as mentioned in your other post on this, would it work over shoulder to make a virtual cockpit outta household materials?

new challenge, make a cockpit that will work with this, using only toilet paper tubes, bottle caps and ducktape! (macguyver theme plays in the background......)

does anyone have a Euro 1 (Lizard) schemed C-130? or know where i can find a site that will have the layout to make such a paintjob? we have silver, SEA and AMC Grey in the files but seem to be missing the middle years of the 80' and early 90's for the Hercs. Hell i'll make one if i can be point to a reference that has the TO's and diagrams for painting em. Galaxy and Starlifter would be nice too but it seems they were removed due to issue with the creators work. TIA for any assistance.

as a old sergeant of mine said, if you aint cheating you aint tryin! should have thought about the textureset ini though, given my gloss gull and lo viz skins are damn near the same difference being.... the glossiness and reflection in the textureset. not sure on how specular plays in yet though(yes i like to learn the hard, painful way)

yea but watch, its implemented in a expansion pack and we will gripe about the 20 things that got broken to give us AAR

off we go, into the wild blue yonder.... oops. sorry wrong branch

took a look at the screenie Dels but i swear it looks bigger than that in real life. gotta poss line on another source but will keep it in mind if that doesn't pan out. not tryin to be a rivet counter, but it does look a lil small compared to USAF birds i always saw at Pope. btw this comes about cause i'm refining a Euro 1 skin for your E/H model Herks.

hell C-130 aint stock, but i figured out a method to use Del's grey skin to keep the panel lines as if a template. makes it easy being one color!

on the frosted look i'm open to suggestions. took the straight grey that is in Dels E/H and basically added in from a three view pic. did a little magic to keep 98% of the original panel lines, and smudged the color lines as every Euro 1 i've ever seen in person seems to blend together and looks like one color in the right lighting. Its my first try at it, quite happy with the wings and tail tho thinking of redoing the nose and fuselage. need to request a 3D modeller's help to make the dome on the top and i would dare call it ready for release. hey when ya get sick of waitin for someone else to make it, and you have the tools make it yourself!

who says we dont look at the pretty scenery here? although the guy in back of pic two is sick and tired of Hercules recon missions and every mig in the '83 production bactch coming after him!

thanks for the replys all. yes garyscott that is a useful document, although i found another resource for this particular project. almost done, tho i did give up on tryin to match nose to fuselage on the shades for now.

if there ever is MP in SF2, you guys could sell tickets to an EricJ v Ceasar match up. start each in their favorite bird(18F v 14A+) then Super Hornet v same and wrap up with Tomcat v Tomcat. get JonathanRL to record and provide commentary! still this thread is a virtual KB of dogfighting cause of you two.

of course you like it Dave. it has Phantoms this is why they don't use 130's for recon anymore! on a different note wasnt there a new ini line making cargo or supply a mission?

that makes it official. in order to cut costs, TK has suspended drug testing for the AI!

gotta ask bought from mikoyan or put in service after capture?

ok i am noticing the opposite. you guys have birds going for altitude records whereas my Migs are trying to set low altitude speed records! was checking progress on my C-130 skin and had a Mig-21 zoom by BELOW me at mach .98! all the more remarkable because i was at 125 ft AGL!!! got the info i was looking for but didn't survive very long given Ivan was being just a little aggressive.

thank you for the fix. just noticed the C-130 issue last night trying to set up a European 1 skin. game on again

just like the cell phone companies! warning it is the unedited version.

i've had this on VHS for over 20 years, but been looking for it on dvd or youtube. finally found it! this video was the only reason i kept the VHS tape all these years.

havent noticed altitude record attempts in AI but the enemy sure is pulling some funky manuevers in engagements now. some one tell TK not to let the AI watch Dogfights! also had to remove the decal block size line from texture.ini's as it was locking them all on one number, even with the randomize line in there.

this is not a formal complaint but an observation, there is ALOT in this mod. running it on my new HP Pavillion and a heavy terrain modded (stary's latest four seasons Germany) loads in one minute but runs 30fps or better. ODS runs at 6-8 fps like my old compaq used to for stok install. however i say its not a complaint yet as it led me to discover HP didn't install my Radeon card properly at the factory! gettin on with tech support in a bit to try and install it via remote and we will see. it is still awesomeness even at the low speeds i'v been running it at so far.

cause it's dark at night! what does it do if you edit to day and night?

teach the penguin demolitions and send it to the NYC Zoo maybe?

it is a damn good mod, tho stop giving em ideas about selling it want some fun go on an intercept in a Mig-29. managed to get 2 Vipers before dying!

you know there is therapy for people like us here. however it is too expensive and so we all come here instead so Dave, now that you've got your pony, its on to penguins?
