The best guy to do a lanc skin would be kev hes already done one so knows all the bugs and problems with it.i dont know if he can get the sharks mouth on the engines due to stretching and mirroring.

kev would be the one to ask but i think at the moment he is MIA not seen him in the game or on the BBS of late.

hope hes alright.

I was out at the museum last month. They had just installed a new Merlin, and were doing the brakes. Very cool to see that Lanc openned up. I saw it fly several years ago at the airshow at CFB Trenton.

Just been real busy, hoping to get on sometime Monday to have a fluegel or two.

Now the bad news -

That Lanc can't be done.
I had already tried it.
Problem - The engine sides, from the bottom to the top is only ONE pixel, two at best. HORRIBLE stretching.

Thinking about it, I'll drop HT a quick email, and make sure it doesn't happen when the Lanc gets round to being re-modelled.

Plus I've been working on this for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Non flyable, just for AI.

Built totally in FSDS v3

LOL, would never work, I tend to work on it when I have spare time or the 'urge'.
Although this one I want to finish as there's no AI low poly Swedish aircraft at all for FS2004.
Also trying to make it compatible with FSX.

LOD's are taking a while because of the unusual shape.

But got a guy testing it on an old machine -
In its current form (still 3 LODs to do) he's getting 25fps with 21 of them on the ramp.

Once LODs are done its onto different variants.

Isn't the APU vent on the Gripen higher up toward the tail? :D

Looks like the front vent should be higher, I will change it.
