Absolutely stunning! The most realistic electronic warfare jammer I've seen in SP. Your EMP force field-ish is actually much better than mine and more realistic. Great job on this build! Also your welcome, glad I could help!
@Razor3278
Oh I forgot to change that. I decreased it to 1,500. Although I think on my next fighter I'm just gonna play it realistic and set it to 400-1,000 bullets for each .50 cal. I think the 20mm have 200 rounds each.
An American Tu-95?? Sweet! I love this recreation of your original V-5000. I really love the black smoky exhaust as well, and the under-belly cannon. Everything about it is just really epic. The bomb-bay with the custom cruise missiles is also really sweet.
@BroAeronautics
Ha ha. I think this is mobile friendly for the most part. Don't expect my builds to sky rocket in part count. I like adding realistic detail, but I don't go over the top where it drastically increases part count.
For a while my builds were really simple but about 4-6 months ago I decided to make my builds look more realistic, and eventually as I progressed and learned new things, my build style evolved into what you see now.
So basically my build technique goes as this: Create cockpit first with functional systems within the cockpit, and then I build the basic fuselage and wings. From there, I simply add detail to the basic structure. If you look at the predecessors of the Storm Petrel, you can see what I'm talking about. Over time I add detail and add more advanced systems. For example, I used the default landing gear as a fill-in until I got to the part to work on the custom landing gear. I like to do this method, because after I finish the basic fuselage and wings (the basic structure), I mainly work on the flight dynamics afterward to perfect the flying qualities before I add all the details. A lot of time went into my latest builds, as well as many trials and errors.
@Texasfam04
Ok thanks. I actually have 2 other builds I'm gonna upload over the next few days; One is a recon variant of the Lark, and the other is a Foo Fighter (Yes, a Foo Fighter).
@BroAeronautics
No you have to open the canopy first (AG-6) and then bail out (AG-5). In the future when I start making jet-propelled fighters I will be using an ejection seat, and in that case I'll make it where the canopy completely separates automatically during ejection (and I'll use actual rockets in the ejection seat). This is simply the pilot bailing out, not an ejection seat.
I think the server is down or something. It won't connect. It just say "connecting to 157.7.205.136" and then a few moments later it says "failed to connect". ._.
The detail is through the roof. FANTASTIC job on this. I can't fly it though (part count). I really love the Conformal weapon/missile pods. Reminds me of the F-14 from Ace Combat 7 (trailer) that had missile pods.
Damn this is beautiful and well detailed! There are MANY DC-9/MD-80's and 727's that are being converted to private aircraft. Although as great and sexy as the 727 is, I can blame him for upgrading to the hotrod that is the 757. :^)
@Texasfam04
Yea I know lol. I finally finished my Storm Petrel's description and uploaded it's variants and paint schemes (unlisted) so today all I have to do is make the screenshots and gifs and then I'll upload it. So that score won't be around much longer lol.
Ha ha I remember this. I think this was only on the European map. Man I haven't played FS in awhile. I used to play FS13, then switched to FS15, and didn't move to FS17 since it was on Xbox One and I still have a 360. Now I don't even play FS at all anymore. (not a bad game, I just don't have time to play it or anything on my xbox anymore)
@DerekSP
Also, notice how freight operators almost always operate either Boeing, McDonnell Douglas, or older Airbus aircraft? Most airbuses in freight service are older models like the A300 or A310. I think this is because newer airbus models are too specialized in passenger service. Not saying this is bad, but when Airbus aircraft retire, most of the time they retire for good.
@DerekSP Oh yes definitely the 757 can still fly, but parts would start to dry up and it wouldn't really be economical to operate it. However I can still see it soldiering on in freight service, as more than likely when passenger 757 operators retire their 757's, most likely the freight operators will buy them to either convert them to freighters or use them for spare parts. Well after the 727 was retired FedEx, Kalitta and other cargo operators still used the 727 heavily for freight service. Barely in 2013 was when FedEx retired the 727. Kallita Air Charters still heavily uses 727's and DC-9's as freighters. It will be the same case for the DC-10/MD-11, 747, 757, 767 and the 777. Even after passenger service ends these aircraft can also be refitted to be incredible freighter aircraft.
