Some interesting links, planning the production phase of the An-124-(500): -- Use the Google translation feature in case you got problems-- http://lenta.ru/news/2009/12/24/an124/ http://www.aviastar-sp.ru/aviastar_en/index.htm -- tech data An-124-100 http://kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?DocsID=1298196

Interesting development of the upcoming new An-124-500 production line with UAC. http://www.aviationweek.com/aw/generic/story_channel.jsp?channel=defense&id=news/RUSLAN121709.xml&headline=Russian%20Air%20Force%20Backing%20Needed%20For%20An-124

Hi, For the MiG-21bis I'm looking for a Soviet Air Force skin, weathered if possible. Is there something around? Appreciate your help, thank you!

@beczl this is one of the best ideas to get Walmis F-15 and your MiG-21bis in one pack. Can't wait to get it... Thx for that wonderful MiG-21bis !!

Now, finaly they've crossed the river...congratulations!

The Mi-26 should be part of the upcoming LOFC 2.0! But who knows?? Thanks Coyote, as always you deliver very good mods for the community. rhino

Yes, I agree - something has to be done!!

@alphasixone Thanks for the pix!

The worldwide market for this plane exists already and there is a severe shortage of a/c in this class, as a heavy lifter. Just to remind you: the SALIS company has 6 An-124 permanently stationed at the German airport Leipzig. They are leased by NATO for long haul services to AFG and other mil transports worldwide. Even the USAF C-5 can't reach the An-124. In my opinion it's a good decision to re-open the assembly lines for the Antonov. They might earn very good money.

@flanker Beautiful! The real stuff... Thanks for sharing!

Surely, the GAF, FAF and the RAF need this a/c very badly. The ol' C-160 transports are good for the junk yard. I don't understand why a company like EADS was unable to present this plane on time. But that is another story!

What a surprise, ED finaly did it!! Thanks Wags, you are the man, I knew it!

Professional work! What about the poly count for our flightsims?

Good aspect...impressive

@coyote this vehicle 9s737 ranzhir is a comms component of the Tor AD system. The additional pics on the Ru-forum are marvelous. If the poly count is in the normal range we could use it in Black Shark and Lock On FC. Again, Diana did a AAA job!

In case somebody is interested, here is a website with all the details of the defection and the tec possibilities of the MiG-25 in 1976. http://www.wvi.com/~sr71webmaster/mig25.html

Yes, I agree, something different but real looking paint job. Since a MiG-25 landed on one of the Japanese islands back in the 80's (?) this a/c had my interest. The Soviet AF pilot was Belenko (?), as far as I know. He lives now in the US with a new identity. Got to check with Wikipedia. Mizzy, thank your for this skin. It's bad that you do some other art work.

Thank you for the mods, it's good to know! It's getting more realistic. rhino

@Joe Kurr Thanks alot for this tutorial, well done! rhino

I just had the pleasure to d/l the new mod of our friend Tomcatz, in this case the F-16C w/ the KC-10A. Well, to my surprise the KC-10 has a boom opr in the back and you can even take a good look at him. Excellent work, even new turbofans w/ rotating blades. Now I was personally interested in the tanker and didn't install the F-16C yet, to be frank. In my opinion, a great shot! Thx Tomcatz for the excellent work. rhino

Yes, thats the real iHawk ADS! I suggest to put it in LOFC and of course BS... Thx for the pics!! rhino

Well, I got the feeling we get a pre-xmas season! The ol' rhinos are still alive and kicking... Thx Tom & Mitch!! rhino

@TOMCATZ Don't worry, this is absolutely OK! I know your mods for years now and they are pretty good. You're a talented person in this LOFC business. Take your time...maybe the final version will be a xmas present. rhino

@TOMCATZ I just would like to say that this mod is very good! When will the final version be ready? Thank's for your work. rhino

@pallmall Holy sh*t, now that what I call a master piece. Lets cross fingers that ED will buy this model for BS and Lock On. rhino
