Yep. Straight after the latest patch but only for a few flights?! Bizarre or what?

Many thanks.

Hi ZO9 and welcome to Combat Ace. I'm keen to see this one too!

Apologies. I've misread full resolution to be high resolution. Word association I guess!

What's that got to do with high resolution?

Good luck with that.

Looking back, I had some problems grasping things so I've added some advice given by a very helpful bloke at The Simmers Paint Shop. I've found that when saving in .tga format, a box pops up asking about "RLE compression" and "Origin at bottom left". I make sure both of these check boxes are not checked. Perhaps that may help you out. For me, this was the 'missing link'. I notice that on the latest versions of GIMP it only asks about RLE Compression but the answer is the same - leave the box unchecked.

This should get you started and note the section on removing white. http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/forum35-gimp/

Fantastic photographs.

View File [Fictional] McDonnell Voodoo FAW.4 - RAF McDonnell Voodoo FAW.4 for STRIKE FIGHTERS 2 This is a simple mod of erikgen's superb McDonnell F-101B Voodoo to give a fictional Voodoo FAW.4 in the markings for the famous 'Treble One' Squadron of the Royal Air Force during the 1960's. This revised upload now adds a second skin (No.74 Squadron) and a nifty fixed in-flight refuelling probe. BACKSTORY Delays in the English Electric Lightning programme and the rather pedestrian performance of the Gloster Javelin encouraged the McDonnell Aircraft Company to offer various versions of their outstanding Voodoo aircraft to the RAF initially with the F.1 single-seater and FAW.2 two-seater for RAF Fighter Command and followed by the FR.3 single-seater reconnaisance aircraft for RAF Germany and the improved FAW.4 two-seater for Fighter Command. Entering service in 1961 the Voodoo FAW.4 served with three squadrons of RAF Fighter Command and supplemented the earlier FAW.2's in the air defence role. Normally armed with two De Havilland Skystorm radar-guided missiles and two Fairey Firestorm infra-red heat-seeking missiles the Voodoo FAW.4's were a quantum leap in performance over the Gloster Javelin and remained a popular type in RAF service right up until their retirement in 1981. INSTRUCTIONS 1. From the AIRCRAFT folder drag and drop the VoodooFAW4 folder into your Aircraft folder. 2. From the DECALS folder drag and drop the VoodooFAW4 folder into your Decals folder. 3. From the PILOTS folder drag and drop the VoodooIFR folder into your pilots folder (this is the IFR probe so is optional). 4. From the WEAPONS folder drag and drop the AIM-4K, Skystorm and VoodooFAW4_Tank folders to your Weapons folder. That's it! CREDITS As always, thanks to Third Wire for a great little game/sim. Special thanks to the legend that is erikgen for producing the Voodoo in all its variants and to Column5 for the FM. Special thanks also to yakarov79 for making the IFR probe for me. Thanks also to the creators of the Genie and Falcon missiles that I've tweaked and rebadged (just for a giggle). And, finally, thanks to everyone in the wider Third Wire community.

It should be, those are your clouds! First thing I installed after the new patch!

Hawker Hunter FGA.9C - No.604 (County of Middlesex) Squadron, Royal Auxiliary Air Force, 1982. Ndicki's Omani Hunter skin and some toned-down decals by yours truly.

Very nice. Brings back the 1970's for me and going home from school to call into the library to read 'Flight' magazine and the terrible day when it (the B-1A) was cancelled.

Fast and low! (BAC Stilleto F.3 of No.56 Squadron, Royal Air Force).
