I asked him for that though PM some time ago as I wanted to do Bulgarian skin for the L-410, he did not answer...

Well, the AIM-9 launch rail is designated LAU-7/A, here are a few reference pics:

Guys, does anyone know if a SUU-21/A pod and/or F-104 centerline tank are available?

Well I cannot tell from the picture if the fin was retractable or was simply removed to allow enough clearance from ground. Anyway, operational or not, fuel tank or nuke, in all cases the Starfighter looks rather cool and exotic with a store on the centerline pylon, given the unusual angle (the rear of the weapon sitting lower than the front).

Cocas, thanks, but SUU-21/A is not a gun pod - it is a bomb dispenser pod, carrying training bombs.

I might be wrong, but I thought that thing on the centerline station in the picture below is a 100 gal drop tank...

Dels, when you are up to it, could you please show us some more details, such as weapon pylons, landing gear?

Thanks!

Hello guys, may I ask you for a short status update on that project? Each Soulfreak's post with that 2-seater in his signature is quite a teaser each time

Dels, we are lucky enough to just have you working on that, but I need to ask for all of us "2-seater fans" - have you thought at all about adding also the 2-seater version?

Cosas, thanks, I asked for side view, because the landing gear seems a bit off, hope you do not mind the feedback. If compared with the pictures in the links below, front gear is too much to the front and its supports too much angled, main gear is too much back and main gear covers, that cover the wheels are a bit wrong too (should be larger and more rounded). http://www.planespotting.nl/newphotos/LBG/01.JPG http://www.flickr.com/photos/isa_lias/2838141122/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/39411748@N06/4692354647/ http://www2.airliners.net/photo/France---Air/Dassault-Mirage-4000/1381750/L/ http://www2.airliners.net/photo/France---Air/Dassault-Mirage-4000/0163454/L/&sid=e9673f0cdb46ee16816cce64dba2a39f http://www2.airliners.net/photo/France---Air/Dassault-Mirage-4000/1789074/L/&sid=e9673f0cdb46ee16816cce64dba2a39f http://www2.airliners.net/photo/France---Air/Dassault-Mirage-4000/1209915/L/&sid=e9673f0cdb46ee16816cce64dba2a39f - the 2 above show its fuel tanks, laser guided missiles and probably a targeting pod loads, could be helpful for various pylon shapes, if you mean to get into that at all. In general, I would say the landing gear and the main gear covers look quite similar to those of the other Mirage aircraft with delta wings - III, V and mostly 2000. Hope that could help you.

Cocas, great progress. Could you please also show a side view of the aircraft on the ground in which the aircraft is not angled as it is in shot 2 above (sorry can't explain it any better in English)?

With number 3, you mean the project that Teras was working on - F-16 block 70, I guess. No update on it for quite some time now. Looks great, Dels!!!

Hi, just take this cockpit mod: http://combatace.com/files/file/12684-mig-15-mig-15-bis-mig-17-simplified-cockpit/ and add it to your stock MiG-17F. For info on how to make stock aircraft flyable, check in the Knowledge Base.

So far it just brings up a quote to my mind: "... is a very mysterious and powerful device and it's mystery is exceeded only by it's power."

Very, very nice progress, Centurion-1. Do you plan to add fuel tanks under the wings (like on the 3-view drawing above) as part of the aircraft model?

There is something special about this camo, sad it did not go beyond tests only...

Cocas, you have a spelling mistake in the AllowedWeaponClass entry - you have SHAM in stead of SAHM. As for the ARM, what AR missiles do you want to load on the MiG-17? The weight limit could be an issue too - if it is too low, some missiles that are heavier than 250 will not load.

Yep, so true. Back at the time I got into scale modelling, cause I was really fond of military aircraft (not because of their killing power, but because of the brilliance and ingenuity in each one) and that hobby was a way to get me closer to them - sort of enable me to touch the shape of the machine. Still scale modelling has its limits - you can build one or two configurations of the aircraft and you have to move to the next one and soon you realize because of your own endless curiosity you need a room the size of an exhibition hall to store all your models and you have to stop (or start throwing away, which is painful enough). And then I came accross TW games and this community and they gave me unlimited options to satisfy my curiosity for military aircraft. You want to see a Phantom with full bombs load - sure, no problem, just start the sim. You want to see it fully A2A loaded - same thing. OK, enough of Phantoms, how about a Fulcrum - no problem, the community has taken care of providing it. One day I realized I spend more time just fiddling with inis and seeing aircraft in game, rather then actually flying a full mission or campaign. Bottom line for me, as long as TW games remain the only lite-sim game allowing unlimited different aircraft with great quality of models and accurately represented weapons stores, allowing to see and test various combinations and as long as this great community continues to enlrage the variety of mods available for TW games, no way out of it. It all seems very simple - everyone came here and bought TW games for own selfish reasons, to satisfy a need. Once needs change or the product no longer satisfies the needs - time to look for alternatives and no one can be blamed, neither the buyer, nor the supplier.
