Hey,
a while back some guy posted shots of an IAI Lavi, I was wondering, how's it coming? can we see some shots?

That guy would be me, and the model is coming along nicely. Basic model almost done, I'm now working mainly on the textures. I send it to Dan (TLUK) to export it to Fs2002 for a first "test drive".....
I don't want to guess when it will be released, but it will probably be for Fs2002/04.
You want a screenshot? you should wait until Dan will be done (hehe

) with it and send it to me. Meanwhile, look here. The background is real ofcourse but the model wasn't modified (excpet for the canopy that until it will be transparent I put a picture on it)

Do you like it?

The model is looking nice, erez. Good job .... now comes the hard part of getting the details, flight dynamics .... etc etc

Oh yeah........
What do you mean by saying "getting the details"? like, do it myself or need to get information?
I have no idea on flight dynamics...... I will ask a permission for a air file of an F-16 by it's author and modify it I guess......

he means getting all kinds of see-through bugs out of the model, removing unnecessary polygons if possible and tweaking the airfile (very difficult)

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

That's when you're going through your model in all possible ways and suddenly you find yourself looking through the model where you shouldn't be - in the middle of the fuselage you see "pinholes" where the two edges of adjoinging parts aren't quite "joined"....

Basically, we're talking about the picky details that take up a lot of time.
