Still working on coastline from another angle

Approaching Thud Ridge...

Hinds over Afghanistan.. You can run.. ...but you can't hide... And then home in time for lunch..

i find the lack of nose art round this thread lately disturbing fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history and still get the girls

I'm not sure if these A-5s qualify, they were the biggest thing on the carriers at the time... Some think recon is easy

I am not flying campaigns but this is a common problem with a single mission too. When making a mission in the editor I never ever assign flight with Escort...I rather put the Fighter Sweep type. Escorts usually will become trigger happy on ground objects, neglecting any air threats at all. As for the campaign..next time, before starting a new one, go to notepad and change mission chance on Escort to 0. This will solve the problem.

Welcome aboard Pan Am clipper Mayflower. We hope you'll have a pleasant flight, and remember, no matter where you're going, there you are (all new historic registration numbers and clipper names for the TMF 707)

Swatter..

possible yes, the KC-135As boom is set by airspeed [Refuel] SystemType=HIGHLIFT_DEVICE DeploymentMethod=AUTOMATIC_MACH CD0=-0.0010 Setting[1].Angle=0.0 Setting[1].DeployValue=0.00 Setting[1].RetractValue=0.32 Setting[2].Angle=90.0 Setting[2].DeployValue=0.240<<<<<<<<< Setting[2].RetractValue=0.235<<<<<<<<< MaxDeflection=90.0 MinDeflection=0.0 ControlRate=0.5 AnimationID=8 //ReverseModelOrientation=TRUE i set the particular arrowed values on mine because of the hose drogue attachment (a "gunpod set many feet below the tanker"), it gets the boom lined up with the hose and drogue quickly but if the hose and drogue animation are part of the model, no sweat and the speed can be bumped up some if a hose and drogue pod is used, then not so much. but responses are limited V2K, will the hose be a part of teh model, and set to airspeed? That, detective, is the right question

The latest iteration of the Billion Soft Falcon 4.0 total conversion modification - Benchmark Sims 4.35 U1 - is available for you to enjoy as of RIGHT NOW! BMS 4.35 U1 requires a legit installation of a Falcon 4.0 (all older and newer versions are accepted alike, i.e. Microprose, Hasbro, GOG, Steam, Retroism). The check is performed both at setup time and every time you start BMS. If no valid installation is found, BMS will exit with a corresponding error message. U1 is an incremental update on top of 4.35 base, so you need to have the BMS 4.35 Full Installer package available on your PC. You can both update your existing 4.35 base installation as well as perform a fresh 4.35 base + U1 installation from scratch, as you like. See the installation instructions below for details. This mod may not be used for any commercial purposes. Any such use may constitute a violation of the intellectual property of Billion Soft (Hong Kong) Limited and the non-commercial Terms and Conditions under which Benchmark Sims make this mod available to you.

RAPhantoms Jail Bait Phantoms Excuse me, I'm trying to land here! I didn't wanna post 5, but a Phantom boi on Phire.... JADPhanthoms

Flight testing

I strongly object to Kirby2012's offensive post. I for one , am eternally grateful to all the fabulous modders on this excellent site and for all their wonderful downloads . I can only say that the technical support on this site is amazing , with everyone keen to offer solutions .Kirby2012 does not appear to understand basic manners or gratitude . I agree with Nyghtfll and think this person is lucky he/she hasn't been removed from the site !

Active much, are we??? joined 2015, a whopping total of 2 posts, both of which are just above. The first post was pretty good; 'hey, i need some help, things don't seem to match up" The 2nd post, an hour later, completely different, jumped right in the "attitude well". Uncool, very uncool. and like everyone else said, you'd think somebody else would have said something over the last 13 years, doncha think? How 'bout we try this ...? delete the CL-13 and any/all associated bits from you mods folder. Redownload it, unzip it, READ the readme (if there is one, hopefully there is), check and cross check the included sub-folders (/Objects/****) for missing parts. THEN if something ain't right, give us a shout

i´m sorry if you have any trouble with this aircraft but this was one of my first mods i made and up to day it has 919 downloads and you are the first who has complains about it , i´m always here to help someone who has a problems with one of my mods and ask me for help , i never called me an expert and belive it or not i´m still learning new things about this game and modding every day , and by the way nothing is perfect neider me or one of my mods i just wonder 919 downloads and after all that time you are the first who has complains

A boatload of Phantoms

Man, Herks can carry anything that or its all about the angles

So the DirectX (DirectDraw) Wrapper is a gog made wrapper , apparently. The other three wrappers they include are all available on the web. Included are the IPX Direct Input and NGlide 3dfx wrappers. I updated my web site in two locations to include support for the GoG eaw game, at least what I know about it. Which is not too much, but there is not much need to know thats different from the prevous info I have on my site. This page has specific info on the GOG EAW: https://eaw.neocities.org/first-use.html There are many other files included but they are part of the GoG GUI and server cloud, and uninstallers. The game can be made portable and I included a file listing of the important ones on my help site. This page has GOG File List: https://eaw.neocities.org/install.html Everything is temporary at the moment , until I find out more.

Another day at the shipyard.

Hi, here's another mini tutorial .... I did it because of a similar post above, see it's Photoshop-based and has comments and contributions from our legendary forum modders.

Testing completed for all three brown navy boats. as soon as swambast send me the new texture for the PBR boat I will have them uploaded. here are some screenshots from the game, not the best lol.

Going up! BAC Thunderstrike S.2

I had a girlfriend named "Connie" once, but like this dream, they are both long gone. But I still think from a profile view, it looks like this

Grumman G-64 "Albatross" / U.S.C.G UF-1G "Goat" (1957) Grumman G-234 "Albatross" / U.S.C.G. UF-2G "Goat" (1962) Grumman G-288 "Albatross" / U.S.C.G. HU-16E "Goat" (1977)

side note, while this is about serial numbers it can be applied to nose arts, special markings (like CAG birds for navy jets) and even whole skins (like Gepards unique camo's for LSK Mig-21s). its just a matter of tying the desired marking to the serial number (noseart002.tga with sn002.tga) and assigning decallevel=2 in the decal ini. also in the example of the boss birds you should have a common marking without numbers and one or more with (tail, and tail001 for example). the common one will appear on all others while the special will be just on that bird. my two cents on the matter
