  1. Humpday Heavies

    when you tryin to be civil, but that DoD money is looking mighty good
  2. waiting to align the astro inertial nav system.......
  3. discovered the hard way, but thank you for letting us know its not just me. still an excellent tool for rapid adjustment when skinning/decalling
  4. well, have come into a decal problem thats baffling me. trying to put numbers on the nose gear doors on the FB-111A, and it shows up in Mues LODviewer, but not in game. have made sure names match, numbers are in range for the mesh, and tried every variant of DecalMaxLOD= from 1 to 4 and even completely removed. any ideas? these are the entries in the decal.ini [Decal012] MeshName=RightNoseGearDoor DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=RIGHT FilenameFormat=FB-111A/SAC/D/noNumR Position=5.95,-1.075 Rotation=0.0 Scale=2.20 DecalMaxLOD=4 [Decal013] MeshName=LeftNoseGearDoor DecalLevel=2 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=FB-111A/SAC/D/noNumL Position=5.95,-1.075 Rotation=0.0 Scale=2.20 DecalMaxLOD=4
  5. well in this case negative typo. oh wait........
  6. ok got it fixed. i had tried to do bottom as well, but forgot that the right side is positive not negative, so my coordinate of -0.32,5.95 was tryin to put it on the wrong door! still gotta dial in but problem solved it would have been really bad if i couldnt get that workin right, as the 509th BW put their nose arts on the doors! and nice gear doors amariani, but how long til the brass says to cover them up?
  7. will play some but changed only the right side to BOTTOM and adjusted numbers, and both disappeared in LODviewer!
  8. S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night! S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night! why pick on the slow guys? cantchya run with the speedier ones?
  9. after the onset of night blindness, he embarked on a career with the Judge Advocate General, including a famous case involving the Commanding Officer of Guantanamo Bay. He later had corrective surgery and was able to return to flight status. However, due to reverting career fields so late, he is effectively stalled in his career not to rise higher than O-6. Donald Bellasario also did a successful TV show based on his legal career, although the Marines were changed from litigants to co-stars There are rumors of a successful sheep dipped career with the intelligence community as well, but to date FOIA requests have all been denied.
  10. SAC Twilight: B-52G/H Stratofortress

    Nam BUFFs are actually well represented by other modders. but anyone that knows me knows i like post Nam, and the F served up until 1978, the D until 1983. so yes, i am looking at another set further down the line.
  11. View File SAC Twilight: B-52G/H Stratofortress SAC Twilight B-52G/H Skinpack and Upgrade Package This is a package that adds several historical skins with nose arts to the B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft. Several skins also include my skin as tga method to allow several camo schemes in one skin. It also upgrades the weapons loadouts and data.ini's for better historical accuracy Included - B-52G_89 and B-52H_88 aircraft with new loading screens, data ini, loadout ini, historical serials and nose arts - weapons including a new B28FI_350 nuclear bomb and upgraded data inis for others - effects and sounds for aircraft and weapons Installation unzip package, put into mod folder, allow overwrites for items that you already have AIRCRAFT NOTES several skins have tga based skin to represent SIOP mod, Strategic, and all grey camo. this leads to the decal folder being large (over 3.5GB). B28 NOTES the B28FI weapon included is to represent a laydown delivered weapon. it should not be released lower than 1600 ft AGL and slower than 515kts. the B28RI weapon should not be released lower than 6000ft AGL. not responsible for fragging is these guidelines are not met.

  12. keep it up and you'll be able to make a modern SF2 version of this
  13. Two-Seater Tuesdays

    hmmm, this threads quiet. lets liven it up some, low level
  14. Why must you insist on carrying...

    because the background check on these is just too long....
  15. its the G_89 and H_88 model B-52s, both of which were missing LandingSpeed= entries. just set one up for the H at 0.5 below stall speed and works good now.
  16. specifically what data ini entries would adjust this? currently aircraft in question does touch and goes, checked to make sure aircraft needing LARGE runway was landing on same in terrain. trying to find out entries so i can compare stock with the modded bird
  17. ok, interested on if theres a back story other than the 35th anniversary of the GDR
  18. is that the 737 from the FB page or your own? mandatory screenie
  19. Two-Seater Tuesdays

    just something seen while testing, part 1
  20. generally rivets. but consider how big the aircraft is. the bigger the bird, the less likely rivets will meaningfully show up in game. at least not without either showing up the size of hamburgers, or having a jpg/bmp the size of a major metropolitan area. OK, j/k about metro area, but you'd need a 4096 on something the size of say a C-5 to get decent rivets lined up. and then it would still be barely noticeable in game (tho you'd know they're there) on that one tho, rivets should be fine i think
  21. Thank you! Had an epiphany of sorts with lay down delivery. Due to the size of the blast the RI was only cleared down to mid altitude ( no low altitude) releases any how. So i need to slow them down, but not near as much as an F. Working myself today, so will get going tonight or tomorrow
  22. i'd hold a minute Sheriff. waiting on word from Kjakker about the effects (unless anyone else knows where the KT030 and MT030 nuclear effects are ), and i made adjustments to the RI's so they actually slowed down in the game rather than continue forward. me being nitpicky me also renamed for historical accuracy (ie B28RI Mod 5 for the 1.4 MT) finally, as mentioned above the RI and FI were parachute retarded. the difference lies in that the FI had bigger chutes to allow a "soft" landing and 30 second delay for laydown delivery. the RI just slowed it down. not sure the game will allow the 30 seconds on the ground before detonating tho. i want to release the B28RI_350 with the latest BUFF pack mid month, so hopefully resolved by weeks end. as to all others, again awaiting word from kjakker
  23. nope technically not even the right branch it was (VERY) loosely styled off of USAF CPT Scott O'Grady's F-16 being shoot down in 95. https://theaviationgeekclub.com/f-16-down-scott-ogrady-explains-how-he-was-shot-down-over-bosnia/ he wasnt too happy with the movie and actually sued 20th Century Fox over Owen Wilsons portrayal of him (esp when the studio was claiming the film to be true to life)
  24. get with Sheriff again if you want them to participate in NATO Nuclear Sharing. there's some new B28s that he's already fit into his US naval Buccaneer.....
