Hunt the intruder - out-flank him

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

Ummm why are those rockets on the wings not under them?

Or is it a plane what do have them on the wing in real life?

They are correct.  Its the actual position on the Sepecat (Anglo/French consortium) Jaguar.  

The original version's over-wing pylons were only compatable with Matra 'Magic' AAM's.  The RAF later went on to convert the their Jags to support Sidewinder.

Chk this out

Dammit Rock beat me to the punch ;)

Wow this will be a great plane for ofp.More ammo=more fun!

It's a type of car. (think die another day).

Lol the car of Die Another Day was an Aston Martin Vanquish, not Jaguar

Quote[/b] ]And we're waiting for it to arrive.

Well, besides the plane there also exists a Jaguar car for OFP pretty cool one too!

Back on topic, nice rework of the Jag, Footmunch, but I'm very much interested in something of which there is no other version yet... the An-70!!! Any news on that one?

Actually Bond's car was an Aston Martin but the 'bad guy's' care was a Jaguar, a green XK8 if memory serves.

No progress to show right now. The cargo scripting is taking

some time, so they'll be no news till after Christmas...

wasent this the plane that we told the french not to use in the first iraq war beacuse if they did then they would be shot down by the U.S.? i think it had something to do with there radar systems being the same as the iraqi ones.

[ThudBlunderQ8 0]

Chaz, the Iraqis operated Mirage F1s in the anti-shipping role, but have never had Jaguar. You are right that there weren't any French Mirage F1 deployed to the Gulf area in 1990/1, but they certainly helped out back home with Dissimilar Air Combat Training for allied forces.

[SPQR 0]

Iraq used Mirage F1 :

- 30 F.1EQ (Air Defense/Ground attack)

- 23 F.1EQ-200 (Air Defense/Ground attack)

- 20 F.1EQ5 (anti-warship combat, with ASM Exocet. Remenber the USS Stark)

- 16 F.1BQ (training)

For the first Gulf War, it was said that french Mirage F1CR (Air defense, ground attack, recon) could not fly because of visual identification error possibility. But that was partly false, as they flew escorted by Mirage 2000C.

French Air Force for Desert Storm :

- 26 Jaguar A => 568 combat missions (1043 flight hours)

- 10 Mirage 2000C => 512 combat missions (1422 flight hours)

- 6 Mirage F.1CR => 96 combat missions (234 flight hours)

A tool for Lock on is out you can extract Lomac textures with.

High Quality F15,F16,F18,B52 and more textures!

[ThudBlunderQ8 0]

SPQR,

A very good, informative reply - I defer to your expert knowledge, thanks. That will also teach me not to mouth off about areas of which I have only limited knowledge.

Mind you, I never saw any of them in our area of ops...

[Shashman 0]

Regarding the F1's use in the '91 Gulf conflict, the FAF applied D-Day style black and white stripes to their machines, as they did on their Gazelles, which, if I'm not mistaken, were also in use by the Iraqi AF

[bucket man 2]

Footmunch, I have a little broblem with some of your planes.

Their weapons, landing gear and canopys dissapear unless I am standing right next to them.

As you can see your MiG-21 and MiG-17 work fine. Only Hunter, F-4E and F-16 have this broblem. Your old Beagle also did this but the new Beagle works fine.

Any idea whats wrong?

It looks like you are not seeing the first LOD of the models.

Adjust your configs to some more "quality".

[Guest RKSL-Rock]

I think you'll find its the fact the they are early Betas - the Lods arent set up properly for long viewing distances.

I have the same problem. Some of us can't afford new graphics cards and can't increase the resolution without seriously compromising frame rates. The problem is that either the LOD's are set to change to lower LOD's much too early or the 2nd LOD is very low detailed.

Actually nobody has seen the real problem in his screenshot!

It's not Footmunch planes, but it's Colonel Klinks Shelter. The Shelter uses a lot (and I mean a hell lot) polygons (and I think it has only one LOD) and therefore every other model that has "lower detailed" LODs drops to those.

I'd rather advice to not use the Shelters, then the planes can be displayed in the highest resolution LOD.

As usual, it's a bit of both, really. While I do try to keep the

models simple, the Falcon in particular does have quite a high

poly-count, especially with all those high-detail missiles and

bombs.

The easiest way to _stop_ it happening is to set 'Auto Drop

Down' (in the OFP Preferences application) to 'None'.

I am re-doing many of the LOD's to include simplified landing

gear, so that the planes don't float as much - Bucket Man

noticed the 'improvement' on the Beagle - but it's a slow

process at the moment. There will be a v1.1 of the Falcon

(with some other changes) before Xmas...

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

Hey Footmunch if you need some good F16 Textures check out Lock on. There is a Tool called LoMan (10mb) with you can look in the cdds folders and export the Textures.

Or shall I send you one File via Email?

[somebloke 0]

Technically isn't using textures from another game illegal?

[Jezz 0]

its not stopped people before

[Sgt_Eversmann 1]

I think on the Textures of lock on isn't a ©,® or ™

something

I have just copied them

[Footmunch 0]

Ever - I know about the CDDS browser from Loman. The

Lomac textures for the F-16, F-5 and F-4 are quite low-res...

Some of us can't afford new graphics cards and can't increase the resolution without seriously compromising frame rates.

It has been posted several times here in the forums, config tuning that makes OFP nicer at no or very few loss of fps.

Also on "low end" systems.

was beta testing a lot of your planes under FlashFXmod 1.8 noticed the Beagle has a max speed of just under 600 is that for a reason? found it interesting them trying to dog fight against F15s while on a bombing mission. Would have thought they fly a little faster than 600.
