[griphos]

Care to label these (Aircraft model and maker/developer) for the jet-impaired among us? :-)

The modern ones, I know. I'm thinking the ones above are the Mirage. But those in the OP I don't know for sure. And I don't know who makes any of these for FSX.

1. North American F-100D Super Sabre. By Milviz
2. CONVAIR B-58 Hustler. By Glowing heat

Any of your recent stuff Rick...but I'm keen on the F9F.
As far as my fighter jet skills go, I openly admit that I qualify for the Keep It Simple Stupid classification. :very_drunk:

Those who know me, know that I really don't care for kerosine heaters, but I do like the early ones, the P-80s in particular. A while back I started a what if project based on Operation Downfall, the invasion of Japan. Here's a few of the paints i came up with based WWII piston fighters paint schemes and a block of cancelled P-80B tail numbers. The old AlphaSim P-80 reworked for FSX

The bare metal is from Morton's CFS2 P-80s with permission. The rest of the paint is mine.

There's some more finished ones and a bunch that were in progress when the project hit the back burner. I've got a bunch more tricks now in the ol' paint can should I start back on it. These will probably be redone.

Those are fantastic! What you need is for someone to create a native FSX version via MCX of those are freeware, and assign the materials to blend the environment by the inverse of the diffuse alpha. And also assign some placeholder specular and bump maps. This would allow some awesome bare metal to be done using the lighting engine instead of painting on the reflectuons permanently. Would make your paints look even better. A lot more work but well worth it.

My favorites are the select few jets I enough interest in real life, and find enough joy flying in the sim, to have in my virtual hangar. (I would love to have a nice Temco Super Pinto in FSX!)

I'm playing with doing my own bare metal right now using the CalClassic C-46 (another old favorite) to experiment with. As for bump maps and specular, I've been fiddling with those a little in my Gee Bee Z doings. Heck, I finally started getting my head around the layers thing a few months ago (since these were done) and have made up my own paint kit for it. It only took me almost 16 years to figure that out! lol

This is about as modern as I care to get. The Ford

[nigel richards]

Vampire/Venom, Hunter, Lightning and Vulcan.

Probably in equal doses.

[nigel richards]

The Hawker Hunter is arguably the jet-powered stablemate of the Supermarine Spitfire regarding design aesthetics.

It is also the most incredible sound-generator, as anyone who has seen/heard a high speed run will attest.

Always been keen on the early Vampires, they remind me of square rigger MG roadsters.

The F-86 is another favourite, very resonant of the times.

That would be a long, long list from me.....

Aerosoft F-14, F-16 and Lightning, Lotus L-39, Iris Warthog, M2M F-15E, Bear Studios J-10 and the Flankers, Just Flight Canberra and Tornado, Restauravia Mirage III, Razbam Harrier, Dino Goshawk and F-35, Virtavia Skyhawk; those are usually the first ones I install first when reinstalling FsX. Might have missed a few though.. ;-)

[huub vink]

As you most likely already exected I hardly fly jets in FSX. When I fly them it is most often to explore scenery in a bit higher pace.

I absolutely love the look of Dino's models and I think his F-14 is a real master piece, but somehow these modern jets are not really the thing for me.

The Restauravia Mirage III and Dave Garwood's Hunter are often used, but the ones below are are the most common ones.

Tim "Piglet" Conrad's T-33

I guess after all these years, this is still my number one jet power aircraft in FSX. It's easy for me to fly, doesn't kill my frame rates, and has a nice sound set.

I don't have any books on the Ford. One of these days, I'll get around to painting some though as I've got a bunch of pics saved that I found on the net.

[DaveB]

Have you noticed the promised increase in performance with the Tonka Dave? I'd still like to get one but the demo version (which I understand is tooled up to the pre NEW SP spec) was still too heavy on my rig.

[DaveWG]

There's a definite improvement with SP4.1. Still not the best out there, but it's a huge leap from the original release. I believe they're intending to update the demo so I'd give it another try when they do Dave.
