Hi Folks,
2023 shall see some WIP beeing finished I hope.
Here is a long term project I have been working on and off. VPA Rafale is stunning, it took me some time to realize how accurate the model was. texture mapping is one of the most complex I have been ever dealing with.
The Rafale is my definite eurocanard favorite of all time !
Some shots :
Rafale B wip shots coming soon !
Cheers

A gorgeous looking model already getting the l'iguane treatment, I'm not sure whether that is a late Xmas 2022 gift or an early 2023.
This may be a dumb question and if it is, forgive me, but I've not been able to find anyway of downloading this since I saw it on Frank Safranek's invaluable Mirage4fs site. All the download links on the VPA Forum are dead, even the Web Archive proved fruitless. Is there a link I've not seen or is this a "If you didn't get it then, tough" kinda thing?

Wrong Forum wrong everything sim- but after some effort, flies in P3D
Only needs L'iguane's splendid textures

It seems to be Cyril Pioffet's rafale A model as far as I can see. Nothing to do with VPA models.Wrong Forum wrong everything sim- but after some effort, flies in P3D

Is this the Rafael that comes up as NEWRAFAEL in the aircraft list and has 4 variants I think?

These are absolutely fantastic!! Such amazing high quality, they truly bring out this nice model.
Hopefully when frank gets the chance, he can get the whole rafale packs uploaded here. Would be a shame to lose such an awesome addon to the history books.

That is up to the original designers. The single seaters are already available at Frank's site : http://www.mirage4fs.com/rafale.html
Hopefully Frank will compile the B version into a package in the near future.
From what understood there originally were 3 packages with two seaters. I hope somebody still has all 3 packages.
As you could read in the post by VPA Team, made on the 21st of March, in this thread, they have the intention to finish the naval version. So stay tuned as more models might become available. But as said, it is up to the designer whether the makes his work available.
Cheers,
Huub
My records show that there were actually four packs for the Rafale B - packs 1, 2 and 3, plus an export pack. All are .zip files, although with my version of Windows, I had to rename them so that 7Zip manager would open them automatically.
The Rafale C came in two file "versions" - an .exe file and a .zip file, but until I can access the files themselves I will not be able to work out whether they represent the same content in different formats. Perhaps this was why it was necessary for Frank to compile the C version.
To be honest I wasn't aware of the existence of this model, until this thread was started. But I based my statement on what l'iguane said in one of the previous posts. In order to use his repaint, he said you needed the have the "original VPA Rafale B Pack 1,2 & 3" installed.
I'm convinced Frank has all packages and hopefully he will find some time to compile a complete package as he did for the C version.
As I like the SPA160 100th anniversary tail, I will start an attempt to create a repaint with this tail. Don't expect anything soon as it will be a lot of work and I only have limited time.
Cheers,
Huub
