I prefer not. The idea is to improve the quality, not leave it hanging around.

Destructavator:
Alright, I *finally* got the new Stiletto model to import into the new version of Terragen 2, an updated version that handles OBJ models differently.

I had a lot of trouble initially getting the SparrowHawk rockets to mount on the aircraft model and look right - The new model has so many funky angles they really wouldn't go on anywhere and not look like crap until I fudged things a bit by altering the racks to extend out from the body.

Now I need to work on getting some man-made structures in the scene, and we can *finally* have some usable new videos.

For a full intro I'll still need a cockpit and pilot model though.  Do we have a good pilot model somewhere since I've been out?  I could probably do a cockpit, complete with animated display screens and such.

Prinegon:
I don t like the weaponary placement at all.
As one can clearly see in the first picture the rocket batteries are mounted directly under the manoeuvering nozzles. I don't think its the best idea to store the weaponary in the jets steam.

The second problem is, the suspension doesn't look right. Since the color of the suspension is mismatched to the jets colors you can clearly see they are added afterwards. especially the lower girder seems to be as thin as brass. I'd like either to match the color of the suspension to the jet, or to give them a warning color (like red or yellow).

Hertzila:
The model looks beautiful, especially against the landscape. Excellent work Origin and H-Hour!

But I have to agree with Prinegon that the Sparrowhawk racks look a bit strange (though looking at the model, those two weapon slots don't seem to have any obvious good spots, so these racks will have to do or we need another set of wings). The racks don't seem very sturdy and if that back jet is supposed to be the manoevering jet that enables all the stunts Stiletto is supposed to be able to do the support beams seem to be in the way.
If I may suggest, you could try putting slightly larger beams a bit forward, at the same spot the fixed jets are. One beam to the small gap and another in the jet. They're still be in the way but at an angle I don't think will be as bad for manoevering.

Crystan:
Nice!!!! I like the idea that the rockets are mounted on wings. But i think the rocket pods are too big and thats why it doesnt look right. What about if we integrate the missilepods into the model and as soon as they ready to fire they flip open - like the weapons of the RAH-66 Comanche?
