the Top Aces ones are about as much as i'll cover for this century. i've got a big kick of Vipers from the onset of USAF service through the Balkans coming up over probably the next year given RL considerations. i've asked somebody to hook me up with a new Block 10, and especialy a new Block 10 B model. but in the interim i also adjusted the decal inis to fit the TW model as well. just no two seaters (the old B Block 10 in the gen 1 section is bad enough i wont even touch it) and then we wait. and i move on to Shaw Block 15s.....

i suppose i really should have the markings available in TW Viper as well

thank you for sharing that!

as to the jaguars, find a decent photo and use the color picker in GIMP or PS, or better still a decal sheet or model instructions that will have the paint color on them. then google the RGB of those (ie RGB of Revell Dark Brown paint or Testors Brown 34xxx) of course adjusting final mix to your taste as to the other Kevin chiming in, moderator status might not protect Stratos

if you know the modeller, or if someone did a hella fakepilot...... EA-37B Compass Call II

first Vipers...

first official Fighting Falcon...

that would technically be Google won the round but i did finally get the info from a FB group. so i got that going for me which is good

there's several pics of birds in the 80s with the 12AF on the tail, but no pics of the 12 AF badge on intakes or noses something like this and yes i know the badge is this as of google search today im trying to confirm it wasnt different in the early to mid 80s, or that they didnt say just use the triangle protion of the badge. but 5 books, 9 magazines and a dozen hours online and i cant find a pic of the 12th AF logo on an intake any ideas or better still photos? quality doesnt need to be good so long as i can confirm what i got

testing testing....

are you saying that the mod says you dont have those versions? unless thats the case, its just like any other big mod on here. it needs a few of the specific versions for lods and other parts (Israel comes to mind) and it needs its own clean exe because of all thats in it

Nevada Boss birds

Vegas to Europe non stop there'll be so much to do when you get there!

sorry, my mix up. realized it after you posted the list i personally would have liked SNEBs visually, but American pods were much more realistic for a Ukraine volunteer force in the mod.

LAU-51A_M151_twin AJ

a twin LAU-32 is available in teh International Volunteer Group release. but the boss man still has to release the package (including twin Matras) for the regular Alpha Jet (including updated data and loadout inis)

did he literally tell you to raise your seat up?

I had a dream when I was young, A dream of sweet illusion A glimpse of hope and unity, And visions of one sweet union But a cold wind blows and a dark rain falls And in my heart, it shows, Look what they've done to my dream, yeah!

there was, but until the mid 60s with the F-86H it was generally temporary and experimental. this is a warbird Sabre, but its markings are pretty accurate to the 461sst (or possibly 527th?) Fighter Day Squadron in the early to mid 1950s. i have a photo in the book Before Centuries (USAFE in the 40's and 50s) that matches but photo its an F model (not Canadair) and much blurrier The H's first gained camo not as aggressors but because of the move to camoflaging all tactical aircraft from 1965 onward. EDIT: Svetlin's post popped while i was typing. but i will say the Piccaini aircraft site is a nice find for more than just this topic. Thank you sir

late 1980/early 1981: the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing gives up its venerable F-4Ds to become the second F-16 operator in the USAF

making it a modded aircraft unless the aircraft folder only has an aircraft.ini that points to stock files in the DLLs. once you add a cockpit, a diferent ini than what TK wrote or a different skin, its now a modded aircraft. thats why all the focus on stock: as in original, the way it was when you first fired up the game without adding anything to it.

gen 2 ready full aircraft https://combatace.com/files/category/646-other/?page=2 theres more in the 1st gen section but those need additional work to make fully workable in Gen 2 i did forget to mention cockpits, although that still takes it out of being stock and being a modded aircraft

exactly

stand ins irl this was a two seater

just a few more until the A-6E TRAM
