if you remember what im callin the 3 hour tour(cause of how long im takin) mod uses a variation on the stock decal ini and folder to provide ALL Phantom users. always figured a big decal folder is still smaller than a big skins folder of the same intent. even have a modded squadronlist.ini so all you have to do in game is pick yer squadron in the loadout screen or mission editor. mine now has three squadrons from the 45th TFW:grin:

 

still my biggest issue with the 457th isnt the TH codes i can cut and paste my way to that.(yes i am simpleminded and stubborn in me ways) its getting that Texas flag stripe into the tga without blowing it up on file size or making it too fuzzy. thinking of making it my ownself from scratch but the star has me flustered

 

 

hmmmmm 3 hour tour mod, coming to you in.............two weeks!

You can get a good tail stripe just by using Sundowner's templates that Wrench is showing. Dave sometimes gives me sh!t about decals but the fact is that I use texture over decal especially with high resolution mapping (as in that template that Wrench is showing) OR when the mapping is so efficient (such as what FC does) that I always take the time to just texture it. I'm sure even I can get a good tail stripe using that template.... Besides sometimes decals come off tacky (which is another reason why I don't use them) and with Sundowner's templates it's almost an Artcle 15 offense to decal it... just sayin though....

For a Hun looks pretty cool.... Iv'e read one Wingman book where they're around Greece or so and starts the lead in to the Nazi Phantoms or some such...

 

@Ceaser the best way I've found so far after figuring out how to really shoot down a MIG-29 is to reverse into the circle that they pull you into. I flew against an F-16 (that was a workout...). This in effect forces him to slow down into reversing his turn, slowing him down and essentially setting him up for a missile shot (9M,9X, 120 depending on model) or maybe a guns kill.

 

DACT with a Super Hornet. The 9X that is following its smoke trail missed but that was okay the enemy Super Hornet eventually fell in the sea (the previous one whacked it pretty hard, killing an engine and blowing off a significant amount of its control surfaces).

Sram away!

 

My favourite missile at the moment - superb effects!

yes this was discussed in Black Aces High with the nuggets in the Bombcat doing the exact same (1 circle into 2 circle) tactic to score on a F-4F with a 2500 hr veteran pilot! figured Ceasar might like that bit of info if he hasnt read the book already!

Peote? LOL I had to look that one up Dave. I'm more of an Ovaltine man myself although even that can be abused....

That blows as I thought obviously I was on to something and really nothing new... shows how little I knew about ACM.

@ Eric - The reversal works pretty well (as mentioned illustrated in black aces high, but it was done vs. a MiG-29, not an F-4!), though I found it depends heavily on the energy state of the Fulcrum - sometimes he'll reverse and put his nose right on me! Ever try to get the MiG into a rolling scissors? Usually the AI doesn't handle that as well (at least I've noticed); of course I "cheat" by using flaps...then again, No rules in a gun fight!

 

DACT with an F-16 (EDIT: result was a missile kill with an AIM-9M)

yeah depends on what I'm playing with. most of the time it starts out with a massive turning fight and eventually it slides into a rolling scissors. The Su-27 nearly does it immediately (got me real good once) and I usually counter by turning inside it as best as possible. I've also found out that Russian missiles suck as the shot above I was Winchester air-to-air and tried unsuccessfully to get a guns kill. Most of the DACT I use was designed for missile only maneuvering so I wouldn't be so retarded in the knife fight and actually improve my skillset. I've only gotten lucky with the guns kills due to fast thinknig.

no worries. like he said in Flight of the Phoenix, you do alot of reading sitting in the pax shed waiting on a 130. oh wait thats my version of the line!
