Looking for 2 aircraft(F-15 and passenger jet)

Has anyone ever seen an F-15 ACTIVE plane for fs2002, or preferably fs2004-acof? Here's a link to the NASA Dryden photo-sheet of this aircraft-

The other plane I was hoping to find, but as of yet been unsuccessful, is a HOOTERS air passenger jet. I don't know the manufacturer or model of the HOOTERS aircraft. Here's a link to a picture-

I hope someone here can help me out in finding these, or tell me that they don't exist so I don't bother continuing to look. Thanks.

A re-paint of the default 737-400 in the Hooters colors can be found here

As far as the F-15 ACTIVE (or the F-15F as Dale Brown would call it) is not out, however find a good F-15 here and email the builder of it. I doesnt look like it would be all that hard to modify a plane

Shouldn't be hard to build the F-15 ACTIVE at all... the canards are actually the horizontal stabs from a F-18 Hornet (with very slight modifications).

Thank you loomex for pointing the Hooters Airline out to me. I don't understand how I missed it. Guess I'll have to look more carefully next time.

At least I wasn't blind enough to miss the F-15ACTIVE. Is this how planes like this are typically requested? I don't want to sound presumptuous by asking someone who has put time into a F-15 model and ask them to just change it. Can anyone tell me what the most appropriate model to revise would be? I am not familiar with what a 'gmax' aircraft is(that I have seen specified). Is a 'gmax' aircraft preferable to other styles? Or is it just another way of building up a model of a given aircraft?

In your case, its a fairly easy mod to make. Converting a B377 to a superguppy is a task. I dont think that you are being presumptuous by asking.  It never hurts to ask, and if you get a no, go to another builder. I have found the for the most part builders dont mind doing an easy mod like that.

Gmax and FSDS2 are the current ways to build for FS2002/2004. You will get opinions about both. Mine is GMax confused the hell out of me so I use FSDS2. Gmax tends to be a lttle bit easier on frame rates, especaily as an AI plane.

First off, thanks for the help thus far. I appreciate it. I sent an email to the person whose email address I found in the F-15. I haven't received any response.

If it turns out that I am unable to reach this person, what would be the next step? Are there people here who can do these types of conversions? Or is it more appropriate that I just forget about it? I don't want to breach any bit of etiquette that should be adhered to.

I haven't heard back from the person who made the F-15. Does anyone know what F-15 model is the current favorite? If it is a differnet one then I will try to contact them.

Otherwise, do I just forget about this?
