Re: KAW Skyraiders it's the same issue I experienced with the stock Spit 9s after the May 2013 patch. Notice it's only the decals on the RIGHT side, left are ok. It's a data ini problem. backup/rename the original, as you'll be copy/pasting bits from it One needs to extract the LATEST NEWEST data ini -at the July '13 patch level, copy paste all the relevant 'new statements' I added (lights, canopy, engine sound, pilot figure etc) this needs doing for all the KAW skyraiders built from TKs A-1H (any with the _3W tag) it's a 5 minute job; when the downloads are active again, I'll post the relevant new/rebuilt data inis edit: the same will HAVE to be done to the later, post-Korean SPADs too (A-1H, A-1H_67, A-1J, A-1J_67)

"Scratch one battlewagon" or Dear Admiral Kurita; one of you ships is missing

with a 280 meg size, it had to be updating a LOT of stuff!!

almost afraid to find out ... maybe fixing the tail wheels on the DLC Spits that some folks were talking about? (oddly, never happened to me looks like time to save out my ww2 mods folders again

a pity we don't have multiplayer in SF2... I have Major Lee's "Air Race" terrain. It's kinda cool, as the "pylons" are mountain spires

formations ini, afaik (that where I got the truck stuff above)

Otto, dude! you totally ROCK!!

warehouse 14??

index or RGB format?? odd, the 'direct name replacement' should work. I just did it for 60 tiles on the Iran/Iraq, IR2003 and desert storm terrains, with no problems. the physical size (256, 512, 1024) doesn't seem to matter, as the engine will stretch the tile to fit (example of replacement desert, desert2farm 25, 50, 75 below) all I can say is I hope you backed up the originals. try putting them back

unless it's a sea2*** transition, when it's 32 bit tga w/alpha!

ok the set is ready. nearly 60 tiles!!! but the downloads/uploads are still offline, so I hope to get them up before the weekend, or whenever it come back up.

they seem to be still nonfunctional. Getting the message I've got a new tile set that ready for upload!! (replacement for DS and the Iran/Iraq terrains) thanks Boss!

is the tile you're replacing listed IN the terrain's data ini??? If so, is it named EXACTLY like the one you're replacing? A black square represents a missing tile -- one that should be present within the given terrain folder, that ain't there also, a screenshot would help

depends on what it's for, I think for example, a truck route I usually start 2 tiles away from a 'given' city (if there are cities on the map), and usually run them for 10-15 tile widths for ground attack (tank, troop assault) I try to keep them fairly close, as even our 'long range' artillery ain't so long ranged (for routes that may come up against a 'fortified' position). Infantry is a whole nuther thing ... they move so slowly, and have such short ranged weapons ... 3 tiles total is my usual - the end points for 'start here, and 2 very close together in the middle, so they mix it up. in the screenie below, I actually have the 'center battle point' in the wrong place, and will need to re write this route. otherwise infantry just sits there, and looking dumb. Tanks will engage each other, but there's not a lot of Japanese armor on Leyte. (also, for some stupid reason the 'solid ground' is acting like water and rockets and bombs don't go off. something wrong in the HFD methinks. so, this route may be deleted altogether)

what issues are we talking about?

yes, transports (and cargo ships) have their own formations, as listed in the Formations.ini I think this bit, is the spacing and such haven't messed with it much (ok, at all)

excellent! I didn't know we had "synchrozized" as a statement for SF2!!

I had to do the experiment... the IME desert tiles actually work pretty good ... the glare and brightness is reduced a good number, and still gives the "look" to the terrain but... there's about 60+ tiles to redo. I'd forgotten I made all the frakking road tiles AND their various transitions.. this is something I'll be slowly working on, in between my ww2 stuff (terrains the phillipines is driving me bat-shit crazy, as there just sooooo much wrong with it that needs correcting and aircraft) the good thing is, they're a one click replacement for the original tiles. Meaning they drop right into ODS, Iran/Irag and IR2003. and can be used on any terrain that uses that tile set

oh boy...does that mean my nekked chicks Nose Art decals really weren't allowed???

red spinners are standard MTO markings, as is an RAF style fin flash however, stars are most likely in 4 positions, not 6 during TORCH, several squadrons had the US Flag in the opposite positions of the wing stars. The flag was removed after TORCH, probably within a few weeks (if not days). Yellow surround star roundel seemed to last to approx. end of 42, and in some cases, into 43, before reverting back to the non-bordered blue background

I knew this sunburst pattern was gonna be a bitch..... 68th FS, Solomons, early 1943 (wip -very much so!)

decals pathway needs a very small edit: should read as: P-40F-5-CU/Desert/D/ ***name of decal***

um...The Gallery, here at CA? post it there, and then a simply copy/paste of the images url back here to the Screenies thread easy peasy
