KillarZ Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 wow kato looks really good now if someone can figure out how to do clickable cockpits and weapon systems. I know its not easy man looks great though.
Cali Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Wow. A MIG 21, F16, and now this. Flaming cliffs is about to have a flood of new aircraft to play with. I love the modders great work! I just wish these jets could get added instead of using one of the jets we have now.

ALF7 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Good work. Question. The given cockpit purely flight or allows to battle operations on attack of the air and land targets?

aaron886 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Good work. Question. The given cockpit purely flight or allows to battle operations on attack of the air and land targets? Not at the moment, or for the foreseeable future. It is purpose-built for the demonstration we fly.
kobac Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Very nice and professionally done. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]Everything is possible ...
kato217 Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Good work. Question. The given cockpit purely flight or allows to battle operations on attack of the air and land targets? No, I don't have any plans to add missiles or bombs - everything takes so long to do, that by the time I had all that working, ED will have released their own F-18 with clickable cockpit that will work with new weapons that don't exist yet for the current F-15/A-10. Then you wouldn't want this cockpit anyway :lol: Скрытый текст data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw==
