Moved to proper forum.

 

was that because its a SF2 issue or because Gen1 cant handle Trotski's level of snark?

attention to details

first, this is the SF1 forum. you might see better results in the SF2 forums

second, you may want to share your system specs. for all we know from your question, you might be running SF2 on your iPhone. in which case would be an achievement but probably laggy.

when asking a question like this, computer type, processor, and graphics card info really help us diagnose the issue. also which graphics settings you have on in game

when youre gettin tired and you just Sandra Lee that $#!^....... *

Sandra Lee is a TV chef that incorporates a mix of pre made and fresh/scratch made ingredients in her recipes........

why not a FM of an aircraft closer to what you have. try the Let-410 (closest cargo plane in size and config i can think of )

not here or on other sites that im aware of

keep in mind SF2 is geared more towards Vietnam era and isnt the best at the most modern stuff (5th Gen fighter avionics and weapons). yes theres models for things like F-35 but it works with heavy tweaks to 70avionics.dll....

TW extractor should not be even touched when Mue's one exist

 

personal preferences

brand name Adobe Photoshop is  better than GIMP in most categories other than cost

but since i used GIMP consistently over the years when i couldnt afford the Adobe CC subscription (or to get a copy of the old CS packs), i do tend to prefer using GIMP for most work (esp tga work). 

if youre familiar with the TW extractor, then its perfectly usable, although i believe no longer available on TW site

if just getting started  then one may want to use Mue's extractor instead. but those of use that have been doing it a decade+ will use what we're comfortable with

im not 100% certain, but my money is on...... money. 

small incremental block increases get overlooked and approved in the budget process easier than major model letter upgrades.

amusingly, some of the older birds have gone to Block system as well, such as the KC-135R Block 45 upgrade

in an alternate Top Gun

true, but lets say one wants a  Block 10 in 1983, or Block 15 in 1986........

Yeah I'm a bit scared of that (and getting them all in the right place). I can just about manage mod installation!

the big first question is : do you have the TW cat extractor?

if yes,  then its a matter of playing with it. you wont remember which file is in which folder. but you can browse each folder and you'll start to get a feel for whats in each. the first one is generic game object inis, second one off limits (the actual lod models) and from there its typically grouped by decals, aircraft and ground models, going down the line of sf2, vietnam, europe, israel, north atlantic and DLC (if you have any)

it seems daunting at first. play with it, practice, screw up, learn from screw up and practice some more. eventually you'll start having the game dialled in the way you want rather than adjusting to the game

additional (and optional) fix on the Block 10:  number of vents around the gun muzzle.

the C is on the lower left, the A is on the upper right. this can be adjusted on skin, or you can tweak the model.  sorry, just something else that popped in mind

 the file vomit that it does for you.

well, thats a new term. not very technical, but terribly descriptive

ravenclaw_007,  how does this look over water? plays into a old idea of mine that may become my next shiny object

well,  finally got a reason(ish) to work on Loran birds. Six of what Blade shared have the towel rack on them. and here i thought i wasnt messing with it until i get to Idaho ANG (well still might not depending)

Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister

And you'll never see me no more

weekend warrior time

i gotta talk to the weatherman when i get back....

he's a modder, not God

he gets 14 days to do it

as noted, i have wraparound taken care of, esp since there doesnt appear to be any 17th TRS in wraparound

ignore the towelbar, forgot to remove it in lodviewer and its not present on the RF-4C_75, just the _LORAN. although they did have at least one (69-0350)

its a good start, although most recce units appeared to have 23 birds per. will take a look at the airdoc book on USAFE Phantoms after i wrap up Alabama RFs. last read through i was a little more focused on after 1983....

We don't discuss their "stuff" here.

not to mention the "old" model is freely available and still able to be tweaked by an original modeler on the project (in case you havent been following all of this thread) with out need of fake pilots
