  1. Ok, as promised, after hitting 300 pages, I've closed that old thread, and have now opened a new one!! Remember, no posting without a screenshot!! Have it people!!! Enjoy!
  2. View File Simmers Paint Shop Color Chips Simmers Paint Shop Color Chips 6/29/2025 With the loss of Simmers Paint Shop, a lot of fantastic information has been lost forever for those texture artists that like the ability to fully match the proper colors for any and (mostly) all eras and countries. Listed are not only the color chips, the the R/G/B and Hex values to (re)create them in your own image manipulation programs (GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.net, etc) These are given the US Federal Standard, and for Luftwaffe, the RLM converted to FS coding. I don't remember when I found these, but here they are. Included are the original png format images, and I've converted them to jpgs for easier viewing with various and sundry programs. Be advised, the images are QUITE large, so you'll need to zoom in on them. Included herein are chips for: Japan - IJN, IJAAF, JASDF Germany - Luftwaffe RLM/RAL UK - RAF British Standard Russia/Soviet Union - VVS colorlist USA - USAF, USN, US Army I hope you enjoy these, and make good use of them!!! Even though I uploaded to the SF2 category, these are usefull for any and all games or what-have-yous that you'd like to use them for!! :) Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 06/29/2025 Category Utilities / Editors  
  3. I just wish I could have collected all their fonts as well. They had EVERYTHING!!!
  4. I'll bet those Atolls are juuuuuuuuusst a little bit better than the Firestreak & Red Eyes!!
  5. "Rick? Everyone knows Rick. This is his place. Everyone comes to Rick's"
  6. something else it does weirdly ... I repainted the flags on this F-30 Frigate, as more than Spain uses them. (ya'll know my fetish for Easter Eggs...) anyway, here's what the TAE sees, vs that YOU see ingame. Very odd!! (exact same ship!!)
  7. Version 1.0.0

  8. you're going to have to learn the Target Area Editor. Also, there's a 50km "bubble of reality" surrounding YOUR aircraft. Nothing that's a game-generated Ground Object will exist OUTSIDE of the radius. Also, nothing that's a game generated (or target built placed Ground Object) will show on the inflight map until you get close enough. Exact distance changes with the winds.
  9. On the WW2 "Okinawa" map, I set up the landing beaches for the US invasion. Offshore, there are naval ships that just keep pumping out gunfire untile everything is destroyed or they run out of ammo!
  10. No, it's because downloads are now subscription only. It's the only way we have to gaining the necessary funds to keep the doors open. Sorry, but that's the unfortunate truth
  11. we've had working ballistic missiles (and arty) since SF1. One of the things is making sure the launch/firing vehicle has a high enough veiwport (SEVERAL Km in the sky) to see to the horizon. IIRC, the original ODS and Op Darius had working IRBMs (I should know!! <grin>) What's funny, is the Iowa class BBs will launch the Tomahawks as SAMs against incoming aircraft. Funny as hell to watch!
  12. Question: those blue roofed items at the lower right, are they the 170m SunShelter? If so, how did you "repaint" the roof??? I've been trying to do that, but even with the LOD viewer, I've not found the correct texture. Thanks!
  13. the one I have (not sure which version), the cockpit ini calls for the Kfir C1's pit. Do you have SF2:I as part of your merged install?? Meaning: if the mod references a STOCK cockpit, it does not need a cockpit folder, as it will "pull" the needed parts for the relevant cat file. (I've done this several times myself)
  14. Gib harbor and The Rock (always hear that in Sean Connery's voice for some reason...) Dedicated to our own Rock Ape, Trotski
  15. are you missing the "fake pilot" and the add-on parts it uses ??
  16. Short answer: No. It was designed for systems from 2002, it's first release. SF2 just changed a bit of coding for Win 7. Mostly graphical, with few "other changes" (there's an old thread around somewhere here, that explains most of the changes/upgrades.) My experience is no issues with Win 10 or now 11 on the new machine. Everything maxed out (the new machine) well over 100 fps. Of course, it is a desktop. I think we should consider ourselves VERY lucky the damn thing runs at all in 10 & 11; given the complete and utter lack of support from the manufacturer. If it weren't for the modders, it would have faded away.
  17. maybe you might want to let us know for WHICH game this question is related??? Otherwise, we can't give you an answer (or move this thread to the correct Forum)
  18. Health update

    You'll get through this!! We're all right there with you!!! Stay Strong and Have Faith!!
  19. I cannot believe those stencils are actually legable!! You can read every word!!! Fantastic Detail!!! (tm)
  20. Preguntas varias y dudas en general

    Unfortunately, CA has gone to a subscription mode. You have to buy one of these (there are several choices) to be able to download. Sorry, that's just the way it is
  21. AAAAAGGGGHHH!!!! I've been looking for good parked statics for DC-9/MD-80/B727!!!! We NEED some good statics; civilian, general aviation and military!!! looks like a PM to JimBib is in order!!
  22. check the WEASPON's data ini, the missile itself. I don't have that one, but here's an example from the stock SA2: These, of course, are the stock 3W sounds. (note, the Guideline has no sustainer rocket). At worst, you can swap out any differing sounds from that missile to these, and see if they work
  23. XWVM Alpha has been released.

    I've not downloaded or installed it yet, but I did get a fresh GOG copy of XW. I'm gonna wait a bit, as their site said "you may have to uninstall when updates arrive" or something to that effect.. BUT IT LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, there don't seem to be a link for the editor to download from ...hmmm...
  24. I know we have the Dedalo , but I swear I've seen the Príncipe de Asturias somewhere. Or am I just high?? If we do have (and I've looked!), can someone point me in the right direction? TIA!
