and yet you use the "dont quote the dark magic to me witch" or "i was there, 3000 years ago" way too little....

suggestion outside of your current issue break up your collection. you can have different themed installs based on .... whatever the end of the world with a "Final Countdown" time loop wouldnt bring that managerie of aircraft in one place at one time. plus the less per collection the less issues. not saying lose any aircraft, just saying maybe have a collection of 5 sets rather than one huge set

is that the old F-16B? meanwhile, flying escort for an airdrop in the Balkans...

you'd think they'd be Snowbirds. Guess they wanted a warmer name....

yup, circa '04-06 the guy that was silent in the last beta test thread of ours put the bug in my ear to do it. or specifically, i started looking at the ESSM pods (a fake pilot add on), then fiexed them, then looked at pics from 2003-2007...... you get the picture The NATO ones were actually much simpler to do, as they dont differentiate tween the 3 squadrons. just 1 NAEWF. and i did the research on that years ago. but since i had the decal slots open, i put in a data plate with serial num and model (B or C) right now im just waitin on a couple answers from said guy to complete. all the tgas are already made, whole wing skin done, and squadron skins are just a matter of copy and ini edit.

started because.... Phantoms stayed after I got teh modding bug prior ot that, computer ownership (and therefore flight simming ) was a very on and off thing for me.

the little things you can do when you have the slots open

ok then still sounds good for those with Max capability

ok does it work with Blender, or only Max 09 (for SF2 purposes)

ok how would we use this? could this bring model creation to the masses, or is it a specialized tool for the 3D model folks? please explain it to me like im stupid. because when it comes to making models i am

View File SENTRY : Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component SENTRY: Aircraft of the NATO E-3A Component Since 1983, NATO has operated international squadrons of E-3A Sentrys, commonly referred to as AWACS from Geilenkirchen AB. Registered in Luxembourg due to international law, the NATO AEW&C Force held watch during the final decade of the Cold War, participated in operations over the Balkans and Libya, and assisted with US homeland defense after the attacks on 9/11/01. During the late 1990s, the NATO Sentry fleet gained upgrades in line with the USAF's Block 30/35 upgrades. These included distinctive fairings on the aircraft chin, cheek and tail housing ESM equipment. The aircraft retained their original E-3A designations after the upgrades. For several years, retired 707 airliners were also operated as trainers to reduce E-3 flying hours and as transports to support NAEWF missions as well as other NATO missions when available. These aircraft were designated CT-49A and operated unti the mid 2010s. Included This mod includes skin for the E-3A, an E-3A_98 aircraft with fake pilot upgrades and CT-49A trainer aircraft, as well as decals and a set of ESM pods for the newer E-3A Installation unzip mod, add contents of "2 Mod Folder" to mod folder of your choice. allow overwrites Known Issues - The Sentry aircraft pull hard to port (left) when taking off. This only occurs when the player is hand flying the aircraft, when AI or autopilot flies this is not an issue - The cockpit is not a great match for the aircraft, however SF2 does not support any of their (E-3 or CT-49) original missions as player flyable and they were originally intended to be eye candy. Until we get a 3d modeller that wants to do a new E-3 or even 707 proper pit, this is how it will be.

it was an allegory, with a Cat unit that flew off the Forrestal, and guruu wrapping up work on one and ...... fine. heres something you can understand would you believe B61s arent as commonly available as Mk82?

just out here looking for the Forrestal.....

"can you describe the plane?" oh its white with red stripes and looks like a big Tylenol....

and now, our coming attractions

hit alt d twice there is a sizeable knowledge base in the SF2 threads. theres also a manual (in your main "ThirdWire" program folder) that should cover basics like that

you may or may not find something in there

the original guys are not. there is a team reworking it though, if apron park is viable they'd be the ones to figure it out https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10159487792952484&set=p.10159487792952484
