Man, I want some super alloy.

Good news. Hopefully the same holds true for 3ds Max 2009.

The beaver is one of my faves but its limited usefulness in this sim precludes me from putting forth the effort toward modeling it.

They're remaking Red Dawn as well. Its being filmed in Michigan but is supposed to take place in Spokane. I guess that's pretty cool. Although I have serious doubts as to the ability of Spokanese teenagers to wage guerrilla warfare. About all I see them capable of doing is dressing like horrible impersonations of gangstas. I'll have to get one of those Spokanistan shirts from Boo Radley's and wear it to the opening night.

The first one was good? *runs away*

Made it through school, got a great career in aviation, and my training is progressing very well. In my own little world I'm very happy with the times.

Thanks for the congrats guys. Haha, yeah I had one snow day already in training. Most exhausted I've ever been after a day of work, but our snow removal team is a top notch group of guys. Here's a pic of their roost

Use the built in tools? I've found unwrapping in Max 2009 isn't too difficult.

Not to toot my own horn but there's some basic Erusian decals in this set... http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=6453

orly? Now that I am interested in. Also a way to make guns alternate fire.

Well after about 3 months of training and studying this afternoon I had my 1.5 hour certification ride on Ground Control/Flight Data/Clearance Delivery. Passed with flying colors of course Now I'll have a month or so to enjoy working without someone else plugged in and getting to fix my own muck ups before starting Local training, probably one of the hardest positions in the facility. BTW, getting checked out on a position means all those holidays you were getting off of work magically go away. At least I'll get the pay bonuses for working Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years. Anyway, here's a crappy cell phone pic from the night tour Ops gave me the other night.

Where are you basing your "permanent damage" chances from? As the files are located locally I have serious doubts they'll cause damage to a user's system. They probably just won't run very well with the game, but can be removed from the game directory at any time to fix the issues. Please don't frighten people with unfounded statements.

It was never mentioned in the patch notes either, so its not exactly unexpected.

Now that's the stuff! I think they look spot on now, texture wise.

Hmm, my Russians a little non-existent and I'm not having much luck with that site. Pity the Anatomy of a Ship series never did the Omaha, that really made the Fletcher project much easier, especially with the texturing details. Right now though I'd be happy with a decently detailed 3-view.

On that note, having snooped around a bit this morning, anybody know of any good plan views of the Omaha? I really lucked out on the Fletcher after finding an online copy of a book one of the museums printed, saved the texture work on that one, but I'm having a little trouble getting detailed stuff on the Omaha.

I'll look into it, maybe use it to take a break from the huge project I'm working on.

I...er...is there another Grinch? Cuz I never touched any Omahas...although I suppose I could, although I'm working on something else at the moment that's rather large and time consuming.

Maybe just one, but when you've got a whole flight of them, it adds up right?
