As I said, I think my position is quite fair and well balanced, let you guys have this feature now which you have a dubious claim to, in exchange for our equally dubious claim. You’re never gonna get a dubious PIRATE with community support, and I’d be happy to support this, if you would stop gatekeeping.
No, as Gaijin have said, skins are cosmetic only, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the standard of aircraft. So just take the model and apply a native skin.
This is the most fair option, and the option most people would support.
IPA 7 used to be with Airbus/EADS, now is supposedly with WTD 61 along with IPA 8.
The sole Eurofighter EF2000 at WTD 61 is instrumented production aircraft (IPA) 3. Besides the ODIN project, the jet is used as a test bed for a project to extend the life of the brake parachute. In the future, two more IPAs are expected to join WTD 61: IPAs 7 and IPA 8 are already at Manching but are still operated by Airbus Defence and Space.
it basicly says that the IPA-7 entered Service as GS029/30+44 and then served as a testbed at airbus.
So from my understanding it is a German owned airframe that Airbus uses to test shit.
GS0029 is just the serial number. GS because its a German Single (GT for German Trainer). the 30+44 is just the designation it would have gotten if it went into service with the German Air Force. this excerpt really doesnt prove anything except that its being used by airbus.
