cloud heights are locked. Can't remember if it was a 2011 or 2012 patch that did it. Because a bunch on non-modding whiney twats pitched a bitch over on the 3W forums, caused TK to take 'drastic measures". A lot of it was because of the tga bleeds; meaning trees showing through clouds and other (can't remember the name) buffer issues. So, having a terrain specific enviromentalsys ini does really nothing now. You'll note that none of my terrain mods use them

well maybe not. Hard to work on decals and skins while looking at the screen wearing sunglasses (it cuts down the glare and brightness. Cuts the pain associated with it too. The eye, as to be expected, is swollen about half shut -- makes it hard to watch TV too. The Bright California Sun ™ REEEEEAAALLLY hurts!. Feel like a flipping vampire, afraid of the day!! There's a 'bandage' contact lens in the eye -- and it's a big one, not like the regular ones I used 25 years ago. This is more like the one Bud used in "The Abyss" (full scalera?). Vision is blurry, as to be expected. Actually, abe half again as bad is it's always been (need new glasses for about a year) I'm hoping for at least a 50-75% improvement by middle of next week, when the contact is removed. You cannot imagine how boring the day is -- even with 600 cable channels, I'm having a problem finding something to watch!!

Topics Merged a note to WINGSOVERISREAL (who doesn't respond at ALL to PMs, or even member posts in his threads...) You WILL post the rest of your helo WIP pics in THIS thread. IF you open another one ... well, I leave it to your imagination

under doctor's orders. I've just had surgery yesterday on the right eye to remove a corneal edema (like a scratch/leision/bad thing) I've been suffering with on and off since October. It got really bad after my last hernia surgery on December. Basicly, the repair is lasik, which my nearsighted ass needed anyway. WIth luck it'll improve the vision, however much, in that eye. So, I'm not supposed to be even using the computer at ALL, as they want to eye to not move back and forth very much (there goes my internet p0rn browsing!! ) Shouldn't even be posting this, right now! With luck, I'll be back in operation in 3-5 days. Which leaves me stuck NOT working on the new B-24J for the ETO -- which are nearly done!, and the south Asia terrain. They'll be done when they're done. So, there ya have it! Be back soon as I can! Don't burn the place down without me!!

Damnit! I'd thought I'd fixed all that!! thank bro!

did you change the names in the textureste ini? Is the folder itself named to match? the textureset ini should look something like this (whre the * is the next number) [TextureSet00*] Directory=Paran Name=Paran Came Nation=Paran Specular=0.400000 Glossiness=0.400000 Reflection=0.000000 DecalNumberRandomize=TRUE

View File SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak SF2 WW2 MTO USAAF P-40K-5 Pak 5/24/2014 -- Something for the WW2 MTO players -- = For SF2 ONLY, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *Note: this pak MAY be usable in 1stGen SF/Wo* game installs. However, some features (decal randomization and FM adjustments and several other things) will =NOT= be functional. Use in 1stGens has not, and cannot be, tested by me.* **Notex2: this mod is designed for use =ONLY= in a MTO-Centric mods folder** At first, I was just going to do a simple skin/decals pack. But with all the "modifications" made to fit into SF2 chose to take the "lazy man's way out" and am just uploading the entire aircraft. So, if you already have Raven's P-40K in your MTO-centric mods folder, best to back it up someplace. This is the full aircraft, with my 'tweeked' sf2-ish data ini. The skin included is for... 64th FS, 57 FG as seen in early 1943 in North Africa. Skins remain in their bmp format. New DDS damage textures (usable on all Raven's Warhawk/Kittyhawk in SF2 only) are included! All markings are decals, and Decal Randomization is TRUE. There are no nose arts. Also, via the use of my (patent pending) fake "SqTail" decal, the squadron name display is now active on the Loadout Screen. No weapons are included, except an SF2 Version of the drop tank (for those that haven't converted it yet), and 30# fragmentation bombs. When in-game, on the aircraft selection drop-down, you'll see P-40K-5 CU (Raven) This will diferentiate this for any other Warhawks you may (or may not) have. It should be noted, that of all the AAF P-40 equipped units in the Med, my source material stated that ONLY the 64th recieved the K model Warhawks. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. PLEASE read them!! Good Hunting!! Wrench Kevin Stein (note: this is one I'd forgotten to finish a few months ago! Enjoy!) Submitter Wrench Submitted 06/03/2014 Category P-40

I have an Arabic font around here someplace -- used it a long time ago on EAF Spitfires, and some others Have to search my archive externals (don't think I reinstalled that font after the HD crash over a year ago) for French, maybe just Amarillo?

