3rd. First, I mapped Nimrod Mr.2. It is part of ODS 30 AE. But will be available separately in the download section as soon as I have a little more time. The second is VC-10 currently in mapping madness, painting lines, and making templates.

i keep tellin you all, bring out the GIMP

Another skin is ready.

awesome! detailed enough i can almost see the split in somebodies ACU pants

I can recommend > Sagethumbs < Using that, you can get previews of TGAs in Windows:

Hola Claudio! así es. estamos deapoco afinando detalles. Por ahora le agregué partes que no tenía, mejore la skin del prototipo. luego me dedicare al cockpit, paraque quede lo mejor posible. Tambien le agregaré un Bump para mayor realismo. Subo unas capturas para ir viendo como va, y muchas gracias por el elogio.Ya sabes que todo cometario/crítica/obsrvación es absolutamente bien recibido.

the link says RAF, but the site has the airlines too......

@GKABS dude you're an absolute beast knocking out all these new ground objects! Keep up the great work! I split every pair of A2CUs I had climbing up and down the aircraft.

kev RAF VC10s

I did one from scratch.

Training at Field 5, Issoudun, France 1918

@ GKABS.....if you're using photoshop just enable the alpha channel to view or edit it , there really is no need to have multiple programmes to create .tga's....whatever the other programmes can do, believe me so can photoshop it's just a case of learning how.

In the last weeks, during the test flights i found a lot of minor mistakes what i had to correct. I hope that i have found all bugs. I think i'm ready with the campaign testing. I included 3 different campaign for the terrain. Two fictionary ones: One Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in 1940. Two Operation Seelöwe, the german invasion in 1956, and one none fiction the british Nonstop-offensive from 1941, when the RAF made their Rodeo attacks over the English Canal. Screenshot Operation Seelöwe 1956 with a fictionary Republic of Germany as red side: I still have to make the readme file and i hope that i can release the terrain end of the week.

We found a small issue in the Mirage F1CK, a hotfix is available in the Mirage F1CK in the download section. If you already installed the Mirage F1CK, donwload the hotfix and copy/paste the MF1CK folder in your Aircraft folder, overwrite when it will be asked. If you download the Mirage F1Ck for the first time, the hotfix is not necessary. available soon.

also, don't forget to 'associate' the file name (.tga) with an imaging program. I did that a million years ago, and never had an issue with PS opening tgas * *well, excepting PS 7. still don't know why the alpha vanishes! isn't there a patch for that??

if i were tackling this, i would throw a blank layer on top, them scale the image (not layer) 200-300 percent trace the shape and use color picker to get that down. keep pressing shift while working the pen/pencil/brush/ whatever you use and just make the curves a large series of small straight lines. do the curves esp zoomed in at least 200% if not more the Cryllic word is only slightly trickier, quick google search for an image with it (in the proper font and style) or playing with Word or something similar. PS and GIMP will use teh same fonts you have in your preferred docx program, but looking it up in word first keeps GIMP from crashing (well, at least several years and versions ago, just habit for me now) i understand wanting a ready made copy. but as scratch makes go that one seems really straight forward

Photoshop shows very correct. It shows what is actualy drawn but not how it is be in artists head

Clearly those are decals. You don't see them properly because Photoshop does not render alpha channel transparency for .TGAs automatically. Use Paint.NET in order to see those properly.

The first test of the M106A with a full crew., big thanks to guuruu for helping to fix my mortar round and the effects dataini

Claimed a Heinkel as damaged. Slightly shot about. Had to dead stick in along the coast. Not sure what airfield. Hope they have tea on.

and now with the life rounds

Took off on a long training flight to fly up the Thames but after 15 minutes or so my TrackIR stopped working to the extent that I could only see straight ahead! My Buttkicker was functioning flawlessly though, as is Fraps. I returned to Sutton Farm and landed successfully and was told that my training was complete and I have been posted to number 16 Squadron RFC. That rang a bell so I looked on my bookshelf and there was Duncan Grinnel-Milne's book Wind in the Wires. That book covers his experiences in number 16 for just about the period of my posting. How accurate is this sim I keep asking myself. Fantastic work. In real life I guess with 5 hours under my belt I would have been really looking forward to going to the front and giving the Hun a bloody nose in my superb BE2c. Lambs to the slaughter ........

