  1. a two fer today.... 23 July 1970: the first rollout of the DC-10 airliner at the McDonnell Douglas Plant in Long Beach. After testing was completed the first aircraft went on to fly for over twenty years with American Airlines, before being converted to MD-10 standard then serving another few years with FedEx before being scrapped in 2002 23 July 1983: due to issues with fuel calculations, Air Canada Flight 143 runs out of fuel over Ottawa and had to make an emergency engine out landing in a Boeing 767-100 at Gimli Motorsports Park (formerly RCAF Station Gimli). Due to both engines stopping, the aircraft lost all electrical and hydraulic power, and glided silently to a landing at the former airbase.

    as to the move, from what i read Florida tends to allow it when family lives there, and a spokesman basically said if there is not defineable reason to deny him they have to allow him. and while i may disagree with the tone of the innocent statement (unless i mesread ya CH), i do agree with the fact that he was found not guilty. 2007 was some court system thinking they were "setting it right" he'll probably be able ot live pretty quiet once he gets settled if he keeps his head down rather hitting the interview circuit. worlds moved on even over the last 10 years

    its 2017. react with funny yet inappropriate memes
  6. looking for them in the DL section but cant find them in Gen1 or 2, or in the add on aircraft. anybody out there have a set they wouldnt mind sharing? for those interested, looking to hit the JSTARS for DS, then some shamu tankers(or even mixed skin), rounding back to some airliners. fortuneately the model is fairly well the same across the versions (or at least teh skin is for all teh 707 like aircraft on site currently) TIA for any assistance you all can give
  7. thank you! as per pm, should give me a running start on 80s era/ODS.
  8. still on the hunt for psd files, but that did help in a fashion. thank you sir!
  9. this one from column5 talks you through it, though the images are not showing for me http://combatace.com/topic/30702-decals-101/ this older gem has pics to illustrate http://combatace.com/topic/23485-decal-tutorial-long-with-biggish-images/ and this one is by spinners, in the Gen2 knowledge base (best bet shoulda gone with it first but hey now you got options) http://combatace.com/topic/76701-making-decals-using-gimp/
  10. ppppppleeease say thats coming out soon oh and ODS skins are uploaded for E/H model Hercules
  11. this is known oh ancient one. but an old story about giving fish and teaching fishing comes to mind..... still you'd get it done fastest
  12. to be honest it shouldnt be that hard for you to pick up given your skill on skinning. you can work in layers just like a skin (its a BIG part of how i get the airliners done), just remember to leave some space at the edges and the background needs to be zonked to clear. there are some other techniques to tweak to your liking later on but the basics arent really to different than skinning imho. lemme know if you need fonts for USAF and USAAF stenciling and jarek, those look awesome

  15. you can do that with a skin but dont have the hang of tga! looks awesome tho if you dont mind my asking is the tga issue the creation or the placement?
  16. yes in particular highlight the part in question, it will show the mesh name in the list on the left, or there is a menu option to show where a highlighted mesh is on the particular jpg (or bmp or dds) that you need, mue's LOD viewer is likley one of the most important files released on this site for the modders
  17. also unless your running off a netbook with little HDD space, or a super old system (again with little HDD space) you'll get better results to load into you normal C: drive. but as Wrench said, running of a USB drive can be a pain. It is possible (and functional), just take more to do than running the regular way
  18. hopefully we can get this going again. the variety of aircraft that could be used for both Bosnia operations and Kosova campaigns is pretty decent. F-104S for CAP, F-14s doing strike and FAC, Jaguars, even flying the Sarajevo drop in the new Herks( to go outside the usual line up of players). alot of participants and the ops tempo was something more of a few strikes a day rather than the massive blitz of Vietnam or Desert Storm
  19. there were some issues, possibly with HD crash. angelp would have to specify tho. I wish it would be released, it would be more readily available than the FB one, not to mention i have some basic USMC skins for the non ASW versions i whipped up for him

  20. U.S proposes Space Marines

    daddyairplanes replied to Atreides's topic in Military and General Aviation

    there was a treaty prohibiting weapons in space, but one can always develop the capabilities even if you dont deploy them side note iirc this new force also takes over cyber"space" warfare as well as usual space based activities such as the NAVSTAR system, recon and ballistic missile launch warning and tracking.

  21. Enhancement Pack for TW DLC 23 - F-4N Phantom II

    DLC 23 F-4N PHANTOM II ENHANCEMENT PACK This is a mod to enhance the DLC F-4N. It includes data.ini's for smoky engines, realistic weapons and drooping ailerons. It also features many skins that have been touched up using Sundowners templates. Finally it has 100 historic BuNo's, and several styles and colors for modexes. It covers a wide spread of N users without becoming completely OCD. Included are: -3 F-4N aircraft (N, N_77, N_80) to help keep some order and smallness of file size. skins covered include USN/MC Grey, Overall Gloss Gloss Gull Gray(circa 1980), Lo Viz Grey (1981) and TPS (1983). Ferris and Heater Ferris were not used for the most part on N models. -my expanded squadronlist.ini. tho many units are stock in here, several will not show without this. Plus it's got room for anybody you can think of and then some more. -an expansive NavalF4 decal folder to cover all years after Vietnam (EXCEPT 1976). not all will be full right now, but they will be filled up with some future planned mods. -a Numbers folder with Buno's for the N, and several styles of Modex's -smokier engine effects for the J-79s. -J-79 engine sounds REQUIRED: The TW F-4N Phantom II, DLC 23. INSTALLATION: same as any other mod. unzip the file, paste into your mod folder, allow overwrites for old copies of the smoke effects and the F-4N.ini. CREDITS First is a HUGE THANK YOU to mytai01. much of this work is based off of his model for decalling the F-4 Phantom. Some of the nn tgas are even lifted off his B model skins and adjusted into N models BuNos. Those that have seen his work will recognize much influence in this mod. Thanks to Sundowner for his templates. With a Sundowner template, you have to work hard to screw up a skin!!!!! As with all my Phantom mods, thank you to Spillone104 for his J-79 effects. I do like them so, and hope you will as well. thanks to JSF_Aggie for his drooping aileron edit for the data.ini. although TK fixed that in the July 2013 patch, i have not patched there yet and know that many still haven't. for the time being the mod uses JSF_Aggie's work. Thanks to Gerwin, Blade, Wrench, Dave, mppd, Ghost531 and many others who have given me answers and resources to many technical questions the last year and a half I've been working this. special thanks to Ghost531 and CrazyHorseB34 for getting me off my fourth point of contact when stalled on this project and as always thanks to TK who developed both the game and the particular DLC, then left enough work for likes of me to fill in. again thank you for downloading this mod and i hope that you enjoy it!

  22. to let you know, unless there's been a major change CC-177 is already covered in teh C-17 pack a few years ago. but i have a project coming up that will also involve the Herks, not to mention the new pack could use some CC versions...
  23. ya know, last i checked the mobilization orders stated SW Asia...... hopefully to have the ODS addon to Dels new toy by weeks end.

  24. This is the Police! Don't ... hey let me fix your door.

    daddyairplanes replied to Skyviper's topic in The Pub

    as King Arthur once said... "Run AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
  25. for AI generated things yes. only include the nations you want participating, and keep in mind to check the nation in the object's ini youre wanting to include, we are an international community and many folks tend to focus on their home country. as for Mali, are they already set as a stock enemy nation? otherwise i would think you have to create another nation in the main nations list with new dates and affiliation
