Love the Grippen, wish more countries flew them as far as creating a package goes. She looks fantastic.

I said it before, I'll say it again. I never thought I'd see the day when we had more military ai models than we could keep up with.

Nice work! The thought of AI Gripens hadn't even crossed my mind yet...

A good and complementary choice, Kevin!

That's already looking awesome, Kev!

I show that Sweden, the Czech Republic, Hungary and South Africa are users. Are there any more on the horizon?

Of course we mustn't forget the ETPS has a Gripen as well, that would be welcome.

Some air-air options -

Left to right
ASRAAM, EHUD, AIM-9L, AMRAAM, Derby, IRIS-T

Anyone got a GBU, JDAM, Maverick, or Mk 82 already modelled - in meters?

Also a Litening III? http://www.defense-update.com/directory/litening.htm

Could use ones in feet and scale as needed.

Kev,

Ive got a Mk82, Paveway 2 and 3 JDAM and Maverick already made, but I wont be able to get them to you before tomorrow maybe if they can zip small enough, if not then Friday. They are in metres.

Also have an animated Lantirn pod from the F-15E that is similar to the LITENING if its any use?

Nick

Deal, will have a completed C model one this weekend, then I can mod for the E.

Update -

Main gear retract gonna be 'interesting', LOL.

Question Nick - The canards on your Typhoon....
Did you tie them to any default control, or just use as airbrakes?

Users - In additon to what was listed earlier..
SAAF
Empire Test School

The Canards on the Typhoon are linked to r_ and l_elevator mate. They are animated to be pointed forward on the deck to allow boarding ladder access.

Gripen's looking very lovely by the way.
