I had a heavy work weekend for my volunteer work for the 60th anniversary D-Day weekend , so I didnt do all that much on FAF...

However I did accomplish lengthening the Alamo C and Alamo D missiles,

I also reshaped the MK82 and MK84 bombs to better simulate the real things, plus I fixed the mishaped segments of the MK82 bomb so it doenst look 'dented' anymore...

I also created a finless napalm tank to better simulate the real MK-77 firebomb...

I also created a new finless shadow so it wouldnt look like a bomb if you see the shadow going by...

I also created a new AIM-7M Sparrow missile to the same level of detail as the AMRAAM...

not bad for only a few short hours of worktime!

CAG out...

Forgot to mention.... I also worked on the TU-160 Blackjack and raised the tip of its nose (for that stealthy upturned nose look) and lengthend its tail boom to better simulate the real aircraft... I also lengthend the mid fuselage a bit so the plane no longer has that squat or compressed look...

I also created a all new shorter tracer bullet and changed its color to grey for use on aircraft cannons... it is now about 12% as long as it was... makes a great aerial round now, the rounds no longer jammed together. Makes it more believable now, since you only see a few rounds fired in an aerial cannon and as far as I know we no longer use tracers in cannon aerial cannon rounds... Also used this small tracer for small arms ground fire (7.62mm and below)...

I finished improving all the Russian air to ait missiles (even created a new AA-7 shape) but ai do not have detailed pics of the real weapons to build detailed skins with...

Does anyone have detailed closeups of the actual production misiles and not just the airshow inert versions?

Please let me know...
