  1. so, Roman Centurions, Zombies, and my favorite weapon -- 1929 Thompson, w/59 round drums. Could you ask for anything more?
  2. 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?
  3. "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
  4. prolly the pre-production version that BAE used at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough "BAE Evaluation" is pretty self explanatory -- BAE being the manufacturer, Evaluation the paint job they used to "sell" the plane Personally, I'd have expected a more "hi-viz" finish, as with most prototypes
  5. as I used the Lightning cockpit (if one owns the SF2 that gave it to us) on the Sea Vixen sf2 update in 2011, I created this little illustration to explain the missile cues. This should help
  6. Storm, you on win7 or later?? if so, this path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Strategy First\Falklands 1982\Objects\Weapons) aint' gonna work. That's the protected region of the HD, and not "usable" for modding things Move the whole SF directory/.../ to the ROOT of the C drive (ie: C:/WoE, for example) also, 7 & later has issues with ALL the 1stGen editors/extractors. Put them on you desktop, and try running from there. Or place the zips on the desktop, and run from inside the zipped thingy
  7. Indeed. I'd be wary of pissing off the tail gunner, though!!!
  8. the KAW mustangs (in the D/L section here) already have the relevant units -------------- Just had to try a FFAF Airacobra for the MTO
  9. panel lines are still wwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy to dark. Also, fade down the "blurred" panel lines. Maybe around 15-20% max
  10. the other is waaay to yellow; almost like RLM SandGelb wonder if RAF Middle Stone might not be closer?? Here's the RGB for it: 176 147 92
  11. Yah, seriously! You'd think the IRIAF would at least throw a tarp over it to keep it clean! Or park it in the garage!! don't forget, too, he uses a "noise" on the painted sections, where most of us a "clouds" layer. For mine I use 50% grey and 75% grey and fade to 10-15%, depending on the base colors
  12. Rare Airacobra victory over The Canal (Ed's new P-39/P-400 coming soon!)
  13. this is the _2 map from the AilCat DLC
  14. BTW, Happy Birthday, WingZero!!!
  15. View File SF2 DLC #19: A-4L Skyhawk Skins/Ini Pak SF2 DLC #19: A-4L Skyhawk Skins/Ini Pak 5/29/2014 = For SF2, Full-4/5 Merged, =WITH= DLC #19 (Full-5 Reccomended/Preferred) = *DLC #19 is REQUIRED for this mod!!* **Please note, this pack is set up for the 3W A-4L Skyhawk DLC pack #19 ONLY!!! It is NOT be confused or USED with the Crab_02/Column5 mod. If you have the C2/C5 version, You are advised to REMOVE that mod COMPLETLY BEFORE installing this one!! It will cause conflicts, faults and General Mayhem. You have been warned!!!** This pack contains skins/decals for the following units: VC-13 "Fighting Saints" as based at NAS/MCAS Miramar VC-2 "Falcons" as based at NAS Oceana Several reworked inis included are: Data.ini (operable canopy, Standard Keystroke ™, Shift/0, landing light) Loadout ini (better offensive loadouts) main ini (A-4L.ini, with resequenced skin listings - these are now 1 & 2) All markings, excepting the squadon tail codes and VC-13's hump, are decals. The tail markings for both are painted on the skin. Decal randomization is TRUE, but be advised there's only 7 Modex for VC-2, and 12 for VC-13. This IS historically correct. When installing, just allow the overwrite of the inis. I've fiddled with the skin listing order, to make them more user friendly. However, if you wish to keep the original order, BACKUP THE MAIN, A-4L.INI -=BEFORE=- INSTALLING THIS MOD!!! *REMINDER!!! You =MUST= have DLC #19 to access the aircraft and it's other associated files.* As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please -READ- them!!

  17. gimme a base OD/Grey skin ... I gots buttloads of decals!!!
  18. here's VC-2 "Falcons" still have to exactly dial in the fuse stripe, but 98.6% there! I also fixed the loadouts; they just weren't right. and the window opens, too.
  19. ok, so I went and spent the 3 buck and bought the DLC A-4L. It's mapped 100% identical to the A-4F below is the start of the VC-13 "Saints" skin ... just have to figure out the mesh names for the hump for the "SAINTS" decal (which I"ll have to make), and the mapping for the light blue paint job on it as well
  20. IIRC, FastCargo gave detailed instructions, pretty much like what I wrote above, in the FakePilot download. Sometimes, however, it's easy to forget things!
  21. the mapping SHOULD be the same; the mesh names also as any A-4E (with hump) extract a full base set of one skin (all 4 maps), and the decals ini. And maybe the squadron list ini; if one the Loadout screen (or the aircraft's main ini lists any squadrons). I'd buy the A-4L, but I just don't feel like rebuilding all the WW2 installs --- cause all the 'core files' get updated whenever a patch or DLC is installed. It's not that hard; just rename the mods folders to hide them, delete the old exes and create new ones, run the games, delete the "new" mods folder -except the Options and Version inis. I'm just getting lazy
  22. You're very welcome!!
  23. AFAIK, when a DLC is added, and it uses specific squadrons, the "patch path" rebuilds whatever inis are necessary. Malibu, I'd already rebuilt the E_67 to the L, using the 'remove component trick' and other ini edits to delete the outer pylons. But after finding out there's a DLC A-4L, quit working on it. figuring out the mapping for the various squadrons, in particular on the hump, would be a bugger. OTH, doing it like TK does, with decals, would be the next best alternative
  24. Indeed! A Russo D Jug. It'll be a BEAUTY!
