E model.....

its in this thread even.......

votings been over for well over a month, so not really curious. and went with the results of the vote on this one have you not been paying attention to the screenshot and WIP threads? Stevie Wonder shouldnt be surprised at this point

Liberty Belle

the animation wont do a thing. you gotta put some more drag on it in the data.ini. too much and it flies backwards in a reverse version of what you experienced. too little and..... also i would advise, work your own tables. share if you want. then leave it be someone will come along, take your baby you worked hard on, and make their own little tweak to it that will totally throw your tables off. then yell at you in forum for the table being off. thats just part of this show, all the modders here have seen it to some extent or another. the tweaking itself, well thats what modders do (or as is said i reject your reality and substitute my own)

Allengheny tankers part 1

22 years ago

AWESOME!!!! while im not going as in depth with the R as i will with the E, the 100th in the early 90s is one of my planned upcoming projects. between being the only old school tail (Square D) to being one of the few tanker units even outside of AMC to have nose art at teh time (heritage nose arts from WW2 didnt hurt their cause) and finally local presence during the Yugo tours of the 90s theyve been high on the list for a bit now since the models are so similar, the decal placement, template and majority skin work translates between the three well. only the engines will need major rework on the A and R and everything else will be dialled in.....

well disregard mine i misunderstood you as meaning landing lights, not an actual cockpit panel light

a note to the skinners out there veteran or aspiring im aiming to standardize the decals for all marking possibilties, so that provisional wings can be built up unlike fighter squadrons, tankers didnt generally deploy as one whole unit. rather units would contribute aircraft and Airmen to a provisional unit. say 3 or 8 per my goal is to have others be able to create provisional units by pulling the tga out of the folders, renaming then sticking in the new folder with zero ini dancing. hopefully i remember to whip up a video while i do ODS (sorry that will be for ODS team only to replace the old skins). the idea is easy. the execution isnt too hard....... so long as you pay attention to what you do

simply wicked

you may wish to change the brightness and/or the size of the light i find when i do play with the lighting that the stock/original figures are really really bright. like bleed into cockpit bright.......

ahem..... werent you the very one that worked up the B-47 numbers a year or two back? principles stand though and i dont see way a a stick of Mk82s or a LGB with in game, person on the ground designator wouldnt provide similar (tho less glowing) results NOTE: LGB wont work tossing if you load a laser designator on your bird. you gotta hold nice and still. and the in game on the ground designator will only work on the assigned target for that misson, not any side quests

for those of you that voted mega pack the next project is currently at 58 individual skins. amusingly (esp to those that know me) the aircraft folders are nearly double the size of the decal folder this time around.

in game, pretty much you need to practice. i havent heard of methods for computer release on the player flown aircraft. you still have to pull the trigger in the B-47E aircraft release there was a method shared to toss bomb the Mk15 nuke. pretty much involved "fly at specific speed and altitude, pull up hard at x distance, release at x altitude, complete loop and get the hell outta dodge". another member and i worked this out to a cookie cutter procedure for that aircraft and weapon. once we came to a rough agreement on how, it got written up and added as part of the mod you would have to create your own methods for other aircraft/weapons combos. its not something youll write into a data.ini if you do work out methods, please do share how you did it. reference what's in quotation marks above for what info others would need to have

did you guys know that you can just play this game too? i mean, just fly missions with stock birds?

not change in your mods folders the simplest, most minor alteration to the timeline would be to have the Shah pick the Eagle over the Tomcat. in reality not even the Shah's pockets were that deep but this is Allen's world, and in it those pockets were deep enough. not how i'd have gone, but it is how he went

little side note on the F-14/F-15 flyoff: the Tomcat team cheated the F-15 went first. while they were doing their demo the Tomcat team burnt off fuel at high engine settings so that when they took off they only had enough in the tanks for the demonstration plus about 300 lbs. it made them several tons lighter than the F-15 and made them seem much more sporty than the Eagle the Eagle was more mature and the better technical pick for their need. but the Tomcat/Phoenix potential, mixed with some superior showmanship, won the day

true, but a first rule of alt history is to make the initial change as minor as possible in this case, i would've had the Eagle selected over the Tomcat rather than both serve together also the C/Ds wouldve been coming online right about the time of the revolution and probably wouldnt have been delivered. but one could go around that saying the FAST packs were originally developed for the IIAF, then later carried over to the USAF C models and say that some of those were delivered again, its great skin work and i know im counting ficitous rivets.

wickedly awesome. the historian /alt history purist in me has a few nitpicks on the story but the skins are great

gassin up over the Adriatic

just another day over Bosnia. although why the Reservists brought the tanker sightseeing is a mystery...

well thats one way to confirm or deny heres another

Barksdale tankers are way down the road, probably not this year heres a BUFF to tide you over

well, i thought there was one at DAT but seems not. at least not that i could find in a 5 min search mandatory screenie, plus a Jimi Hendrix song
