This would allow a Tornado ADV model for F-14 for example, or using JF-17 and selecting Gripen externals. While not a perfect solution, it would definitely help to create some scenarios with for example Tornado ADV being similar to the F-14 with Sparrows. Obviously would require tuning, but would be a big help in Cold War missions, too. For example the Jeff. With Jeff internals and use, it pretty much functions like an early Gripen. Already by default, it is pretty close. Yeah you could say that this isn't a perfect solution, and I can wholeheartedly agree. But it'd be heck of a better solution than nothing in my mind. It could be up to the Mission Editor and the mission creator to use the appropriate external model when wanted. The example of F-14 using Tornado ADV as external works pretty great for 1989, and there's other mashups I can think of, too. Interested on if anyone has any refined thoughts on a system like this. Air Goons will run a 1986 Cold War gone Hot scenario as a big multiplayer event, and currently the F-14 in RAF skin is going to be the Tornado ADV, and the F-15E with all A2A weapons disabled will be the F-111. Not perfect, but even without visual model change, their role matches with appropriate skins. Having external model match would be a perfection. And yeah, in our last campaign the JF-17 was the Gripen. Edited Friday at 07:03 PM by Vähäkylä
