Hi, simonmiller416, Thank you for sharing this excellent mod. I would like to ask whether it would be possible in a future update of the J-10C/CE to separate the middle pylon under each wing into 2 meshes, a parent mesh with just the pylon and the missile launch rail as a "child" mesh attached to the pylon. This would allow us to load different types of weapons properly. For example a bomb or a rocket pod do not require the missile launch rail. The same goes for the option when dual missile rails are loaded on the pylon. I have no experience with 3d modelling, so I could not tell whether that would be hard or easy to do. I apologize if my suggestion (it is not a request, just a suggestion) is inappropriate. Best Regards, Svetlin -
Great stuff, thank you!

Strike Fighters 2 Screenshots Thread
Svetlin replied to Wrench's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
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

Best wishes for speedy recovery, mate, my positive thoughts will be with you.

What If Screenshot Thread.......

... and a major intrusion into Tovarishch Tupolev's territory. I bet he would not be too happy with that, just as he was not with the Sukhoi T-4 An attempt at an upgraded IAF Kfir TC7...

Thanks, but how odd, really... There must be a practical reason for this "upside down" thing, but I just cannot think of any good one right now. Oh, well, that will be an interesting detail for Ravenclaw to replicate in his models

I 've noticed something both odd and curious, to me at least. The pictures of the missiles, loaded on the F-106 show these with the technical texts/stencils upside down. When the missiles are kept in the storage containers, or displayed, the technical texts are shown in the proper direction to be read, so the attachment mechanism must be on the bottom side, when the missile is not loaded. That would require the missile to be rotated 180 degrees before loading. Isn't that odd? Why would it be so complicated I wonder? A missile that weighs some 68-70 kg to be rotated 180 degrees probably by hand during the loading procedure does not look quite practical and time-efficient.

Here is the thing in extended position. The conical tip with slightly bigger diameter than the probe that extends from the nose cone is easily visible. I was going to question whether the warhead was activated by strong direct hit only, or being a radar-guided missile there was some proximity fuse as well, but it seems Nightshade/PR gave the answer above. By the looks of it, the probe was kept retracted and extended once the missile was launched. I suppose the picture below shows inert missiles, which could explain the probe being extended for the picture.

Posing for a photo... Loving the AV-8B Plus, so many fine details, and would love the TAV-8B too, if/once it is released.

Stock F-14A question
Svetlin replied to amariani's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
They are operational, but not independently, only as part of the swing-wing animation. At high speed and high altitude these do extend: I suppose to change the way these operate, one needs to fiddle with the swing-wing settings.

Mirage F-1C-200
Svetlin replied to ludo.m54's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Mods & Skinning Discussion
Hi ludo.m54, do you consider releasing a Mirage F1BE(M) as well? -
Yes, that would be great too, especially if the TMF Mirage 2000 single-seater model is accessible for the D/B variants to be created from it, similarly to what has been done with the TMF Mirage F1 model.