View File SF2 WW2 PTO P-400 Airacobra (Export) Pak by Veltro2k SF2 WW2 PTO P-400 Airacobra (Export) Pak by Veltro2k 5/25/2014 -- Something for the PTO players -- = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = *There is a distinct possibility that this mod will =NOT= work in SF/Wo* 1stGen game installs, due various and sundry reasons* This is a mod of Veltro2k's Bell P-39D Airacobra, in to the export version, called P-400 in USAAF service. This aircraft is designed to either replace or compliment the SF2 versions I did for Wolf257's Airacobra. It's the End Users choice if you with to delete the old versions, or keep them. Both skins are in the "RAF style" camo pattern. Skins included are: 39th FS, 35th FS, early 1942 (New Guinea) 67th FS, 58th FG Mid/Late 1942 (Guadalcanal) The above are units that were used in the SouthWestPacific region, specifically Australia & New Guinea (39th), and The Solomons (Guadalcanal, 67th). The skins also use the "StartDate" switch, so as to turn on at the (almost) appropriate time. Serial numbers (RAF issued) are 100% historicaly correct for this aircraft, but should be considered 'generic' in nature, as they represent no particular aircraft within these specific units. All skins are in jpg format. Decal Randomization is TRUE. An SF2 version of the original 'box art' hangar screen are included. Damage textures are in DDS format. Sounds and a pilot figure are included. All the other items (bombs, drop tank, guns, etc) you should have already. All lighting is 100% historically correct. When in game, you'll see: P-400 Airacobra (v2k) Displayed on the Aicraft Selection Dropdown menu. This will diferentiate it from the Wolf257 version. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them. Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein ------------------------------ 6/12/2014: Version 2 uploaded. Fixes reported decal pathways issue. This is now corrected Submitter Wrench Submitted 06/02/2014 Category Other

you may have to extract the paran insignia from the cat, and create a decal folder for it. Then, rewrite the pathways in the decals ini the textureset ini they speak of, should be placed IN that aircraft's skin folder. Creates a "paran only" aircraft

New J models coming soon to an English airbase near you

awesome pics! That Skytrain is just a BEAUT!!

shouldn't have to on the SF2-specific extractor. You should have the one dated 4/12/2012

"We aims to please" (so, please aim!!!)

That's sharp looking! I like it!!

Other than the slight remod of Veltro's 1stGen, available in our handy dandy download section. http://combatace.com/files/file/13862-sf2-ww2-eto-b-26bg-marauder-pak/ Cause they really weren't used for strafing. In fact, in the ETO, many had the package guns removed to save weight. And you're not counting the gun mounts correctly. Count all the mounts -- turrets, tunnel, waist, tail, bombardier, etc. If you actually do the real research, like the Osprey Combat Units, Detail & Scale and a host of others books. Other than the link actually going for the Martin Marauder, which you may be confusing with the Douglas Invader, which definatley was used in the ground attack role. After all, it wasn't a Medium Bomber ™ but an Attack aircraft

The Krakken!!!

so, Roman Centurions, Zombies, and my favorite weapon -- 1929 Thompson, w/59 round drums. Could you ask for anything more?

have to do up some new serials and bomb wing markings for the Js .... not a problem! btw, is there still a decal bleed on the right wing near the flaps?

"dirtyexhaustemitter" ????? there's some reaaaalllllllllllllllyyyyyyy dark black ship smoke in one of Stary effect packs (think of ww1 coal burning battleships). I don't use those, so can't tell you the name. I suspect, it replaces exactly the stock shipsmokeeffect. might need renaming for smokestack emitter

why, yes. yes I do
