Here is a prev of the Swedish JAS 39 Gripen.
The model is done by Fredrik Alfredsson, with fantastic photorealism, and gave me his permission to use it.

Gripen is the first new-generation multi-role/swing-role fighter to enter service worldwide and combines high performence, outstanding maneuverability and fully integrated information and weapons systems for all air combat situations.

Offering an unrivalled mix of simplicity and sophistication to defeat all present and future threats, it is the world's most capable and cost-effective combat aircraft in operation today.

Fully integrated digital systems give Gripen the brainpower to use its strength to maximum effect, whether facing multiple airborne or ground targets or identifying hostile forces during a reconnaissance mission. And the world's most advanced datalink allows pilots to communicate real-time information with other units and ground control centers while remaining completely undetected by the enemy.

Gripen can carry a formidable array of air-to-air and air-to-surface precision engagement weapons. It benefits from a high performance radar plus low visual, radar, and infra-red signatures along with electronic countermeasures.

During an intercept Gripen pilots can engage multiple targets simultaneously with BVR missiles. In close combat, it out-maneuvers opponents thanks to its outstanding agility at all altitudes and speeds.

In service with the Swedish Air Force, which has ordered 204 aircraft, Gripen has also been selected to meet the national defense needs of South Africa (28 aircraft) and Hungary, which has a requirement for 14 aircraft.

PS. The image of the two Gripen fighters is no photo, its Fredriks render with a photo background.... I cant tell the difference!

This UNIT will no longer appear on this site. The progress will continue at CDG.

I hope thats just the preview thats blurry. and not my eyes... Thats an awesome model! Can't wait to see this unit in the game omni!
 
The attack animation looks good.
Perhaps what we talked about before might be a good idea - having attackA be the first missile and attackB be the second, that way the game can decide how many missiles need to be fired.

Don't worry about the blurriness, when the plane is moving, you won't notice it anyway.
 
Thanx pesoloco,
yeah, I think I go with the inner pair of the missiles in the first run, then the outer pair in the next run.
The blurr thing is gone, just saved it in wrong extension.

Kemal.... I never have hangovers :D
 
SORRY!!! One thing just crossed my mind, there will be no Civ spec colors on this version!

...when I got better at the animation thingy, I will put them on.

sorry about that folks, hope it still comes to any use.
