Best F-22

if i remember correctly from on of davids films (rule of engagement) the alphasim fs9 f-22 flew pretty well in fsx. its not being sold by virtavia at the moment though.:isadizzy:
 
XPand has a freeware, native one in the works. Haven't heard about it in quite a while though.
 
The old alphasim model is about the best we have at the moment, it's vc is quite nice and the model is ok though some new textures and bump mapping would not go amiss if only I know how to do it!

Forget about bump mapping, you'd need to make the model FSX native for that. And that's only possible with the source files.
 
Just tested it. The plane is in native FSX SP2 model indeed. The exterior model is really nice, but the virtual cockpit seems to be in early alpha stage, not beta. I can't say anything about the flight model because I don't know anything about the performance of the real plane.
What I can say is that this project is definitely sounding cool, and I can't wait to see the final version of that plane !

The exterior model is decent, its off in a few places, like the canopy and the nose, but not bad. The flight model on the other hand is way off...

Im not too big on flying aircraft that are just "guess work" either, I like my aircraft as realistic as possible. And considering that the F-22 is classified, and probably will be for the foreseeable future I think its going to be quite a long time until we get a realistic F-22 for any flightsim.
 
Freeware is nice, but if the Milviz F-22 is on par with their F-15E and F-15C (which I'm sure it will be), then you guys are going to look at this model like you did your bicycle, after getting your first motorcycle.
 
Me thinks i'll download this freeware F-22 for a spin to Yellowknife and Canuk her to a CF122.

Go edit the airfiles then.

And that's the kind of words every freeware developer wants to hear. Thanks, Steve. Mucho thanks.

Well, I'm going to say two things... first and foremost, freeware is free. It has, and always will have, just the right amount of loving, honest work put into it. It is what it is and no one, least of all a payware dev (like me) has any right to criticize it in anyway... not without riskling some serious ire. Payware is not free. In some ways, it MUST be better than freeware because if it's not... then the people who paid for it will almost certainly complain.

Second, and far more importantly: we have terminated the F-22 project at this time due to our modeler dying. Out of respect for him, his model has been mothballed for the time being. Until I am comfortable playing in a dead man's model... it will stay that way. Do not ask for the model as you will not get it.

Sorry for all those who wished us to do a Raptor...
