Thanks for your support for this sim enthusiast .

S!

Very good looking!!

That RF-4C noose I understand is from an aircraft existing, is it released anywhere? I didn´t see it before.

S!

If I have the story right, there was a cadre of very vocal whiners who made a big stink about the flight models of the German aircraft in IL2 being substandard. I believe they claimed that Oleg Maddox, being Russion, had puposefully given the German aircraft poorer performance that the Russian aircraft.

Thats right, Column5. I´m a IL-2 pilot, usually 190 pilot, and you can call me a Luftwhiner too in fact. But as said not only Luftwaffe aircraft are "unterplanes", p-51, P-47 and so are also very bad modelled. And I´m convinced Oleg do it consciously... A claim too is the bad visibility in Fw190 cockpit, clearly fake with a "thing" covering the Revi!!

Sorry for the offtopic, but as I´m a Luftwhiner... .

Edit: Brain32, you write while I was also!! XDD ;)

Gracias!! Thanks!!

I made a Spanish campaign modifying original desert campaign from SFP1, was easy. It were from 1955 flying a Sabre (my next upload), through Starfighter, and then F-4C. For that reason I previewed a Hornet skin, that want to make next now, that will continue that campaign until nowadays if wanted. But think I loose all files.

I tryed also a Spain map for a hypothetic Spain/North African campaign, but first of all I downloaded the terrain utility years ago without any kind of help, and no possibility of find it. And then I used various terrain elevation maps as a base, but none of them work properly . Terrain editor is a hard thing without any information of use.

But the thing is I´m modder of too many sims yet... I cannot do the all work I wonder.

S!

Con dos cojones tio!!!

Gracias tio!! Hay pocos españoles por aquí, y menos fuera...

I´ll upload as soon as possible.

S!

Ok, its uploaded and working.

S!

Many thanks Wrench!!!! I didn´t knew where can I find that people and was concerned about it.

I knew about upload not all files, but I think its better upload the entire thing, as LOD´s are the minor "weight" in a .zip. But could be people downloading my aircraft that have no original, because I´m posting my uploads in spanish forums for people, in some cases, that knew little or nothing about that sim. And I need to modify Data.ini, and F86.ini, loading screen, hangar screen, of course texture... the only not modify are LOD´s. The problem is that sim is not as simple as, for example, FS for adding aircraft. There are many files to be added and a lot of possible modifications and files, and its not easy for beginners. If it were possible, and have permission from creators, I prefer upload all as a whole working ended thing.

Wait for the permission. Thanks!!

S!

I´m interested in upload a country specific aircraft I made with F-86F, but in readme are only names that made the aircraft, no mail were send suggest or look for permission for repaints. One of the names that made that aircraft is USAFMTL, and I wonder if he can give me that permission or at least give me an email were I can take it.

The work is done, only little arrange needed for upload, but I did for personal use only, then now I want permission for upload as country especific aircraft, but modification is done yet!! hope no problem with that.

Thank you in advance!!

Well, now with the help you provided me for the F-4C I make corrections for upload this aircraft much faster, and its prepared now.

Again is a country especific aircraft. Spanish insignia corrected and the same that F-4C. I reworked pilot and included an orange old style, typical in that era for Spanish Air Force. Even at first time Spanish Phamtom pilots wore it!! Loadout.ini modified to match typical loads in Spanish aircraft and using Wrench advice in the post "how to modify loadouts". Weaponspack in this case recommended but not necessary. Decals for 18 aircraft flown in Spain are included, and copied from 000 to 099 for avoiding random numbers problem. No Squadronlist entries needed also for easiest installation and use.

Well, this is final version for uploading...

I think, but no documents I found, Mk83 bombs were not used by this aircraft in Spain, and probably were bought for F-4C later. But in fact it used EXPAL BR and BRC500 Spanish made bombs, that are a copy of Mk83, and I have photos confirming that point. Then I choose Mk83 for Loadout.

I made my own templates using as a base original default skin. All credits to Thirdwire. Perhaps now out there are fantastic templates with a lot of detail, but that work was done a long time ago, now only recovered and arranged for upload, then use other thing is work again from cero, and I cannot do that now.

Hope you like it. Comments and suggestions wellcome!!

S!

Yes Tuckson, in 80´s you can saw AIM9J´s, but thats old model. AIM-9J now are in use, but its a new Juliet version, upgraded for F-1´s, as F-18 use AIM-9L upgraded similar to 9M´s, or newer.

Well, last modified and definitive at moment of upload...

Ok, all is running, I have now my spanish pilots (thanks wrench ), and textures I have are Ok also.

