Desert Conflict Mod Update - Mig 25

[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

The guys behind the Desert Conflict (http://www.desert-conflict.org/) mod are back again today with a new update. This time they are showing off their Mig 25 Foxbat. Have a look:

The Foxbat is a high-performance, high-altitude interceptor. There are several versions of this aircraft: A--basic interceptor; B--reconnaissance; C--two-seat trainer; D--reconnaissance with a modified radar; and E. The FOXBAT A aircraft, originally designed to counter high-altitude threats, has been converted to FOXBAT E, providing a limited low-altitude look-down and shoot-down capabilities somewhat comparable to FLOGGER. The wings are high-mounted, swept-back, and tapered with square tips. The aircraft has two turbojet engines and large rectangular air intakes below the canopy and forward of the wing roots. There are dual exhaust. The fuselage is long and slender with solid, pointed nose. The aircraft is box-like from the air intakes to rear section. It has a bubble canopy. On the tail are twin, sweptback, and tapered fins with angular tips. There are flats mid- to low-mounted on fuselage, swept-back, and tapered with angular tips.

wow that plane looks sick man wow i cant wait till its all done!!!

[imported_UH60BHPilot]

Looks great!

[D|sso]

Sweet. The Foxbat is capable of going Mach3, We'll be across the map in half a milisecond if they modeled it this way!

It also is renown for its ungainly, slow, and unmaneuverable flight characteristics. Definitely will be interesting to fly!

[ammar]

woOOoOOoOoOooOOooTTT !! that one iz sexy !! look at the iraqi flag on it ! so beauty skinned !

[Sir. Shpox]

GW DCM team :p

[tahadar]

while the jet does look like a beauty, the two tails are way to close to each other. I find the wide spaces between the tails on the actual aircraft to be one of the defining features of the jet, so imo this should be adressed before the any release if the mod team want to keep their vehicles realistic

[Doctor Venture]

That is a Beautiful model,
however the mdoel has alot of errors, and only resemebles a mig-25.

[Mobdawwg]

Beeeeeeutiful:d

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

Very nice work Hoofer, now get back into your cave, lol.

[Jacky]

WOWOW, Eat that Dice !!



;)

[mr_o]

nice model but i have to wonder at what its role will be as it aint exactly the most manueverable plane in the arsenal. speed was its main thing

[Siggi_Horse]

Nice!

[M0ldyM!LK]

I like :D

[Silversound]

nice model but i have to wonder at what its role will be as it aint exactly the most manueverable plane in the arsenal. speed was its main thingTo fly around fast, killing things.

[K4M|K4Z3]

High altitude bomber interceptor.. Will shoot you down before you even knew what hit ya, that's why it didn't need to be as maneuverable as a fighter.

[mr_o]

thats my point. we have neough map space to hit full speed then ur out the boundery.
what good is that?

[$n4ke108]

cool!

[K4M|K4Z3]

That's the description for real life MiG-25, who knows how they designed it in DCon? They can make it fly like a helicopter if they want to you know?

[ikito]

Kick ***

[zymyo]

Atleast we all know it comes with an ejection seat.

[K4M|K4Z3]

Wow! What a waste of a sexy jet :mad: I'll gladly take it off your hands if you got an extra 1 or 2 you know.. :D

[BIGDOG]

Very nice !


You guys know the weapon load out ?

[TeLe-LoE-]

Why did he eject?

[K4M|K4Z3]

Why did he eject?

Probably for testing purposes. Since they took a pic of it so it can't be a malfunction.

[mr_o]

if u look its a sealed 2nd cockpit. it was done as a test of the supersonic speed ejection system.

and altho its a nice plane i still cant help thinking why? i mean there are far better planes out there to choose from in the A2A role. it seems a bit of a waste of alot of hard work

Because Iraq used them, simple as that. They are including the MiG-29, Mirage F1, SU-25 and MiG-25, pretty accurate Iraqi inventory.

[petemonster29]

that is a nice jet hoof....i think some of your best work man.........altho the tailfins are a bit too close togather..because the exhaust on this jet is massive...it has to be to propell it to mach3.

also iraq used tons of j7s and mig 21s... mig 23s..... hawker hunters.......mig 19s j6s..... su24s....... su7s....... su20s.......and a goofy hybrid from aerospatial that looks like a gazelle heli and a cesne if they were melted togather lol =].....maybe new iraqi UAV??

not a good enoug reason to have them. the above post shows atleast 2 other jets better suited to the A2A role on the map size we have to play on.

Maybe but you want to equilibrate air power. Realistically, none of the jets mentioned above stand a chance against any US fighter. They could have included some but they chose the high end of the Iraqi Airforce with jets such as the MiG-29, MiG-25, Mirage F1 and the Foxbat.

makes sense ;) nice work guys!

[DoubleVee]

I always thought, Mig-25 = Foxbat...LOL
p.s.: Mig-25 Foxbat is its name.

Ho sweetness!

[petemonster29]

mig 25 is the foxbat

[tripleXTAC]

looks sexy cant wait to fly it

what kind of weapons will we be able to utilize:ar15:

[K4M|K4Z3]

From the pics, I can see some laser guided missiles, probably some AA missiles also.

