Advance...

I am wrapping up my work on the Photo Phantom in the next few weeks. theres but one state left for Guard units, and i have a slew of post Desert Storm skins to bundle. i put in alot of work this summer for what was intended to be 2 skins tops for one TAC wing! that said, i am not doing anything with Vietnam era skins. there are still new models available for both the original RF-4s as well as the ARN-92 ("towel rack") versions. but i wont be releasing them into the wild unfinished i also will not be releasing the templates publicly. the one i currently work with is a mash up from four different modders in here, and i think it most respectful to not release that into the wild either. that said, anyone with a genuine interest in bringing the early versions to digital life is welcome to PM me. an established modder/skinner would be preferred but i would be willing to mentor someone new to this if youre willing to listen and learn (and potentially get alot of forest whitaker eye through the screen). the models are ready, the data ini's 95% ready. just needs to be skinned and tweeked for the members of the group chat on this, if you'd rather it hold off (or if im being obnoxious posting this) let me know in there and i will adjust accordingly This bird still has alot of stories to be told. but the stories i was interested in telling start after 1975, and im just about done telling them. hopefully somebody is willing to tackle the SEA camo and Gull Gray times

Apparently, the French don't give 2 Fooks about the take-out menu In my best Louis Jourdan voice, “Vive la France!”, "Death To Bad Duck a l'Orange!!!!

I'll be releasing these and more in the next "two weeks".......... But they will be without decals versions.

He flew right over my plane, so a quick twitch on the trigger.....

hey guys, i found their resupply convoy!!!!!!

gotcha plans to do Alconbury birds with the Gull Gray, or keeping it fairly generic? they were the biggest users of Gull Gray by observation as i've gone through this project also check the RF pm sir

well, this should speed you on the way out of Lincoln and for this one........... go crazy

My first attempt at making or, well, adding more details to the existing cockpit...

Just wondered if you guys had any ideas for managing SF2 mod installs? I downloaded NF5 yesterday and installed it and it nearly maxed out my C: drive. I got a big SSD (my fourth in this machine) the other day and moved every game install out of the C: drive. SF2 and the mods are still the biggest non-Windows group of files. I saw a KB article a while back about a way of moving the mod folders to different drives, are there any other ways or is that the best?

Try file compression as a stop gap if you already did that get a big 1tb-2tb SSD if you want you could even get a 8Tb HDD make sure its optimized for high write and read though

Yeah man, get a 2TB (when this laptop dies I'm moving to a 4TB hard drive on the laptop) or higher dude. You can't do much with 250GB, if you can afford it. The amount of mods I have for SF2 alone is 133GB...

Even if the entire state is the living embodiment of the song "Uneasy Rider" and the combined IQ of the state's population is 3 degrees less than the melting point of ice, these are some damned fine skins. (FYI, I grew up in MS) As for the CA skins, I'll be humming "California Dreaming". And having been to Offutt, that was easy: "We Gotta Get Out Of This Place"

I will be making some more ground objects one of these projects will be the PLZ-05 or the Type 05 is a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer.

it's the waiting time again if i were to give song lyrics to these, it would need to be to The Rolling Stones Waiting on a Friend

Brilliant post, very entertaining!

More 1979 scenario test using the resources provided by Viggen that made the whole thing immensely easier. Just got delayed cuz new job but I really want to see this completed with as few bugs as possible for an optimal experience. It will serve as the template for the 1989 scenario initially planned. (sadly i'm starting to like the '79 scenario cuz more Aircraft variety and Royal Australian Navy aircraft carrier lol!)

i reject teh (old) reality, and subsitute my own (new) one now to fine tune that reality with the three different styles of "ANG" badge across the Magnolia Militia fleet......

you know, for such simple markings, this one has a complicated process....

bunch of chores to do today, didnt do too much

RAM '90

from the "sometimes you gotta do it yourself department" rather surprised theres no decals or on the ramp pics of this special paint job. only some formation pics, and the one showing left side was extra blurry....

well, it was a great weekend. very productive but its monday again. back to work

couple last minute adjustments, and i'll go ahead and release this weekend's drilling units tomm

Last Active Duty user (for now) up and waiting doing last minute checks on the first two ANG packs.......

now we wait. first up to the plate once the main aircraft is approved, this time around the various units will be seperate. next up to bat will be

some (including myself) thought this might be coming out this week weeeelllll........ 4 more things then we should be good. this is one of them still 363rd Tac Fighter Wing, just at the very beginning of the new era

oh yeah, and six of them made it this far before retirement....

who knew all the surviving towel racks went to Idaho in the mid 80s? not even me until a little bit ago....

some details i usually dont get into the skins. but seeing as this one is straight up a historical artifact......

last one for Alabama.......

when youre gettin tired and you just Sandra Lee that $#!^....... * Sandra Lee is a TV chef that incorporates a mix of pre made and fresh/scratch made ingredients in her recipes........

oh, and Kentucky's done. dunno why 822 was special enough for a color cap, but it had it......

anyone ever find out something, only to misplace where they found it (research wise)? have 69-0372 listed in my Tageu squadron as the "15 TRS" bird. this is noted in my "highly organized" spreadsheet, which means i discovered the fact somewhere and noted it but i cant recall where from 72-0155 went to Bergstrom in late '89, so it is unlikely it stayed as the squadron bird for any length of time. but Blade did get my eyes onto tailcode position and a serial i missed so that is pretty cool now to scrub Alabama.....

this little b........ well is done now

well i try on the research everything in red is placed there by text on website, not a book (which i feel is less likely for errors) or pic i know, it stayed the same for Euro 1 too

last one...... for Kentucky wraparounds......
