yes they do. makes me wish i still did plastic kits.......

awesome pics! thank you for sharing!

more progress. also have Cowboys, but that does look alot like stock

Weren't you listening every Friday at COB when it was mentioned to wrap it up? Makes for less support payments! Back on topic got two HD's with the orig instal files for Sf2E 2009, each other part as i got it and the patches. Plus backup for the mod folders, tho that gets fun deleting old copies of mods as they are updated. Finally got smart and have started to backup the mods i'm workin on every couple of days. Soooooo...... its not PT or die..... its backup or die!!!

you guys know when Erik does get the DL section fixed, we are going to break it again with a mass of uploads mandatory screenie.... name that squadron

nothing personal against Marines. 1. i'm Army so just a little institutional pride there 2. barring that go the easy life and be surrounded by planes every day! (sorry here comes the gripes from the AF'ers bout the easy life.....)

not at the moment Geary. me thinks its one of those "those that don't have it want it" buuuut the old heads that are best at working max have it from the early YAP days and haven't gone to make it. nobody likes reinventing the wheel and alot of the best inventors have that wheel. its defineately on my to do list when i can afford Max2009, if someone hasn't finished one by then.

good luck. and if you aren't Army, then defineatley go Air Force. but not the Marines!!! (j/k, good luck whichever branch you join)

i know i know. anyone who knows me know i love biting pieces bigger than i can chew, then still managing to wolf the whole thing down. check yer PM Crazyhorse, got a question bout rocket pods.

nah the pot makes em creative. just see how many things they can make a bong out of!

Now do it drinking a glass of water

no breadfish with laserbeams. lethal and comes in many varieties.

Wrench this will work on Storms as well. just rename the bitmaps to B_67_x, or even easier add the ini's to a stock B_67 USN Grey. to all i hate it when you guys subliminally make me think of a way to do something better, but that requires me to rework the whole bit! thought on it some last night and realized i would save on number of decals to do unit specific skins for the Marines. only changed every few years or for carrier deployments. the Navy on the other hand changed damn near every year, esp. PACFLT!!!!!!!! same decal folder layout, just different layout for the USMC and how many N_xx's i make. me thinks STORMs will just have a few Grey folders and skin specific for the carrier deps, as they were the most signifigant action the N took part in (aside from the Red Lightning campaing off of Iceland! ) after may patch there has been..... funniness with the skins in that one and dont want to go to July yet.

first method is.........don't. bastards are lethal with that tail cannon. however if you must, try to come in from the sides where they have a harder time tracking you. walk rounds along the wingspan or try to take off his tail. and tho it will throw your accuracy off, keep jinking that bird!

ok heres the last of what i'll mess with for now. not even enough to call it a beta, but it gets ya some skins and the rest of you a peek at what im workin with. full set for VMFA-531 and 323, also a low viz Tarsiers decal set in the mix as well. the serials (Numbers folder) are about locked in tho for the N release. hope you like it. Ghost, you are specifically set up on here for USMC Cardep and USMC Grey79. the rest is pretty much sneak peak, and works with the DLC N.

ok will make some of the changes. the mod is a more generic rather than a unit by unit, but getting the tail and fuselage decals for everyone right. so prob no pylon but a/c intake is no prob (part of the bln decal for the radome). can change out the skin for grey over white rather than grey overall no worries. do you remember if VMFA-323 was the same? as for the Eagle claw markings that will likely become a whole new skin/ decal set just with those two units. as for modex, again it draws from a generic set of black and white. however in the dropdown menu it shows the numbers 100-224, then 100 White - 224 White. so just set up in the drop sown menu or in the menu for the mission editor if you have that and you'll be good. will check in same bat time tommorrow

ah so IBP hires 2LTs when they get out do they?

hows that? gotta fix the modex for the non carrier deployed one, ini dance across 21 skins is no fun. and thats just the N!! again should get it shot to ya tommorow if your patient. it will cost you tho........ you have to check the rest of my N pack when its ready! as shown here its on STORMs N, but i have the DLC also and am bringing both up to standard. BTW i thought they were in the overall grey by 78 and the deployment. or were they in the original grey over white? @ eburger, took a look at the Expansion pack. the one in there is correct for the Coral Sea dep. the alternate( and many of the loviz) appears to be teh stock with the contrast/balance played with. am working all units post 77 right now, starting with N, then S, then J and B (yes the Marines were flying the B until 78!) bases off of my squadronlist for the decals so might be a little tricky to incorporate for units like VMFA-134 and other non stock, but will get with you when done so they are a little closer to real. skins for each branch for each year 77-92, and 100 historical buno for Rhinos that survived to be N's/S's. balance that with college and a fam of 5 and i hope y'all understand why ive been jabbering so long bout it

help help i'm being repressed!! now we see the violence inherent in the system!!

Gimme a day to tighten up that squadron. Got a MARINE CARDEP skin with the NK code, historic N SN's, snd another overall gloss gull skin set just to 1977, 78 and 79 for the EC code. Should just hsve to get the radome done (i have it worked as a decal) and get to my inlaws. (Currently no home internet and the school dont like us doing up/downloads anything larger than 2 mb)

they get better treatment than the Tomcats got on retirement... the Cats got shredded in an industrial woodchipper! at least the Phantoms get used to train the next generation and many make it back to base even after being hit.

HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'SSSSSS BAAAAAAAAAAAACCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mandatory screenie. really gotta get back to this one, and the Galaxy.

they said unmanned, not un-piloted. heres a pic of the pilot...

i want those particular drones flying over my neighborhood. but maybe i am a lil phanatical......

(drum rolls.......) ................two weeks.
