  1. Brother, his radar isn't even turned on. Elvis has left the building We're never going to see any upgrades/updates/patches/fixes for SF2 unless we do it ourselves.
  2. and a Sukhoi superjet (737 size it looks like) along with the 707, 747, and AB310 (the sukhoi is at the top of the picture)
  3. if they EWR / SAM Radars are hand placed into the _targets ini (ie: called a specific type) ARMs tend to go stupid. Also, sometimes they don't show on the RWR. If left alone, using 'generic' target tags (SAMRadar, SAMLauncher), things tend to work the way then should. It's a know issue for terraformers. Just another thing that got broke in one of the SF2 patches
  4. perhaps the llamas were mutated by a-tomic radiation?? (at least they're not green and always angry) ducks and runs away ......................................................... ------------>
  5. well, shoot!!! I thought there was one! (probably becuse I never crashed a Hawkeye!!!)

This mod represent the "C-2A(R) or "Reprocured" airframes as used from 1984 onwards. These are the 8-bladed prop versions. *This mod makes use of the stock 3W E-2C Hawkeye's destroyed model. SF2:NA is required to gain access to that lod. If you don't have NA, you may have to edit the data ini to use another destroyed model.* The aircraft is finished in standard USN Gull Grey/White. Serial number (BuNums) are 100% historly correct for this model, but should be considered generic in nature. 16 BuNums are provided, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. The templates for the skin are also supplied for other texture artists to use, and improve upon.

PLEASE read them, before installing!!! I'd also like to take this time to thank Cliff7600 for volunteering to fix some (most) of the issues I couldn't. He also supplies some very nice new skins!! *** Be advised, this model is being released in "As-Is" condition.

  8. A potentially useful research site

    Wrench replied to daddyairplanes's topic in The Pub

    GREAT site!!! Been using them for YEARS!!! One of the best to run down individual serials for aircraft, and to which squadron it served in
  9. while looking for some other pictures on the HD, I came across this. Don't know if you can use, but, here it is! model kit decals for some P-51D/K ANG unit or something
  10. unfortunately, each 3-plane flight in the squadron has it's own color band, so must be Level-2 decals. Not biggie; Wildcats only wore the full color markings for about 6 months, before going to all-over NS gray in early 1941. That one we already got! but thanks!
  11. Eric: have you checked ADFserials.com ??? they've got all the Aussie, NZ stuff
  12. hhmmm???? what about the lettering? I'm almost at the decals-per-mesh limit (there's only engine cowling & fuselage, no tail excepting the vert fin) I assume I;ll have to make another set for the right side only?? EDIT: nope, that didn't work. oh well, we tried!!!
  13. taking a closer look at the (flying) photo DA posted, we have ... wing commander - three stripes squadron commander - 2 stripes flight leader - 1 stripe stripes would be in squadron colors (whatever the hell THOSE are!!! ) all typical 1950s (ish) marking, not only for ANG and Reserves, but active units as well
  14. since the pre-war Vindicators are starting to look pretty good, I thought I have a go at one of their hangar-mates Should have known better -- the exception to the rule is "everyone once and a while, you'll find a pasko model that DOESN'T have a decal bleed" This one IS the rule -- most do. Well, there's 3 days work down the singularity ... kcuf note to self --- talk a 3d modeler willing to build new Wildcats .....
  15. one wonders if they fixed the fuel leakage problem with the integral 'wet wing' tanks
  16. also note the tailwheel doors are missing -- quite common in post-war mustangs
  17. indeed, their world center is base off the existence of their landing gear. specificly created static lods are needed for that
  18. yeah, I was gonna say the tail serial number presentation is wrong. It should look like mine. All post-war ANG units, even into the jet age (see my ANG Sabres and T-Jets) carried teh "ANG" notation. makes me wonder about the authenticity of the checks ... what needed are actual period photos
  19. now, all we need are general aviaton (light civilian) planes to park around (ie: statics)
  20. Yes, please. TELL us which F-5 it is, so maybe someone will come along and edit the announcement thread, and let other future downloaders KNOW exactly which one it's for. Just because it's fixed for you, dosen't mean it's fixed for everyone.
  21. never released this one, as is basicly a overhaul of a pre-existing one. Made all new decals with the correct font and color. But the marking ARE 100% accurate (excepting serials - they're generic)
  22. Probably better than the French-built 190As!!!
  23. Off the US eastern seaboard ... Neutrality Patrol from USS Ranger, circa March 1940 (Nazi subs BEWARE!!!)

    SF2 A-26C Invader Pak (Revamped) by Bobrock, Gerwin & Wrench 3/5/2023 = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccommended/Preferred) = *Note: This a semi=major overhaul of the original A-26C released in 2013. Gerwin has reworked many aspects of the model, and THIS MOD WILL REPLACE ALL OTHER EARLIER VERSIONS!!! You are advised to move, remove, or delete any other versions of this you have in any/all mod folders. This new packaging covers the WW2 and post-war time frame. * *Note: (again!) In 1947, the "A" for "Attack" designation was removed from use, and the A-26 Invader renamed to B-26 Invader (for Light Bomber Squadrons). Also, with the retirement of the Martin B-26 Marauder after WW2, the number was "open for reuse". However, the displayed name on the Single Mission screen will read "A-26C Invader"; as that's what it be. BTW, this is the GLASS NOSED bomber version, with working Norden bombsight. Instructional PDF included. The revamp is supplied with 3 skins: 552nd BS, 386th BG, 9th AF ETO (1944 start date) 13th BS, 3rd BG (<1950) Korean War Era Generic NMF for any time period (10/47 start date) All skins are "natural metal", some with painted on national or squadron markings. The Generic NMF marking are ALL decals, and carries post-1947 USAF markings. The serial/Buzz numbers =ARE= correct for this aircraft, but represent no particular unit. This is true for the WW2 skins serials as well. The SF2 "Date Switch" is active, and will change from the WW2 to the post-war skin in October 1947. Weapons are =NOT= included; all stock items are used.The engine sound are included, it's been switched to the AvHistory R2600 x2 wav. Each skin has its own Hangar Screen. This aircraft is also equipped with a fully functional bombsight/bombadiar position. Included is Kesselbruts pdf on "How To Use the Bombsight". I'd suggest reading it however many times it takes, and to practice, Practice, PRACTICE!!! using it on the Bombing Range Terrain. The canopy opens with the Standard Animation Keystroke (tm), Shift/0. When 'in game', you'll see A-26C Invader (BRG) on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This, also, will help to differentiate the aircraft from any other Invader you may (or may not) have. It stands for "Bobrock/Gerwin" as they did the real heavy lifting. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Also, give the "Notes" section a read too. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein from the KAW Team, circa 2013
  25. While the ship is carrying Spitires to Malta....VS-72 is helping out. Departing Scapa Flow for an anti-sub patrol (still very much a WIP)
