Is that an ordinary MiG-29UB or a different version? I can't recognize them very well. And here's the mandatory screenshot

I guess nobody noticed the Balloon Girl painting by Banksy in the background

Should it rather be named AS-38? JA means "Jakt, Attack" which means "Fighter, Attack". This one is based on Tonka GR.1 so I think that AS (Attack, Spaning - Attack, Recon) is more suitable to the aircraft's role.

Hello all! I've been searching for some solid information about the F-15X which is planned to replace older versions of F-15 in USAF and I encountered some press releases with contradictory information. My question may seem dumb but I'm going to ask it anyway: are they going to be one-seaters, two-seaters or a mix of both?

I counted 22 max, I still don't know where the additional 2 would go. Maybe 4 instead of 2 under the centerline?

I'm back with some fresh Japanese content. I may admit that the main inspiration to do this were recent Japan vs Russia scenarios presented by @JosefK So, here it is. The plain realistic gray skin with no special markings as it is used in the JASDF Rinji F-35A Hikotai. And a semi-fictional 302 Hikotai skin with a tail art similar to the one used on F-4EJ Kai Phantoms.

The KF2 Hammer is available in SF1 download section, you must adjust it to SF2 standards if you want it to be fully functional in SF2. The Soviet/Russian skins haven't been released, maybe I'll release my PAK-FA-style skins.

Inspired by @Spinners and his idea of Yak-75

Inspired by Spinners' Yak and one of the Su-57 real life skins.

I don't understand one thing. Would it be possible to switch between the front and back seat? If yes, then how would it be possible? I can see that you are posting screens from both pilot's and WSO's point of view.

Weapons Panck 3 is still a WIP, it will be released when ready. You can download the previous version (WP2) here: https://combatace.com/files/file/13929-weapons-pack-2/

View File SF2 USAF F-35 redux Here's my rework of the original SF2 F-35A from FastCargo's F-35A/B/C Lightning II V 2.5 for SF2 pack. It includes USAF F-35A only, so there are no B/C or foreign operators versions (maybe I'll do them in the future). This pack was created and tested with full 5 merged install of SF2 with latest patch. My main objective was to make this aircraft more reallistic by reworking the skins (RAM coatings, panel lines etc.), loadouts and other minor .ini changes. The afterburner is changed to the Viper Burner by The Viper Team and the pilot is changed to the one with JHMCS. Following squadrons are included: 4th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 31st TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL 34th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 58th FS, 33d OG, Eglin AFB, FL 61st FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 62d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 63d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 422d TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL All aircraft numbers are real and come from this site: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-35/serials-and-inventory/airforce/USAF/ The default loadouts are all-internal. Presets with external stores are also included to use with in-game mission editor. Most weapons come from Ravenclaw's Weapons Pack 2. Loadouts do not include external fuel tanks as they are not used in real life. Reworked skin template based on DoctorWho's template is included. It is suitable for F-35A only. Feel free to create new skins, give me credit when publishing. Installation: Firstly, if you are new to SF2, please head to The Knowledge base and read about Mod Folders and installing mods. It is highly recommended to delete your previous version of F-35A from your Aircraft folder. After doing this, copy all the content of "To Mods Folder" folder to your mod folder. Overwrite when asked.

I've finished all the USAF squadrons skins except for 461st FLTS as a purely test unit. I used the serial number database to recreate all the serial numbers used by each unit (available here: http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-35/serials-and-inventory/). 4th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 31st TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL 34th FS, 388th FW, Hill AFB, UT 58th FS, 33d OG, Eglin AFB, FL 61st FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 62d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 63d FS, 56th OG, Luke AFB, AZ 422d TES, 53d TEG, Eglin AFB, FL I've also fixed some details. I only need to do some .ini tweaking including loadouts and the pack will be ready for release.

Why not Here's the realistic 140th SQN skin (currently the only operational F-35 squadron in the IDF): and a fictional one with tail art similar to the one on F-16s of 140th SQN:

And here it is finally. I am not going to release it until I'm finished with all F-35A USAF squadrons.

I've almost finished the basic skin. I won't mess around with bump/specular maps because AFAIK one needs to add them to the 3D model .max file and I have no access to the model itself. Correct me if I'm wrong here. I would like to ask whether anyone with experience in FM tweaks could help with fixing the Lightning's flight model. For me, it's slightly too slow and "bulky" without the afterburner.

There is a possible workaround. Hardpoint models can be added as pilot seats with "fakepilots" without editing the original 3D model.

I'd like to present some early effects of my fork, let me know what you think. So far, I've only redone the top side of the fuselage. Before: and after:

Don't get me wrong. I'm only working on the skin with more accurate details. I'm not working on the 3D model update because I don't have the files and I am not a 3D guy in any way so don't expect to have a totally new version of this plane unless someone else decides to make it. The F-35 is available here on CA, you can have fun with it and even load it with SDBs.

Well, maybe I'll try. First I need to learn something more about BM/SM.
