I'd rather try to work around it first rather than use the easy solution right away.

Doing something along the lines of this should allow an F/A-18 style landing gear.
Should I drop the CFT (FAST pack) and keep the Flanker landing gear or should I keep the CFT and use F/A-18 like landing gear?

Well, to be fair it's got F-15 wingtips, a M61 gun (which actually wouldn't cause a bulge on the back of the Flanker), straight tail tips, a single frame canopy and an IRST placed bellow the radome.
It's more about making an americanized Flanker than it is about making a truly realistic depiction of an export Flanker. But I'll drop the CFT.

Here's the WIP for the modernized F-105. If the OR is around, I'd like to hear his thoughts on the design before I proceed.
I'll probably copy and paste an AIM-9 drawing instead of drawing them all, though.
I will be redrawing the F-33 from scratch, I'm not confident on how this angle came out.
I'm nearly done with the Super Radical, btw.

I was looking at an F-22 and an F-15 for reference. It shouldn't be an F-35.
I didn't touch the side intakes, other than making them blend into the chines, and I kept he single engine configuration to stray as close as possible from the original F-105

Ah alright. It still looks pretty good tho. If you were to make another modernised aircraft, could you please do the F-104?

>>183580462
Well I'm not sure what I can tell you. This thing is old as hell, but I just used a ton of cloud brushes and gave everything an orange tint. I think the sun is about three or four layers, with blur on some for the glow and all.

Put quite dark shadows on everything that isn't facing the sun and give the edges some hard yellow lines for the reflections/play around with glow on those. I think the yellow edges are a pretty important part of making it look right.

I'd put the sun and horizon just below the SR71 in your picture, somewhere along the middle or towards the front so that it isn't obscured. Probably wouldn't mess with the colours on the plane too much since pretty much all of it would be in shadow, so just make that darker except for the edges.

Pretty generic but that's all I got.

>>183582789
That's some awe inspiring stuff right there. I'll have to take notes.

>>183583106
It's the ending scene from Dark Blue World, kinda.

That said, I only ever really used black with the opacity down to shade, which I don't think is the best way to do it.

>>183583434
Just using transparent black in "Add" or "Substract" mode can have a good result, but for the best result you have to lower both the brightness and choose a duller shade on the colour square to get a good shadow. Making it slightly colder also works wonders.

Sounds about right. I just usually do flats these days though because it's quicker, or just lineart without colour. Stuff like this is also fun though, I'll have to try it again at some point, but I'll also have to try and add more detail to my lineart again, I feel like I've lost quite a bit of it over the years.

F105poster here. Sorry for the late reply, I was in a gnarly wreck last night. Got broadsided by an Impala. 105MKII is looking pretty good so far. I wasn't expecting the twin rudder, but that would be a more modern feature. Proceed kind sir.

Anyway, I was drawing other stuff (still can't figure how to dress people in my near-future setting), but I'll get back to it asap. I was going to use a single rudder, but I remembered how they are murder when it comes to RCS, unless the stabilizers are angled like the F-4's. But that might look retro instead of modern, you call.

I think it's just the old one with bots for one mode now and a campaign, should've been a patch tbqh.

Thanks I'll give it a try if it's fun. I'm really curious about how it even control

>>183601027
I'm getting EX since it apparently has a short story mode

>>183601201
EX is the way to go, it's the upgrade. I think the only things missing from the old SV thing is that you can't select two different weapons, and they didn't add a cockpit mode for some odd reason.

That said it is a PS4 port, but I think the mouse controls and all are intact. I checked it just now and the old game is pretty much just mouse for pitch and yaw, roll with a and d, thrust is w and s and space switches to hover mode.

Pretty much just a descent like arena shooter with plane controls.

What are the odds of surviving an eject?

>>183613776
The official USAF success rate is 94.4% in envelope, and 89.9% including out of envelope ejections.

>>183614135
well gee, I don't see why Yellow 4 didn't just eject, either she loved her plane THAT much or she died when the missile hit, her plane fell for quite a while

>>183614608
its possible the explosion on the run way damaged the ejection function along with the engine of her aircraft

>>183614709
I was about to say, 13 mentions her plane was in disrepair, so it wouldn't surprise me if the ejection seat was damaged and she never bothered to repair it.

