F-116 Peregrine, now in two flavors: United States Air Force and Fuerza Aérea Mexicana!




(yeah, the contrails are missing in these screenshots, I know. It's just a skybox text mission)

The Mexican one is an NPC fighter designed for a specific mission.

EDIT: Cockpit view, provided by a special Peregrine model with invisible glass, set as the cockpit POF:

No, I just used a model of the fighter with invisible glass as the cockpit POF.

Everyone is posting screenshots from their dogfight mods, so I will do the same.

Nice countermeasure and external weapons.

Especially those long-rifles, much sexy.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
When I first started on Wings, there were no super-fast aerial dogfight mods for FreeSpace that had announced or posted anything. Now there are at least three.

What monster have I created? :shaking:

Can I has countermeasure flare please?

I see you're using Nuke's attitude gauge... interesting.

Re: A celebration of Freespace

3 pure atmospheric mods, BTRL with hi-vel flight model (though it's half as fast as them) and one TC mod I'm making that uses flight model similar to Wings, but with Sushi's enchancements for TBP applied (for space flight of course, in atmosphere it's more similar to standard flight model used in Wings).

What monster have I created? :shaking:
I was seaching for more realistic flight model that will be still playable on FS2_Open and Wings proivided sample values that were both realistic and fun to fly.
After I converted my mod to this flight model I found that Steve'o's ships look a bit like fighter planes and decided to make an atmospheric mod using them (I'm on BP team, so I have access to a lot of Steve'o's stuff).

Can I has countermeasure flare please?
It seems to be quite popular, considering that ShadowGorrath also asked me for it.  :)
You will have to use $Countermeasure type: in ships.tbl, as it won't replace standard countermeasure.
I will send it to you via PM.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Well --Steve-O--'s ships were purposely made that way, their descriptions even say they're atmosphere capable. :P


HAHAHAHA RETAIL HELL!!! ;7

And what is it in my post that so offends you? :doubt:

Can't take a suprise transition from FSO to the good Classic FreeSpace 2 with a little bit of humor? :rolleyes:

Hmmm... I think it was the part where you called it "Retail Hell"

Re: A celebration of Freespace
When I clearly hinted that I wasn't being serious about bashing it by adding laughter and a ;7 smiley at the end? If that's not enough evidence that I'm just messing around then you can't handle humor, and reconsider who needs to be the one gtfo'ing.

Plus as of recently I've been one of the few people adding more screens to the thread, as I appreciate playing FreeSpace as much as I do to get these screens. :rolleyes:

Re: A celebration of Freespace
Hohey there guys.
All those screenshots are really nice !

And well uh, i got a question <_<
Talking on IRC, someone told me Nuclear made a mod where you're a gunner rather than a pilot oO
Which mod is this, and is it playable ? :s
Well.... if it really exists.

Re: A celebration of Freespace
It wasn't Nuclear, it was Nuke (Yes, we have several radioactive and highly explosive people here), and the mod in question has not been released to the public yet. There are a few youtube videos (like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvqOrDJUyCU ), but nothing playable.
