Many thanks and great skins by you

It's indeed the M2M conversion that has been sitting in a dark corner of my hangar for a while. Currently simplaza seems to be the only place it can be found, I can't find it on FS.2 anymore. I'm not sure why it's gone elsewhere, like the IIIC.
Its flightmodel does not feel quite right, but it sure looks good.
Ànd I found a paintkit, so here's a Greek paint:

I did the Google search with no luck. I found many repaints but no aircraft. There was one on SimPlaza with a 2 hour wait to download. I am old with not that much time to wait. Also did a search on Flightsim.to with no luck.

See if this works for you.

That DOES look good Jan Kees ! Thanks !

Yes,
I have asked SC Design when the F-5 package will be released, but no answer

I asked this weekend and got this answer, which made me hold off on buying the Venom Zero which was tempting me with its low price and inclusion of a Canadian model.

Flight testing almost complete so preparing for launch in February somewhere. Flight model very detailed and tested by a 1500 hour former USAF T38 driver so it's taken some time to further improve it.

The SC Designs cockpit looks dramatically better.

If it was just the cockpit not looking hi-res I might still grab Venom Zero, since ZSoltB's exterior paints look so great. But convincing flight modeling is super important for me, and it sounds like it doesn't do well in that department.

Thanks for the attempt Javis, I saw this as the first entry with the Google search but it is only a texture file with no aircraft. It seems to have disappeared from FlightSim.to.

The Venom Zero sounds like a fan jet. I think the sound set is from something like a Citation. It uses a F-16 HUD. While convenient, I never heard of a F-5 with a HUD.

'Arc en ciel' indeed..:

Landed at Tillamook and found this nice little addon that the Asobo team left here. Unfortunately nothing modeled inside the hangar but the walls. Too bad as that's a cool little aviation museum there.

Gentlemen, good day to you.

As someone who owns the Venom's F-5, I thought I would chime in and correct some gouge.

1) I really do not think the cockpit is bad. It looks pretty good to me. Not DCS standard but it is definitely not as bad as people make it sound
2) It does not use Citation sounds, believe it used F/A-18E Super Hornet Sounds
3) There is a gunsight. HUD is totally optional and can be switched on/off just like the gunsight
4) HUD is that of Asobo F/A-18, not Viper

The package has both the E and the F-5A. If you follow the developer, he is about to release another free update that will include AiM-9B on the F-5A as well as optional Refuel Probe.

My only real criticism is the flight model. Think it can use some work. It flies fine but can definitely use some fine tuning at higher speeds. Then again, I don't know as I (like 99% of simmers) have never flown an F-5. My only reference is DCS.

Yes, i just noticed that too, bummer ! Sorry !

I tried another but that one has you waiting for an hour or more or pay up.... Then again according to Jan Kees it does look great but the flightmodel is not so maybe it's not worth the trouble...

Again sorry for having made you happy with a dead sparrow.. (famous Dutch saying.. ;-)

Does anyone know where I can get the Mirage III file that was uploaded on flightsim.to but it is now removed. Thank you.

[Spook48]

Seems both the III aswell as the F1 are gone

Yes, it's a good model, we've seen worse....
Unfortunately they left out the possibility to lift the nose wheel,as the type takes off with the nose raised,it would be nice to include this feature

Javis, which airstrip is pictured in #6309 ? Thanks.

Hey Mzee, that's U60 Big Creek Airfield, Idaho by Creative Mesh. Got it from Simmarket but it's at Orbx as well. About $13. Very nice indeed !

Btw, your Bear Pilot wears the same vintage pilot gear that the Got Friends Avitar Valor pilots are wearing. Only the white scarf is (sadly) missing. "Still" because i asked the Friends about that and got an indeed very friendly response back about they like the idea of a scarf flapping and fluttering in the propwash to come with their vintage biplane and possible WW1 pilot figures. All in MSFS 2024 of course. So keep that bear of yours happy as reminder !
