Frenchie, already have the Dauntless skin done (just need a better model than Wolf's 2005 lod -- and we can't and WON'T use any DAT stuff) I if I need a translator, you are TOP of my list!!! SB2C (4) done - as we don't have the -5 with one-piece canopy A-26 done Hellcat (albeit a -3) done Saafire III done (several years ago) Ki-43 done (albeit ArmorDave's Ki-43-I, as opposed to the IIb, IIIb variants that were actuall used) F8F -done (one of the stock skins is AdA) F4U-7 - long time done! AU-1 needs creation (easy, as it's mapped as the F4U-7) Spit 9 (stock) although I may do a squadron specific skin

Some Iranian Navy choppers...

Every Top Gun needs a "Mig"

This is a sure bet: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,53691.0.html Easy to install and regulary updated.

The LAU-88 launcher for AGM-65 could be a better stand-in than the TER.

Already am. Along with 100 more tiles than stock (from 104 to 204) still debating if I want to make the mangrove swamp coastal tiles (not that hard to do)

Turkeys Fighting Turkeys...

here's runway 3 retextured (ie: hex edited and created a 'new' runway3a), with psp matting. Also a bunch of new objects for the airfield bits

Bears are out of hibernation

Arriving over Khe Sahn Wingo gunning troops in contact. I'm sitting on the ground by now with the rudder gone and lots of holes in the bird just off the opposite end of the runway. Forgot what key was mapped to shut the engine off. Last pass over the target area, NVA gunner got me good. You can see the smoke in the distance.

Canadair CT-133 eager to bite something :) (yes skin is coming soon)

Something different

From TheDrive.com: I couldn't agree more... sure seems like a fun What-If project for one of you guys. Especially if the B-1C - and it would have to be a C because the F-111C was Aussie - had AMRAAM and anti-radiation missile capability... JOSEFK

Hi Wrench, For your skins, here is a link to a french site : http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/f/766/21/0 As French is my primary language i could make search using different terms :) Hope that this will help ya!

i'm aiming to do a pack on early Bones next year (after i wrap up the SAC Varks). main focus is SAC era and the ANG squadrons in the 90s. but if our supposed KoalaBone is same color as the current fleet, wouldnt be a problem to upgrade 81 Wing as well. another possiblilty that was discussed (and even less likely to happen than going to RAAF) is giving them to the Navy and reviving the VPB squadrons, which is one i'd thought had on this as well https://othjournal.com/2019/04/15/a-bomber-for-the-navy/ back on topic, give me some ideas on what you'd want to see, then give me two weeks (a modders two weeks)

Yes, it's US Thanksgiving where tiny turkeys are cooked and cut up and eaten in real life. Meanwhile in SF2...

future possibility

Quick update - saw often times there would be deep skid marks along these, so made a shot at that and updated panel connectors...

Thank you Nightshade, appreciate that consideration but I always prefer to scratch build. I'm still waiting for some reference info, but thought I'd mock something up so the team can react to before I return next week. Here was an initial pass - of course eventually I would still need to adjust speculars/lighting and optimize the bump maps but you get a general idea of the initial form, colors, etc. It is a single strip about 90m wide and ~1345m long so need guidance on those dimensions and welcome any other changes needed.

Fuel usage.. uhhm it could be Easy - you wont run out of fuel Normal - halfs the fuel consumption Hard - fuel consumption as set in the data Could be that TK had something on that on TW forum And the map size - thats just to make the map/distances to fly smaller/shorter to speed up gameplay.. it has no effect on how the planes function. Yes, Ive done the fuel gauge setup a few times. Ill have to find my notes to be sure, but its like this: The Value= entry is lb (or kg as set by ValueUnit=) per second For example, you have a fuel flow scale with a max flow rate mark of 10000 lb/h To have the entry for the 10000 lb/h mark, you divide 10000 by 60 = lb/h, then again by 60 = lb/s for the Value= Example from TW A-7E cockpit ini [FuelFlowIndicator] Type=FUEL_FLOW_INDICATOR NodeName=needle_fuelflow MovementType=ROTATION_Y ValueUnit=LB Set[01].Position=-222.10 Set[01].Value=0.083 <------------ 300 lb/h Set[02].Position=-15.50 Set[02].Value=1.389 <------------ 5000 lb/h Set[03].Position=46.10 Set[03].Value=4.167 <------------- 15000 lb/h Its a non-linear scale - values set for each range of the scale

Hey can you please do an AK-coded tail? Or make sure there's directions how in the template? Thanks, as I get to see an AK-coded F-22 about once a year now. EG: Many thanks!

Hey....I hear something, like a plane Snakes on...or off a plane

I thank you for the assistance; you're going to have a big part in this, methinks. I've got access to really accurate maps, from the US Army Corps of Engineers, and -get this totally lucked out-- they're from 1954. Once I get everything repositioned/corrected, then each city will have to be rebuilt from scratch (especially Hanoi, Haiphong, Saigon, and many others.) I still haven't "fixed" on the level of detail yet -- obviously the rail system (at least in the cities), ports. Airfields have to have back-dated structures (ww2 type). Some airfields will still be the "stock concrete" runways, as there really isn't much choice. Others will be using the Runway 3 & Runway 2s. Obviously, there will be airfields in Viet Minh territory, but as they have no air force...???? Below is a sample, of the Hanoi region (also telling me I got the lake to the NW slightly "off", but the 3w terrain engine.....mmmmmm)

You could try different drivers however I doubt that Laptop and that chipset is able to run the game.

Nice sunny day for dropping some bombs In the words of George Kostanza...the "sky was angry that day my friends"

I just got back from seeing Midway and it was better than I thought it was going to be. I did feel like it was a bit too much the story of Dick Best and VB-6 and not enough the story of the Battle of Midway. I think that the overall story in the 1976 version was better in that respect.