[Silversound]

lol... Hoofer did this thing in a day and a half. Not a waste of time.

And for all you nay sayers.... not one of the planes in BF is realistic. They all go way faster IRL. Get over it.The plane rocks, it is done, and you will hopefully like having it. Not to mention that a lot of mods have it. I believe USI has had a sweet one for a long time now. And DCX did a great job working theirs into DC.

We have a mig 21, mig 23 so fret not. We just don't want to show everything at once.... And yes lol, we know the Nato names of the items we make. Now if you want to point out the Russian names.... then I would be greatfull. But pointing out the obvious is just to hear yourself type. Not aimed at you Pete. :)

[Doctor Venture]

He might have done it in a day and half, but the posted picture in this forum indicates that its still is an inaccurate model.
But it still looks great, and your correct BF planes are not realistic, but that is due alot to the map limitations.

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

The time it took to make isnt important, cause it cant look much better than it does.

Modders also deal with the same map limitations, so what difference does it make.

[Doctor Venture]

BTW, I like your sigs, they are very original.

[Brindled]

nice work. wish it could really go to 24,000m up. it was like a rocket with wings... literally.

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

BTW, I like your sigs, they are very original.

Which is ironic, comming from you. :)

[PBAsydney]

Gasp! I see smothing errors on the tail fins :eek:

[Silversound]

BTW, I like your sigs, they are very original.Hahaha bro... I made that avatar 6 months ago.. I put it up here to show you who was on who's nutz.... Just trips on over to our site and ask around. Or if you like I can show you the in game billboard of the same image???

You are not as kewl as you think you are..... but I do like that you are trying so hard.

[Doctor Venture]

If I was trying harder I would be banned, because you boys can't handle the heat and you complain when someone brings up the obvious mistakes.

But your getting better.
:)

[Doctor Venture tries very hard at dishing out a bad comeback]

Pffffff the only obvious mistake was you starting a new account.

[crowd turns its back on Doctor Venture]


- just ignore him guys ;)

[zuiquan1]

huh, whats going on

[jimbob]

huh, whats going on

nothing... seriously :)

back to work fellas!

[Silversound]

Jimbob is right. And his advice is golden.

I just get tired of that kiddie. He sure is one hell of a DCon voyeur for a guy who gets his panties in such a bunch over our stuff.

I guess in this modding scene it is not good to admit to having feelings, but we do. Making mods is a huge challenge and often quite a ****ing match.

I for one get really bummed when people take the time to put down anyone's effort. Not just dcon, but any of us. I have huge respect for all modders willing to take the time to make something fun, interesting, and free.

I may not play every mod out there, but I do see their devs as like minds. I personally will refrain from responding if I think something is not my thing.

Why take the time to be a fly in someone's soup? I mean we are all gammers here just trying to make something we like to play. If anything send an email or some sort of private message with your criticism.

I guess I am expecting too much from children. However I know so many young folks who don't act like this DV guy. Somebody must be hurting him in his real life for him to feel the need to dump his issues on others.
..... end rant.

I hoe, I hoe, so off to work I go.

[Brindled]

I have huge respect for all modders willing to take the time to make something fun, interesting, and free

i second that respect. THANX TO ALL THE MODDERS!

Great point, and Ive found a new sig quote. :cool:

MODs are what got me into FPS games, and they just get better with time. The ones on the table for us in BF2 are amazing, newbies to the scene might not be aware of that fact. We are oozing here with kick *** work. From pirates, to Star Wars, adn everything in between.:cool:

[Brindled]

the ranking system closes so many minds to fun.

[Doctor Venture]

Really I am just as eager to play your mod as the rest of the public, my only problem is that I am a perfectionist in alot of things I see.
I was a huge fanatic of DC, and I was sad to see it go, and then I felt insulted when this mod came online.
I was also dissapointed to see the attitude and position you take in responding to critics and issues brought up by your fans.
However I forgot the one thing that keeps you guys going, and that is the pride of your work, and how you much of it you produce, because unlike the boys from DC, your doing this us the fans, and not just your portfolio.
My final statement to you guys is this.
Here is my apology, and best wishes to a speedy and spectacular release.

[Brindled]

but dc isnt gone, ive played it quite a bit lately.

[=DNC=SYSEX73]

DC isnt gone, I play it too quite often. What more we are not bringing back or copying DCOM. Everone on our team does what they do now because we are all fans of DCOM, and want to have that same kind of fun with the BF2 engine. We will have our own vehicles, our own maps, nothing can be ported or copied by DCON or any other team.

We are not the only people interested in giving the community USA vs IRAQI style desert fighting. However, a small group of people enjoy following our work and throwing whatever jabs they can, I have no idea why any more.

Just thought we should update this thread with the new screenshot of this bird in action.

..... Hoofer is pretty funny sometimes.

[sonnilon]

So percentage wise how complete is this mod?

[jimbob]

So percentage wise how complete is this mod?

a million peso's to the man that can answer that question about ANY mod. Unfortunately, there isnt a timeline m8, and there are no time cards to punch... so trying to put a % figure on a mods completion is really impossible - if not a little irresponsible ;)

i like the new hybrid...

[HAWK503]

i bet it will be awful in dogfight situations, i hear it's easier to manuvre a road train than it is to do in one of those things.
