The new F-104 mods by yakarov79 have the Orpheus pod built into the aircraft model and this way the camera lids on the pod are animated - these open and close together with the landing gear retracting and extending respectively. So the "new" Orpheus pod is specific to the yakarov79 F-104s. The model is naturally much more detailed and with high-res skin. I love it...

Have you tesed with a different load on the center station? For example with a single bomb, say Mk.83?

Great news, GKABS!!! That made my day, honestly.

Hi Ravenclaw, thank you for the hard work on the cockpits. Simply stunning job there. I have noticed, that the F-4F_80 cockpit comes with an updated aircraft data.ini file, but the loadout.ini file, which comes with the F-4F_80 mod does not match the updated data.ini. For example, the Sidewinder stations in the updated aircraft data.ini file take StationID from 13 to 16, while in the loadout.ini file these are from 10 to 13. Fixing this is pretty easy, hopefully everyone could do on their own, so just thought I should let you know.

It's not АП ВКЛФЧ but АП ВКЛЮЧ. I am not sure but it could stand for автоматическо повторное включение, which in English would sound like automatic restart.

I myself would prefer 2 separate aircraft, if that is OK with you.

If I may, I would say the centerline drop tank needs a major revision as the shape is close to what it should be, but not quite there. https://nationalsecurityjournal.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/J-10.jpg The shape should be much more pointy at the back and the fins should be a bit smaller so that they did not extend beyond the diameter of the tank. If you could fix the shape, that would great, I think.

Hi, there is one more thing to fix with the next update, hope you would not mind. The aircraft data.ini file refers to files AL-31F.wav for the main engine sound and AL-31F-AB.wav for the afterburner sound. These files however are missing in the Sounds folder and in there we have WS10B_0.wav for the main engine sound and WS10B_AB.wav for the afterburner sound. Since to my knowledge the J-10C is powered by the WS-10B engine, I would rather fix the aircraft data.ini file than add the AL-31F related sounds: [Sound] EngineSoundName=WS10B_0 AfterburnerSoundName=WS10B_AB StallSoundName=Stall_PLA DamagedEngineSoundName=PlaneFire BreathingSoundName=Breathing FlapsSoundName=Flaps AirbrakesSoundName=Airbrakes GearsSoundName=Gear LandSoundName=TireTouch

Hi simonmiller416, The folder for the 23MM_Type23-3 gun with ini files in it are missing in the pack and so the built-in gun of the J-10 does not work. Could you please share it? Thank you!

Looking at photos of the real J-10C, I could not help noticing that the wing drop tanks are nearly if not exact copy of the French RPL-501/502 1700-ltr drop tank. So, I could not resist replacing the J-10C wing drop tanks with the actual RPL-501/502. I was satisfied with the result, so went further to replace the center line drop tank with the RPL-522 (I know it is different, but it fits) and even test fitted the RPL-541/542 drop tank. Looks good to me... Just need to correct the colour a bit - it is too dark at the moment, I think.

Cool birds of the Swiss Air Force. The Hunter did not work for me out of the box, so I had some fun fiddling with it.

Well, that is an example of following the user-friendly-system approach to where a system is designed according to the potential users. Here in our country it used to be and possibly still is the other way round - the system-friendly-user approach is more popular to where a system is created or adopted and then one starts looking for users that fit And that applies to many different aspects of life, not just about T-72 tanks
