And she looks sexier than ever! Grin

F-15SX Silver Eagle (F-15+F-22 fusion)
One year ago:

Today I got one of the duzens of textures from Mike Durao:

And doing the pugachev's cobra. The canards drop when you make this maneuver.

Cheesy

Here's an old video of it in action:

At 4:05 minutes it shows it doing the cobra.

Now the bad news: No VC at all. I mean it has a simple VC like, grabbing the outside view cockpit and putting a camera inside it. It has only one gauge which is the HUD and nothing else... This airplane was ment to be a testbed for experimenting with custom XML codes for animations and never saw the light of day (this meaning that it was never released). Embarrassed

A very similar F-15 really existed, about 30 years ago. It has an early form of thrust vectoring nozzles, and a horizontal tail from an F-18 used for canards.

Are you still working on it? And BTW you Don't hear lara croft meow You Hear A loud Bang Cool

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Eheh, yeah!
Well, the plane has been basicaly done for more than an year, since it's only purpose was for me to have some sort of testbed for the custom FS9 animations, but then I made a video where the plane appears a few times and Mike (texture artist) told me: "Hey you convert that to FSX and I'll make textures for it!" So I converted it... But it has no VC.
