Nothing new, just for the eyes…

(OK, drop tanks would deserve some love… 3dmodel should come from disco age and has been Ok for ATARI or Comodore, but I think our PC could support a bit more triangles)

Nordic, I do not know if in reallive this was possible, …but what the heck, a beautiful picture

nice pic.

BTW,

1. you need HMS Eagle.
2. an idea comes to me : navy phantoms can lengthen nose gear for takeoff - it seems doable by adding a TDOF98 on nose gear strut. like lowering the launch bar, the TDOF98 could lengthens nose gear.

Good idea…I do not know how to do that, but lengthen the nose gear is that also possible for a dutch F-5A/b model??

Alright i’ve done the test…as i expected, it won’t work.

adding a nesting TDOF98 to gear strut compression part, can extend the strut - but it won’t make ac pitch-up, the extended strut and wheels just go down into ground. reason is nose gear Z value is a fixed number in fm.dat, not dynamic.

to achieve complete nose-up visual effect, it needs an old trick - XDOF (98) the whole ac model and make it rotate along Y axis, pivot at bottom of deployed mainwheel. plus TDOF98 nose strut lengthening.

and yes F-5A/B can use the trick to pitch-up.

892 NAS disbanded 15 Dec 1978.
RAF Tristar KC1 entered service 24 Mar 1986

They didn’t grey up till many years later as well.

But as you say. Nice picture.

P.S. I remember the Ark Royal hangar for 892 when I was at RAF Leuchars in 1979!
