This will be a fun one, nice thing is the type being so early adds to the fun, the Mk F8 and FR-Mk9 will make for some very interesting paints

FWIW TacPack integration would make me open my wallet for this one (a superb model though it looks, don't get me wrong)

Yes it is Cees. I made it. It's a bit of a hobby, along with restoring old guitars. I call it the FrankenHofner. I used an old "new"stock Hofner factory neck grafted onto a new florentine cut hollow-body I've had kicking about for years. Anyway, lace-painted which was an idea I had from painting my old classic car, and loaded with Gibson goodness in pickups, controls, hardware etc. I made double sure of the set neck and with plenty of wood in the body, she just sings all-day.

Hmmm, that's too bad. I'd buy it in a heartbeat if it was.

Same here....as well as selectable drop tanks via wieght or a stores management panel. Would be fairly easy to implement the guns...just need to get the code into the sighting system for accurate aiming. Looks fantastic though!

Sorry but personally I am not a great TacPac fan. My personal opinion is that this simulator is a peaceful place to be where you can practice your aviation skills. It's not a combat sim. If people want combat, fly DCS where you can do it so much better. We make warbirds, yes, but because a) they are interesting subjects and b) it allows people to fly iconic and historic aircraft just as you would at a modern day airshow.

I respect your opinion, Bazz, but including TacPac gives people a choice.<o></o>

I like the warbirds JF and Baz have been building lately because that period in aviation is fascinating. So many developments in such a short time and they still didn't have all the answers so the aircraft are varied and have such different characters. Much more interesting to me than contemporary commercial aviation. All the best with the Meteor!

DCS is not really better. It has a very limited plane set and the few theaters it has are too small in size.
FSX has no limitation on theater size...you can literally fly around the world in almost any aircraft you want to fly.
Tacpack integration, especially on jet age aircraft, adds a new level of complexity within the cockpit.
Everything about these older jet fighters was difficult, including the weapons systems and some of us would like to experience these difficulties so we can see what the pilots were faced with.
If someone thinks that warfare and/or the military is so abhorrent that they cannot bring themselves to fly a weaponized aircraft within a virtual world, they don't have to. That's their choice as a free person and it should be respected....as should any other persons choice.