If you keep flying a BE2, then the day you die will be upon you rather abruptly.

I have a shameful secret. I am a Quirk fan. Just look at them pipes. She is beautiful. Edwardian class (no, not the tarts or the lower classes - yuk). She is steam-punk personified. William Heath Robinson inspired. She would share my bed if it were big enough. I will love her 'til the day I die. Anyone who says otherwise will be challenged to a duel with single shot flintlock pistols.

well, it looks like the drogue pods are seperate meshes, and therefore removable via the ini trick

A room with a view.

I good! I've been sitting the VC10 for months, waiting for a skin! Now, if someone can point me to serial number listings ....

Photoshop basically shows the RGB layers by default. A black and white alpha channel layer can also be enabled (and it can be modified), but it doesn't really give an exact idea of how it will look.

It doesn't fix the issue because it's unrelated to cockpit data. This issue is a consequence of the environment mod which makes nights darker. The stock game does not feature truly working IR images. We'll discuss it at the development thread. See you there, Viper!

I suppose I shouldn't be, but I'm still astonished at the amount of people that believe that earthmen are the only life in the universe; intelligent or otherwise.

Intercepted a RAF Rodeo 1941, norther France.

Lot of 'fan' ;-)

My Dear Catch, So very sorry that you spilled your single malt. That doesn't sound very pleasant. I would have thought a man of discernment and sophistication, one who holds the immortal Roger Livesey in such high regard, would have a specially designed single malt holder. I understand that 22 years hence a Hun named Adolf Galland will install a cigar holder of similarly inspired design in his BF-109. Once you've secured said single malt, I do hope you'll give my protocol a try. Pushing buttons, while amusing for a short while, soon loses immersion. Each must fly as he sees fit but I'm just suggesting that there are other options. Example in pic below. Note the shocking absence of bourbon holder mid left. Cheers! p.s. I hear you re: the wishlist item. Logged that one on the SimHQ thread many moons ago.

That's an inaccurate statement, Kevin. We don't get a single dime from that mod, so it's not a paid product actually. You don't pay for it, you pay for the subscription service which offers unlimited downloads among other features; the mod is just an extra/bonus to it. It encourages end users to support the site and cover its costs; hosting costs money, and I know for a fact that Erik had to jump through hoops in order to upload this quality package in its entirety, as it is exceptionally big in the amount of content it offers. Besides, the mod should be available free of charge to the long time supporters of the site, be it admins, moderators and recognized modders. Speaking of actual paid products, I've seen some payware for Strike Fighters, and the overall quality of such packages leaves a lot to be desired IMHO. ODS was built upon months of passion and effort, it is still being worked on (some software developers don't even care to patch their own paid products) and eventually it will be available for unrestricted downloads by anyone. For now, those who like what we modders create, can help sustain the site. Without it, all mods no longer have a home.

Starting another Rother Nought career with the new version. A pretty successful mission for our Sqn, 3 down with no losses for ourselves, with one credited to me.

Ravenclaw is like a fine wine, he gets better with age.

Sorry. But for the dog's sake is it necessary to quote the whole post with pictures if it is just one post above on the same, page...Do we need to scroll through the whole page 6x times longer? Imagine if I quote your post containing your quote of Flogger's post....sick. Why the fuck there is such a habit here on this forum. I do not know.....understanding this - is my WIP. -------------------------------------------------- hope all is well...been some time, not often using this language. ... meanwhile

Shortly available to download:

Found!

Id rather face MVR ,Udet in fact any Hun all day every day than a Triggers ear bashing lads..

another day with bombing run practice , C-15 with EXPAL 250Kg inert bombs

A few days back I indicated that I would announce some plans for WOTR. It is intended that there will be a DLC in the works to bring the 'engine' up to the same spec as our flagship BH&H II product which is releasing soon. The DLC will comprise of the 'engine update' - this is feasible as a DLC as opposed to a new standalone product, as WOTR is already ahead of WOFFUE/PE in terms of 'engine version'. In addition there will be new AC, as well as updated existing flyable AC to bring them in line as well. More details on the WOTR DLC will be made available once we have gotten through the release of BH&HII.
