Curious if we will get some preview shots of the new MS Flight Sim from Hawaii...

My hope is that all of the work, all of the modelling, all of the months and months of struggle to get little details correct doesn't go to waste by having to re-model everything all over again.

I'm certainly impressed by the methods they are employing for flight physics modelling, essentially a 1000% increase in the data sampling for aerodynamic modelling. Also very impressed with their scenery modelling and rendering, rendering structures in real time based on Bing data streamed real time...

LOL! You don't owe me anything. I'm still basking in the glory of our Champions League Title! Anyways, I don't have any reservations any longer with converting the files. At this point I don't see myself ever getting back to them. I have started construction on my real world Vans RV-8 aircraft and t...

I'm sure everyone would appreciate a new version of the EF2000/Typhoon.

Nick's model is a very early version that by today's standards is quite basic.

I'm kinda itching to do the Boeing/SAAB T-X one of these days.... I know, I know, back to the Vipers.....

Nah man, they gotta paint it that classic Nimrod puke yellow color!!! What the heck...?

Trump can't leave soon enough..... Looks like the last TWA scheme.

We'll see. I log in here now about once or twice a month, that's my level of activity these days as real life just has me too busy to entertain any of this right now. But here's the thing, what sim should this model be converted for?? Is it worth waiting to see what sort of phoenix that MS comes up ...

Very nice and dirty!

I'd like to think that this amazing screenshot is the culmination of over a decade of trial and error with this flight simulator series and it is truly amazing from many aspects, the scenery, the models, the environment, the planning and execution. It's all there in this one shot. Bravo John! Makes ...

4 of the aircraft are equipped with in-flight refuelling hoses and drogues:

THIS screenshot......!!!!

Geez I didn't realize they were going away so soon already! Where has the time gone??

The refueling .air files are set up so that the aircraft doesn't exceed about 250kts at cruise which allows you to catch up to them fairly easily for air to air refueling. The non-refueling .air files allow them to fly at their normal cruising speeds for going from A to B. Does that mean that refue...

Looks good Mark! Did you paint up the engine covers as well by chance?

Both. And I just realized by re-reading that thread about them that it only affects the D models. So I'll put them together for release, all of them and if people want they can just fix the D model textures which is only 13 total textures, each requiring about a 1x10 stripe of pixels along the nosec...

I have them courtesy of Mark Heimer but they need a fix to look correct on the model. Maybe we should release them without the fix (which is very minor). We have Bk42 specific AETC F-16 models for Holloman.

Sweet shot. Looks almost real!

Perfect!
