I've been reading some postings on the forum where people were searching for a Strike Fighter editing document that was written some time back but the website for it has become unreachable. So here is that document for those who need it : ) StrikeFightersEditingInfo.doc

de regreso, reinstalando todo de nuevo y viendo como están estos modelos. falta instalar el photoshop y el 3d max y después de tanto tiempo ni recuerdo los controles.

I do. I´ve made a new silver skin for it. ----- Do you mean this one?

Mikoyan MiG-21PFM 'Fishbed-F' - Senegalese Air Force, 1976

The Caudron R11 skins are nearing completion. Next, make the cockpit. Also working on a Nieuport 24bis.

Or simply install pilot from Harrier pack ..it is folder named 'Pilot_USMC' containing fake pilot clear tga and ini file...

Usually I am disgusted of the following term "According to US pilots" in such writings. It sounds like, 9 out of 10 dentists recommend this toothpaste... Well I am quite fortunate that I can read both english and russian books, and I have hundreds of both. Rule No1 I used to take, if it's about a western craft - I take the western source and vice versa, eastern source for the eastern tech. Either case they are both boasting and chest-banging about their own stuff but this way the sides equalize each other Yefim Gordon is a must. But he is not God writing holy books, but simply an excellent - english - source. Same could be said about Norman Polmar (Navy stuff) - he is best on his side - of his time. Bui we must take that into account that by the time they wrote their books they could not possibly have the knowledge we have right now. Rule No2 is simply to take as many sources as you can from different authors (possibly not copying plagiarizing each other) AND ask people of specific forums whose topics and answers seem creditable. Better if you know real life pilots, soldiers etc and ask them personally and match his talk with your background knowledge and sources. Some can brag or "color" his story, but you can ask questions politely to clear out controversies. I was soldier, I also have anecdotes which are "based upon real events" (sorry for the outraging Hollywood term from HiFi , history-fiction movies). Rule No3 is to cooperate and share info with others - without getting into endless who's is longer style debates perhaps this is the hardest to keep

I like smoke trails on your steam jet... @namedders - looks like you have two pilots in that harrier....

FAW2 getting airborne.....

The Rarest of the Rare...an F-4G Phantom II of VF-116 Black Lions, circa fall 1964...a squadron that never "officially" existed since it was commissioned by mistake and then countermanded almost immediately, but not before a few aircraft were actually painted, including this one, Modex 610, BuNo 150645.

Early morning sortie... An Air National Guard F-102A Delta Dagger of the 196th Fighter Interceptor Squadron based out of Ontario, California, circa 1969.