Fix to the problem with random numbers are done, as I copy numbers for filling 000 to 099, now isn´t any problem.

I simplfied aircraft for no need of entries in squadronlist.ini, but squad patch is working right.

Tuned Loadout for match Spanish aircraft with the weapons pack, but are no specific weapons, then are yet some errors, like that with SUU16 upgraded to SUU23, not in service in Spain. Really little difference, and I can modify later, and add for example EXPAL bombs, copy of Mk82 & 83, easy to do. Also I used stock camouflage tanks from weapons pack. Only green is slightly different, but I can live with that as no need of new entries in weaponsdata.ini.

Well, I uploaded the file, hope somebody could interest it.

Thank you all for the support, comments, and help.

My next work, need some fixes, but is almost ended...

S!

Pretty one Tuckson!!

In that case Spanish roundel are smaller, according with low visibility squeme .

I supose you refer to wingtips missiles, because nowadays F-1 uses Sidewinders, but time ago, at first time of service there was that missiles in use I think.

For radar missile, uses Matra. It can´t use Sparrows. Sidewinder was, I think, a patch for use a lot of missiles in stock for other aircraft in Spain instead of new French ones. In fact for example Spanish Phamtom uses AIM-9B!! until news AIM-9J in 1978, and late 9L.

I think there are many images over the net you can use as source. Even airliners.net have a lot images, the only thing is they are modern in most cases, but old Mirages in camouflage and French blue are few.

S!

Many Thanks Wrench!!!!

What I didn´t knew is I can edit LOD´s, I opened in notepad, and wordpad, but doesn´t work.

I´ll do that. Thanks really .

A question then. Modified LOD, only name diferent but stock one really, for the pilot, can I upload?

Thanks again.

S!

P.D.: Ala13 is my virtual Squadron, I fly Il-2 online. And I´m in the habit of write "complete" nick, tag included . www.ala13.com

Uffffffff, I think about a F-5, of course, but F-5B are the updated ones, F-5A were not in use a lot time ago. There are F-5B model for SFP1? I didn´t see it. Its too much work, I paint Skins for so many sims... and fly all of them, there is no enough time for all I want to do...

Tuckson, I don´t know your sources, but then if you make two aircraft, the old style, and the new before end of life, you should paint two diferent squemes, as they were not painted all its life in the same way. Pattern is the same, but colors not. Must say perhaps shade is not the same, because colors are the "same", you understand? And, I don´t see in that screen, but Spanish ones were painted in lower parts not light grey but a metalic grey, not silver, but almost .

S!

Edit: nice F-16!! Yes, Spanish roundels were not a problem to make, I do in fact, you see. But only Spanish guys are interested, I think, in have the correct marking... :( Thats a point against TK.

What do you think about this one?

Nice pretty one! It´s yours? I didn´t find in Data base, but its so enormous I couldn´t see every skin.

For example that also uses the awful default Spanish markings. Compare it to what I used. Also colours are Frech, isn´t it? Spanish ones used later other diferent shade. But the colour weathered is very close to that .

Where is it for download?

S!

I hate to disagree with you on the Phantom but the C-12 was made especially to the specs of the C-12 to include modding the original max file.

OK, I said clearly I knew the work a thing like that is, and never wanna look down on work by any people. I didn´t modify for example cockpit to get RWR as Spanish F-4 had, and its so easy as put F-4E cockpit on my F-4C and tune it a little, but its more work that I didn´t wanted to take. If I didn´t wanted to take then i cannot look down any work took by others.

But what you see finally is the whole work, and of course what is in surface, even with that great work of modding max file. And for that you only have to see original images from Spanish aircraft, and skin, Squadron patch, Spanish marks and so on, what make that aircraft Spanish and no other, I think are not up to spected, for me of course, when I want to fly my Spanish Phamtom. You can say I did it with love because it´s an emblematic aircraft of Spanish Air Force, and you are OK, but I prefer mine, sorry. See photos from original, and compare to that c.12 and to mine.

S!

Gracias!!! jajaja

As I said I make all that things for my own use. For example I take no permission for repaint F-86, but, as it was for me only, I didn´t need it... till now...

And F-104G has same problem with random numbering ingame that F-4, but problem is worst, as I painted the only 18 aircraft flown by Spain, and copy that numbers twice. But 36 numbers are little, and most of time random choose the last one, making IA´s wingmans not to have numbers... :( Hope find a solution here, with all of you, expert in SFP1.

