I made progress with the xml scripts 

No 861 takeoff with full droptank....





Landing with no droptank (empty). also the chute are deployed





c+c welcome!

Sweeet! Looking good Jakes!

Thanks! I forgot to add the alpha channel on the color parts here   :-X

Wow, that's cool!
Are you planning on adding weapons?

Looks really nice! 

Nice work jake! Do the tanks automatically drop when they are empty or can u control when they drop?

By dropping, I mean they are visible or not visible. and it is controlled via the fuel quantity of the external 1 tank. It is visible when the tank is full, and once thetank runs empty, it is not visible. The problem here is one can either animate an object, or toggle the visibility. I can make it physically drop, but then the tank will always be visible, and will "float" in the back. I am not an expet on XML scripts, so this will have to do for now!

Yes Raptor F22, I am just waiting for photo's of the weapons , then I will start adding them!

Awesome!
I can't wait to add this one to my hanger!
I wonder how the guys at section8 got the F-86 tanks to drop. :-?

[edit]I think the Cheetah looks really cool in this scheme, any chance you might do it?[/edit]

There are ways to make them drop. But I am still learning how. For now it is more than I expected, so I am pleased!

The color scheme you mentioned here, is on the Cheetah C, and is called Vlaggie. The one I am working on is the "vlaggie" version of the D, and is called the Bandit. For now I try just to replicate the existing aircraft, but maybe someone will be interested in doing the color scheme you mentioned! 

Very nice! I'm eagerly anticipating its release! Keep up the good work!
