Since I have not had the opportunity to play and examie EVERY single lib out there, I was just wondering if anyone noticed that the DR-D2 Drone in FA looks alot like the F/A-35, if one of the FA-2 genuises could somehow put a cockpit type shape on there, you have a perfect JSF! but im sure someone already knows that

Ummmm...

DR-D2 Decoy Drone looks nothing like the F-35... (BTW its not the F/A-35)...

It has a chin inlet instead of side intakes, also it has nearly no skin file, so its a wasted shape...

It looks more like a twin tailed, chopped, F-16 then a F-35...

The drone resembles the loser of the JSF contest instead ,F32. :) :) Check out Zephyr's JKP 4.5 lib.

Regards,

One of the Decoy Drones is nearly a dead ringer for the X-32 BoJet that lost the JAST/F-35 contest the other decoy drone is like a Mirage without a canopy. NOW, oddly enough, the X-32 in FA is a virtual dead ringer for the original LockMart X-35 proposal when it still had canards.

And unfortunately when you move those canards back to become tailplanes it causes uncontrollable visibility problems with the core shape, making it unstable. No matter what visibility changes you make to the individual polygons, it wont work...

Plus the skin is a 2 hex digit low grade skin that can not be upgraded...
