i can no prob. doin a touch up for the new DLC right this moment and the skins really are just Sundowners with unit markings blanked out. personally (yeah i know blasphemy) i like the DLC skins and am gonna use them in my own installs. but can shoot all three decal folders over here when i upload the DLC tweek. also big thanks for the lesson on place holding. three squadrons to move after this DLC and the impending patch but not as bad as reworking the whole frakkin thing as i had been doing.... and finally a curious thing about squadrons. i have 5 Danish squadrons added but cannot seem to get them to show in drop down. bout to post on TW forums to see what i'm doin wrong. all other units show just fine. think it has to do with decals available for units. here is 98% complete squadronlist so you can maybe see what im talkin about. stil wanna add the Norwegians and flesh out the Danes abit. also any other countires for stock games and campaign improvement would be appreciated but i honestly don't mess with Isrreal or Vietnam much. have them to improve my Europe game so ideas from those that fly more in there would be appreciated.

hold on that DL WBS, i'm doing that one up but the current version on HD has about 600+ squadrons plus 150 placeholders so adjustments for patches are minimal. i will be releasing a preview of sorts by sunday or monday with a decal pack for the new DLC skinpack. also your several patches old if yours has 270 some entries. july patch takes it to 401 and the new DLC adds 4 more USAF squadrons for a total of 405

some work done....... i actually rather like these skins, just not the decal.ini that came with. fortuneately i was workin a revised skin pack for Sundowners versions of these skins so should have this out sooner than the naval ones as said. wrappin up for tonight (ben a busy day even w/o this) but gotta add slimers to the all D's and fix three squadrons that have been added in the squadronlist (HUGE THANKYOU to HomeFries for teachin this knucklehead to use placeholders). also made a version of the new skins for the C_67 and edited the (aircraft).ini's for the versions that 1. didnt fly the newer schemes and 2. did fly for the Thunderbirds! really F-4D TB's!!!!! sheessh lmao.

Hill 2's dont look as bad as they did on FB. but the tailcodes defineatley need updated. breakin into CATs now.......

getting it now. will change decal ini to take my decal pack shortly. faster than Navy pack cause these are already done. many more units than stock to come. and yes the Hill 2 is off Sundowners being better in screen shots

Praetor, can't wait for your Phantoms. looks good! Wrench, where did you get those Hellcats? mandatory screenie

big thing off top of my head, Mk 80 series has no specific start year. have seen P-51s carrying Mk81's in 1948. tell me what s wrong with that pic...........

B-61 should work for nuclear sharing with USAF/USN attachment points just fine. i've run many a NATO zipper mission w/ B61 before no worries. as for squadrons yess all but Norway ar currently in squadronlist but for some reason i cannot get Denmarks units to show up. one has to have the specific syntax it seems cause some dutch units were missing til i fixed em. (ex. 416TFS, 32RAF etc) whats buggin me is finding the right mix for the Danes, but also all my current installs are very lightly modded right now with no F-104 or Danish skins anywhere. gotta few hours of class today then my wife is trying out for a job so i'll add on the skins/aircraft and see if it has any effect. gotta theory but also gotta go....... also have gunny's pack broken down into sections will take a loook and poss send to you this weekend.

danish and belgians (and dutch too...) squadrons check F-104 will doublecheck against the AirTime book i have after church, but i think so.

skydiver's ballsy, no doubt on that........

if its the same price as the Navy skins i'll likely get it. then i'll prob think on how Sundowners skins with my own decals are better but hey its a better use of 3 bucks than a cheeseburger or smokes...... edit just looked at the pics on TW site. Euro 1 is toooooo defined as per most photos ever taken of that paintjob, while Hill 2 is not defined enough again as every photo i can recall seeing......

ok cool. now officially reassured......

will have rough squadronlist.ini up later tonight for consideration. most Vietnam AGExp and NF4+ squadrons are added along with most ANG squadrons that flew a stock TW in their RL history. although that file is change semi regularly by TK, it's in increments of about 3-5 every 4 months and that is why 150 some slots were added: that way only the new couple of squadrons need to be added. i also left around 850 to 999 blank so futre mods and/or campaigns can have the extra room. while i definately think landing lights would be a great idea, i gotta point out that is edited in the data.ini and those get messed with every month. some form of plug in to the stock ini maybe but other wise something would be changed every month. not sayin lets not do it, just have a good plan is all..

cute. i figured more like Have Danish...........

the govt. wouldn't put out a message like that for public consumption due to fear of panic in the streets. Besides CNN would break the story before the EBS!

someone could point the exact answer out better than me but i think it may have something to do in the ini's. i'm thinking something to do with the color values like changing the lights or colors of text. little hopped up on theraflu and nyquil right now so i'm sorry it this isnt too useful but it hopefully gets you in the right direction.....

i've figured the whole thing out, Dave's been replaced with evil Dave.... on second thought good Dave still likes his firepower...........

thats not what they meant by use protection in the Friday saftey briefs............

looks cool. however i don't think there will be a Top Gun sequel now with Tony Scott gone..........

got alot else on my plate right now and this has been sitting on my HD since April. the wings are darker than the fuselage for some reason and i haven't gotten around to decalling it. that said i think this is the farthest project along so i anyone is interested in picking it up and finishing for their own project lemme know and i'll PM it to you. i'd like to see it out there for the 80's and early 90's Hercs but i'm just stalled out on it.

pure awesomeness! please tell me you're releasing that one!

also any planes you want gone can actually disappear just by deleting the particular planes folder in the main Aircraft one. no need for blank files in Objects........

nah Wrench's Zombie squad is better however for now i'm stuck with TW due to 1. cost of DCS 2. the fact i have all major SF2 titles and 3 most importantly, Phantoms.

not working out the hourly on it but i get 40% disability from the Veterans Administration for my dings and dents. thing is my back is the major issue and reason i filed a claim in the first place. how ever i got 30 percent for PTSD like issues (filed as an afterthought on advise of a VA rep) and 0% for my back because i didn't act like i was in pain. sorry, after 7 years it gets old whining about the pain everyday! back on topic.... with these other countries planes being released terrains to match would be mighty nice. hell don't even need a campaign, i'm sure we would work that one out fast in the CA house! so long as it's not too locked up.....
