• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

OT: Lockheed U-2

Well...

...there is still a need for one out there. The Area51 version is the best that currently exists, but has serious issues:

- The flight model completely sucks
- The sensor package configurations are not changeable (Senior Span/Non-Senior Span, ASARRS nose, etc.)
- The pogos are not toggleable, but disappear and appear magically
- There is no paint kit, and e-mails to Area51 get no response
- The externals and VC are not nywhere near current FSX payware standards

It should also be noted that the flight manual is for the original U-2, not the U-2R/TR-1 which, though based off of the original U-2, is a totally new larger design, which is what was modeled by Area51. So the flight manual doesn't actually pertain to the plane modeled by Area51. The only early U-2 for fs I'm aware of is the Ito FS9 model.
 
Yeah...

...and the AS U-2 flight model seems to be halfway decent too...It's a bit dated, but not bad at all.
