  1. Done, and ready for downloading!

    End of one Era, Beginning of another --
  3. Top JET Ace flys west

    S.
  4. (with tongue firmly planted in cheek) DCS?????? WTF??????? DCS???? !!!!! (couldn't help myself Stratos, no harm intended!!!)
  5. MANY many thanks!!! This one is going right into the Espana terrain!!! Will look very nice on the ramp at Rota, Moron, and maybe Torrejon!!
  6. LOL!!! Meant for Major Bloodnok, buy, hey, whoever's listening!!!
  7. COOL! My only request would be, if you could use jpgs for the textures. My (very) old PS.6 doesn't like them much (or running in win 11). With your permission, I wish to edit the existing ones to jpg. (and I'm too old and narrow minded to learn GIMP or Paint.net -- been using PS for 20+ years!)
  8. It's like the 2 scientists in "Close Encounters of the 3rd (wire) Kind", when the Mother Ship (tm) and the computer are talking - "They're talking way above my head" Don't understand what it is, but hey, it's gotta be a help to someone that knows!!!
  9. re: DC-4 Is that John Wayne in the copilot's seat????? Many, many thanks!!!! I've been putting the statics directly into the terrain folder(s), but inside their own sub-folders. We've been able to do that for ???? some time ??? and it makes not only for a (slightly) cleaner more organize folder, but does allow for textures to be linked directly to a lod, even when same names are used (example are some C-130s I've using) Souli: not flyable (or flying) , but a static Terrain Object. But thanks for the links!!!
  10. trust me, ya don't wanna go down that road. while not a difficult, even if each is in their own folder -- and this would have to be the way it's done, AND each lod would have to be uniquely named, with matching uniquely named textures, it's not really worth it. (i've already ran that road, with C-130s, and trust me on this) Note the Caravell next to the Connie, while it "should" have Air France markings, don't. So it can be used anywheres. Trust The Terraformers* --- (*a Wyland-Yutani Corporation Subsidiary)
  11. It'll have to be rebuilt as a static, so slats and flaps aren't needed. Thinner nacelles would be good, but for 'eye candy', it can slide. Just landing gear. Don't even need airliner livery, maybe a stripe. I've removed all such from parked statics, in keeping with the 'generic type'. Here's the Connie at Lisbon's international. Looks perfect!!!
  12. YES!!! Those would all come in handy for something, at some time for somewhere!!! The 121 series for Southeast Asia definately. IIRC, russo's Connie is the alphasim...wonder if the textures will work? Well, downloading now Thank you sir!!!
  13. I wish we had the 737. For 1970s-to date, they're EVERYWHERE!!!
  14. Same here, by JimBib 707, 727, 747, 757, 767, "regional jet" (uses Russo's static Sukoi super jet as it smaller than a 737), Caravelle, DC-8, DC-9, Comet, Concord, Tri-Star, A300 series. There's also a Learjet 25 Plus if you know where to look, a DC-3 from "somebody else" (not DAT). I also have some other, made from other things. Please note, the 707 is the -300 version, and has 2 different versions, one is PanAm the other is BOAC. They're based off the TMF 707. A lot of these WILL be showing up in the "Espana" terrain rebuild when I get finished with it. What I'd love to see, is more prop jobs -- DC-4/6/7 series, would love a Constellation (one of the most beautiful birds ever to grace the sky). Also, more general aviation birds; Cessnas, Pipers, wherevers. On any side of the fence. Those of us that build terrains, have a really good sense of "what can go where" based on stock 3W airfield parking slots, and how to avoid them. As to helicopters ... that's a tale for another day ... (for other reasons)
  15. I totally agree with Gepard. I only added my comment, cause I'm lazy Built tooooooooo many things as individual items. But his does look better!
  16. It's not your fault -- we've been having issues with the board's software for several months. I took care it :)
  17. why not use the sam site object? it's pretty much already laid out for SA-2 batteries. Then, you can link it with 'road objects' if needed.
  18. yup, that decal PSD is most definately gonna be a BIG help to ya!!!
  19. If I may be so bold, as to suggest to the original poster to download and explore one of the many Weapons Packs we have that bring many of the missiles and other weapons more in line with the Real World (tm), when and where possible. Enjoy! (btw: NICE collection of vehicles!!!! !!!)
  20. I've asked for that announcement to be added MANY times -- it needs to be clearly stated. Having it so, would make it easier for new(er) members to understand the situation. Unfortunately, I don't have access to edit such things. If I did, I sure would!
  21. Gepard did the air defenses, I'm just doing 2 bases (well, unless he needs more help, which I doubt) Here's a couple of shots of Nakon Phanom , TAE and in-game. (you can see the differences) Nightmare trying to find good map of the base layout. So, some "things" are conjecture. I'll pass all this along (albeit in VNSEA) to Gepard this weekend. He'll have some retiling to do for both these bases (read: expand the clear airbase zones)
  22. not just the new tools (TAE expecially!!), but lots and lots of new terrain objects; buildings and such, and most important, the improvements in our own skill levels!!!
  23. Haven't downloaded it yet, but it should be easy to adjust the year spread in the DRV.ini. If it has this statement (taken from VietnamSEA.ini) [AllowedDates] StartDate=8/2/1964 EndDate=4/30/1975 just simply change the end year === I added the perimeter roads to Ubon, and now working on Nakon Phanom. Should have it, with luck, but the end of the week
