The ship is completed now I need to take a long rest then I will go back again to do the data file and set everything up.

Hong Kong style approach ;-)

Nah I didn't just to see if you are watching closely.

Not forgetting the Heinkels. He-51, He-70 and He-111B in the Spanish Civil War, and He-111Hs over London in 1940:

Is anyone up for this? I'll post a screenshot of an aircraft beginning with the letter 'A'. The next person has to post a screenie of an aircraft beginning with 'B' and so on. Lets see how quickly we can get to Z ,and how long we can keep it going for. If it proves popular maybe it could be pinned? Rules: - Any aircraft is allowable: Freeware or payware, aeroplane or helicopter, from any era and from DAT, YAP, TMF, CAF, ODS or any other developer acronym - You can use the aircraft's name (e.g. Phantom) or codename (e.g. Fishbed) or nickname (e.g. Emil) - Only post a maximum of 3 screenshots (that's to stop me going overboard!) I'll start.... A is for Aardvark

Azerbaijan Griffins

M is also for Mutley

There are plenty of H's. Hawker aircraft, Hurricane, Typhoon and Sea Fury:

I like it ;-) OK, it's (H !!!!)..elicopter .

E is for Eagles

D is for Dewoitine, the D.510 in China and the D.520 in Vichy Madagascar:

C is for cookie, that's good enough for me...

Marking targets ... .. isn't safe job

M for Mirage Mirage 4000

Lahatut or lahatoot and some even call it Loach. El Loacho.

And a flock of Hawks, the Curtiss Hawk II, the Hawk III, and the Vichy Hawk 75A:

And the double-H's, the Handley-Page Hampden and Handley-Page Halifax:

B is for Beaufighter

Different models have different buttons depending on which animation slot the model maker used. You should read the readme. Or use a fixed refuelling probe like on the A-6! As others have said, you can't actually refuel but you can practice flying close to a tanker and immersing yourself in the storyline of the mission you're flying. And take some nice screenshots too please..

The KC-30A, easily the finest Kulti-Kole Kanker/Kransport flying anywhere in the world. (Apologies for another link nicked, but I can't figure out which HD I've hidden my personal screenies on this new rig).

J stands for Junkers, here Ju-88 Ju-88 over the London Docks (Battle of Britain 2 terrain) "Bomben los!" (bombs away)

I stands for I-153 Chaika, soviet fighter developed by Polikarpov Chaika over german airfield Zveno (flight) of Chaikas over the coastline

Spoilt for choice at G - the Gloster Gauntlet, Gloster Gladiator, and (Northrop) Gamme 2E:

E is also for Emil (Bf-109E) and F is for Franz (Bf-109F):

UBM

checking out an airliner with reported engine trouble unfortuneately it seems to have taken out a bit more than the engine

Best of British... A couple of Lightnings out of RAF Luqa, Malta, on patrol over the Med..

Skoshi

O is for Orion

N is a bit harder. There is the IAI Nesher, of course, but also the Nieuport-Delage NiD.52 and the Hawker Nisr (the Audax in Iraqi service in 1941):

And the Morane-Saulnier MS.406 and the VL Myrsky:

M is also for Meteor (the WW2 Mk 3 and the post-War Mk 8):

Decoy,/chaff launchers. .. or not, but probably yes ;-))

you know that you can have custom kill decals. One thing with decals is, that models with specular maps and bump maps have reduced the number of decals allowed per mesh. That is why I prefer to put as much as possible on the skin itself. If you will look at it from a game engine perspective. To load one skin with markings + approx 3 decals versus one skin and 12 decals. The first load is 4 elements the latter is a load of 13 elements. But yes as for individual markings decals are a way to go. And the best thing with decals is that with some aircraft you can have cool individual camo styles for each aircraft in the squadron. check the left side of the nose on that Paran Mirage - the camo is not aligned...

Hello everyoone, I have been doing a lot of work on decals and learning how it works while still contemplating on the aircraft list, which will hopefully be finished by end of this week. I didn't realize how awesome the decals system are. With it,you could change the nationality, squadron, number, or any decals on the plane WITHOUT having to paint new decals over plane skin. I want to take full advantage of this. That way anyone who downloads the mods and want to change anything related to the decals on the plane, can easily do this. I have been working a lot on learning the tricks on placing decals over multi parts and have it align together properly. While I already have some of the planes ready for RPPAF, here are screenshots: NOTE: Imported aircraft will have nation's original skins. However, Paran localized built aircraft will have Paran's camo, as shown on PF1-A below. La-11 Tu-2S MiG-15 FP1-A (MiG-15bis)

Republic F-103J Thunderwarrior - 302nd Hikotai, Japanese Air Self-Defense Forces, 1988

Done with the model except for some small things, I hope you will like it.

Not without the secret hand shake.