Yea it will be sad to see the 757 go. It was truly the hotrod of airliners.
@DerekSP
No no no, the 797 will have the 4 large displays that are in the 787, 737 MAX, and the 777x cockpits. Ever since the 787, Boeing is making all new designs (or improved ones such as the 737 MAX or 777X) have similarly laid out cockpits so it's very easy for pilots to transfer between airplanes. Airbus uses the same concept on all their aircraft. Their cockpits are different sizes but they are laid out almost exactly the same. Same case for the Boeing 787, 737 MAX, and the 777X (and upcoming 797). The A321 IMHO is a good stop-gap measure for the 757, but the 757 is too good at what it does, and only Boeing can develop a true replacement. They predicted the remaining 757's will become much harder to maintain and operate as it gets older and 2025 is predicted to be the end of the 757's lifetime/usefullness. By then parts will get expensive as they get used up and the 757 won't be economical anymore.
So there may not be a market demand for the 797 now, but when the 757's start to retire as they come to the end of their lives, then there will be a demand for a true 757 replacement and that is the 797.
@DerekSP
From what I heard, believe it or not Boeing is keeping the fuselage aluminum. So at my local airport about last year or so, I met a Boeing Engineer who said that the Boeing 797 was going to be "as low-risk as possible". He said it's going to use an aluminum fuselage, which from recent concept photos looks like a 757 fuselage, it will feature carbon-fiber raked wings like the 787, and of course it will use newer engines. Most likely it will also use the 787/737 MAX/777X cockpit. He said Boeing went through so much pioneering and investing in the new technology in the 787, it was very very difficult with multiple delays and issues, so the 797 essentially is using ingredients and lessons learned from previous designs to combine them into the perfect 757 replacement that didn't take much resources or money to develop. I also assume low-risk means that if Boeing develops the 797, and there is no market for it, then it won't hurt Boeing that much since the airplane wasn't that hard to develop.
Another interesting thing he told me was that Boeing is currently developing camera technology that will essentially replace cockpit windows with cameras that project the outside world inside the cockpit on large screens. However only 2 large front facing windows would remain. Not sure if this will be a new standard, as it's cheaper to just go with windows instead of projectors, but he said Boeing is pretty much working on the technology you see in Ace Combat 3. (he didn't mention Ace Combat 3 but I'm just saying the camera COFFIN cockpit you see in AC3 is becoming a reality, minus the neural-flight interface). He's a pretty smart guy and is one of the more higher-up engineers at Boeing, so he gets to see a lot of the new technology, but I'm not sure if he was exactly allowed to tell anyone about this so I won't mention anything else about him. I hope Boeing doesn't see this lol
@DerekSP
Oh yea, the new 797 is essentially an all-aluminum 757 fuselage (with improvements) coupled with carbon fiber wings and of course newer, more powerful and efficient engines. Basically the 757 but reborn with a different name. I also assume the flight deck will be the same as the 787, 737 MAX, and the 777X. Here is the concept so far.
747 isn't dead, it's still a helluva freighter and many freight operators are still ordering it. The 747's passenger career though is on it's last legs. The same can go with the A380. It's staying alive thanks to Emirates, but the aircraft is much more expensive to maintain and operate than the 747-8. Any new orders for the A380 have pretty much dried up. But in the end 4-engine aircraft are on the way out unless you need a 4-engine aircraft for a highly specialized field such as orbital shuttle launches. (White Knight II, Stratolaunch, An-225 (back in the Soviet days the An-225 was a shuttle-launcher/shuttle carrier) etc.)
@YL
Yes it does look like a YF-23.
@greasytortle
Oh yes your EMP system is way better than mine. The short burst method is definitly better, and less laggy.
Absolutely stunning! The most realistic electronic warfare jammer I've seen in SP. Your EMP force field-ish is actually much better than mine and more realistic. Great job on this build! Also your welcome, glad I could help!

One does not simply get rid of a 757...
