given a 'known' number of aircraft in service, I usualy extrapolate from a whole number up and down. example: Myanmyr has 10, with a know serial of 108; I'd start at 100, go to 110, and use the randomization feature

yeah, edit the terrain Nations ini, and activate the LimitedNations=TRUE in the main ini. (btw, the game's Nations.in classes Etiopia as 'Friendly', all others are Enemy. Just extract it, and have a look see. I don't see WHY you'd need to ... Somailia is set as ENEMY, as is Sudan, Eritrea, Yemen and several "visiting teams" Ogadenen War was in my mind, when building this, as well as the 'incidents' between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

short answer is no the game has no support for such a thing. take the advice as given above

Happy Birthday !!!!

you ain't lying, brother!! of course, one could just use my Patent Pending set of Generic Target Buildings ™: Every city gets at least one of each: Generator Building1 (as 'Admin Building') Building2 (as 'Ops Building') CityBuilding3 (as 'telephone/telegraph office'*) warehouse (just a couple scattered around) HQ building (well, depending if you don't use...) GovtBldg (repurposed CityBuilding1) Fire department watertower and of course, the Star of Every Terrain Targets Ini.... The EvildamnCommBuilding!!!! *=which is a type of Comm_Building! Oh! the Humanity!! For Extra Credit: what with Europe having bunches and lots of rivers ... there's all them damn bridges!! edit: just for grins and giggles, Gepards BoB terrain contains MANY landmark buildings ... Arc de Triumph, Tower of London and other buildings from all over Europe. The Effiel Tower seems to cause CTDs for some reason, though...

your' kidding, right??? Exp1 gave us the Mig15, 2 spitfires, vampires, meteor, mustang, dakota (which is the skytrain to me) get with the program, baby!! (or, get THE program!!)

i've got the Vigi all tweekified for SF2 as well. just never assembled a package!!

that's the one! It's just too screwed up to convert to SF2 -- and sooooooooooo many issues that I can't even remember them all! it's a pit too, as it's got the size/region required

according the SSP "Gunships" book, they used both kinds; the SUU-13 pod is the later variant. I'll take either!! I'm easy (but not cheap!)

forgot about the Deutschland terrain ... got it here somewhere; I'll look when I can! IIRC, Ansons covers pretty much all Western Europe, down to the Med. He's got a thread in 1stGens somewhere; maybe the older posts will show the HFD, giving some idea. just a quickie from SFMap (found the terrain in my one remainig 1stGen instll...) for some reason, the Red Side bases aren't showing....and Gerwins TFD tool won't open it all (tile errors it sayd) but, at least, this'll give some idea (also, for some reason, things seem a bit "displaced" from their postions -- have to check the targets ini)

the Whale tail marking is cool! by the skyline, I'd guess NAS Alameda (been there!)

cool Russ!!! The pics show the barrels black, and 'mechanism' more a dull metal color. We have the M134 miniguns already (the gundatat), so after pod location, it just a matter of dailing in the 'muzzle flashs' WEll, more or less

WOOOOTT!!!!! Happy Birthday man!!! here's 2 round on me!

been having some issues with the dell studio xps, with the GTX240 vid card ... damn thing seemed to be overheating, and shutting down. Not loosing the computer, like a bad PS - everything's still running (speaking working, HD spinning, all power on -in fact the mission I was flying was still running in the background) so, only way out was a hard shut down with the power switch (we all know how much WinDoze loves that!) Pulled the side panel, blew out all the fans, ducts, etc. Even pulled the vid card and blew out ITs fan. but it still did it. Spent half the night reading the boards at nvidia.com; seems to be a chronic problem with dells with this card as there were 5 or 6 posts on the same problem This morning, I pull the vid card again, and THIS time , I take off the heatsink/fan housing cover. And find the edges clogged with crud. Blew it out, and picked at the rest with a toothpick. The pic below is the crap that came out -- packed hard. I used a cig for scale (ya, as a smoker cleaning the insided is more important!) Sorr for the huge size ...I wanted to make sure folks could see these mini-turds The moral of the story .... not only BACKUP YOU HD!!! but clean out the insides once in a while! The fan is so quite now, I can't even hear it, but can feel the airflow from the side vent

I can have the VAH-13 done in a few days....needs BuNums. Completly revamped pit (based off my work on Buny's B-66), fixed lights, wing folds, avionics, loadout, canopy glass, lots of little details, etc etc etc. (unfortunately, unable to fix the massive decal bleed on the right rear fues, right smack dab where the insigina goes!) in screenie below, all markings are decals (partly retemplated to remove stuff) most of those showing in the picc are "Queers" -- the elint birds (EA-3B?). look at all the antenna bulges/blisters

gettin' there....still more decals to make (and if a 3d guy wants to build 3 minigun mounts ... I'll place them!)

oh!.... that's just mean!!!

simple decal swap (well, new skin for IRIAF) the xdecalname is because I didn't have any serials

no, actually it's kinda sad! to quote William Shatner: I need to "Get A Life"

And Gepard's WW2 BoB map is too far west .... even with 'modernization' So,there's a big gap between GCE and anything else That leaves the Impossible To Fix ™ EAW-EuroWW2 map; so, in essence, no map exists. I'd shudder to think of the targeting needed for for late 40 Western Europe Gepard: thanks for the correction! I did't know that!

I'd seriouly wait until SF2NA comes out ... the odds are, something will get changed in how SSMs work given the new ships that are comgin

this might be of use too, http://military-machine.blogspot.com/2011/12/aerograph-5-douglas-3-skywarrior.html

saaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttttt!! Go For It Paulo!!! (I made my own templates off those stock skins ... I think yours are better!)

Sea-Desert-Farm1 Sea-Farm-Desert1 Sea-Desert-Mountain1 Sea-Mountain-Desert1 Sea2Mountain50 "You know you've been using the Terrain Editor too long when...." you can look at a screenie and ID all the tiles

thanks! It's the auto mechanic I was; he has to take everything apart to see how it works, and IF something comes apart, maybe fix the bits inside!
