OK Gentleman, Let's try it out, something like this ? And Ronan: indeed standard procedure. Add the texture in the .ini and add the skin map to the plane map. I changed the nationality in the data.ini to NETHERLANDS and gave the Dutch skins the first 3 numbers, creating a KLU F16B as the standard. The skins and tails of Hrntfxr work as well.... Good luck, Derk

Hallo landgenoot, Probeer gewoon bijvoorbeeld maar eens de NL skin van de F16MLU van Dave (USAFMTL). Die past -redelijk- en zo is er de hele gigantische serie van Ravenclaw en nog wel een paar. Het hele circus van A-skins past eigenlijk wel op de dual. Een echte -B skin met correcte registratie is er niet. In principe zijn de oude F16 en de nieuwe van MF gebaseerd op hetzelfde model, vandaar dat cockpits en skins wel uitwisselbaar zijn. Nieuwe skins dus leuk maar niet echt nodig. Heb de F16B meteen maar eens onderhanden genoemen: nieuwe block10 MF cockpit + avionics, automatische flaps (eigen maak), nieuwe piloten, weg met de wingtip vortex, MF vleugelwortel-vortex en voila, een heerlijke F16, als nieuw .... Good luck !! Derk

Thx Signum !!! Aju, Derk

In the Congo an helicopter was shot down with bow&arrow (hit a fuel line) so why not a lance ?? Aju, Derk

Same with my F16MLU, never found the answer, no assymetrical values in FM or anything, got used to it... Curious just the same what the cause may be. Aju, Derk

Missed this one when I came back from holidays..... COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL !! Remenber one at Leeuwarden Airshow back in the nineties when it came in low and very fast over the runway with the shockwaves forming on the leding edeges of the wings ...... Looking very much forward to it , Aju, Derk

Hey Baltika, For clear pics of the Dutch bases use www.routenet.be , click on the British flag and use the map. Belgium is avalable only as a map but for some reason Holland can be seen in aerial pics. Can be magnified considerably for a very clear look at the airfields. As I said, Holland only..... One litlle suggestion: runway alignment is usually 09-27 or 06-24 or something like it, because of the prevailing westerly or south-westerly winds. Except for Gilze Rijen (a secundary N-S runway) you'll find it everywhere. Would be nice to have a more or less correct alignment. If you need precise info just say so. Looking very much forward to the terrain (and to Scotland for that matter, because we'll be spending the autumn holidays at good old Loch Tay...........) Aju, Derk

Lazboy, basically right positions. If there is room, Soesterberg (52'08" N, 05'16"E) , Twenthe (52'16"N , 6'53"E), Gilze Rijen (51'34"N , 4'56"E) and maybe Eindhoven (51'27"N, 5'22"E) were all fighter / strike fighter bases until quite recently. The rest, Woensdrecht, Ypenburg, Valkenburg (Navy) and de Peel only had combat aircraft for shorter periods or during deployments, though Woensdrecht and De Peel do have shelters. Except for the Peel and Ypenburg, all bases were built during WW II with 2 runways at angles or parallel (Volkel) and they were quite big (though not as HUGE as Karup in Denmark or Ramstein, have a look at them in Google Earth...) The WOE airfields by Gepard are better suited than the big US style standard airfields so if you could use them it would really add quality !! If you have any more questions I'll be glad to help you, Aju, Derk

This would be wonderful !!! Map looks great and I'm very much looking forward to flying in Scotland. If included, bases in Holland are also to be found At Wikipedia (category "Airports in Holland) and at Routenet Satelite Pics. (at Google Earth the bases have been made "invisible" for reasons of security, big deal !!!!!) Aju, Derk :yes:

Would be great if it would include Scotland too (number of bases and intruding Badgers, Bears, Blinders and Backfires or whatever....) Fantastic landscape too !! Aju, Derk

GMG, Soulfreak, Volker und alle anderen vielen Dank !!! Freue mich schon auf schöne Skins, weil ja die halbe NATO mit der Flash geflogen hat (und das schön lang, unser Museumsflash wurde vor einige Jahren aus Griechenland in Volkel eingeflogen......) Aju, Derk

Thanks Column5, extremely usefull !! Interesting thing would be a similar assesment of the WP stuff. AIM 120B & C are almost useless against Fulcrum and Flankers as well against even the old Blinder and I wonder if the AMRAAM is really that ineffective in real life ....... Aju, Derk

Fine "patrol" interceptor for Bear-, Backfire-, Blinder-, Badger- hunting far out over the sea , good range and armament and that's that. No golden wonder candoeverything allround fighter.... Did good service and helped to win the Cold War (are we heading for a new chapter in that ??) Aju, Derk

F16 MLU ..... Agile, fast, BVR capability, good radar (block 50), effective ECM, chaff, flares, in short anything I need.... Aju, Derk :nyam:

Great plane !!!! Star performer and nice fm. Will there be French skins too in the future ? Thanks a lot, Aju, Derk

If you have any questions about the Neth East Indies part just say so and I'll find out (have a number of books /pic's etc.) Airbases at Kalidajti (Djakarta), Kemayoran, Andir (Bandung), Semarang, Surabaya, Djocja, Samarinda, Ambon and so on. I have the official book(s) om what happened there, Aju, Derk

Da's LEUK !!!!! Heb N-250 als 1:72 model uit 1963 (!) recht voor m'n neus staan, handpainted 325Sq badge ..... Nog altijd een aardig modelletje. M'n mail doet wat lullig v.w.b. uitgaande mail maar als alles het weer doet zal ik je m'n aangepast data.ini mailen (die van Armourdave is wat te tam in V max etc.) Thx, Derk

Bedankt weer Iwan !!! Derk

Same here, interesting point...... For the rest: fantastic plane !!!! Aju, Derk :yes:

Ausgezeichnet meine Herrschaften !!!!! Auf geht's... Aju, Derk

Thanks, a job very well done !!!! Aju, Derk

Should have been an interesting thing reengined an Avon instead of the Saphire..... Stronger engine would have been an absolute necessity in the hotter climate in SEA !! Nice skin anyway Aju, Derk

Very nice and comprehensive job MF !!!! Merci beaucoup ....... Aju, Derk

Doesn't look like it needs a lot of refinement, even the white mice are there... :yes: ... (in other words: looks smashing !!) Misunderstood the anouncement, thuoght it was W.I.P., Aju, Derk

Good old DXXI......... Anyone working at it ? Can supply a lot of info, decals / skins and /or any detail pics from the rebuild example at MLM Soesterberg, Aju, Derk
