Viggen

[Snail]

Nice to see it’s the first aircraft to appear in the tactical reference, but are there plans to add the Viggens as (flyable) aircraft?

[Guest]

Yep Snail Viggen is playable only write in list names ;). Also if you want to add new model can i do. PM

This thread gets the Oden Seal of approval.

(Snail, let me know if you succeed)

[Naldo]

I think that we do not have a .dat for it.

In the past, there was permission to use the FreeFalcon Viggen files for Open Falcon. But since then, there have been FF upgrades of the aircraft. So I guess the Viggens from FF3 and RV times (incl. dat files) could be used (and tweaked) but to be sure I will consult some persons. For the cockpit files I will have to check others (the AJ37 won’t be a problem, I guess ) Hi Oden, nice to see you here!

Hi there Snail…long time my friend!

[Snail]

Hey Weezer, you’re still around? Indeed long time no see! How are you?

[PumpyHead]

Hi Frits,

It’s been a long time since we’ve chatted, but FWIW you have permission to use the edits I made to the models.

Cheers.

[Snail]

Hi Pumpy, good to see you too

Kinda Viggen reunion here Thanks for your permission.

I hope this Swedish thunderclap will make it into BMS.

[Snail]

Update: I got the necessary permissions to use Viggen files from FreeFalcon in BMS. So it might get out of the TacRef into the ‘real’ 3D world

Anything Viggen = Snail

Open Dictionary to Viggen and there’s pic of Snail.

Go to LLTM and Snail shoot Viggen.

I love you Fritz.:D

Hehe, to a certain extent you’re right there

For me: nothing beats a low level ingress this way:

A lot of tweaking to do, but every long journey begins with the first step:

And à very Nice step it is!

Looking great.

Thanks, but this was no more than removing two slashes (//) from a file: the models are already available.

Next steps:

Adjusting animations (611-Eagle will look into that: currently the landing gear does not respond to g or alt-g)
Adding a 3D cockpit (qawa is willing to do that: he made the 3D Viggen cockpit for use in FreeFalcon and hopefully it can be made functional in BMS too)
Copy and rename some existing weapons (e.g. AIM-9L = RB-74, AIM-120B = RB-99, AGM-65A = RB-75)
Adding new items, like the 1275li tank, U-95 and U-22 jammer; rocket pods, BK-90 GPS-guided cluster munitions, 120kg fragmentation bombs (the AJS-37 can carry 16 of them), BOZ-100 ECM pod and maybe an Aden cannon pod if that’s not available yet (haven’t checked).
Of course all this in cooperation with the dev team: I don’t know if the whole wishlist is possible.

In short: a sh*t load of work, especially for an unexperienced modder like me
