+daddyairplanes Posted March 4, 2023 Posted March 4, 2023 Game rules for this thread: Same Unit, different aircraft. Major changes preferred, although in some cases like KC-135, F-4D to E, and C-130 different models could be ok. and you gotta name the unit and rough year of the change. to kick off, the 120th Fighter Squadron, Colorado Air National Guard. A-7D to F-16C, 1992 14 Quote

+daddyairplanes Posted July 20, 2023 Author Posted July 20, 2023 thats wicked you guys are really taking it above and beyond my original concept. i just figured on show casing two different aircraft at a given transitional point in the unit's history like the 706th TFS swapping Hogs to Vipers on a rainy New Orleans day.... 5 Quote

Thanks for the answer, I will check the Alpha Superpacks Update: Well, its like I thought, the Superpacks have another .LOD, check the canopy line and reflections: Its not the same model. Update 2: I looked carefully at the the files in the F-15A version of Superpack, who uses the original TW LOD´s with a updated DATA.ini and found the Vortex positions added. This is what I looking for, thanks for the tip!!! Edited February 15, 2024 by madvad Update 1 1 Quote