>>183614887
pretty sure the explosion that damaged her aircraft was right before they sortied for Stonehenge, so i doubt she had the time to

>>183614608
Of 189 ejections occurring below 450 KEAS, 24 (12-percent) resulted in a major or fatal injury. A major injury is considered broken limbs, except fingers and toes, internal injuries, and severe burns. There were 24 major and fatal injuries that occurred below 450 KEAS: 4 due to windblast, 1 due to ejection shock, 9 due to parachute landing fall, 6 due to ground impact (impacting the ground or other object during the ejection phase), and 4 being caused by items such as burns and hypothermia. All of the ejections that occurred above 450 KEAS since 1995 resulted in a major or fatal injury. Data show several injuries are occurring during the parachute‑landing phase and not during the initial ejection or windblast phase of the ejection.

Part (most) of the countries on the map don't exist in the games. Now I can't quite read the map, but there's shit like an Islamic country and generally gay and retarded states that as I said don't actually exist.

Does anyone have a hi-res version of the exhentai sad panda? I'm thinking about having a shirt printed that's done with like, dye immersion or whatever so that the whole thing is colored instead of just a box on the front.

But back on topic, since I just finished all routes on AC3 I was thinking of making a better version of the routes guide, since this one is plain minimalistic. That and perhaps a guide for emulating PSX games with Mednafen (possibly with Libretro/Vulkan libraries for better rendering) since it could turn away people from using it due to it having no GUI. I don't promise on actually delivering anything though, it all depends on my laziness.

With this I've drawn both American and European Flankers, as well as the WW2-style one. I'm not sure of what new sort of Flanker I could draw now.
Applying FSW to a Flanker ended up producing the Su-47, the S-54 through S-56 are the single engine ones, F-117 stealth shape would be a question of getting a screenshot of the Su-27 in hangar from one of the PSX games, rendered in wireframe mode... Right now I don't have any ideas.

Sprey is literally a delusional old man who has been proven wrong about almost everything every time.

This is a guy who thought that the f-5 was a better idea than the F-4, that the M60 was a better tank than the M1, that the F-15 was a bad plane, that every upgrade to the F-16 since block 1 was a mistake, and that the A-10 is a bad plane because it goes too fast and doesn't have a second seater.

Finding the entire Aigaion fleet (or at least one shipt of each class) in one picture hasn't been conclusive, the best picture being this one.
I'd need references for each ship at more or less the same angle to be able to properly show the liveries and portray them as accurately as possible.

Wasn't the F5 meant as a sexy cheap export fighter anyway? Why would anyone compare it to the F4?

>>183696065
The F-4 was also an export fighter.

Just found out there are stubs on the wiki titled P-1113 Kottos and P-1114 Gyges, not linked by any main article, that have much better pictures than the Kottos-class and Gyges-class articles. Now I need the Aigaion on a similar angle.

>>183696230
Cheap was the keyword up there. I don't know much about it but I'd wager the F4 went for more.

>>183696065
Sprey advocated that the USAF use hundreds of F-5As (no radar, or BVR capability) and adopt swarm tactics because you could build like 5 F-5s for the same price as 1 F-4 or similiar drivel.

>>183696023
I am exaggerating slightly, but during a conference in the 70s he supported some German stuka pilot who flew like 300 missions and said words like that.

He's on this show arguing against this plane, and yet he has no idea what he's talking about.
What a joke.

At times like this, it is perhaps in the best interests to link folks to the PhD dissertation that best dissects why Sprey is full of shit. If you don't have it already, point yourselves towards a dissertation from Auburn called The Revolt of the Majors. It should prove informative

oh shit I just threw away the cases to all my ps2 game last year

>>183693812
That's pretty interesting.
Playing AC so much you almost forget that dogfighting is never the preferred way to take out enemies. Even in AC it's much more work to dogfight than it is to shoot them down undetected and from afar. But you do get a lot of missiles to work with, so there's less incentive to play "realistically," I suppose, and enemy planes of course do crazy manoeuvres too, so that doesn't help!

>>183694520
Probably hinting at all the shady shit they implied about South America since that's where all of those enemy planes took off from

>>183699682

Guys, please help! I think I've got into the weird part of planes related art while browsing deviantart, and there is no exit!

>>183699682
Never throw your games or cases away!
I mean, for PS2 games it's less important I suppose, because it's just DVD cases. But still... old Nintendo and SEGA boxes for instance go for an incredible amount of money. I threw my old GB and N64 boxes away like ten years ago, and it was a mistake! ;_;
Not because I would like to sell them but because its simply nice to have that art, manual and everything. Like a time capsule in a way. That goes for PS2-era games too imo. PS1 cases are also rather special so they're valuable too.

Post-online consoles like the PS3 and Xbox360 can fuck off though. Their games are not valuable in my eyes!

