OK, just to let everyone know. I contacted again the guys making this model http://www.milviz.com/modeldetail.php?type=1&id=F-23%20Black%20Widow%20II in light of the new material we found.
Here is part of their kind and prompt reply:
So next I am thinking contacting the guys that made the wonderful YF-23 model for FS2004.
I will be very cool to see a 3D model of our favorite plane, let alone fly it in a SIM
P.S. I send an email to Daniel Buechter the man responsible for the 3D Model, Textures and Flight Manual. I hope his email is till the same
Here is part of their kind and prompt reply:
So, here is the deal with our plane: The model that we made is the YF-23
and not the F-23A. We used photographs and measurements that we took of the
actual plane to build it. I can tell you that our model has two
"discrepancies" as compared to the real thing and those were both "artistic
license": It has a gun port and two missile bays. Other than that, it is
in no way either fake or wrong. It is merely not an F-23A. It is, in fact,
the YF-23. Please don't take offence but though that is not exactly how we
bill it, that is what it is. If it really bothers your team that much that
we have labeled it the F-23 and not the YF-23, we will change it at some
point in the future.
That said, were we to make a F-23A, we would most certainly enlist the aid
of these drawings as they are pretty good.
