So I found an older document flyer for the Myanmar military about the JF-17. It shows 250kg dual bomb racks on stations 2,3,5,6. And the 802AK on stations 3,4,5.
do you have a higher resolution version?

sorry I didn't notice mk20/snakeeye for inner pylon. All was brm1 for inner pylon.
d.. does that mean there's a chance?

I have probably asked about the Mk.20s and Snakeeyes half a dozen times now. For some reason Deka refuses to answer this, in my opinion, very simple question. If they would come out and say no, those bombs can't be loaded or dropped from the inner pylons, like they did with the BRMs or dual ejectors, then at least we would have an answer.
calm down, they're probably just still doing their own research or something's holding them back

We all know the fact that the US and many other nations operate "Aggressor" Squadrons. Squadrons meant to train pilots in the art of air combat, many of these squadrons sport unique paintjobs similar to, or direct copies of those worn by a possible or current enemy nation. Now i don't believe there were any such any aggressor squadrons for the Swedish airforce, but what if they did have an aggressor squadron?
This livery is what they maybe would've looked like they're based off a MiG-23 livery used around the 70-80s, the same era as a Viggen. anyway enough blabbing here are some pictures.
these are the ones requested,
and then here are some extra beauty shots, (warning: some of these use Reshade)
here's the link to the livery: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12xTGobBm52cQshKuqIBIDktAFhcyvXjz/view?usp=sharing
if there's anything missing please let me know!

this is a fictional livery based off of the fictional MiG-28 from the movie top gun. I like to imagine this is a modern version of the MiG-28, a MiG-28SM. it carries anti-ship moosles which the F-5, the orignal base for the MiG 28 can't, which is why i think it would be more appropriate to use the Jf-17. anyway enough talk let's see some pictures
I'll be sure to update this post with a link to the user files once it is approvedLivery is approved on userfiles

He means empty pylons without any ordinance on them, just like almost all other modules.
Instead of having it like it is now where choosing "Remove Payload" also removes your pylons from the wings, add the separate option like in the Hornet/Viper/Fulcrums; "Remove Pylon".
That way "Remove Payload" will leave you with bomb pylons attached to your wings with no ordinance and "Remove Pylon" will, of course, remove both weapon and pylon.
oh ok i understand now, honestly i prefer how it is now but i can see why one would want the pylons
-
empty pylons? do you mean like empty fuel tanks or that there not be a pylon if nothing is equipped?

The Hongdu JL-8 (Nanchang JL-8), also known as the Karakorum-8 or K-8 for short, is a two-seat intermediate jet trainer and a light attack aircraft designed in the People's Republic of China by China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation.
The JL-8 / K-8 cockpit arrangement is designed to be as close to that of a combat aircraft as possible. A transparent plastic canopy covering both cockpits, which are arranged in a tandem seating position, is supposed to give a good all-round field of view.
A Rockwell Collins Electronic Flight Instrument System (EFIS) is fitted, with multi-function displays (MFDs) in the front and rear cockpits showing information to the pilots. The emergency cockpit escape system is made up of two Martin-Baker MK-10L rocket-assisted ejection seats which are zero-zero capable, meaning they can be used safely at zero altitude and zero speed. Although JL-8 is designed to have limited capability to deliver air-to-ground weapons, the first rocket attack practice was only completed in May 2011.[6]
Ultra high frequency (UHF) and very high frequency (VHF) radio communication systems are present, along with a Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) and automatic direction finder (ADF). An instrument landing system (ILS) is also available. These systems can be tailored to meet the requirements of the customer.
(copied from wikipedia)
the K-8 is used by multiple countries as trainers and for aerobatics and it has some light ground attack capabilities. it has the capability to be something interesting for the Chinese side of DCS, and it's not as far fetched as some of the other ideas presented (*cough* J-15 *cough*).
furthermore it shouldn't take too long to develop considering it doesn't have the complex systems that surround many combat aircraft.
in terms of why i'm interested in it, just look at this cockpit!
but also it would provide an excellent intro for new players to dcs and old alike, especially for those who like to fly redfor. and for old players can be a good challenge to master it's ground attack capabilities.
deka has probably already reached a conclusion on what module to develop now, but maybe have this as the next one after that?
here are some pictures of the K-8 in service with other countries.
another option i would consider are some helicopters
my first option would be the Ka-29
based off of the Ka-27 this helicopter is in use both with the russian and chinese navies as naval born anti-sub and assault helicopters also capable of transporting troops, it would allow for a whole new area of ops (naval helicopter ops) and I think it has the potential to be a best seller. here's a screenshot i took with the current AI Ka-27 in dcs
my second option would be the Mi-2 Hipolite

as a friend of mine put it, it's a baby Mi-8!

OK fixed the bug, it's a result of the use of MFD mods, so if you have any of those you have to remove them

Yeah, thats what i do also. Is your problem in SP and/or MP? Which weapons exactly? Map? Cold/Hot start? weather?
I'm just asking because i could test today in the evening. Last i used the JF-17 excessive in AG role in my little training mission is a couple months ago and i didn't had any trouble(hot start on runway though). I was flying the JF-17 yesterday again(MP after ages) but only AG weapons used by me were C802-AK and there was only one missile acting weird. One C802-AK did a looping instead of impacting, the second hit and sunk the ship. I have to check if something was recorded by track/tacview....
multiplayer, cold start

How do you turn on the HNS? Can you upload a short Track or show your steps with screenshots?
press HNS on the UFC
turn it to INS + GPS
press rtn, HNS light is on
-
Everyone's saying i have to turn on the HNS to correct for drift, but For me itjust breaks the INS for lack of a better term, it puts me in places i am not on, and turning it off gets it working again but then my weapons miss by quite a bit, what's happening?

You're correct, my procedure is out of date. I'm uploading a quick revision tonight for these two weapons.
hello chuck! i'm wondering if updating your Jf-17 guide with all the new stuff is your next project?

for me HNS just messes things up

I've noticed a couple times that when I drop the glide bombs, they accelerate to like 650 knots at very low altitudes after being dropped around 350 knots. This seems rather odd to me. Maybe its normal, but it doesn't make sense for a glide bomb to break the sound barrier without propulsion to push through the transonic drag region. I don' currently have a track, I usually just play MP.
MP saves tracks automatically,
i've noticed this too, i always wondered why that's happening

And that edit was made after or while i made my post
(Since as you can see its not its not in your original post that i quoted)
So that part was not there when i made my post.
I can do both Mirage V and Mirage 2000, it doesn't really matter. I saw the Mirage V scheme at the aviation museum in cairo

ah ok, i'll get it done

The Egyptian Mirage 2000EM is mostly the same as your JF-17 skin.
Except for no Orange + the Radome is Black.
i was thinking of doing the Radome on the Jf-17 black, i think i found good reason too
btw are you egyptian?

And if you are making more Egyptian Skins i really hope you do a Mirage 2000EM.
Since its a real Shame there are no Egyptian Mirage 2000 Skins (Official or user made)
considering they are one of the operators (And they were the first Export Customer).
Hello matte! Could you please link some reference images? I'll try and get it done as well
Any plans to add more weapons?
in JF-17 Thunder