I always thought the Kottos would look cooler if those gray panels were windows like pic related. But then again, it wouldn't make much sense, because a gigantic modern combat craft wouldn't need Zeppelin-tier observation decks.

>tfw no physical release of some of the games you'd really love to have
Guess I'll have to buy the PS3 version of VC at some point just to have a case because the PC one never got one.

I'm also always a bit cautious with amazon and whatnot, I'm never sure if I'm gonna get a box with it or not and if it's gonna be an Essentials reprint or whatever.

>>183701268
The 111 cockpit is comfy as fuck.

>>183611490
What aircraft should I feature with the Aigaion fleet, for Phoenix, Slash and Edge?

>>183702113
You talkin VC1, 2, or 3?

>>183703193
Might as well be Su-33s, seeing as how those are stationed on board anyway.

>>183703251
No scratch that, make it YF-22s.

>>183703194
I don't think the PC version of VC1 got a physical release.
Damn, was that a good game. Selvaria did literally nothing wrong.
A bit bummed out that the only aircraft in the series was the one Isara built.
How would one got about making a ragnite powered jet engine? Food for thought.
>>183703251
I think any carrier-capable fighter would be compatible, seeing how the Strangereal Su-33 can be launched by catapult.
>>183703383
I'd rather draw three different ones, for variety's sake.

VC1, which has the PS3 and PS4 boxes. I don't have 2 or 3 physically either, but they are PSP so they have boxes.

Shame Extra 3 goes for like 80.- new and none of the fuckers wrote if they include the box in the used ones.

>>183703584
Well she gives you Ruhm, which makes killing Maximilian so damn easy.

>jets
I'm all for WW1 propellers though or proper overkill WW2 stuff.

Jets shouldn't be hard, Ragnite seems to generate a fuckton of heat, given the radiators on tanks, that shit would aid with the jet. So you just get a ragnite engine to turn the turbine and then feed the air over the radiators for the heating.

So really it'd be a weird motorjet thing.

>>183704024
You only get the Ruhm after you do the DLC, iirc. I only did that after my first playthrough, so the fight was enjoyably hard.

tbqh, I was wondering where to stick the radiators on a Flanker. Take a wild guess as to what my planefu is.
The only reason I wasn't wondering about props is because it feels much more obvious to me, given that most prop planes have obvious exhausts.

>>183704536
Well you can kinda get him easily with Rosie or your shock trooper of choice and the attack boost order too, Ruhm just makes it easier because it has more shots and that absurd accuracy.

>radiators
I'd honestly forgo the exhausts on the props for the most part and actually stick the ragnite radiators where the regular rads are on those planes. on the prop above for example that'd be around the front spinner and in the wing roots.

I still have to make that mockup for a flying based VC at some point.

>rads on jets
I'd just put them around the nozzles, the whole circle. Like combustion chambers sort of, at least if you want to use them to help with the jet like I suggested above. Not like picrelated.

>>183701915
Please Dorn, that'd be beautiful.

>>183705192
What exactly is the combustion in jet engines for exactly? It's not reaction mass like in a spacecraft, as far as I can tell, given that the reaction mass of a jet is the input air when ejected as exhaust.
Is it just to (explosively) accelerate the airflow through the engine and keep the electrical systems running?

>>183707409
In the backlog. Frankly I prefer modern aircraft to older ones (mostly jets over props) and thus modernizing older aircraft, but messing around with the Flanker (the "MiG-11B"), the YF-23 and the F-117 has shown me the oposite is also a lot of fun. I think I'll use XB-35 like rotors.
On that topic, what would the oposite of "modernizing" be? "Downgrading" is wrong, "retrograding" might jus be a neologism I happened to make right now, "demaking" is a vidya term...

To heat up the air so it expands out the back, driving the turbine, which in turn drives the compressor, which sucks in more air to combust.

>>183707739
You're on the right track, but not quite all there yet. Combustion in a jet engine takes place in a very confined space in the rear of the engine, just before the turbines, exhaust assembly and nozzles. Fuel and air mix and ignite to generate a significant amount of extra gas volume, which is then directed out the back of the engines through turbines (to generate power and keep the compressors up front spinning) and nozzles (to focus the stream of exhaust into an even more forceful and thus more effective stream of air)

>>183708201
So the explosive nature of the combustible isn't, strictly speaking, needed acording to that model? You could theorically make it fully electric?

>>183708227
Though this explanations does shoot down my idea because a "turbo ducted fan" of sorts wouldn't be able to replicate the increase in gas volume.
