Apologies. I just wanted to bump the thread and make the developers feel their work is appreciated and followed. Of course I understand it's a very hard work to deliver a quality mod. :)

And if new ideas for content are coming, please! :)

Yes, it was a conjecture plane. Everyone thought it was real and then they presented the F-117! The story is really fascinating, in fact back when Sid Meier's simulation came out (which I have in original), they even slipped a "news flash" piece of paper where they explained how MicroProse got the whole game going and how close they were with the real thing. As I said previously, the fact that this bird has never existed is an advantage from a modder's point of view. He could design its capabilities as he pleases, without fear of ruining it for the purists. Since this mod already has the F-22, the F-19 could be easier and more appropriate for Arma3!

Your remarks are valid, I must admit. However, my suggestion for the F-19 was not made by chance. It is mainly a ground attack aircraft and it is very slow. It doesn't even have its own radar! The fact that it is a fictional plane actually allows the modders extensive liberty on how to interpret it (apart from its most prominent outside looks, I guess) and this may speed up design and rendering. Nobody can possibly complain if something is not "in its right place" as there is no real equivalent. I link here the what if stats (from the manual of the old Sid Meier simulation). http://www.atarimania.com/st/boxes/hi_res/f-19_stealth_fighter_microprose_i_6.jpg (242 kB) Of course this model should be low priority for the USAF team, but given its versatile uses it might be cool to have. Anyway, just think about it! :)

Hello. Are there any plans for conjectural planes such as the F-19? I know the plane does not exist in reality, but hell, when did this ever stop a good modder community? :rolleyes: The plane design is based on 1986's Testors model (the most sold hobby kit ever, according to some sources) and the subsequent 1988 best seller simulation with the same name by Sid Meier. This design is cool because it can be used both in old school Cold War missions, but also in future ones. The looks of this bird are really very flexible and there are not many stealth fighters in the game anyway. Actually, because the aircraft was never created, it could be easier for the potential modder to adapt it the way he believes it's better. There are tons of images and modeling approaches online and, frankly, it looks so much better than the F-117A. :)
