you're tga is either a) too large or b) (and more likely) has a defect in the alpha channel or c) (less likely) more than 3 decals on the mesh a screenshot would be of TREMENDOUS help in nailing down the diagnosis Make sure that 1) your "background" image is square -- ALL decals in 3W sims MUST be square (128/128, 512/512, etc) 2) make sure you have AT MINIMUM a 5 pixel 'clear zone' around the central image 3) make sure you're saving the image as a 32bit tga (24bit + 8bit Alpha) there's several tutorials around here on decal creation ... inculuding TKs original from 2003 ... i don't rememember where exacatly they are, so you'll have to search for them btw, in the all the ObjectCats, you'll find 3 digit "GermanNum***.tga" (albeit it black and only numbering 100-199 -and most likely WEST German...), but those should give you a basic idea for the size/etc for DDR Borts wrench kevin stein

misnamed bmp or misnamed in the LOD. Like Frank said, you'll need a hexeidtor to fix the LOD, or just rename the bmp to match what the LOD calls for wrench kevin stein

parkbrich klein (sp?) from Gepard's Euro/WarPac airfields is a nice flat slab 100x50 meters. (makes a nice helo landing/parking area) HOWEVER ... like the 3 concrete_plattes from The Factory Place, they are a completel "flatobject", and need to be placed ONLY in regions taht are already flat, OR that get flattened via the Terrain Editors "Level Airfield" function and, like PB said, ther's a ZBuffer issue since the last patch that causes some visual oddities.... wrench kevin stein

It's "ASW" (as in American SouthWest -even though, traditionally, that would be more Arizona/New Mexico than SW Texas). Both ASW and India-Pak do NOT make use of limited/allowed mission statments ... something's wrong with aircraft and/or game install. No problems at this end; my stuff gets tested to destruction, and beyond. Maybe a delete/reinstall of the modfolder may be necessary? wrench kevin stein

It uses the same Sabre cockpit we've been using since Zur (the Great and Powerful) released it years ago. The only changes are to the avinoics ini, adding the radar ranging gunsight. (an SF2 only thing). You might have to adjus the landing gear's rolling radi; SF2 seem to read "center of the lod as being lower", making need for some adjustments. Otherwise, it's pretty much the same as it ever was wrench kevin stein

Specificaly, WHICH terrain??? 'Cause as of the 08 patch, and continuing into SF2, you can limit the types of missions flown ON that terrain, regardless of what the aircraft's data ini says Have you looked at the terrains main ini, for the AllowedMissionTypes= statements??? A little more information here would be of great assistence... wrench kevin stein

For TOD objects; trees and buildings, require a higher SolidObject and AlphaObject count (AFAIK) wrench kevin stein

ok, NOW it's clear to me!! Well thought out!!! .. usually, for WhatIfs, one just 'shoehorns' in whatever seems to work, for a given time period. Whereas, the SAN Mirage is loosly based off what the Paki's did to their Mir3s and 5s (using what's already in game due to laziness, although heavily researched on the PAF versions) As the Once (and maybe again Future) King of What If..I couldn't AGREE more!!! "If so-and-so chooses to use this-or-that, how would it be made to work" The very essence of historicaly accurate "What Ifs". My compliments, sir!! wrench kevin stein

LOTS of smoke. Personally, I'd leave it alone. But that's me, as kinda like my guns realistic wrench kevin stein

all this radar running around has been taken care of in my aformentioned Panamanian ROSE1 Mirage (albeit, for the 90s - one could easily remove the HUD statements from the avionics ini, and rewrite it for a simplified, pre-HUD style, late 70s maybe; it that's a choice) Y'all are working WAY too hard for a "What Ifer..." (why do you think I use ALL stock, in-game items, right down to the CorsairIIs pit??) wrench kevin stein

look in the SF2/Aircraft downloads section .. I rereleased one a month or two ago. You'll have to move the decals sub-folder BACK into the skin folder, but the back-conversion work should minimal. HOwever, you won't be able to take advantage of the radar-ranging gunsight, as that's an SF2 only thing http://combatace.com/files/file/11593-raaf-cac-sabre-mk32/ wrench kevin stein

and commenting out the GunFireEffect= and TracerTexture= ...would do...???? think about it wrench kevin stein

did you try removing the statements from the guns' data ini??? wrench kevin stein

Or the SF2I Nesher body ... wrench kevin stein

It's good to see you back, Paul!!!! But I'm "concerned" about that sheep in your avatar!! wrench kevin stein

did you add the advanced AI sections to the Flucrumbs data ini?? (the various listing for Dogfight Novice/Experinced/Ace/whatever) AND, I would DEFINATELY add the correct weapons, and reedit the loadout ini. I'll also bet that there's might be something 'off' in the avionics and/or detect systems. But not having it in front of me, I can't say for certain. wrench kevin stein

the creator of the cockpit left the community some years ago. Go for it adding effects to weapons is a simple edit of each weapons' data ini. Look to one that has effects (stock CBU or napalm, for example) to see how they sit wrench kevin stein

a lot of my 'what ifs' were WW2 time frame... Kawasaki Ki-109 "Mike" and the Ki-201 'Night Dragon' wrench kevin stein

Take a look at the "What If.." Panamanian Mirage I did ... it's got a (nearly) full ROSE-1 upgrade. Requires a Full-4 merged, as it uses bits and stuff from more modern aircraft (HUD, TEWS, etc) wrench kevin stein

Found one! Ar-296, Arado-built version of the B6N 'Jill', as flown from land bases or the KM Graf Zepellin (carrier) wrench kevin stein

AH HA! The Admins restored a couple of the Moderator functions, and I've stickied this, as per your request Spinners! Now,to find some of screenies of my other mods for the Masquerade.... wrench kevin stein

The Havoc and Blenheim look REALLLY good!! Never had CFS3 ... 1 and expecially 2 burned me out wrench kevin stein

If you look over my recent rebuild of the Iran/Iraq map, you'll see thats what I've been doing (also in Korea, Libya, and a couple forthcoming -MidWest USA, Central America and the Cuba rebuild) etc) Putting the various and sundry factories INTO the cities themselves is far easier; as is adding 'integrel' (sp?) AD units (check out the HAWKs in Teheran) It eliminates a boatload of issues caused by the overlaps. The only way to fly. OTH, there ARE several 'standalone' target areas, simply because they AREN't acutally in a city (ie: Baghdad's SAM ring, the Nuclear Research center etc) It may cause some issues during missions, where you are supposed to 'strike the such-and-such factory', as to now it'sll say "strike the steel mill in Hooterville" My 'newish' philosophy is: if the thing is in a city, it goes there. If its NOT exacly within the city limits (like an oil refinery, example- Shah-e-ray south of/outside Teheran), it's gets its own. AFTER finishing off targeting the nearby city. wrench kevin stein
