ValAstur's What-if Hangar

[GTX_Admin]

A Taiwanese F-106 would look great.

Is it just me, or does that JASDF F-100 look absolutely beautiful and absolutely right....?

Italian F-15s shan't be a problem. Gimme some time.

For creating a F-106 of the ROCAF I'd need to have both the aircraft and template for the creation of the mod.

Which aircraft would you like to see in ROCAF outfit?

For creating a F-106 of the ROCAF I'd need to have both the aircraft and template for the creation of the mod.

One (labelled as up to the newest Strike Fighter 2 standard) is available on CombatACE forum.  I've downloaded a copy if no-one else has an account or wants to go through the trouble of registering.

I have a few ideas (all in air superiority camo unless specified otherwise)- first, the "kinda plausible" ones:

• Mirage IIIC
• Harrier (unless you have Sea Harrier in your library; in both air superiority and maritime camos, the latter camo scheme for anti-ship bombing over South China Sea)

Now veering into the "outright crazy" category:

• F-14A
• F-15A
• PLAAF B-52D (the pre-requisite for ROCAF F-14A or F-15A to happen)

Attached is camo templates for F-104G (air superiority) and S-2E&T (maritime) to derive the patterns from.  Colour palette for air superiority camo is on the top-right corner of F-104G sheet; S-2E and S-2T templates are from the internet, but while S-2E sheets don't have colour palette, S-2T sheet does.

I was going to ask if you have Mirage 4000 in your line-up, but then I found out that one is WIP on CombatACE forum, too, so I guess my request on that one will wait until it's done......

Can you change the aircraft itself in that program ? ie put an F-104 T-tail on a Phantom etc.

A quick mod to ValAstur's Corsair-II for an upper-ventral intake .....

Those look great: well done.  :)

Due to the quality of the stuff displayed...... is there any ROCAF (Taiwanese) what-if in the line-up you have?  :)

Not yet, but there is always the possibility to change that  :)

It is not possible to change ingame aircraft...you can add things, but not change 'em.

I'm registered to that site with the same nick, but due to technical trouble with ISP, I'm not able to reach that site.

I know that one. The guy called Spinners is a colleague of mine. We both are pretty active over at Combatace.

Check PM (the newer one).  Let's see if there is one more item to add into the potential of that possibility.  :)

Hey folks

Sorry for not having been around a while. Real lifeŽ keeps me busy.

Please specify what air superiority camo you exactly mean. All in all grey? Or the one sported by the AIDC Ching Kuo:

I meant to say the two-tone grey one as used by the F-104 and F-5 (see here).

The camo scheme of Ching-Kuo is likely used to emphasize a low- to medium-altitude air combat role within airspace over or closely around Taiwan itself (in real-life because Mirage 2000 would handle high-altitude interception).  I couldn't help to wonder if ROCAF F-14 or F-15 would have somehow tried to adopt a more-aggressive stance against PLAAF B-52......

======================================================

Actually, now that you brought up the one used by Ching-Kuo......

Maybe make this (backstory: licence production secured after fall of Soviet Union but before Sino-Russia reproachment) three-dimentional as well?

I have a few more ideas, but as they require aircraft that don't seem to be included in the stock game, I think I'll wait for the current queue of requests from me to clear and try not to cut off others who might want to make their own requests, too......
