I like the mix of the med sea gray/green with the mid stone (? or is it dark earth ?) and green!!! that'll confuse the heck outta Jerry!!! all in all...looking REAL good. Now, I have to find Hudson/A-29 art work for a hangar screen.... Wrench kevin stein

mike: try Jennifer Garner (Alias, Daredevil, Electra) Interesting to note the terrain choices here... Wrench kevin stein

It should be, but I couldn't find it either... here's what you do: using Skypats Cat Extractor tool, extract the "HUDDdata.ini" from the FlightData.cat open the HUDData.ini in any text editor, notepad works fine. scroll down until you see the following entry: there are a couple of way to eliminate it; 1) comment out the "DisplayType=" line, thusly: //DisplayType=RADAR <-- note the 2 slash marks or 2) reduce the display sizes to 0 thusly: Width=0.0 Height=0.0 This will make it disappear. Also, if you want to remove the background box from the on-screen text displays, go back to the top section, and to this... that should take of you Wrench kevin stein

My first girlfriend in High School had one of the Vega GTs...exactly as you described - red wth the white stripe. Spent many and hour driving up and down Mullhuland and the canyons in that thing . Horsepower? -- yah, like none!!! Good in the turns Cosworth Vegas...well, that's a 'hole nuther story.... Instresting to note, a few years later, Chevy came out with the Monza's, basicaly the Vega chassis -but now with an available 5.0 ltr V8 (305 cid). Always wondered how them little tiny disc brakes, and really small drums in back were able to stop that thing!! It was REALLLLY fun trying to the the last spark plugs (disremember if it was 6/8 or 5/7) I remember you had to disconnect the motor mount, and jack up the engine. BTW, I still have the special tool required to collapse the rear drum self adjuster mechanisms. I don't even think this tool is available anymore, anywhere, from anyone. Yah, lots of memories.....sigh..... Wrench kevin stein 18436572

Only 13 installs??? (this from the guy who's pared his down to 17 from 21....) WoE TMF F-15, TMF F-16, TMF Mirage IIICJ * Widesky, BunyapPak (edited to remove some things --until TMF's WoE pak comes out) ??? so many good terrains (and some REALLY good rebuilds...) Can I have Jenny Garner instead, for a terrain to explore???? Wrench kevin stein you'll probably think I'm a bit "odd" selecting jets, when I'm such a confirmed prop-head

Yah, me too!! Gotta see how the enhanced targets sit..... Stary, PM Major Lee - he shows up every now and then, and see if he's still got the texturelist ini archived somewhere! Wrench kevin stein

Damn, Nicki!! That is one nice skin! I've got the "Warpaint" on the Hudson on pdf, if that'll be of any use to anyone... Wrench kevin stein

NUTS!! Ed, you trying to make me go out and spend money to find the DVD for "Captains of the Clouds"??? For those that haven't seen this Jimmy Cagney vehicle, Hudsons figure in the last quater of the film, as they're ferrying a bunch from Canada to England (aircraft take off was filmed at Lockheed Burbank; the birds were right off the production line) Tyrone Power's "Yank in the RAF" has some too...THAT one I have!! wrench kevin stein

It's a 'What If...' experiment, as I'd never flown the Buffalos against anything but IJN/IJAAF birds. All the serial numbers I used are real, too, from the aborted Belgian delivery. I 'assumed' the aircraft would wind up somewheres (I actually think they wound up in SEA/Burma/etc region. Easy enough to change the call letter -- it's part of the skin. Only the individual letters and serials are decals. Actually managed to hold my own against the Emils...I got 4 and wingmates got another 4, but we lost 5! Wrench kevin stein

Is this of any help??? wrench kevin stein

Not to do too much of a thread hijack, but here's a couple more, BoF and BoB (and don't laugh at the BoB ones -- well, not too much ) 12 Squadron Battle, Advanced Air Striking Force: Partial reskin, with new markings; still need to do serial numbers Not sure how to state this properly.... "Do you wish to feel wholely inadquate in combat? Want to be the laughing stock of the enemy, so that when they see you they can't control themselves, and plow right into the ground?? Well, then, if that's what you want bunky, then sign up with the RAF and get posted to No.66 Squadron!! We have our brand new American-built Brewster Buffalos!!" I gotta admit, those 4 50 cals do a HELL of a lot more damage then 8 303s!!! (why waste a new template??) Wrench kevin stein

Happy Birthday Otto!!!! make sure it a great day! Wrench kevin stein

Q: How to you get a kill without a hit? (referenced to A-A action only - a qualifier) A: Outfly them look up the term "CFIT" my favorite way....insert evil laugh -->HERE<--- Wrench kevin stein

