The VAL program demanded that the new aircraft would be based on an existing design in order to reduce the development time, so it's not much a surprise that they experienced less problems than with the Tomcat, which was a completely new design.

Yeah, I know. But I prefer doing skins of units that have not been done yet. Peg Leg Petes anyone?

Do you have a merged install? That's what I dislike about the merged install, it replaces the WOV loadingscreen, which looks a lot better than the WOE one.

You do know this site already, Wrench, right? Check 'ZD' and 'ZG'.

Crusader skins for west coast units that have not been done yet...hmm, let's see: - VF-51 Screaming Eagles, CVW-5 (tailcode NF)* *: I know corktip has already made this one, but that one is for the F-8J and I'm currently trying to figure out how to include CAG-specifc markings. - VSF-86 'Gators' (that's what I like about the Crusader, it was not only used by fighter squadrons) - VF-91 Red Lightnings, CVW-9 (tailcode 'NG'), later redesignated VF-194 after assignment to CVW-19 - VF-111 Sundowners, CVW-11 (tailcode 'NH') - that can be done in a few minutes - VF-124 Crusader College, CVWR-12 (tailcode 'NJ') - VF-141 Iron Angels, CVW-14 (tailcode 'NK'), later redesignated VF-53 after assignment to CVW-5 - VF-142 Fighting Falcons, CVW-14 (tailcode 'NK'), later redesignated VF-96 after assignment to CVW-9 - VF-154 Grandslammers, CVW-15 (tailcode 'NL') - for the F-8B, I'm currently working on it. - VF-211 Checkertails, CVW-2 (tailcode 'NE') - that might be a nice Dash 1 skin

Hmm, perhaps I should do the CVW-11 and 8 as well then. That should cover all their deployments, since I do remember that Corktip has made a CVW-16 skin for the F-8C (DO WANT!)

Btw, is there any interest in a few additional Sundowner skins? They're basically finished, which isn't much of surprise since both skins didn't need much work. Definitely a lot less than the VF-154 Dash One skin that's currently driving me crazy...

Are you trying to make the other skinners feel bad since they usually only do 12-16 decals per skin?

TK is working on a patch that will bring SFP1/WOV/WOE up to WOI standard and it will be released in about 'two weeks'.

I'm quite confident that it will come with the release of the F-8H/P, just as Dave said a few pages ago. Something tells me that he knows what he is talking about.

That's all I can say at the moment.

As usual.

Sweet. I assume the pit uses the WOI-avionics70.dll?

That's me crashing into a Flogger that I had just gunned down at point blank range. If that doesn't qualify for the title of Worst. Sim combat pilot. Ever. then I don't know what to say.

Incendary rounds?
