all good to go. was gonna say it, but went and double checked before posting could it have something to do with the small numbers list (only 9 airframes)? the only way ive found to prevent it is to have un numbered tail_L and tail_Rs as well. in this case a copy of the Duluth tail without a serial num. but then it defeats the purpose if you get an ai flight of 8 with 5 Minnesota birds when only 3 were sent.......

"keep doin that pilot shi... he's still behind us" (moments later)

wtf update #2 running a new escort mission with 4 birds, only one pops up blank tail in my dev install

well now royally wtf.... i made a few edits, most specifically removing the randonization lines from the textureset in my dev install its still screwy as shit. but loading in NF5 it works fine now (after changing the aircraft ini back from read only!)

ok, not exactly the issue here load up any other mission, any other aircraft. in mission editor, create a flight to escort them. make that flight 2 or 4 F-4D_78s, with teh Klaxon skin, picking own numbers isnt an issue, and in the second one it seems the comp went to whatever it defaults for your F-4D

its the Creek Klaxon Phantoms in teh same PM. specifically, it seem stock F-4D_78 skins generate serials just fine, but modded ones not so much (noticed this with yakarov79's ANG pack as well, where lead has a serial num but rest do not) gets weirder as i tried plugging it into NF5, and it comes up in game as a SEA camo (despite the Creek Klaxon skin being selected) yeah disregard NF5 bit, my dumba$$ shoulda remembered to make the aircraft ini readable again....

hey, no worries i mean you just gotta listen to the clearest source on anything Chinese

i believe it specified "tactical" bomber. although some of the other similar headlines went as far as to say space fighter..... meanwhile, seems PLAAF is moving to specializing roles (interception, strike) rather than go multirole

could be tricky. i mean, im not saying he's a genius, but he did play Sherlock Holmes on TV.....

either release a series of deceptively named Onlyfans videos (with subject matter like a kitten playing with a banana on a string, or someone moving a golf ball with only their breath) or say something really dumb online and become famous one last option would be to somehow get Henry Cavill into SF2 modding. we get him hooked, he's enough of a nerd to want to see it progress and rich enough to fund that progress. but first i think you gotta lure him away from Warhammer.....

The wing was also still operating the RF-4C Phantom II in the 16th TRS, while the 33rd TFS stood up on the Block 25s and the 17th and 19th TFSs converted.

The squadrons of the 50th TFW at Hahn AB upgraded from Block 15s to Block 25s during 1986. The two squadrons of the 86th TFW at Ramstein AB swapped out their F-4E Phantom IIs for Block 25s starting at the end of 1985, although they then swapped again for Block 30s towards the end of 1986.

I utilized my best educated guesses on which squadron had which airframe. As better information comes along i will update as able.

Merry Christmas everyone!

damn, and i thought researching unit assigned aircraft serial in the 1980s was hard.....

ya know, this just seems to be a trend of the world at large any more "i wish x would happen" well, the folks that can make it happen arent doing so. so ya either gotta change it yourself or adapt and accept what is. in this instance, TK hasnt had interest in changing SF2 since July 2013 (over 11 years). not too many people come back to a relationship with anything after that long so as i've said for a long time, its the modders that still have interest that keep it relevant side note for the old timers that have been modding/skinning since the last patch i for one dont want a new patch. pretty sure it'll break my mods

youre despicable........

got this tightened up just a little too late for Phantom Phriday... (back to my roots too, all same skin)

off to smoke some Cubans....

should work. any time you do a modded decal thats based on the stock stuff, its more likely to go wonky. if im doing modded decals, im going all the way in a decal folder and not using any native resources (decal wise) but also youd have to place it in the main "Decals" folder for that to work. rather messy way of doing business (although as you said it would then work)

ok, if you made them then were back to a modder ini/tga issue would you mind posting the whole decal ini? also if the two entries you posted above are it, then its gonna call the stock stickers, not the ones you made

i dont think stock Pukin Dogs has that stripe front is F-14A, back is F-14A(77). in my very vanilla install
