I was browsing Lock On Files and found this mod:

http://www.lockonfiles.com/index.php/files/file/1641-lo1-fc1-fc2-tomcatz-pack-16/

I am thinking of getting downloading it for the updated MIG-29 models. But does anyone know if it will work with the F-15-A-10-Su-27_Pack_FC2.0 pack (pretty sure this pack was done by 3GO)? If it does, should I install the F-15 and Su-27 models from Tomcatz pack over the 3GO pack? Are they of better quality?

Finally, I know the current F-15-A-10-Su-27_Pack_FC2.0 pack I have is compatible online. Is the Tomcatz pack, or a mixed Tomcatz-3GO pack compatible online?

Edit: Tried to merge the two mods, and it worked save for two issues.

1) The Tomcatz MIG-29s do not have afterburners. It mentions this in the readme. Anyone know how to fix this?
2) Some of the MIG-29A skins are transparent in parts. I can see the landing gear through some of the model/textures. Is there a fix for this?

Overall I prefer the Simmod/3GO pack's F-15 and Su-27. But if I can get the MIG-29 issues worked out, I will use the Simmod A-10, 3GO Su-27 and F-15 + Tomcatz MIG-29A/S and Su-30.

Well the Tomcatz Elite Pack 1.6 are Tomcatz own models, he has been quite active in that way.

The no Afterburner thing is intended as he never quite got it right with them, the afterburner cones are not set right.

If you wish to install the Simmod 3GO pack you should install the Tomcatz Elite Pack 1.6 first and afterwards install the Simmod F-15 and Su-27 pack.

I´m going to nag him about it but he mentioned a good while ago, when he worked on a Su-35 that he wrote a file named forsag.lom that deactivated the afterburners, check your Lock On folder for this file. Try deleting it or uninstall it in Loman via file by file mode, but keep a backup copy.

There is also a later version at Lockonfiles.com the Jetpack 2.5 . Or check his files at Lockonfiles: Tomcatz files

Then there is at the VJaboG32 a full collection of his work: Tomcatz Full collection (Seperated Files) Warning description mostly in German!!!

Ok I just got the PM from Tomcatz, you need to indeed delete the forsag.lom, it´s a replacement of the Afterburner without colour or form, if you delete it, Lock On will use the old texture.
