Full shadows ?

A official teaser was expected, but my "video director" and my aerobatic team are actually too busy for this. So, next time ! :D

I think it comes from this. I don't actually now how to fix this, excepted try in "all planar"... :/

Don't know. Try it ! It's not easy to find dirty Gripens indeed... :/ The Czech two-seater is a little, just for test. I used for this weathered layer included in the psd templates. But I'm not a great skinner indeed, sure some should produce some better ! For graphic bugs, should confirm you're using ATI cards with full shadows ?

Yes ! :D http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=41402

Please uninstall them before installation. This includes Ada Mod, VFAT Mod, Rafale Mod, Walmis F-15's, etc... Use Modman 6.3.0.1 or latest versions Features and limitations ---------------------------------- This mod presents the Saab JAS-39 Gripen in their C (single seat) and D (double seat) versions. The two versions are on the same slot, it switches by selecting skins in the payload editor. The plane replaces MiG-29G 3D model. Then this MiG becomes unavailable for Germany. Here are some known limitations : -> It is not possible to use air brakes when landing gear is out. -> Heat blur effect looks a little forward. -> At high altitude, two smoke trails appear. -> Cockpit position is tuned for Gripen and affects all MiG-29 version. Then, pilot is seated 50 cm lower on MiGs... -> It is not possible to fire stock anti-ship missiles. They are "simulated" by using the very short range Kh-29T TV guided missile. Four level of details are included : LOD0 : 35600 faces LOD1 : 26600 LOD2 : 17800 LOD3 : 3400 Countries and On-board numbers ---------------------------------- All Gripens are available with Sweden country which replaces Canada. The skins allow to represent Gripens from all actual operators : Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic and South Africa. One dedicated skin by country and for each version is available. For better realism, please fill the on-board numbers in the paylaod editor as follows : Sweden 39C : 200 and more Sweden 39D : 800 and more Hungary 39C : 30 to 41 Hungary 39D : 42 & 43 Czech 39C : 234 to 245 Czech 39D : 819 & 820 SAAF 39D : 01 to 09 (today only five delivered). SAAF 39C : no plane delivered yet on 17 ordered. No skins available. Weapons ---------------------------------- Some weapons needed to be modelled and replace some actual LO stock weapons. They are : -> RBS-15 anti-ship missile. It replaces Kh-29T. -> 1200 L dropable fuel tank replaces S-3's. -> Litening GIII FLIR pod replaces BOZ-100. -> KAB-500T is used to simulate GBU-16 -> KAB-1500 to simulate GBU-10. Landing sequence ---------------------------------- As in real, it is possible to set canards as additional airbrakes. Here is the sequence : -> Flaps must be in landing position. -> Break hard to compress nose gear. -> Push stick forward. -> Raising drag chute adds extra angle. Network warning ---------------------------------- Due to deep MeInit modifications, using this mod in public servers should be considered as CHEAT and may cause some bans... Be careful ! Note to skinners ---------------------------------- Twelve extra slots as been reserved for special skins. Six for 39C and six for 39D. Their names are : -> GRIPEN_C1-F.bmp to GRIPEN_C6-F.bmp for JAS-39C fuselage parts -> GRIPEN_C1-W.bmp to GRIPEN_C6-W.bmp for JAS-39C wings parts -> GRIPEN_D1-F.bmp to GRIPEN_D6-F.bmp for JAS-39D fuselage parts -> GRIPEN_D1-W.bmp to GRIPEN_D6-W.bmp for JAS-39D wings parts Just create the skins with the templates, then save them into the \Bazar\TempTextures folder. Future developments ---------------------------------- Here are some new features which should be developped soon : -> Reskinned cockpit. -> Network compatibility. -> Extra skins. -> 3D improvements. -> Other SAAB planes. Of course, any advice is welcome ! Credits ---------------------------------- Many thanks to Ada Mod team for its HUGE support in this project !!!.

Tomorrow ! :D

I'm afraid too ! Sure, Mig-29 is not a perfect solution, but until ED gave more development abilities, modding in Lock On would be always to choose the less worst solution. :) Then, MiG is what is closer from Gripen in term of size/agility/missions/payloads. And the "G" for western units. Sure the "S" should fit better...

Sure, it's nice, but does not concern a JA-37. This one does :

No, but nice model indeed ! :)

Dutch is enough I guess... ;)

Haha, Scottish, no, but I was just looking for a Belgian translator ! :D

Check PM !

Already done, dude ! :D

The release is close. Then, the photoshop templates are available at Lockon-Files : http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownloaddetails&cid=257&lid=1449&title=Gripen%20Mod%20Templates#dldetails Tschaw

A bug concerning collision model has been identified (human players can pass through themselves...) and will be corrected ASAP. JanKo, Shaggy, got my PM ?

This one ? Of course, this one is on my list ! :) It was used as a test plane for D mod upgrade. It is actually preserved in Szolnok, Hungary. I've collected a impressive amount or pictures and profiles from coloured Viggens. A lot is very nice, the skinners will have huge job !

If anyone feels able to translate a short ReadMe text in Russian, please contact me by MP ! Cheers

Great stuff man ! :)

Don't hurry, dudes ! The 3D is not finished yet ! Still a lot of details to add (nose gear, centre pylons, RAT, etc...) Then the mapping. Then the animations. Then the integration... :weight_lift:

Why not ? Whatever, I've included the reverse nozzles in the 3D. ;)

Once the Gripen will be released, it will be time to focus on its predecessor ! This Viggen will represented as its final fighter version, the JA-37D. It will "naturally" replace the F-15C for similarity on missions and armaments. Release in two more weeks, of course. :)

Can you only prove this affirmation ?? :D

Yes, something like that... :D
