never used elements.. still using PS 6 for decals, even though I have PS 7 I don't like the way it handles text and tgas

if you remove, or rename, the menu screens and any associated inis, does the problem disappear?

shouldn't these be in the conveniently provided Screenshot Forum??

well, considering the FM hasn't been changed since the original release in 2007 ... and was done by someone with questionable accuracy ... one somewhat minor fault isn't too bad. Still needs a destroyed model, though. Mirage (delta wing) is waaaaaaaay to small. B-52 is not quite the right shape, but closer! BTW, the inis are stil in ANSI, so no conversion should be necessary. Even the LOD is still ANSI

If you have the Tu-114 from that pack, you are advised to DELETE that aircraft completely, otherwise there will be conflicts and complications. If you don't have it, don't worry! Also, this mod will most likely =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level.* This is a (nearly) complete rebuild of the Tu-114 airliner (NATO codename "Cleat") as seen in the above mentioned mod pack. It has been (nearly) completely overhauled, and is designed mainly to have something other that the usual An-12s and Li-2s (C-47) seen parked around your Red Airfields ™. See "Change List" in the Notes section for all the changes and fixes. All new decals, with 12 historical Aeroflot/Soviet registration numbers were created. All markings are decals and decal randomization is TRUE. The skin is now in jpg format. On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see Tu-114 Cleat As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!!

Wow!! thanks Dave!!

File Name: SF2 Tu-95 Bear-A Remod Pak File Submitter: Wrench File Submitted: 05 October 2015 File Category: Other SF2 Tu-95 Bear-A Remod Pak 10/4/2015 = For SF2, Full 5 Merged RECCOMENDED! = *NOTE: due to excessive changes and additions, this mod will =NOT= work in 1stGen games at any patch level* This is a Re-release/Re-mod of Veltro2k's Soviet Cold War Heavy Bomber aircraft, originally released in 2008. This pack represents the 'standard' Tu-95 Bear-A "conventional" level bomber (yes, it can carry one nuke -not supplied). The skin remains in its original bmp format and all markings are decals. All decals used reference stock 3W Soviet markings (thus, the NON inclusion of any decals). Decal randomization is TRUE. The inis has been completely revamped, with a "new" FM, avionics, loadouts, sounds, new pilot figures, and an "new" cockpit. The cockpit, while not a perfect match, is much closer to the "steam gauge" Bear pit of the era. See "Notes" section for full change list. On the Aircraft Selection drop-down, you'll see Tu-95M Bear-A (v2k) This will make it easier to select, and diferentiate it from any other Bear-As that might be wandering around in your backyard. As always, fairly easy to follow, detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Also, give the "Notes" section a read, in particular on Operational Usage. For those that may still have the original release (from 2008), as there HAVE been major changes and additions you may want to delete said original in it's entirety. **This aircraft herein are released in "AS IS" Condition. Any and all issues/problems that cannot be solved via ini edits will exist forever, unless a newer model (LOD) become available**. Happy Landings!

it's called ground effect

doesn't IrfanView do that? (I don't remember!!)

Russian style, like the image below, for letters and numbers. I don't even have an idea as to it's name!! TIA!

thanks gents!

$s, or more precisely, lack thereof at the development end

Hey, DA, you know the West wasn't the only one with airliners, right???

and you're saying that to Sundowner, probably the greatest skinner the SF series has ever seen? The acknowledged Phantom expert of this series? Now, THAT's funny!!

Hey, CL you need to extract a newer, later data ini for those SPADs ... as you can see the missing letters of the on the fues & tail. Sometime after 7/12, it got changed and fouled up all my hard work. (to test, rename the one in the aircraft folder, and you'll see the decals magicly return)

the short answer is no. the TFD tool is worse than useless for that. you should be using the TargetAreaEditor, but you'll still need to set things (the center 0/0 point) by hand

that's because the TOD buildings are below scale. Been a problem since Day 1, SFP1

guess you've never heard of the Turkish F-4E 2020 or JASDF F-4EJ-kai, or Greek F-4E (AUP) All HUD/Glass cockpit equipped

there's a tutorial about that in the 1stGen Knowledge Base. I suggest you read ALL the terrain tutorials in the KB. Your questions are answered therein.

well, I can safely say the stock NA 95RT has to also, to some extent. meh... maybe I'll just leave them off!!

we're be here waiting on ya, brudda!!

hmm.. stock 3w soviet number decals are 128x/128. So,what? make them wider by a factor or 2? or 4? that would mean 100 decals to be stretched... or, I could just be inaccurate, and move it off the nose gear doors, and put it on the nose?

I set them all to 0 on all the decals inis, and they worked perfectly for me, on all the ships (mind you, I've only done the WW2 versions). Look at the names of the individual decals ... they're all set for each hull in the class, as are the individual skins. Setting them to 0 locks them TO each ship (CV-21 gets ONLY the "21" named decals. You would set them to 2 if there was ONLY one skin set, and allowing the game engine to use the names list to randomly select hull number and name when the ships appear (also at random) in single missions. Just like the stock 3W carriers/DD/FFG/etc
