that much more laughter, has just left the world. how sad...

that's a painting, not a screenie

true. haven't figured out WHY!! Stupid **@!!*ers!! LOL!!! iirc, I added the CruiseMissile AI statements. If you can figure out, man, that'd be GREAT!!! Fix whatever needs doing!! :)

a simple text edit to add the SF2 FX shader statements. don't remember them off the top of my head, but extract any of the SF2 effects inis, and you'll see them. -------- edit: these 2 for certain: EffectShaderName=effectLightLevel.fx EffectShaderName=effectFire.fx -------- converting the ships is also easy. You need the ***_col.lod (created by making a copy of the ships main lod, and renaming), and adding the SF2NA statements to the data ini. Again, any of the SF2 WW2 ships can be used as a guide

sorry, I don't remember the camera view thingy! I know there's a way, but can't remember (old age, ya know!!) === the Caviar Black 1T is my main drive; it replaced the original when it died. 5 year warranty can't be beat (and having EXTRA large externals is a must, just for standard backing ups -- I need a new one, as my 1t external is nearly full)

ONLY 60gigs? I have ONE mods folder of that size, and it's probably larger. To say nothing of the other 8 .... Might be time to invest in a 1 terabyte (or larger) HD. The WD Caviar Black 1t I bought 2 years ago for 120 USD is not 70 USD at Best Buy. -------------------- I don't thing the game will read dds decals. The engine is set up for tgas.. However, it costs nothing to test the conversion

It's doable, but it takes some time.

View File SF2 WW2 PTO B-25C Mitchell, No 18 Squadron (NEI) SF2 WW2 PTO B-25C Mitchell, No 18 Squadron (NEI), RAAF 7/30/2014 -- Something for the WW2 PTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = A mod of Veltro2k's B-25C Mitchell Bomber, for use in Australia/East Indies region of WW2. This package can be used on one of two ways: As a stand-alone "nationalized" aircraft. Which this package is; the complete aircraft. Or, as a skin for use on Veltro2k's B-25C (bomber) Mitchell. If you don't have it already, you can get the aircraft at the following URL: http://combatace.com/files/file/14905-sf2-ww2-pto-b-25cd-mitchell-pak/ This skin represents early Mitchell (C models) bombers as used by No. 18 Squadron (Netherlands East Indies), RAAF. Meaning, these were destined for ML-KNIL usage, but after the Fall of the NEI to Japanese forces, were delivered to Australia in early/mid 1942, and the Squadron formed up under RAAF jurisdiction. They did, however, still carry the NEI marking through their entire service lives. All markings are decals, and serial numbers are 100% historical for C/D Mitchells used by 18 Squadron. Decal randomization is TRUE. No weapons, guns, etc are included. Nor is the Kesselbrut pit with working bomb sight. This uses the 'generic' bomber cockpit. Sounds, pilot figures, and nation specific hangar screen are. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. =PLEASE= read them!!! If used correctly, on the WW2 Darwin map, you'll need to make a small edit in the Darwin_Nations.ini. Insturctions are in the "Notes" section. Also, instructions for easy use on the standard B-25C_v2k. Happy Landings!! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 08/08/2014 Category B-25

yes, screenshots of the offending region are QUITE helpful. So is including the X/Y coordinates of said region (from the HUDData.ini in Debug mode) without that information, it's IMPOSSIBLE to run down the supposed error

This represents the "glass nosed" bomber version used by the RAF in Western Europe. To make installation easier, this is the FULL aircraft, so people don't have to worry about copying files from one mods folder to another. There are 2 skin/decals set(s) in the package (mind you, only ONE actual skin map, ala the Brain32 trick, residing in the main aircraft's folder): No. 98 Squadron No. 320 Squadron (Netherlands) On the Loadout Screen, the Squadron Badge for each unit is used as the paint chip. The aircraft is finished in standard OD/Grey. All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. Serials for 98 Squadron are correct for this mark, but should be considered generic in nature, representing no particular aircraft within said squadron. For 320 Squadron, those marked with a single star (*) are 100% matched to their plane-in-group letter. Those marked with a double star (**), while having served in 320 could not be matched to a letter (or were replacement aircraft taking the letter of one lost on operations). Those without a star, are 'generic'. There are no ID bands, as the J model became operational several months after D-Day. Engine sounds, pilot figures, and a Hangar Screen are included. Weapons, guns, bombs, etc, are NOT; you should have them already. Operational service dates are rounded to 'whole months', and ARE relatively correct for ALL in-theatre usages. When in game, you'll see Mitchell Mk.III (v2k) on the Aircraft Selection Drop down menu. This will differentiate it from any other B-25s you may (or may not) have. As this aircraft makes use of the Invader cockpit, it has an operational bombadier station. Included is the PDF giving instructions on "how to use the bombsight". I'd reccomend not only reading it, but practicing it's use on The Range terrain. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!!! Happy Landings!!

There are several nose arts for the 380th BS, and they have been matched to their correct serial number.

maybe use the Mossie FB IV pit, as it has a gunsight? Depends if there is a crawlway from the pilot's compartment connecting to the bomb aimers nose?

no, I think it's about right. you've go the switch tracks to the sidings, one to a 'terminus'. I like it!

Since there's been a lot of discussion about this lately, I though that maybe we should have a thread that speaks to it. It's something I'd actually like to learn how to do. So.. here we go! First off, the question I have is, can they just be added to existing or 'in the works' models, or are these textures needing to be 'built' in to model while still in MAX, before exportation?? I've been experimentating a little, and they just don't show up, even with fairly hard and well defined lines. As seen below.... I mean, it LOOKS right, but just isn't appearing in game --------

you sure the LSO alignment stripe is pointed down?? or even there??? a lot of them, later in war, didn't even have them, as the Modex went right there too
