Title: The Right SLUFS.
Post by: Nefarious on July 11, 2008, 08:11:47 PM

Been toying with the newest Add-on aircraft from the Mirage Factory, They model very high detailed Aircraft for the Strike Fighters Series. Here is a look at the new A-7 Model itself, very well done.

This is my A-7E, loaded up for a CAS mission to somewhere in the Quang Tri province, 1971.

When I got there, I knew I should of listened to "Snoopy" the Forward Air Controller, the VC and NVA did have AAA in the area. That's one tough SLUF.

And finally, here were are some years later on our way to strike targets fleeing Kuwait, 1991. In my late model A-7E, with updated avionics.

Unfortunately my graphics card does not do the model justice here, but it very well built and has several animations. I am having an issue loading ordinance and MF did try and help, but they couldn't figure it out. So I have edit the loadout.ini's to get the ordinance I want loaded correctly.

Another issue is there is no radar due to the updated SF engine for Wings over Israel. You have to have WOI to have the radar work and since I have Wings over Vietnam, I have to wait for a patch that brings all of the older versions up to date.

I sure am having fun with the Strike Fighters series, the Community Addons are superb and although there is no online features, the Community designed campaigns are fun too. If you have any of the SF series games this new A-7 from MF is Excellent.  :aok

Those look really nice.  It is amazing how far PC graphics have come since the early days.  Very nice!
