These post in the SF1 Knowledge Base helped me get started. http://combatace.com/forum/190-adding-carriers-to-campaigns/

Wrench, I had found those. That's where I got the decals on the P-80, P-84 and P-86. I'd just relined an riveted Pasko's F-80 and Russouk's F-84 and was looking for something to do with them. I smelled SWOTL 1946 and went that way. I'll have to look for EricGen's Shooting Star pre-1947 skin. Thanks for the decals. Screenshot.

Flogger, Thanks. You've simplified a more complicated method I've tried before. I guess the reason I didn't use it was because it seemed like a lot more work. But I guess if I want the end result I'll have to take the time and put out the effort. Spinners, I've found Jimbib's post in the KB on basically the same method Flogger23 explained, with more detailed steps, but I can't find anything by hgbn. Any idea where those tips reside? daddyairplanes, I'm currently interested in the 50's era. NAKED, BRIGHT AND SHINY like the F-86 natural-metal skin. I'm taking baby steps here. Other eras, other times. (Is your post being redundant and repeating itself? Just asking cause before I have my coffee my head tends to tilt to one side and my eyes refuse to focus, so I'm not sure if I'm seeing double.) russouk, WOW! That's a work of art! I imagine it took quite a bit of time to piece it together? I'm afraid if I leaned to do that and it turned out well on ONE plane, I'd want to do that to the thousand or more I have in my installs. I'd end up spending the rest of my life in Photoshop and there are still things I want to do in life, like nap in a hammock, nap in an easy chair, nap between a pair of well-rounded ... well, you get the point. Man, this skinning stuff is like a drug. One taste and you're hooked. As I'm basically lazy by nature, I was looking for an easy way to aluminize my skins, like pick a color, splash it on with a paint bucket, add a pinch of this and a dash of that, tweak the textureset.ini and viola. SHINY! You guys have given me a few ideas and probably a lot more work. Think I'll rest up before I attempt any of these methods. Thanks to all,

You could try a clean, separate install of WoE. If that works, try installing the 2008 update. Check to see if it works. Then add one mod at a time and run the game after each mod to see if you can determine which mod is messing up your video.

Early US Jets - From Straight to Swept Wings

I've managed to get Wings over Vietnam multiplaying on my LAN. The manual says we need Hyperlobby to play over the internet. Posts on Hyperlobby's site suggest we need to play on Hamachi cause Hyperlobby doesn't work well. The Third Wire form instructions get lengthy and complicated ie, opening router ports, etc. So, before I devote the time, effort and brain cells to attempting this, just wondering if anyone has their WoV, or any SF1 game, up and running on the internet and how you did it. TIA, Geary

File Name: SF1 F-86 Sabre/FJ-3 Fury Lines and Rivets Templates File Submitter: Geary File Submitted: 29 June 2014 File Category: Skin Templates / Decal Sets Redrawn Panel Lines & Rivets for SF1 Era F-86 Sabres and FJ-3 Furies. This is a .psd file at 2048 x 2048 pixels. You MUST have a software program that allows you to modify .psd files, such as Photoshop or GIMP. (There may be other programs out there that deal with .psd files, but I'm not aware of them.) You must also understand how to work with layers. The lines and rivets are drawn in pure black but the opacity can be adjusted to fit your likes. NOTE: This template can be used for skins for the SF2 KAW Sabres/Furies but because of the LOD's the skins are shiny and the lines don't show up well. I'm releasing this under the Combat Ace Fair Use Agreement. Use it anyway you wish for personal use. For any other use, please contact me first. If you find any problems with it, please PM me. If you improve it, please PM me a copy. Thanks to all who are helping me learn to skin by direct involvement and/or by inspiration.

I've never run SF2 mods other than the default, but I've read this and seems simple enough. Hope it works for you. http://combatace.com/topic/82326-running-mods-from-a-different-disk-partition/?do=findComment&comment=661060

I run mine out of the zipped file. Give that a try.

Early Morning Rescue Mission

Take a day off to celebrate you birthday. (Take a year off and tell people you are younger). Happy Birthday.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery. When you feel up to it, try a weekend at the baths at Baden-Baden. That always made me feel better.

Russouk2004, That plane looks like it was designed through Origami.

MiG-14? (Foxmonter's IAe-33 Pulqui II) (Photoshop and I can't seem to get the red right.)

HOLY LEANING TOWER!! Does that heat sink have it's own support system? What keeps your tower from falling over?

I've been thinking about going to a big screen TV for my main monitor. Need to find one I can live with. I've been wanting to build a new computer with two PCIex16 SLI slots so I can run at least 3 monitor with the same quality. For flight simming you just NEED three monitors. Just can't seem to get it al together yet. Glad I still have goals in life. Congrats on your new system.

How ORGASMIC!! What kind of Monitor/Display setup do you intend to have?
