Guess the sticky screenshots thread didn't catch your attention.

Looking very good however and if the vid looks anything like this (with white smoke I might add), it'll be awesome! I like the angles, aside from the High-BB cross.

During the Hi-Lo Hit, it's actually #6 overtaking the diamond, but no biggie!

LoL!

After seeing the track and how bad you were lagging Striker, I can't blame SE for not posting any solo shots. Even in a still the smoke trail would have given you away with that much laaaaaag!

So, when will we see something new from the VFTC? We need some more "competition" and it's always nice to see the work from other teams. We've obviously gone the Thunderbird-way and only fly real Tbird maneuvers, but you guys have so much freedom in being able to do things that would almost be impossible in real life. We have no regrets about limiting our selves this way however, since it has lead to even more recognition both from the community and actual USAF members (including Tbirds).

Your last movie looked very good! We can't wait for 1.1 to come out. Seems like all we're doing is waiting over here, but once it's released that new smoke will look awesome! Keep in touch!

I hope, very soon.

We are drilling our new short show programme for 4 Su-27...

Yes, we know that.
So, have you any contacts with real TB?

An.Petrovich,

We don't know or speak to any of this years Thunderbird pilots (yet)! However, we have a contact on the team and also have other connections to a former Thunderbird pilot. We're hoping to bridge the gap a little more this year and actually meet the team (hopefully) and supposedly they are aware of our presence and have seen our stuff at least...

We're beginning to mod 1.1 to work with the Thunderbirds skin and white smoke as we speak and soon start flying to grind out new procedures to use with the updated flight model. I'm currently away flying in real life and can't wait to get home to fly Lock-On!!! Who said flying on the computer wasn't more fun!?!?
