Geary, my post was addressed to RAVEN and the pylons that he was going to create. He was thinking of adding them via fake pilot method, I offered an alternative.

Another possibility is to make the pylons weapons of 2IR launch rail type with a RackSpecificStationCode entry to limit them to appear only for the F-100F. It should work as the pylons will load 2 IRM as designed for 2IR type.

Do you thing the drawings at airwar.ru will help for the pylons? Do you need more reference material?

Guys, may I ask for your advice? If I understand correct there is no MER/TER type for EOGB. MER/TER are available just for BOMB, LGB. I have been thinking of a way round that limitation and one thing that came to mind was to make "fake EOGR" out of the EOGB and by using the SpecificStationCode entry code that could load only on particular type of MER/TER. The thing is, one would still need the "fake EOGR" to drop like a bomb and not fire away like a rocket. I tried editing the respective entries in the weapons ini file to give the rocket no booster and no sustainer motor, etc., but then once the fake EOGR is released, it immediately explodes. So, what do you think, should I experiment with very low values for the booster and sustainer motor or is there any other way to achieve the effect or may be the whole idea is total crap?

Yes, a test bed for the Tu-144. Main landing gear is in such a place that does not leave much room for more than the standard 2 pylons. Still it will be cool to have it in SF world.

F-104C_66 engine nozzle animation fixed, may be it is fixed on the A and the other C versions.

Does it exsist? I am starting to believe it does for me. Checking every 15 minutes if the site is back up and running cannot be called otherwise, I guess. Thank you, Erik for taking good care of the home of this community!

Some pictures here (but no top view, just from various angles of both the singe-seater and the two-seater): http://jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?offset=0&where=search|Mikoyan-Gurevich%20Mig-29|-2|Bangladesh|-2||15|1|||||||Mikoyan-Gurevich%20Mig-29|Bangladesh|-2|-2|||15|1||-2|-2||||all|2||||||-2|||1|||||||||

Do you need any help with Bulgarian numbers?

Have you checked at airwar.ru? http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw_fn.html

Enoc, Eduard models offer an excellent 1/48 Su-22 limited edition model kit with lots of stencils and the instruction sheet for it is available for download in PDF here: http://www.eduard.com/store/Eduard/Plastic-kits/Limited-edition/Aircraft/1-48/Su-22-Su-17M-3-1-48.html May be it will be possible to use the instruction sheet plus the model kit decal sheet as a guide for the stencil placement and similar-looking stencils can be taken from the profiles published for the Su-27 and MiG-29 at the link in my previous post. A good view of the decla sheet is available here: http://www.internetmodeler.com/artman/publish/flaviation/Eduard-1-48-Su-22-Su-17M3-Fitter.php I think you will come up with a very convincing, if not perfect, result. Hope that helps a little.

Found the site I was looking for, unfortunately no Su-17/20/22 profile there, so no good for stencling - http://www.tailormadedecals.com/index.php?option=com_docman&Itemid=34

Well, I hope I find again the site - stupid me, I forgot to bookmark it On the other hand, I think Soulfreak or was that Sundowner posted a link to it here at CA, I hope I find it (will do my best)...

Thank you, guys! Have you come accross the information that the Su-17/20/22 family had 2 configurations for pylons under the fuselage? First - the 4 pylon configuration, 2 pairs as in the screenshots above, used to load free-fall bombs of different size. Second a 2 pylon configurantion - for rocket pods, missiles, fuel tanks, bombs of MER. Those 2 pylons were not fitted in the same spots as the front pylons in the 4-pylon configuration, but slightly further back, in a some-what middle position. As I see (an greatly appreciate) you are aiming at a higly detailed model, I thought I should mention that.

Martin, can you add the APU-68 rail for S-24 and Kh-23 missiles to the front pair of pylons under the fuselage and to the outermost pylons under the wing?

An addiction is not a normal state of the mind, so do not expect logical actions from an addict I did, Erik, that is why I wanted to say "Thanks".

I have compared the data. ini files of the A and C with that of the G model Starfighter and came to a conclusion that TK made a few changes to the G to come up with the A and C models. As nothng I tried worked to make the nozzles move, I am starting to think that the animation was switched off in 3dsMax by mistake. May be a future patch will fix that, just as TK did with the F-4N.

MK10 seats are available here in the SF1 downloads section, if I remember well.

I think a Bulgarian MiG-23 camo would look cool on the M2KBx: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww3/f/37/154/0 Or may be a Bulgarian MiG-21 camo (sampleas available there as well).

Wow, very very nice. Bulgaria is a potential user too.

Krizis made a couple of years ago an excellent MBD-3 rack and shared it with me, but I am not sure if he ever included it in a publicly released weapons pack. Also Krizis has not been active here for quite a while now and I have no contact with him outside CA forum. If anyone has contact with Krizis, then may be he could ask Krizis to upload the MBD-3 or at least grant permission to upload the rack on his behalf. Krizis also made and shared with me a KKR-1 pod for the Su-17/22, but again no public release. May be he would agree that both the MBD-3 and the KKR-1 be uploaded here.

Martin, can you share the source of information about "canopy of the Su-7U Moujik and the current fuselage of the Su-17/20"? All sources I have come accross indicate that the trainers were based on the Su-17M2 fuselage.
