All i want for Christmas is the Atlas Cheetah
-
Good day gentlemen and heroes of BMS.
I come here with a heavy heart. Is there any way that a Atlas Cheetah ( developed in South Africa in the late 80’s) can be modded into BMS?
The one I am talking about is here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Cheetah. and with a color scheme like this : http://www.modelmaker.com.pl/HTK-AS50-South-African-Air-Force-paint-set-vol-1/1036/?i=enIf it is going to be too much trouble, then please don’t go out of the way for me, but if it is possible and easy to make, i will be forever grateful.
Thank you guys (Falcon BMS and BMS mafia and all other making this the best sim there is) for everything!
Kind regards,
Michael.

@Miek Hello Miek,
Your project is interesting. Some points :
-
Atlas cheetah is nothing more than a modified Mirage III, derived from /Nesher/Kfir, with an ATAR9K50… So, in the end, a Mirage III. Because it’s a niche aircraft, I feel that it shall be integrated into a Mirage III package, as the one I am thinking about for some months: Mirage IIIE/S/O/5F/5BA/Kfir C2/C10/Atlas Cheetah.
-
The livery that you describe is the one in use on SAAF Mirage F-1AZ. As far as I know, Cheetah never used it, so, it’s a sort of what-if.
-
Don’t you think that a realistic would be better :
- There is two kinds of Cheetah : single seater and twin seater :
Which one would you prefer ?
- Last point : out of BMS dev team, there is other talented creators who do not belong Other Fighter Mafia, and might be the one who could make your dream come true…
Best regards,
Radium

@Aragorn Yeah, but I don’t like the idea of a hierarchy between third parties, like level I, level II etc… There is a lot of talented persons everywhere !

Could it be a good start for resurrection of SAAFOps/Angolan theatre?

What is sure is that I would love to make an Atlas Carver (drawing board project) :
Cheers,

@Radium Thank you very much for your reply.
my replies is as follows :
1)You are correct in what you say.
2) The Cheetah never did. I wanted to remake the border war and also wanted the Cheetah, and asking for a whole campaign of the Angolan border war would be just too much. So I just wanted to play around with it and have that color scheme to match.
3) Yes, realistic is always best, but as I pointed out in point number 2, I just wanted to play around with it.
4)The twin seater is the Trainer to get the pilots ready for the Cheetah C, so I would prefer the Cheetah C, single seater.
5) I understand what you are saying, I don’t know about all the others and thus I said :‘‘all others’’. So obviously i am not placing anyone in a hierarchy, I am just naming the ones I know. But thank you for the info my friend.Keep safe and have a lovely day further.
KR.
Michael.

@Radium
OOOHHH this would be soo cool! -
I would have loved to have it as a campaign. But I know it is a hell of a job so that is why I asked for the cheetah with the border war colors, I just wanted to remake it using the KTO map. hehehe but dude, if they can make this campaign, i will definitely cry like a flippen baby from excitement.
Keep well my dude!!

I don’t like the concept of hierarchy, either. Fortunately, I don’t really see one. As Radium wrote, there are a lot of talented people out there. I think it’s more a matter of differing priorities. Radium, for example, is a prime example of such talented people. I have reached out to him to discuss collaboration. That he chooses his own path is completely respected.
Since the Mafia has been mentioned, let me to take this opportunity to share something and to make an offer. These are my personal views, but I think my fellow Mafia Brothers will agree. We will work with anyone, for the simple reason that the more people working a problem, the better the result.
The offer is, whether you want to collaborate or not, is that we are happy to include any reworked jet into OFMKTO and/or OFM-Balkans. The only proviso is the necessary one that it works with our database. -
On Angolan theater, i just notice our old friend McEvan back and move to DCS.

What is impressive is that all of this is a little French fighter aircraft, called Mirage III, from early 60s !
