  2. iirc you did alot of the ini work on the AGM-28 pylons that i put in mod (spilline104s model iirc), my main bit was changing from fakepilot to a gunpod so i was selectable in the weapons dropdowns. the antennas and other items via fakepilot for the D are awesome tho if im remembering correctly that you did them my suggestions would be to make year specific versions of the BUFFs you want to use, and then work in teh loadout ini for each one. something like B-52D_67 and CBU Strike, MK82 Strike, M117 Strike, Mix Strike (82 inside, 117 outside) etc within the loadout.ini of that plane. making the new plane is pretty simple, copy paste and dont forget to change folder and aircraft ini names. the loadout is a little more detailed but still not too hard. let me know if you need help with the inis. my planned BUFF work is near enough in the future i can give ini work a jump start while helping you
  3. now me being nosy, so whatchya doin? on my todo list for this year is the E model (ini edit from D as it was internal diffs only), as well as F and Ds post Nam. lot to work with actually as they werent fully retired until 1978 and 1983 respectively. even if only on the Crested Dove operations last couple years for each
  4. a correction to note having read thru this D and F carried underwing IN VIETNAM. G carried underwing in Desert Storm, but not during Linebacker. Look in the Units in Combat 55-73 book, and you'll see accounts of the D guys being ticked at how little (27 internally) the G guys were bringing to the fight most common loadout on the externals was 117s or CBUs because of diameter. but 82s, 84s, and even British 1000 pounders (ODS) were not unheard of all the BUFFs after the C model could carry the AGM-28 pylon, since many were tasked with carrying Hound Dogs as part of their nuclear warload. They werent used as commonly from around 1966 through 1972/3 timeframe as they were needed for the nuclear warfighting role. F models pioneered the AGM-28 pylon usage, accomplised by mounting 2 MERs to a steel I beam, then mounting the whole assembly to the AGM-28 pylon The Fs were the first in use, but withdrawn after 6-8 months of operations, as soon as the first Big Belly D models were coming available. E and H model never flew, and Gs went to bolster the force in 72 because they were more numerous than the Hs while the AGM-28 was withdrawn from use in the 70s, it freed up the pylons for use in the 80s and Desert Storm. The pylons wre retired finally same time the G models were in game, the AGM28 assembly is available on the G in my Desert Storm mod. i modified it to be an ECMpod, so you could select the dozen bombe per side with that pylon or 9 per side with HSAB. it would need a slight bit of touch up as its painted for the dark grey undersides of that time, but not too hard to change. the biggie would be editing the D and F data inis to accomodate it not claiming to be an expert, just read that book and the G in Desert Storm books many times over when doing my mods
  5. gotcha. i work BUFFs and Bones anyhow, usually single ship esp when carrying ACME Instant Sunshine. like i said tho, i did wonder
  6. more of the "so there i was while testing" shots
  7. you know, i always wondered what happens if you change it from bomber to attack?
  8. its open folks. i got one of his in progress, one in the fridge waiting to go on the burner and at least one more iteration each Herk and BUFF projects i wanna knock out before summer
  9. would make a Doordash or UberEats joke about pasta delivery, but evidently your vehicle cant be over 9 years old
  10. i tried an app on my android tablet that would allow me to mirror my pc screen back when i actively used PS (im just a poor GIMP user now). worked okay, i was just a different style of doing things, and then somethings like selection i used the mouse anyhow. rebooted the tablet, and never added that software back on. to me it just seemed not that big an improvement. the biggest bit with that set up was curved parts of camos, where you can draw in the more natural sense and see what you are doing by your hand rather than on the other screen. but im fairly ok with using mouse now. although dammit, now you got me wondering if i can reload that app on my newer tablet to see how it goes now
  11. near the end now
  12. but will he have time for those Fokkers? i second both those notions

  13. East German Army in action

    daddyairplanes replied to Gepard's topic in The Pub

    what was the context? i watched it thinking of the "be all you can be " US Army recruiting commercials in the 1980s, but i dont think thats the case here
  14. ok, now i'll weigh in

  15. Lost Aircraft

    daddyairplanes replied to crisisloaner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion

    i dont think Erik can afford enough storage to hold all that
  16. just another SAM taking off, now maybe we can quit sweeping the flightline.....
  17. have the band gather the sheets for "Hail, Columbia" big thanks to USAFE for keeping it mostly simple
  18. also nix either USSR or US for full employment in campaigns prior to 1992. the whole "if the superpowers publicly get caught fighting it will escalate" thing. not saying that the USSR wouldnt send new toys, and "technicians" to teach how to use them. but the equipment would have Parani markings to keep up appearances. Russia was too broke to offer much help in the 90s, prestige and influence didnt pay the bills in that time. Russia in the Putin era, game on. although as "mercenaries" like the Wagner Group, again not as Russian military. the game doesnt handle three way conflicts like Syria very well, and i dont think we can simulate vehicles ramming each other or aggresive intercepts without teh AI opening fire (again, still not desired in US/Russia interactions even in 2021) that said, a campaign where the US is embargoing Dhimar for whatever reason and the USSR is providing full support to Paran could be interesting
  19. dude, you know the L-100-30 is in his newly released pack right?

  20. B-52sday

    some Marines in an airliner went buzzing Castle AFB. had to repay the favor with interest...
  21. yeah saw it on a FB group.... and was instantly amazed we havent done this yet. bring out your BUFFs MITO 1989 while the Tanker TOADs watch Dyess 1983 well somewhere in Texas anyhow now if we just had a north east and southeast US terrain (Loring, Seymour Johnson, Barksdale)
  22. damn Devil Dogs at it too even the Air Force seems to want to bring 8 smoky engines to play....

  24. hauling rubber dog sh.... out of NAS Miramar
  25. thats animation speed, set up in the original model if im not mistaken (which is possible as this is a pre coffee post) without access to the original max file, you wont be able to adapt the speed as to slimers, most of them are luminous materials again on the models. no on or off, just brightness that is there at night and not very visible during the day. any tga covering is for color but would be found in the decal.ini within the skin if you want to play with it.
