the AH-1J Seacobra would be a good comparison bird. similar size and performance values and dont remember much probs esp as it was meant to go on LHAs in game.

Ooooooooooh waiting on that Twin Huey sir!

Closer look shows a fin on the tail, like the AS332 and later models. Angelp, the speculation wil continue until you answer :)

Can we get a front and /or side shot of that extra? Pleeeeeease :)

As question states. Nice to do the historical, but 7 different airlines originnally placed orders, and there are many images on Google of a Concorde B1 in Google If that doesnt get you going, howabout a Braniff orange Speedbird?

now offering charter services

I thought the search function was just the end of threads like this, sort of of like saying "over and out". :p

Random mixes have to be called in the textureset, along with the total number and start (typically 000) and end points (0xx) As to your 5-6 types, what I do is have the most common as "decal", then the different ones as whatever they are in the lineup (decal007, decal014 etc). It will default to the standard decal unless the specific one is selected. Finally, I've grown to preferring to group most decals as serials. Like I said it will still select the main one but allows for differences (Like transports for MAC and then a few in the ANG) Kevin, i'm on my tablet on break from driving, otherwise I would show the lines for random decals

CBU-87, introduced '86 but first major use in the first Gulf War. CBU-97 was introduced mid 90s

nice story, but i will disagree with you on this one. 138th TFS NY ANG had the GPU-5 pod when Desert Shield came up. they deployed without the pods. not sure if vibrations from firing were a reason, but couldnt have helped the triple launcher for the Mav's while cool in amount, created drag to the point they were rarely carried. more realistic esp for Fulda Gap scenario is 4x CBU and two Mav's so they can keep speed up and inflict damage over a whole formation of tanks rather than 6 individuals. again in service i dont think the gun pods would have been used much. poss replace by fuel tank or ECM depending on need.

looking over the list again, it can be trimmed from a 6 page list to a 2 page list getting rid of duplicates and planes that are well in hand (Phantoms etc) or known WIP (new Hercs from Dels). I can only view and play with them in Max 15 myself at this time, but that can allow me to game out a plan of action on a few of these for when i can get Max 2009

can't remember where but think someone posted already, as i have that d/l'd already. still of some interest to me as 1. i do better with refurbishing than scratch creation and 2. there are several DAT titles in there. if done up here using those models, then it opens alot esp for Campaigns (Viggen and TSF come to mind )

Not sayin you cant skin them, just that you'll have abit more work than you thought/hoped for. Use mue's lod viewer and you can see your changes near real time

Well the newer page has been far fewer and inbetween on file uploads. And there tended to be a distinct tendency towards Forgetting credits documentation on the old group. (cough cough DC-10)

Wrench, back to airfields, can new ones be made that dont follow the stock pattern? yes i know it will be a major PITA placing things but you also know i've been pushin for joint civilain/mil fields and am relatively willing to put some grunt work into it (and yes ask a million questions while learning it!)

of course when the last B-3 (or whatever it will be designated) goes to the Boneyard, the crew will fly home on a BUFF good to hear the big three will be around though. i dont think the next gen trainer would have been enough to sustain Northrup Grumman.

They might be Giants.....

That is from the old FB StrikeFighters2 page. You can talk to them bout it.

just for you Kevin, weather like it is in Philadelphia not sure if i need to lay exhaust effects on thicker, but pretty close to done with this bird for now. anyone else planning to knock out the IDF/AF?

Guy is amusing, given he guards the stuff like its the recipe for Coke, even though much of the content isnt his.

Well, only had two pics, and one was art. So that serial gots one, if your tellin me they normally didnt, easy to fix. Only a third of the birds in game have them as it is.
