F-16 BLOCK 60/52 WITH DORSAL SPINE
-
Hi Zelegend,
It looks to be one of the ones I modeled; however, I recently learned that JanHas made a series of F-16’s that he released as “Launch Vipers” so it’s possible that he may have made it. If you send me the LOD, I can tell you if it is one of the ones I worked on. And if so, you may use it and make modifications as you need as long as it complies with the original EULA included with it (basically, don’t sell it or use it in a comercial product).Well that’s great news!
It’s the model included with RedViper, I’ll send you the LOD so you can confirm.

JanHas made a ‘big spine’ F-16D Block 52 (no CFTs, though…) for the Aegean Theatre available for OpenFalcon; the model is up to the standards of his original LaunchVipers mod. If I understood him correctly, the new LV pack he’s making for BMS will also include this F-16 version, so you might want to hold on a bit longer until he releases it.

Do you now how it is looking for the new LV ?

To be honest, I have no idea, spooky. He posted a few screenshots of his reworked models in the topic’s thread. I’m hoping he’s making good progress
@ZELEGEND: here are JanHas’ “Aegean Vipers” from my old OF4.7 installation for further reference (which I still keep for some reason despite the fact it won’t run under Win7 - the LODs won’t display correctly in LE, either, but I hope you get the idea):

Oh, I found an old in-game screenie in my OF4.7 pictures folder!
I’m sure Jan is upgrading all of his F-16 models but if you’re in a hurry you could ask him for permission to include this one in your theatre. The -D model does not include CFTs but the HAF single-seater does, so maybe Pumpy could get the CFTs from the -C model and apply them to the -D, I don’t know. This model looks better and has a lot more detail than the FF one (it used to be my favourite in OF4.7). I too would like to have a two-seater F-16 with dorsal spine, conformal fuel tanks and all the bells and whistles of a modern Viper version in BMS!

Hi Chris
Many thanks for the info!
Im just DREADING the idea of having to convert 50+ F16 skins to fit Janhas new F16 model texture mapping.
Total DREAD

Just to put some light here, JanHas HAF D model with the dorsal spine DID NOT have the CFTs back in OF4.7 stone age because of polygon limitations on the model, he preferred not to assign CFTs to the model in order to better model the 2nd cockpit and spine.
Now in BMS that there are no such tight limitations, expect to see this baby fully armed = dorsal spine, CFTs plus other new stuff.

BMS Israel Theatre has F16 with CFT and Spines.
Just be aware they are F16Is, with slightly less thrust/power than the CJs you’re used to running with.

Thanks for the heads-up.

man, the aesthetic of those f-16 are fugly.

Wonderful, i’ve always loved painted teeth on fuselage.
