if they aint, the swastica is pointing to the wrong side, and the markings on the side of the fuse need to be revised....as far as i know they were a bit thicker, the swastica goes on a 45o angle and it looks like a S....

yeah I have been meaning to make those changes for a while now, and, now that I think of it, I think I did mirror the sawastica Roll Eyes

Nice pics. Roll Eyes

However I think the war bird looks better than the F-18. Just my opinion. The F-18 looks good but I'm not paying for it. I know it takes a lot of work to make these but it is for a GAME! you don't need to keep making money off of an aircraft that you made for FUN! Oh, Well. Have a good one!

For many this is way more than a "game"! It is your choice if you buy it (or don't), I have quite a bit of payware, and I don't regret any of it. If this was just a game to everyone I don't think FSD, Dreamfleet, LAGO, Simflyers, etc, would be around, but then again, you'd probably be happy then.

Guys, the Stuka looks sweet!! I agree, the stuke looks better than the hornet and with the other ones coming out it will be hard to sell, but it looks good, great job guys!

thats odd... because we worked on the stuka for 1.5 weeks, and the f-18 for nearly a year... Roll Eyes

maybe its just the texture ??? later on, we may post some pictures showing every aspect of the hornet, including panel, vc, landing gear, contrails, and all 6 liveries

oh, and I dont know if it will be too hard to sell if we finish ours first Grin

because it looks like the others still have a ways to go Tongue

thats very true. you guys should go for the speed record then to get more customers Wink

Anyways Lago though will obviously make it with much more schemes and payloads...and I3D will make a huge pack out of it (or so i believe..) with C, E, and F models and many schemes. I think their C model is close to being done though...anyways good luck sellin it, it looks excellent very nice work

Actually, I3D is i believe about done with their hornets. and i think the pack includes the F/a-18C/D/E /and F. not sure. will find out later. but their models franklly look better and have way better textures. (almost complete by the pics on the forums).

take care,&&

OK, I think they both look great. Personally, I think the model of the F-18 looks better but I like the Stuka better overall (probably because I prefer WWII planes over anything else). Anyway, I was curious as to what program those are built in-I was thinking it was GMAX but I'm not sure-is it?

I wish I could afford to buy the F-18 but I won't be able to (I'm currentl pumping every spare dime I have into a car project) but I will download the Ju87. Can't Wait!

What? GMAX offers better performance than either version of FSDS.

By the way, as far as the Stuka's markings go, the Swastika is too thin, and you can reference it with this:

As for the markings, you can compare/contrast with this image:

The full sized image is at some Japanese site.
