Wrench

i think this moot, as paulo just released his ... and his look better!!!

well, I guess I can stop fiddling with mine! (I like yours better!! ) thanks!! EDIT: since the national marking are painted on, here's a little trick to get the nation name to show up on the Loadout Screen's menu open the decals ini, and add this: [Decal007] MeshName=wing_left DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=InsigniaWingL Position=0.0,0.0 Scale=0.000001 DecalMaxLOD=3 this'll force the game engine to 'think' there's a marking there, and turn-on the name on the loadout screen

there is NO stock cockpit for the BirdDog, as it was always an AI aircraft, and never designed for player usage (it's poor FM alone says that). you might, with a lot of work, get the SF2 mod I uploaded to work. good luck!

there's a bit of a problem with the shock/intake cones ...they're only mapped at one place for both sides... as you can see below. uforntunately, might have to drop the accuracy a bit, and leave them black (you know how I hate being inaccurate, to0!) those badges ARE small! let me see what I can do....

which stencil? the white one on the radome?

better? or is the triange too red? needs the tail badge decal, which I can't seem to find anywhere!

yes, they really aren't needed is SF2, due to the fact that individual weapons are folderized with their own main ini and data inis. don't even need the Editor, realy, anymore

Samuri .... (new zealand standing in for Hokkido). These skins are just sooooooooooooo well done ... (figure if I to an overhaul on the JASDF Zippers, we'll get them as a DLC!)

Tell ME about it!!!

Ready on the Cat.... stand by to launch!!

anyone else notice, that IF you're NOT on the Sept2011 update, you can't install it?? my days just keep getting better and better.... so.. are the faults in that patch fixed, or am I gonna get screwed?

mine, of course, be slightly different (prolly for the screenie location), but here it is: (also, has the extended end years)

ok... new, generic NM for anyone, shown using stock 3W decals 2 views of the new SEA 3-tone for BAF (sony's decals) does it look ok, or? let me know!

these might be more 'modern'...but maybe usefull! http://www.airsqnpatches.com/BELGICA.htm

Actually, not so much. Using bobrock template, just repaint (via new layer) the 3tone and see what happens! bobrock's template comes with a GREAT NM layer, too. lots of stencling, etc the only difference I've noted, looking at the pics in Lock-ON #1 (104G-J, mostly focused on BAF zippers) is the red waring stripe and placard i'll post some pics later (of both)

did any of these downloads come with the AircraftObject.ini??? perhaps this might be of assistance: http://combatace.com/topic/32892-controls-not-working-andor-mapped-oddly/ rename AO.ini to test

boy, do I feel dumb ... the ONLY place I didn't look.... wanted to upgrade/upsize Sony's SEA 3-Tone skin, withOUT having to redraw everything meself. thanks guys!

I'd think the HAF roundells and finflash would be a dead giveaway.... ------- be veeerry verrry quite ... we're hunting SAMs....

look in ObjectData015.cat .. there's a LOT of BAF numbers and codes hidden in there (stumbled on them today looking for BLW Zipper codes)

well...let's see.....off the top of my head, RAAF Mirages (he did say 'they were coming', iirc, right after I released my pak) of course, to do it up right, 3 different versions would be needed. Clem's available, if one knows where to look. The SF2 version I'd uploaded was removed at Marcello's request; I'd thought it was TMFs, since it was in one of their packs, but it weren't.

that's because it's referencing an airfield ini that's NOT in the cat file that's being pointed to for object reference. A common problem, easily fixed by dropping ALL the airfield inis (including to German/Soviet/VPAF base inis) INTO the terrain in question (hence, the reason they're always included with my terrain mods -- can't take for granted that the End User ™ will have the proper terrain cat to reference.) or, if the terrain guy is smart, just using the standard or garden variety Desest airfield inis for both side, and make target object adjustments accordingly.

same difference!!

i take it you found it then? http://combatace.com/topic/53913-canopy-operations/
