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!  :D
