swartbyron Posted yesterday at 11:45 AM Posted yesterday at 11:45 AM (edited) Our F-16 3D model and textures are really showing their age compared to the latest modules. Some still feel we have a rushed and unfinished product on the artwork and 3D side of things. I hope that the reluctance to include community liverys is a sign that work is being done in house to improve things. Edited yesterday at 11:48 AM by swartbyron

I hope that the reluctance to include community liverys is a sign that work is being done in house to improve things. I doubt it. There are still numerous model errors and the rear cockpit is untextured. We've been asking for years to get it updated and nothing has come of it. Just a few weeks ago the F-16 was deemed feature complete and left early access so I doubt ED will go back and fix it now. Upgrading the model and textures for a released module that most people already have won't make them money. The shiny new modules like Mig-29, F-15C, and F-35 will. Hell, look at the hornet. It has model and texture issues noted since early access almost 8 years later. Most of the textures are low resolution too. It needs updated more than the F-16 but neither will likely be fixed until ED sells a paid remaster for the F-16 and F-18 v2.0 2

Especially if the 99% work is already done and offered by the community for free. I would would be more than happy to pay for a F-5E style update if that's the way ED prefer to go.
