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 !!!.

Majesco Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 (edited) Gripen Hi-res skins should be more detailed and dirty :D and, need a clear/ more reflection canopy replaces the black current one Bug: A dark line along the fuselage, extend from nose to jetpipe, what's that ? Edited May 14, 2009 by Majesco
RvEYoda Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Awesome! Can I use f-15 cockpit with it also if I only want to fly a2a? How would I go about doing this? S = SPARSE(m,n) abbreviates SPARSE([],[],[],m,n,0). This generates the ultimate sparse matrix, an m-by-n all zero matrix. - Matlab help on 'sparse'
VireVolte_tigrou Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 Don't know. Try it ! Gripen Hi-res skins should be more detailed and dirty :D and, need a clear/ more reflection canopy replaces the black current one Bug: A dark line along the fuselage, extend from nose to jetpipe, what's that ? 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 ?
VireVolte_tigrou Posted May 14, 2009 Author Posted May 14, 2009 I think it comes from this. I don't actually now how to fix this, excepted try in "all planar"... :/
Vekkinho Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Full shadows has a bug with LOFC...or was it with newer ATi drivers...so use All planar instead! VVT, THANX a LOOOOT! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Silent Warrior Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Celebration! I'll work very hard to give myself time to try this!

VireVolte_tigrou Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 First flight for South African Gripen C : http://www.gripen.com/en/MediaRelations/News/2009/first_flight_for_south_african_gripen.htm As the two-seaters, the camo scheme looks quite different than european standard. Then, for my Gripen Mod, I'm looking for any pictures of this plane ! Cheers
shaggy Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Awesome Tigrou. I cant find any more pics of it right now but i found a hig res version of that picture on the Gripen website. Intel Core i7-8700 3,20GHz - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 - 32Gb Ram - DCS on 500 GB SSD - Windows 10 - Thrusmaster Warthog - Thrustmaster TPR pedals - Track Ir 5 - Samsung Odyssey+ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.virtualredarrows.com
VireVolte_tigrou Posted August 6, 2009 Author Posted August 6, 2009 Yes, I have the same. Not really enough for an accurate skin, even if it looks like the two-seater.
