I see three major differences: (unless you planned it that way)
1.) you have 3 rear intakes versus the depicted 4. The back of the raised cockpit has to go all the way back and divide the rear section with 2 vents per side. you have it ending before the vent in the middle of the three.
2.) The flaps for the air brakes are not defined (probably going to be added as a texture later on I would guess at this point).
3.) You side intakes are totally off. Doesn't help you got three diff ref sources and 1 of them differs greatly (the angled part of the outer side sloping downward towards the wings while the fuselage side is flat).
That's my impression.
Well the missiles are house internally, as for the guns, I don't know if the Ferret would have had guns, the F-119 doesn't. For the starship version, possibly under the intakes, only real place thats thick enough.Never heard of the F-119 - did you mean the F-117? BTW, I like the way the stealth F-22 does the trick - they house the gun in a port that opens when the gun fires, and then closes afterwards. Keeps it stealthy... I'm sure Stealth would love that.

Nope. Google for a video of it being tested; it's cool. 8)Aha...interesting! Yes indeed there is a door. I think the old method was what I was reading about proposed back with the YF-22. Obviously things have moved along. No wonder its so bloody expensive! :D
Impressive as usual. :nod:QFT.

*grumble* I just know this is going to suck me into wikipedia for 3 hours now...
edit: as I guessed, Tom Clancy's book was written before the F-117 was public knowledge, hence why he would have used the F-19 instead. He didn't know any better (or couldn't let the public know he did).
Wikipedia entry for the F-19 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-19)
I have this toy (http://www.fantastic-plastic.com/TESTORS%20F-19%20STEALTH%20PAGE.htm)
According to the F-117 article also on Wikipedia, F-19 was the assumed designation for the next fighter in development because the last plane to enter service was the F-18 Hornet. The plane people know as the F-19 however, was nothing like the F-117 in that it lacked many of the noticeable stealth enhancements the F-117 has, such as no curved surfaces.
Actually no, not really. The game play was very similar, but it had an entirely new engine that looked and performed heads and shoulders above the original. New campaign layouts that reflected more current events. You cold fly the "real" F-117 or Microprose's version that was less stealthy but had a M-61A1 20mm gun. I had F-117 on 486.
The F-19 I had on Comm 64 was mostly wireframe models in monochrome. On PC it was color, sort of, but still mostly wireframe. Amiga was better, but not by much. Back in those days it was more about gameplay, than graphics. Betters graphics tech was available, but few could afford the rigs required for it.
I was going off what I read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-19_Stealth_Fighter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-19_Stealth_Fighter).

EDIT: Ooooohhhhh... Is that WCS? The targeted ship is kinda wonky in the target box, though.Sure enough looks like some as-of-yet-unknown-to-me Kilrathi ship, it's silhouette on the shield indicator matches nothing I've so far heard of... And it's name says "Ratoth", though it's not obvious if that's the shipclass or just the designation of this specific in-mission-ship; though that name sounds more like something from the B5 Narn to me then something from the Kilrathi... :nervous:
The Ra'toth is gevatter Lars design, I just created the model for it.Hm... don't know much of Arena, but Priv2's a bit too far for me (besides the fact that I never could really get it to run - DOS-PC was too slow [read: 30 minutes for landing :ick:] and didn't like the movies, Win-PCs never had working DOS for me, and neither DOSBox nor the WinPatch did help very much yet :sigh: ) - I'm mostly interested in the continuation of the Nephilim conflict, Wasteland Incident for example. Too sad they didn't finish the trilogy that Prophecy was intended to be the first chapter of - I know I would have bought the other two... :(
Majority of my work is post-Prophecy, in fact near the time Privateer 2 should have occured 2700 and around the time of arena.
but I won't pay more then 5 bugs, if at all, for this kind of game.
