It's finally done! I present the Mig-41 Firefly in various versions and paints.
Copyrights:
This aircraft was constructed from scratch by me using Abiator's concept with his permission.
The model uses the landing gear from the CEP F-35 and the Ikaros, Engine core from the SARF F-22, Cockpit from the XLP F-22 with details from Darkness Of Enigma's HD XFA-27. Weapons were from the CEP Mig-29K. Various decals were from Grigor, XLP and various UPEO decals from an older SARF pack. Last but not least, the awesome nosewheel on the naval variants was provided by Hornet with his gracious permission.
You are allowed to repaint these models, just make sure to credit me. If you wish to use this plane for your squadron send me a pm and ask, i'll be more than happy to help set up the plane for you.
Nice to see some new speculative planes out there. All are beautifully designed with agreeable flight characteristics.
I did however have trouble with the collision, weapon, and other .SRF files, which are structured like .DNM files when opened, causing the program to crash. (This could be because I'm still using version 20120701) Once I edited the SRFs (removing DNMVER etc from the top and FIL / POS / CEN etc from the bottom) everything worked fine. Did anyone else have this problem?
Otherwise, a great set of planes!
I do apologize for the use of dnm's in the srf files place, this was mainly due to a buggy srf export script in blender that would export the file but it'd be empty. I have been slowly working on an updated model that finally got around to all the things i had missed (and problems that i had found only after i had finished most of the repaints). Here's hoping that with a fresh start i can at least attempt some fresh repaints of it, only after i release it for bug finding
one rather important thing. i know i can do lag testing just by underclocking but i want to know what other people have framerate wise, i am going through and getting rid of things that aren't needed to drop model size but i need a good picture of how much i need to work everything in order to allow people with far less powerful computers to enjoy this plane.
I can't remember if you said or not but did this have a GAC version sitting as a coarse model? If so I'd like to doodle around with it since I like how cute the MiG-21 looked and this looks like a modernized redesign of it.

No, you don't just have to delete everything, the object MUST be selected in order to be exported. In fact, you can just select the object without deleting everything else, then exporting to srf while keeping that object selected will export ONLY that selected object. It has always worked well for me.
