    He will be missed greatly.

    Was a shock to all who work here with me in Iraq - when I read this and announced his passing...

    My Dad listened to him everyday... grew up with him on the radio, as am sure everyone else did.

     

    RIP

    think is due to the fact that SF2 uses some new code with the LODs - as I and others tried to import SF2 models back to WoV etc - and the fact that the MF model does not have the same mesh names as the new SF2 models... most likely the former reason - try the SFG lods and see what you get.

     

    --OR--

     

    just edit:

     

    [LOD001]

    Filename=Kurnass.lod

    Distance=8000 <---------- here

     

    and delete the rest of the LOD entries.

    and the Dragon kit: (some issues but no more work than updating the old Hasegawa kits)

    I have several Hasegawa 1/32 kits and the Eagle Editions decals above but in 1/48. (IIRC).

    I to have has issues finding decals for 1/48th scale kits... some are OOP.

    (I would dig into my stash... but I am deployed at the moment)

    genau!!!

    not only:

    VF-96 200 - 155800

    but also by timeframe and operation.

    With my VF-92 skin - I was missing info on 3 aircraft so I used some later BuNos to fill in the blanks - not to late as I am making skins for mid 1972.

    Mytai had some excellent F-4B skins with info included - these skins and SDs skins are used as basis.

    Did you see the differences in the F-4J skin mapping in the Oct2008b patch? Esp the _5.bmp with the chin intakes and canopy frame area....

    Or am I thinking of SF2 .... I am not on my comp atm... will check when I am off work.

    bis dann.

    Who (unit) was at Grand Forks in the late '80s?

    I remember visiting GFAFB in the early '80s and watching 52s take off and land.

    Later, watching the Bone on one of 3 landing/holding patterns from the GFs farm... ah those were the days... and having 3 Minuteman silos less than 5 miles from the house.

    Trying to keep up with a Bone while they flew parallel to Hwy 18 in my '73 Pontiac... wings swept @ a few hundred feet!!

    I was fortunate to get a personal tour of 'Vanna White' in 1988 w/2 friends of mine - did not know that we could have got clearance to take pics if we would have asked prior.

    Also we 'flew' an instrument simulator and crashed @ Edwards!!!

    This model is excellent! Brings back alot of memories.
