(don't know what happened with the quotation box there...to answer the question: only 1stGens locate the decals sub folder ( Objects/Aircraft/F-86F/336th(skin)/D/*nameofdecal* in skin sub folder the aircraft main folder SF2 uses a seperate /Objects/Decals/Name-of-aircraft/name-of-skin/-decals-/name of decal format. Something TK changed when going to the SF2, seperate mods folders concept/formate/wingdongs7 also, the DecalMaxLod= MUST be listed in each decal statement in the ini. Oddly, in 1stGens it wasn't necessary. We only found that out (SF2) when converting older aircraft TO sf2, and finding the decals didn't show, all else being equal. OTH, 1stGens CAN use the Objects/Decals/etc..... that's been tested by me and it works fine.

Don't know if any of you have seen this fan made short film yet, but it's worth it!

also, is the bomb set to EXPORTED=TRUE?

There are some terrains where NavalMap=TRUE simply just doesn't work

.

The only Phantom missing from the stock hangar is the "S" model. All the others, B,C,D,J are stock 3w units. The F-4N is available as the DLC, and for the price, well worth it, as is the JASDF F-4EJ. The BLW (German) F-4E and F-4F are stock from SF2:E. Be advised, when downloading and adding 3rd party Phantoms; the Mirage Factory units come directly to mind, you may need to rename the non-factory addons (via folder and main ini to something NOT stock, as there WILL be conflicts when/if you get the 3W units. If that seems confusing, we'll clear that up when it's needed to do so. It's really easy to do. Phantoms is one of the main things that's great about the SF/Wo*/SF2 series

believe me, I've scoured those 'less than honest sites" myself, as angelp was working on the Clunk with us in the CAF Forums, and I ain't found nothing either. so, it's very difficult and rare to find things

I know I shouldn't have used the "laughing" smilie above, but couldn't help it. as to mission profile, low level with 'over the shoulder' delivery would be my guess

dumb bombs -- shoved right down their throat or up their ass. only way to be sure

Here's another one. The original site must have closed, so it's been moved. http://www.forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/index.html scroll to the bottom, Non US/Non Warsaw Pact, look for CF-100. You'll get a listing of ALL serials, and a short service history of all the aircraft (prototype and production)

my jealously know no bounds!!! congrats on the anniversery AND the new rig!!

simmerspaintshop has been closed for well over a year now. A sad thing -- it was the BEST resource around

and PLEASE post your findings! Us terraformers are quite interested to know

don't remember the link, but somewhere in one of the KB (either in SF/Wo* or SF2) there's a NM tutorial that's pretty damn good. I used it on the B-17s and B-24s Veltro and I did. Plus, I know there's a way to add actual metallic textures, but never figured it out

You don't even need to actually "create" new holes tga/dds. The way I've been doing it for the last several years, is simply find one of the stock ones that's "close enough", via comparing it to the skin maps. Then, it's a simple copy and rename to match the X-aircraft's skins. Saves a fuckload of time, and works just as well (yea, I'm a cheater. After 15 years with this game, I'm allowed!! )

just make sure of WHERE and WHO that aircraft is from. If you follow my drift also, I"d highly suggest NOT posting exe files. A lot of people have serious issues with them. Maybe a zip would be better?

3) damage modeling is not only controlled by the _holes.tga (or _holes.dds if used), but as yakarov started to say, by the model itself. Very few 3rd party models incorporate "damaged" parts (stock aircraft do). Many of the data inis are also lacking "detatch nodes" for the bits that fall off when hit. The internal model (built is as damage meshes for the main LOD) take up extra polys and can increase "heaviness" of the model. This is why you'll see wings and tail planes shot/broken off, and can look INSIDE the main model. Unfortunately, not all 3rd party model makers include them. Some do, some don't, some refer to 'stock 3w' units. That may not always match the mapping of the aircraft the damage (holes) is "somewhat" applied like a decal, as it does just simply overlay the sections of the aircraft, as Yakarov & daddyairplanes said. The more skin maps each model has, the more _holes.tga/dds are needed. Best way to see this, is extract them take a look. They can be found in various ObjectData cat, see the example below. In SF2, all stock damage textures are dds

dosen't the ALT key allow rotation in all directions?

maybe it's been many, many years. oth, I don't remember there EVER being a bomb release sound "attachable" to a bomb (going all the way back to 2003 when they 1st came out)

I believe it might be set for the weapons themselves

It'd be my suggestion (a suggestion ONLY!) that at some point, the new lods SHOULD be added to the original download packages. I know it's a real pain in the ass (tm), but in later days, some folks might not be clued in enough to know to go find them. I'd also suggest uploading the updated LODs as a unit, maybe into the "Objects Mods" section BTW, great job on these! Congrats to all!

I wouldn't mind going to Denmark and checking it out. just saying ....

sure looks like a model to me ... look at the shadows, the grass and other vegetation, the sheen/shine one the bird itself. and, honestly, why the hell would the Danes need a folding winged Meatbox? ---

Can't wait either! without giving too much away, the last episode of Season 2, had me in a cold sweat ... it was that close and powerful. A huge Well Done to the cast and crew for that! For those that haven't ever read it, I DO reccomend the book, even though the series is somewhat different.

not to worry... if you didn't get the reference, Google "Hammer's Slammers"
