Nice work mate, my EU faction is getting some quality wings, thank you for sharing!

Man, respect to the pilot in second video, those sharp turns G's were scary to watch even from the couch. Take that Mav, haha :D (I'm referring to Top Gun 9G)

Thank you, my friend, for your kind words! It´s nice to have someone expressing his appreciation for my hard work - all these jets have a long history of development and hundreds of hours of test flying and work incorporated. Obviously, there are not many people who enjoy my jets like you and me, but perhaps there will be more people in the future who discover, that flying jets can be good fun in BF2, too. Have a good time playing my addons in BF2 mate, thanks for commenting! ;)

You're very welcome buddy, that's why i'm saying thank to you for sharing! I know how many hours of testing, patience and most of all passion & love are dedicated to each of this birds.
I also wasn't interested in jets before, i was more of a Tanker, haha, my true love for jets/planes first started after downloading DoragonKong A10, just of curiosity, but when i saw what possibilities are open for modding/improving it really occupied my attention :).
Now, with your beautiful collection of jets i can spend whole match just in one them and enjoying every unique feature of it, filling like a real pilot over battlefield, haha, be it air to air combat or air to ground support...Keep it up my friend, be sure that you are leaving unforgettable signature on Battlefield 2 aviation ;) .

Great! That´s what I wanted - when I released my stuff: people like you, having lots of fun with these vehicles (like me) :D
Thanks for your comment, buddy!

Nice!
I'm still debating whether to include this in Dust - Combined Arms (3.1). I have a version that you shared a while back. If I go ahead I'll redo the pit.
Speaking of which, in the video I noticed that you have a shiny mirror like finish on the panel/coaming. That's due to a wrong shader technique which is referencing the envmaps.
Open the model in meshview and check the Geom 0. Set 'shader technique' to alphaNoHemiLight. That should fix it.

Great to hear, yes, please - I´m looking forward to a "gattobuonized" Gripen in your mod! The version that I gave you needs some more corrections though, I will do them for you, of course. In your version, roll rate is decreased for the bots to be able to carry out takeoffs, but in my new version I still have a high roll rate but restricted nose gear travel.
Thank you very much for the hint with the shader technique, now everybody who reads your comment can change it, if he wants to. Me personally, I like that glossy coaming - finally a clean dashboard unlike in my dirty car, haha - and I even don´t have to do any cleaning work :D

Ok. However, looking at the Gripen again I notice that in the version that you sent me the mesh is missing for the canopy, hence I can't add the reflections.
In the original file which is called 'huair_gripen' the canopy mesh is there. So I'll try renaming the original mesh and using it with your tweak file.
Also, remember that the runways are extended in my new version of Dust, so ai takeoffs are more successful.

P.S. I bet my car is filthier than yours! =)

Oh, I need to check on that bundledmesh - I might upload a corrected version with canopy then. Thank you very much for pointing out, I will check ;) And no, my car is way filthier, haha ;D
Edit: fixed version released (.1), this one has got a mesh for the cockpit in GEOM 0
