Texture issue, but not really an issue for me. VFA-204 aircraft 407 right weapon pylon seems to be alpha channeled out for some reason.

Any painters want to try this:

I think you'll find that the pylon is just not there. We just spotted this ourselves the other day. Nick is absent right now so there will not be a fix for some time, hopefully I'm wrong, but we'll need him to re-compile the model with the pylon in there for that loadout variation. When we do we'll post up the fixed model file for you guys to insert.

Until then you can just change out the aircraft's "model=A_Intercept" in the [fltsim.x] entry to something other than "A_Intercept". You've got 8 other loadouts to chose from. :wink:

While testing some NTU scenery today, completed a section approach with a VFC-12 Hornet, is the speedbrake not modeled/animated? I can't believe the detail on the model from the start, just making sure I am not having issues. The rudders "toed-in" in the landing configuration are good enough!

I will let Nick explain the full details, when he gets time, but I will confirm that the speedbrakes were left unanimated deliberately as they are not used in the landing configuration.
As you say the rudder toe adds lift and acts as a speedbrake.

Went to download the reserve Hornets but on the download map, the links take me to the Great Lakes ANG Part 1.

Am I missing something here?