And other repaints?? I make repaints for too much things, Il-2, FS, SFP1... I have little time and can´t take so work all at the same time!! But I do with pleasure, as the pleasure of fly a decent Spanish Phamtom, and do what i can .

S!

Very nice skins!!

Are you spanish? we are not a plague around, so spanish or not welcome/Bienvenido!

Sí Stratos. Gracias!!

USAFMTL, i saw that aircraft, and, with all respect to creators of that for the hardwork that i know is create a one, these are not spanish ones representatives, and dont make justice to the original ones. As i wanted, years ago yet, fly a really exact Spanish Phamtom, as i´m spanish, i do it as close to the real thing as i was able. Also as i esplained above, i don´t create an only aircraft, but numbers for all the Squadron flying that aircraft in Spain .

Wrench, of course, i modify stock ones. I re-decal original with my decals, as original Spanish are horrible, and squadrontail ones doesn´t exist. Also a new entry in squadronlist.ini. And yes, skin is stock one, but modified to match Spanish one, as its color are no exact to original, and some parts of aircraft were not exact also. Now its a new diferent skin, but originally were stock ones, yes. Then, isn´t any problem uploading that? Of course i´ll give credit to TK. LOD i don´t need to upload, as are in objets.cat, but i don´t know were are physical model, as i modified DATA.ini to make a "spanish specific", and aircraft flight data is there, isn´t it? But i didn´t modify that flight data of course. Any problem with that?

The real thing is Spanish aircraft, in general, are not so common in flight simulators. And SFP1 gave me the oportunity of make a lot of them, as many of that 60-70´s aircraft flew in Spain. Also i tried to modify campaing to make a fictional Spanish one, using my Spanish F-86, F-104G and Phamtom. If i modify Hornet i can continue that campaing, and with the Mirage IIIE make a IIIEE spanish one for that purpose and alternative aircraft to Phamtom. But all those things I did for me own use, and when I gave no internet even!! I made it and learned only opening .ini´s with notepad years ago...

OK, the problem with random aircraft numbers somebody know how fix it? And the same problem when the aircraft is put there by sim as random flight not only with numbers, also with squadrontail, any fix? I want to upload an aircraft working in all aspect.

I forget, and modified pilots? what can i do with that?? I´ll not make all people downloading my aircraft to modify also F-4J DATA.ini...

Thak you all really for the help and comments, all welcome .

I post some images more of other work...

S!

Hi all, i´m new in this forum. I´m interested in upload some skins i made time ago, but those things i always made for my personal use. Now there are some people interested in them, and gave me the idea of uploading into any site. I like yours, and i decided to upload here.The problem is i have some questions before uploading anything.

First i want to upload is a Spanish F-4C. You can think its only a skin, but i modified .ini files to match a Spanish F-4C in years of use, and being the only and default nation of the aircraft. Should i simplify the file to a skin only, or can i upload a "entire" aircraft? And, if i modify the default aircraft files, there are any problem on it? or i should get permission from thirdwire? Also skin really is a modification of default aircraft to match Spanish ones color more accurate, can be that a problem with anything or somebody?

OK, with all of that there are some other things i think can be a problem. I modified, of course, and it can´t be in other way, because default is an awful and nothing real one, Spanish markings. That can be a problem? of course i should include it on pack and explain where it places.

But it´s not the only. I modified DATA.ini for use F-4J addon pilots, as i painted it, but it not only modifies the F-4C, i modified F-4J for use other pilot, because its pilots are painted in a Spanish ones, and that i think is too much for an aircraft, modify stocks ones and F-4J for all people want Spanish F-4C... Really spanish people interested on it probably have no problem... but other ones probably yes. But i don´t know if it is posible make a copy of that stock pilots, and make it uses my painted textures. I tryed, but don´t work, think that information goes in LOD, and i can´t modify it.

Also i make number for almost the whole Squadron that flew Phamtom in Spain, and made a new entry in squadronlist.ini. Numbers are up to only 36 aircraft, was 40 in Spain, but the random select of number of the game fails a lot of times, going to the last number, and making all aircraft, but the one i fly, have no number. There are any fix for that? I have seen no solution in knowledge section. And when aircraft is flown as an AI one, almost every time there are no number and/or Squadron Patch. I can understand fail of number as it fails in the one you fly because of random number, but squadronpatch is fixed in aircraft, no other squad used this aircraft and there are only skin for it, why it fails also randomly?

Well, i´ll post more dudes in other moment, think that what i put there is so much for an only time!!

Post some screens, and say what you think about it...

I´m interested in make a Spanish Hornet also, but in readme say nothing about contact. Did you know how can i contact them?

Thank you in advance for help.
