Go to McFly's and check out the "How to add skins to SF" tutorial. Here's a link:

Then you can get skins at any of the following, plus here at BiohazCentral:

http://www.coyotesden.net/

http://skunkworks.free.fr/index.html

http://www.marcfighters.hpg.ig.com.br/index.htm (tons here)

http://www.column5.us/ (F-4's and A-4's mostly)

http://www.major-lee.net/

http://www.checksix-fr.com/ (how's your French)

Most downloads will give you instructions on how to insert the skins into the correct locations.

MarcFighters also has the files to make the MIGs and SU-7b flyable.

If he has video on the mobo and has added an add-on (read better) video card, he needs to open his BIOS and disable the on-board card. Windows will always recognize that card as long as it is finding it.

I'm up for the collateral damage theory. These things were flying in a formation of 2's with 8 total aircraft and I launched the first from 20nm out. Figure I was 8nm out when I fired the super duper sparrow.

Other option is that due to the angle, I was at their 7-8 o'clock, the missile flew through one ship to get the one I was aiming at, but it does only record one strike.

Oh, well. Let me try that again and this time I'll follow the missiles.

So, I flew my first mission with my modified F4-F. Woohoo. AAA all over the place. But please explain these:

No harm intended. It was just too good to pass up.

BTW - thanks for the tips. They will prove useful.

Man, I thought WalMart was on the bottom of the software food chain. Guess it's really Circuit City.

That would be a great change TK. It would help to keep the files centralized and uncluttered.

For starters, try unmaxing things and see if that helps. Operating system? What version of DirectX?

So, the important thing is to pay attention? :roll: Like that? Otherwise, I'll get this :shock: or this heck, I might even get this :evil:

Yeah, emoticons are great.

Ok, I'll be flying 4E's for a while, RWR will save your life.

Ouch! I guess that is one way to learn that it is working.

Thanks, TK. I'll backup my skins and mods and do a fresh install.

Cheers.

TK, quick question, is it safe to install over my existing install and not loose add-on skins, etc...

I'd try installing to the C: drive like galanti suggested. galanti, did you get your's at Circuit City also?

good catch, ranger.

Man, they are having some serious problems at simHQ today. Glad I wasn't relying on them to let me know when the patch was out.

We were hovering, TK. Watching and waiting. Now, to get home and play!

It ain't.

My guess: Laughing at all the "Where is it" posts. :roll:

Thanks for the reminder, Ranger. But, I've just decided the delay is good for me as I'm still at work and you guys aren't playing with the update without me. Yet! :P

Not sure this is a pissing contest yet. Just throwing "friendly" barbs around.

Oh well, back to programming.

I'm with you Ranger, I've had about enough of this liberal "let's all be buddies" stuff. (said with tongue firmly in cheek) :D

That was pretty good PCPilot. :roll:

BTW, when is the patch coming? ROTFLMAO

I think it is time to start charging people for posting a "Where's the patch" question.

Thanks, Ranger. It'll be nice if I could know where he is, as it'll help keep me from launching a Sidewinder up his pipe. :shock: Only done that twice so far, don't want to do it much more as I'd hate to run out of wingmen.

Yeah, it sucks bug ugly nasty rocks. Have a stupid client meeting at 4:30 and god knows how long that will take, it'll be 7-8 o'clock before I get home. Argh! But, hey, you guys have fun with it anyway. I'll get it as soon as I get home. Do a backup and install it.

BTW, does anyone know if we will be able to install the patch over our existing install without losing any add-ons?

I'm pretty sure they'll post it when they are darn ready to post it. If I was them I'd wait until 11:59pm in Texas to post it; all the ragging they've been taking lately. :shock: But I digress. I'm just waiting patiently, and quietly for it. I'll be monitoring forums for info, but as I'm at work and don't have my joystick or rudder pedals here, I'll have to wait until I get home.
