F-22A Raptor mod enhancement mod


Recommended Posts

It's going public this week. I'm adding a lot more details like the tiles or seams on the bottom.

Anyone can feel free to help and figure out if the bottom, like the weapon bay door or wings are coated in this shiny material as well or not. So far I couldn't really make it out from the images or references I found.

I have to say I love the chrome version of the Raptor.  I'd really love to hear some ideas on what it could be for.  My guess?  Defense against directed energy weapons!

🤣

Inevitable question: any chance of actual thrust vectoring?

That would require an EFM.  One is rumored to exist that has thrust vectoring enabled.  It'll be up to Grinnelli if he releases it or not.  Or, an enterprising 3rd party to develop and EFM for the Raptor.  Personally, I haven't even looked into it.  I've been tweaking the SFM and I'm pretty happy with it.  I have no idea what all would be required to make an EFM from scratch.

 

Maybe he'll release one for the 1st anniversary of the mod in a month.  JUST a thought, I have no inside information.

You know, we are all looking at what they have done with the Su-30M series mod... Actually, I am happy of what the Raptor is of now.

Yea it's a great mod.  And not because of what I've done with it, because it was a great idea and foundation in the first place.  I've had a great time adding stuff to it and I really enjoy flying it.  A great EFM with working thrust vectoring would be awesome.

Too buggy for now, I am afraid. Sorry for being off-topic. Keep up the good work @Nightstorm

I was talking about the Su30-M... Yours is fine but I still have some tail issue during takeoff:

Well, I have no control over that.  Maybe it's the collision model?  I didn't have anything to do with the models from the original mod, nor can I change them w/o access to the original Max format files.  Not likely to happen.

It is not for you then. Thanks for your reply. I hope the developer sees this. 🙂

From the top of the very first post on page 1.  This is an enhancement mod for the F-22A Raptor mod by Grinnelli Designs.

 

*DISCLAIMER*  - This is NOT a new version the F-22A Raptor mod by Grinnelli Design's.  This is simply an addon to that mod that replaces some of the stock files for two different versions.  One intended for single player use that does change performance data and weapons and one intended for multiplayer use that only changes displays.  I am NOT by any means taking credit for any of the works of the aforementioned team.  Without them, there wouldn't have been a mod to mod.  I originally started this "project" to modify the F-22A mod to my own liking.  Afterwards it was suggested that I make the changes available to anyone else that was interested.  It is not a repack of the mod and still requires the original as a base.  No slight is intended towards the original mod or it's creators.

I know, I know. It has been very sensitive. If there is any harsh feeling, my apologies.

No, not at all 🙂  I just don't want to even give the slightest impression to anyone that I'm taking credit for the mod, its models or content.

Have a nice morning/afternoon/evening and keep up the great work. Have been enjoying this mod very much.