The first jamming (ECM) devices were used in WW2; both as active countermeasures (electronics) and passive (chaff or 'window'). Radar warning devices started appearing (methink in RAF bombers) around 1943. P-38, P-51 and I think some P-47s carried a rear radar warning reciever/transmitter of some kind in late 44. Late model B-29s could also have a small aft looking radar for the tail gunner to use. (got pictures around here somewhere...) Think of noise jammers as a big blanket, covering the spectrum, trying to drown out the search/track radar beams (like the idiot next to you in traffic, with the his 45000 watt speaker system in a Honda Civic, or you turning up the stero to cover up the sound of your brakes grinding up the rotors) IIRC, deceptive jammers create false images of your aircraft, to fool (decieve ->hence deceptive) for the radars/missiles/radar guided AAA to look at, whilst you hopefully slip through with too many holes magically appearing in your aricraft. Simplified explinations, of course. Info on the history of ECM/ECCM readily available on the web. Researching WW2 nightfighters helps too... Wrench kevin stein

aahhhhaa...i see said the blind man...you went AROUND the roundel, with a larger decal! (vader voice) MOST Impressive!! Figuring out the spacing must've been a real bee--oiych!! the movie is a great reference, that's how I got the codes and serials for my "BoB Movie" Spit 1 skin Gotta love DVD freeze frame and zoom!!! BTW, I'd suggest not trying the half/half scheme for 1939/40 BoF...the raditor scoop is mapped to the undernose section, and dosen't even want to take a decal to cover it. 1 Sqdn, AASF Oct/Nov 1939: Oddly enough, the references FOR the raditor scoop decal have been removed in these shots...I must have missed something on the skin map Well, least I finally got the right lower roundels...!! Wrench kevin stein

Um.....like Fubar said. Don't tell nobody about the free gas...expeically at today's prices.... ---------- edit the Douglas refuleing pod's entry in the weaponsdata ini, and turn it into a 0 strength jammer. Like I did with the Scooter humps. Right now, it's set as a gunpod, thereby forcing itself to load. Wrench kevin stein

Ok, where's the decal bleed on the cowling, and how'd you get rid of it???? Wrench kevin stein

Happy Birthday Gents!!! Wrench kevin stein

Would it be possible to get just a little more information??? what's not working? Is it not unzipping? Is it not showing up in your folder structure (provided you unzipped it to a temp folder somewhere, and then did the copy/paste in the A-7's main folder)? Is it not showing up on the drop down menu on the Loadout screen, so you can select the skin? Is it actually placed in the CORRECT A-7 - meaning the one built by ArmorDave, and NOT a stock 3rdWire one??? Totally out of curiosity, is there a textureset.ini included with the skin? If not, you'll have to make one Wrench kevin stein

Like it says, some new mods, updates of some old (and in one case, utter garbage). F2A Buffalo, VF-2, USS Lexington, Dec 1941: Gets a cockpit update, and some other minor ini tweeks Another F2A, VMF-212 Ewa, March 1942 (this totally replaces the original from 2005 - as it was total crap!) New skin and ini tweeks to the TBF-1C (lots of minor imporvements), VT-2, USS Hornet, June-ish 1944 (for the upcoming Marina Island map) All up now at my site Enjoy! Wrench kevin stein link down here in my sig....--->

Fact checking in order.... There would be NO mushroom cloud on a AIR Burst detonation ... the cloud is generated by debris and cities and "other organic material" that gets sucked up into the atmosphere by the near-ground or at ground detonation. I'd suggest perusing the web, places like FAS.org or even this one... http://www.zvis.com/nuclear/nukimgs.shtml and brushing up on the subject at bit. --- The "aerialnukeffect' that came/comes with the bunyap pak works just fine for Genie. Been using it every since it first came out with no issues Wrench kevin stein

IIRC, there used to be a gun sounds mod by Fubar Failing the locating of that, you can open the gundata.ini (notepads good enough, as you only want to "see" what's listed), and find the various flak guns; probably the 57mm , 85 and 90mm for the KS-12 and 19... the gun effects and sounds should be listed; then it's just a simple matter of copy/paste the effects, sounds, tgas, etc, into another game install /Effect folder BTW: might be easier to use the data in the OTC gundata ini, adding any other guns from you original install Wrench kevin stein

does it use a postive or negative number for the MaxSteeringAngle= ??? if negative, try switching it to positive (remove the minus sign) any particular terrain, or all of them?? Wrench kevin stein

Yes, there is one "in progress" We also have an ex-Bone pilot here here...Harold, time to jump in!! Wrench kevin stein

why would you want to rename and move a 50-odd meg file, when you can do the same thing with 20-odd characters, typed into the main terrain ini??? All explained in the Thread I pointed you to... CatFile=..\Desert\Desert.cat CatFile=..\GermanyCE\GermanyCE.cat CatFile=..\VietnamSEA\VietnamSEA.cat picky whichever one is relevant to your game install... Wrench kevin stein
