too cool to be true

[Xpand]

Thanks!

[Kurosaki]

I'm really impressed by everything this guy has turned out. Really looking forward to Thanksgiving/Christmas break and some F-22 action . Xpand, did you happen to create an "Aurora" as well? (file name/folder name "ui4054_aurora" that came in a package with some other planes?)

[Xpand]

Thanks!
I made the Electrosphere pack, yes!
About the F-22: Because I'm making it with a friend, and he's not finished with the textures yet I can't say much about the release time... sorry...

[Kurosaki]

Hey thats alright. I read over your progress on the other forum. Your Aurora however...I managed to convert it to an FS9 compatible version and wanted to see if I could release it? I've got two fictitious paints that i wanted to use for AI going in and out of my Area 51 site. (VC etc..all still works)




They're about 80% done, meaning they may need some flight dynamic adjustments and effects...but otherwise love em'. Its really the only released Aurora out there that I've found which looks like the common/decided upon concept design (http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thr ... )..anywise, I'll stop hijacking this thread.

[Xpand]

Yeah, you can release it as long as you give credit for the model!

Actually that Aurora, along with the other planes in the pack, is a replica of the 1999 PS1 game: Ace Combat 3 Electrosphere.

This looks so much like a mixture of the two aircraft in the movie "Stealth"!

The canopy of EDI (top), and the general shape of the other:


I love those aircraft

[Xpand]

Thanks! Yeah it does seem like a bit of a mixture between both, but these planes are inspired by marine mammals! (mostly the dolphin) :mrgreen:

It almost scared me on how fast and manoeuvrable when I flew them (Electrosphere package). Great work

[Xpand]

Thanks!

[Xpand]

Is that a good or a bad thing? :mrgreen:

How about this test video?
