Thanks, I was afraid I'd have to make my own...eventually.

Thanks. Was dreading making my own.

SF2 Stock Skins fit SF1 Planes. Most need some adjustment but eventually work.

Stratos, Is this the post you are referring to? Down toward bottom of page. http://combatace.com/topic/63073-what-if-screenshot-thread/page-93 Sundowner's F-4M 2000 with back canopy cover + ravenclaw_007's F-4E skin + Wrench's F-110 Wraith bits + my glue = a single-seat F-4. I would love to have this done to the F-4E.

I've been playing with some of the recently released YAP Helipaks. They are released as is ... no weapons, etc. Some come with weapons/launchers built into/onto the lod. Some of the choppers come with weapons that are common/standard to what's available here at CA in one or more of the numerous weapons packs, but a few helicopters are proving to be a challenge to get weapons to work. For instance, the AH-1F Cobra. It comes with modified M65 TOW launch tube system built into the aircraft lod. The callout in the loadout.ini is for a 'RackType=M65_A1.' I can't find this in any weapons packs, so I guess YAP made their own. It also calls for a BGM71 TOW to be used in the rack. The rack is for four TOW missiles. The BGM71 TOW is available but is ONE TOW missile There is an M65 TOW launch rack available with FOUR TOW missiles but it doesn't quite fit into the built-in M65_A1, so I can't place it inside the M65_A1 without parts of the M65 system showing through the M65-A1. CONFUSED? My challenge is to get FOUR BGM71 TOW missiles into the built-in M65_A1 TOW launch tubes on each side of the AH-1F. I haven't been able to wrap my head around this one. There's probably a simple way to do this, but I can't seem to figure it out, so ... any ideas? BTW if anyone got the OH-6A Cayuse and haven't figured out how to get the M-158_M229a system working, I got that one fixed. I modified the M-158_229. Shoot me a PM and I'll explain it if needed. Thanks, Geary

I've looked in the template sections for both SF1 and SF2 but can't find any. I've seen some nice line and rivet work on a few skins so I'm guessing someone made a template. If so, can you share it? If not, I'll make my own. TIA, Geary

Any effort if appreciated.

MiG-15bis adjusted skins. (For Pasko's SF1 MiG-15bis. Original Skins by God Knows Who. I've seen references to Column5, wpnssgt, volks, whiteknight, gramps, Gepard, Wrench, Steve Rizor, USAFMTL ... and probably a half-dozen I've missed, unintentionally. Unfortunately, when I redo the panel lines and rivets I have to repaint the skins to get rid of the old lines and rivets. This means I also paint over the great weathering on these skins. I suck at weathering. I used and modified suhsjake's MiG_15_Templates.) Thanks to all who've created or had anything to do with this plane and skins. Still gives me much pleasure after all these years.

Dave, I did this one for the DAT AH-1W about a year ago. If this is the one your want, you're welcomed to it. If not, which helo do you want this for? Camo.7z Might still have the template I made for it if you want to improve on it. Just ask and I'll look. EDIT: Just re-read the part where you pointed to the yakarov79 AH-1Q. Sorry, haven't messed with that one yet. It's nice as it is, but wish he'd fix the shadow lines.
