXb for 250kg bomb R2 - 4x ETC50/VIId for 4 - 50kg bombs R3 - kit for an extra 300dm3 fuel tank R7 - 2x MG 151/20 (20mm guns under wings) R8 - photo camera Rb75/30 or Rb50/30.. Generally F-4 had engine - DB601E with VDM 9-1201A propeler and MG151/20. (and 7.92 machineguns). New shape charger intakes and extra protection for the pilot. F-2 had MG151/15 and DB601N engine.
  3. Gepard's dedication to terrain is remarkable....Does it mean we* are going to invade the US at some point? * this side-of-the-pond players
  4. Try to download Grippens from "The Scandinavian Front" mod by JonathanRL. And compare data.ini.
  5. But beware that many "free models" (examples are on Sketchfab) are rips from games. So it is really good to explore origins of the model. Though...on Sketchfab, many ripped models are described as ripped, so it is really easy to figure out... If i may suggest ... that before purchasing model, contact 3d guy - if he/she has time...and let him/her figure out whether the model you are proposing will fit SF2 standards.
  6. I checked what I was given from that unfinished bundle..Mostly Japanese blast. Around 24 different aircraft models..plus some Royal aircraft. In different states of progress. Never had many chances to look into everything. One day.
  7. 1971. CVW-15, USS Coral Sea.
  8. One thing...Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations of modding in the WWII era...made me not step through that door... Yes, I have a small build of a WWII-era game, but it is really small...If I go there...I will lose myself. I think. But I can say...that yes, I started Allison Mustang (it is a good base for more....but mine already has airbrakes...) - because I love Mustangs. And Kate...just because a friend sent me some unfinished files....(mostly rising sun theme) Yes I know that this might not see an end soon, but If I got distracted..I tend to do things...from different buckets. Usually after reading a book, watching a movie, or something... between 10$ to 300$ depends. Sometimes, for our needs, we can have a simpler one. The thing is, many models still need some 3d work to meet SF2 game requirements. And some 3d modders here will go into full frenzy mode to score every possible variant...If there were many. Also, some modders here will still want to correct this and that - as many models from "shops" have some mistakes/mixed parts from a few variants. My heart is always beating faster when you guys talk about new models....
  9. Wrench...I would build any plane for you and for all the guys here.....but time is an artificial construct that runs our lives in an unpredictable way. I hope one day we have some more possibilities for this old game....Or perhaps we should cooperate with other game modders and try to barter some assets.
  10. I understand but it does not mean that hitboxes can be somehow adjusted to at least cover crucial areas of wing or fuselage....If you check my second picture - it is visible that I shortened the nose hitbox - lowering the box above the nose in front of the canopy - nearly 2 meters long empty box and now it is shorter, as this is just an air duct, so in the front part there is not much "important stuff" So my aproach is - to fit hitboxes into crucial areas - that realy can cause damage... And yes hitboxes can only be defined as rectangular shapes - that is why I personally try to fit squares as much as possible to the shape of an aircraft without much empty area.
  11. Go for it. But i would suggest a light approach. Look at that A6M2....wings hit boxes of wings? too thick in my opinion. Fuselage...covering too much empty area. Stabs - too thick. I noticed that many hitboxes, especially in swept-wing airframes, cover like 60% of empty area...well then you wonder why I am falling down?..- your evil red side AI just hit your empty hitbox... So try to find balance in that work, if you decide to go for it. Here is TW F-100 with stock hitboxes compare the HB of the stock nose....with my edit below....stock covers huge area of thin air in front of the cockpit.... and my edits....which - I still have a feeling that are too large....
  12. Aww... that is a blow, way below. Thank you.
  13. Me, for example, I am not annoyed. Actually, I am happy that all my mods -> those countless hours since 2013- are quite safe...stored somewhere in the pantry of one absolutely generous guy. Thanks to that, all mods are still free here. Can you point out which mod is behind the paywall? And there ...maybe moders should pay for servers, so all free users could download for free. This is fair, right? And you are not new here; I can see. Believe me, single aircraft mods are a much better choice. All modders are really putting their whole heart into one object... And you can see and feel it when playing...check Greek F-5 mods...You will know why. Aren't we all calm these days?
