  1. huh, ODS just got revamped. We kickin off Green Hell Redux? seriously tho, looking forward to it GKABS
  2. well, that sets the answer (saw Rusty's reply as i was going to look up J models) if the B and J can carry, then N and S can too being major upgrades of the first two variants and not new builds. however, while the capability was there, it was rarely used operationally. the performance of the early Sparrows was such that it was better to carry some Winders for backup, esp with no gun. as to the drag chute, imo you should just assign it an animation key and make it a conscious act to deploy it. otherwise some fool out there will find a way to pop the new chute on your new Phantom landing on one of the new carriers coming out this year. and then complain on here about it
  3. i see you have the names on the other two commented, keep in mind Midway get fixed up the most in the 60s, and was the most unique of the three. Coral Sea almost got scrapped coming out of teh 70s but the build up in the 80s saved her for a few more years and poor Franklin was always the last in line for upgrades, and not economically fit for anything but scrapping by 77
  4. well, i just have 4 airliners, a couple of classic prop cargo birds, all the tall tail B-52s including a new to us E model, F-4S skins, redux F-4N (both with CAG and line birds), Hercules users around the world, Air National Guard Herks, UH-60, nuclear weapons and anti submarine warfare. other than that my schedules fairly clear but i do hope to talk to you later this year in that case.
  5. hey all you hip cats, whats shakin' ?
  6. was in the early days of me modding, and somebody else (mppd? cant recall this second) did the model for the DECM. Sundowner sent me a model he had for F-4J(UK) YEARS ago. which coincidentally is pretty much the standard that any remaining F-4Js were in 1982-3. thats the project i need to get going on
  7. look up project BEELINE, google and even better any F-4 book that has variant breakdowns. and thank you for yet another reminder of an 8 year old project
  8. for all the Top Gun fans, iirc most of the "Indian Ocean" scenes were filmed on another of the Forrestal class, USS Ranger. in any event really looking forward to having proper Forrestals in game and in house! v2k, that -133 gonna come with an Atlas ICBM cargo object?
  9. is changing possible? yes, as i have a 16x in addition to the others these are the values in the flightengine.ini MaxTimeCompression=16.0 <----------------- increased from 8 default in mine StartTimeCompression=1 <---------------------- what you may want to change however, as i understand it you would start at your lowest compression and have to work your way up to regular speed. im guessing this is for testing purposes? EDIT BECAUSE I GOT CURIOUS: set the start value at 0.5. the aircraft moved slower than normal tho not necesarily half speed. the first time shift brought it up to 1. however it never cycled back to 0.5 after that. also tried a MinTimeCompression, no dice.
  10. Human Transport by Fighter Planes, EXINT POD!

    well, if you all have issue with pods remember the Brits do it cheaper in actual practice backstory for those that dont know, four Royal Marines rode the Apaches back to recover the body of a fallen comrade immediately after an ambush. Taliban scattered expecting a strike, just to have those four pop off and retrieve their mate. my understanding is that all AAC Apaches now have belts and hand holds after this mission
  11. geary is the best at it, but mine is tolerable i just dont have the time to super dive in like i tend to do on it (all squadrons) now that we're post ODS. got several things coming off back burner ya know
  12. if you want to do decals, i can do the bare metal skin. veltro, check PM
  13. i've been having alot of fun with the dawn patrols lately
  14. name that pokemon (aircraft and user) currently in progress
  15. welcome back Crazy! been wonderin what happened to you.
  16. just one or two more and the Middle East and Africa are done.
  17. another one down how a Herk folders going to look in the future (highlight folders is Dels original work) and freaky part is im not quite even half done. stupid OCD makin me want to do a skin for everybody in the 80s...... but i am getting good at counting in Arabic numbers, so i got that going for me which is good
  18. ol' shakey ! transport, bare metal skin, rare topic. i could make room on the schedule when shes ready now that main ODS work is done, wrapping up the mid east batch of Herks then doing at least a C-9A, B and K. should get a few rounds down on a DC-9-30 series before back to the next thing
  19. same rough region, different time and topic
  20. Special Report: 16 Jan 1991

  21. 17January1991 somewhere in Southwest Asia note operations commenced locally on the 17th, but still the 16th in the US
  22. normally i believe rolling radius has something to do with this. [NoseGear] SystemType=LANDING_GEAR .... .... RollingRadius=0.41 CastoringWheel=TRUE CastoringNodeName=NLGCastor but in your case, wait until the ramp concrete has set before parking seriously though, someone else will likely chime in with better info. but i recall this for minorly sunken tires, and iirc even to fix helos blowing up at mission start.
