Thanks for those jets.. I have most of them but they still are not the quality of Reflex jets. Why is this the case?
Is there any of this quality available for AFP?

Hi,
What do you mean as far as quality? Are you talking about the visual model and/or performance?
There's problems with all 3 sims regarding jets. Each one does somethings better than the others, there is no best sim for jets. After all, there's not many around compared to Extra's, etc, so I'm sure less resources were spent on the jet part vs "regular" models.
If you do a search you'll find a few threads on jets and how they are handled in the sims.
I'm finishing up a FACET 2300 that I did over the winter and I'm making it as accurate as I can, since I fly the real one, within the limitations of AFPD.
BRG,
Jon

Im talking about visual mainly. I saw the new eurosport and it looks great. AFP doesnt seem to have anything as good as this quality. The best flying Jet I have is a Macchi that is all white. It has the most realistic flight characteristics.

ITS FOR the REFLEX SIM (Eurosport)
Go to http://www.rcsim.de/ downloads, in Reflex section planes.
Regards Dave.

Well I'm not a jet pilot, not yet anyhow, so I can't really speak for the flight performace of AFP when it comes to jets. But I've been told it's good/great/could be better. But if visualiazations is what your looking for that's up to the developer. If there is a kick *** developer that likes Reflex and like's jets ... then he's going to develop sweet visualizations.
But I've also seen a couple amazing jets for AFP(D) too, like this F4. Complete with folding canopy, working tow hook and flames that shoot out as power is applied. Visually it's as good as anything I've ever seen for any sim. Now if this plane is not enough visually for you, then I don't know what to tell you. But at least you can see the capability of what can be done when you have someone who is a fan of the plane and the sim together.
Now as AFP owners we can say why are there so many more 3D planes for AFP then Reflex? Easy ... that's one of AFP's biggest fan base. So it's the same theory. Anyhow ... I think that sums it all up.

hi
the reason why the visual isn't as good is because the reflex ones are made with photos of the models using the reflex rmk tool and the afpd ones aren't yet there made by using 3d tools.
