Sorry, I can't see your pictures SUICIDAL... I was not trying to make individual skins for the planes. I was just trying to enhance the generic skinpacks that's already given in eburger68's Campaign. My problem isn't on historical research, but how I can place decals on certain places, such as the airbrake interior or the correct 801 NAS side codes placement, (not on the panel of the forward nozzle but above it). Thanks, anyway!

Great effects as always, Stary!

Hi, guys I'm in a Falklands/Malvinas frenzy lately! Thanks eburger68 for the Great modded Campaign! Start fiddling with the skins and decals to make a more historical representation of the 800, 801 and 809 NAS during the Falklands/Malvinas Conflict. Here is my impression of the 899 NAS Sea Harriers - integrated into 800 NAS on 02.04.82 The winged fist emblem of the 899 was totally overpainted and the side two digit code numbers were painted under the cockpit and not at the usual place on the panel ahead of the forward nozzle. (originally the side code numbers had 3 digits but the first digit denoting the Sqn. origin, 1 for 800, 7 for 899 was overpainted upon intergration). To be mote accurate I should repeat the last digit of the side code inside the airbrake...but I dont know how... Could someone give me a hand on this? Also I tried to give a more historical look to the 801 NAS giving the side codes the Roundel Blue color that were originally overpainted...but the placement is still wrong...Can somebody help me placing the decal a bit above from were it's placed now, (above the panel ahead of the forward nozzle). Any help would have been apreciated. Thanks.

I did replaced the numbers.lst of both 801 and 809 with that from 800 but still have no individual numbering... I also noticed that there are lots of excecive decals in the d folder of each Sqn. Do you want me to clean them up for you?

I'll see what I have in my books, Massimo... I made the numbers of the 801 NAS as suggested in the numbers.LST... Although I followed the same structure as in 800 NAS I couldn't make them show seperately... All the planes are sharing the same number! Any ideas? I also corrected the double nose national marking for the 809 NAS.

OK, guys thanks! I'll send the finished skins to eburger68, as soon as I get the decals stuff addressed first... I'm wondering is there a template available? The starboard side cocade looks terribly awfull... There must be a lot of streching involved there...

I've noticed that both 801 and 809 Sqns in Campaign mode, haven't got randomized numbers and serials. Every plane of these Sqns, in Campaign, is numbered "23". In 800 Sqn, different numbers, are being used but, in Campaign mode the numbers are locked and dependant on the plane's position in flight. (For example player flies always No 92). Is it possible to have in Campaign, as well, all the available aircraft numbers selectable in skin loading, as in Single mission mode? I tweaked the Sea Harrier skin a little using some higher resolution parts of the original FRS.1 Harrier for SF1 skin. Also redone the AIM-9 rail that looked a bit ugly in pure white...

Thanks a million for this guys!

My original weather figures were Inclement=10, Overcast=35, Broken=25, Scattered=20, Clear=10 I changed to Overcast=25 and Broken=35 and now I have always Broken clouds in my Campaign The problem remains after the latest patch to the Exp.2 applied and a new one emerged the "airstart no matter what"...

Oh my God! I just have it installed and confirmed the new "airstart no matter what" bug + the "always heavy weather" bug in my SF2V Campaign seems to be there too...

Merhaba pureblue, Great pics! Is there such a map?

OK, guys here is my problem... After installing Exp. Pack 2, (Dec. 2010b), somehow I lost all the gunsights in my SF2V Air & Ground Expansion Pack V.2.0 install. I had to reinstall everything back to have it work again. Allright so far. The problem is that the weather in Campaign mod is always heavy, no matter what... I have played two different Campaigns, may be more than 50 missions and the weather is always heavy overcast. Any ideas?

This is Awesome!!!

Looking them again, closely and I confirm they are soviet type of cyclist goggles... or Chinese copies as the second listing claims...

So true...

Yes, I know about the helmet and your thoughts, Olham are logical and justified but, it has a different story actually... From 1940 and on, the Net helmet became the most popular one between LW crews not only as a lightweight summer or for tropical use item, as it was first intoduced, but in every front every season. In my example the leather earphone parts have wool fliece lining...(earphones made by Siemens). Back to our story, the helmet belonged to a pilot or crew member of a Ju-88 that was downed over river Mercey at Liverpool during a night Blitz bombing mission in 1941. The pilot or crew used his parachute and aparrently his kapok filled type life-jacket when he was dragged out of the river and stripped off his items by angry civilians. The helment and life jacked were found, forgotten, in an attic a few years ago when I bought the helmet at an e-bay auction...(I could not afford both).

Here's my WWII stuff... A Netzkopfhaube Lkp 101 set with early type splinter goggles and oxygen mask!

No, thanks...I can order one via internet by myself, no problem. I've bought lately, RoF with the whole bunch of planes, OFF BH&H and will buy HiTR as soon as it arrives... With my recent financial stress this is already too much ...jobs are getting scarce here, for a freelance artist I am... I'll try to go with Freetrack first and we'll see... Thanks again!

Already did , thanks uncleal!

I'm happy for you ! Mine is on its way still...(order confirmed 17th of Nov.) I had put my hopes on today (Friday). It seems I'll have to wait for the next weeks arrivals...hopefully...

I have uploaded both MvR videos to my mediafire folder. They have (.flv) abrevation. I play them with vlc player which is free. The footage is well known and I think, also included in WWI in color and 4 Years of Thunder DVDs. Here you are: http://www.mediafire.com/?gqutwwd0h33iad1

I have it downloaded form YouTube...

This is a Great site! I had it bookmarked some time ago... When I was searching for WWI flight uniforms and equipment. A pity that you can't magnify the pics enough, though...

The shape looks British to me...but may well be worn by a German pilot as RFC equipment was much favored by the other side... I may be wrong about the date and probably am, as I found a beter footage of the same movie session and the lighting conditions implaying a bright sunny day, no spec of snow in the horison so... Here is your Voss look alike? pilot Olham for better comparison: If you ask me, I don't think he is...
