actually, I'm quite enjoying seeing the beer adverts from around the world!! (no screenie, sorry; i'll post one later)

check the Freeware thread; I'm pretty sure WBS is a signatory and Aleks ???? ok, so Saudi becomes NEUTRAL, too. But, be advised ... that map is completely WRONG for carrier ops. There isn't enough sea room at the top of the Gulf (as no self respecting CVBG commander would get his task force pinned into such narrow and shallow waters)

for the terrain targets ini: Iran = neutral Iraq = enemy Everybody Else ™ = Friendly the bitch if finding out who's on what side!! The planning maps will show that, even though I never did switch them! But you'll get the idea, or at worst, the locations on either side of The Front Line (which will need to be completely redrawn; not difficult at all). and don't forget to ask before tweeking the terrain. (I usually always say Yes, but like to asked first It's a personal thang )

from a suggestion by Paulo...

indeed, we do! Like Gocad's 1st FG Lightnings I (re)did last month!

View File SF2 WW2/Post-War Lockheed P-38L Lightning SF2 WW2/Post-War Lockheed P-38L Lightning 4/9/2014 -- Something for, well, Anyone! -- = For SF2, Full-5 Merged (Reccomended/Preferred) = Some mods for Wolf257's P-38L Lightning give you a version for late WW2 and the early Post War Time frame. While keeping the standard WW2 start date, the service time has been extended to include some use by the newly formed USAF (post October, 1947). Meaning, retirement date is December 1949 (approximately true!). This is =NOT= a "What If..." aircraft. 2 skins are included, both are in Natural Metal. They're names are: NM (a generic type, with plane-in-group numbers) USAF (with post-1947 markings) There are no squadron or unit markings for either skin. There is litterally NO data available. The NM skin can be used pretty much anywere for WW2. The USAF skin will automtically "switch on" in 10/1947. All new skins (now with rivets!!) are in jpg format. Both aircraft use a 'pool' of Serial numbers and they should be considered 'generic' in nature, but ARE for the model variant depicted. The post-1947 skin has the addition of "Buzz Numbers", that have the correct letter prefix assigned to P-38s All markings are decals, and decal randomization is TRUE. All weapons, sounds, and a pilot figure are included. Both skins have individual Hangar Screens. When in game, you'll see: P-38L Lightning (Post War) (w) This, and the folder being name "P-38L_pw" will seperate it from any WW2 types you may have. The "PW" is for "Post War". The "W" is for Wolf, further diferentiating this from other Lightnings that you may or may not have. As always, fairly easy to follow, yet detailed install instructions are included. So, please read them! Good Hunting! Wrench Kevin Stein Submitter Wrench Submitted 04/10/2014 Category P-38

yes, they do. it's a detachable mesh just try what I've suggested, and let us know. the original D are in cat 008

THAT sounds like a data ini problem. don't forget, sf2 introduced the "built in drop tanks"; meaning they're not longer separate lods, but part of the aircraft model. outdated data and loadout ini WILL cause this. you never said exactly WHICH F-4E it is ... but I'd start looking in cat 8

sovietgunner.bmp should be the skin map the infantry squad. however, there are a couple others around, so double check.. it all depends on WHICH of the squad lods was used as a base there are no OUT files available for the main lod, only the destroyed one. at worst, open the main lod in a hex editor, and search for bmp. that'll give you the name

I actually have a full copy of MAX, but need the key (not sure the code key generator I have is current). Less said of HOW I got it, the better, (wink, wink, nudge nudge) if you know what I mean ---------- ok, skins are just about done!

Moors?? I thought they left in the 1400s!!!

no room

it all depends on which model Rhino it is they're scattered all over....

and Piecemeal's Desert 4 thingy, all the bases get new accessories

yup

yes, indeed. I have a full listing. I'm also thinking some of the AdA and AMI's might have been F-5; the recon variant. But they don't count!!

also, check that the aircraft's data in is the latest one, for whatever patch level your at. if in doubt, back up the old one, and extract a new, drop it in the aircraft folder and retest (before condemming the weapons) just to be safe

It did!!!???? Well, I'll be damned!! That's good news! In testing, I just kept sliding off the deck, missing the wires!! on autopilot! RN carriers were worse! I fell off the deck and they ran me over!!

more P-61 progress; thanks to Veltro! building panel lines. fuselage is next, then the rivets, and dialing in the muzzle positions for the cannon and MGs on the 61B. just ignore the red dot .. it's an identifier/locator to help me figure out which side of the nacelle is which, so I can straighten out the panel llnes (gotta love multi layers!!)

and LOTS of experience in ADDING them, too! the statement above comes from the Fw-190s, that don't have pylons. Those may not be fully (ok, aren't!) correct, but they work, and give the drop tanks and bombs something to hang from

not so much missing the 'fake pilot', but missing his "seat" the object that is replaced by the pilot dangling is what's not there. Look in the data ini, usually in the //Crew section, for something like this (it may not be labeled like I do, but you'll get the idea.: //fake-pilot for pylons// [CenterPylon] SystemType=Pilot_Cockpit Position=0.0,0.0,0.0 PILOTMODELNAME=FakePilot SeatModelName=T-28_PylonL <--- whatever the 'seat' is, is the item you're missing. it'll be listed here SeatPosition=0.0,0.367,-0.685 SeatID=2 then, look in the /Pilots folder for the item. It it's not here, that's why. We'll need to know the name of the item, and then it's pretty easy to locate it.

data comes from 2 lines of text and one photo in the Detail and Scale book (for USAF) China had a few during the civil war (both sides; prolly less than a dozen total) AdA and AMI phased them out pretty quickly. I've got 2 skins for it; generic NM for 1944-Oct 47, and the post-47 seen above. So, it usefull for both late WW2 and post-war. The star didn't change (adding the red stripe to the white bar) until the USAF was officially formed in 47, so the ww2 star-and-bar is historically correct on ALL US aircraft of the time (even the Navy! :) ) OTH, don't forget the P-38M Night Lightnig was in use by the Occupation Forces in Japan, and some in China before the commie take over. All that one would need is the new AvHistory engine sound, maybe some data in tweeks, and the post-47 star. IIRC, they also got retired in 1949. French in Indochina? Wouldn't have have just used their Thunderbolts, like in Algeria?? it all makes for good 'what ifing', huh? I guess I'll assemble a pack, and you all can have fun with it. Wish we had a better pit; Wolfs is quite long in the tooth!

the sabre and migs were done by Fubar; they 99.9 % of realilty. They be the bomb!!!

some months ago, somebody asked about this. I have one. What little data is available seems to indicate they only served within the Continental US, and were retired by late 48/early 49 Is there any interest in my releasing it?? Just for fun, grins and giggles kind of thing? I'm pretty sure it's the L model.
