View File Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years Echoes Across the States: KC-135E Stratotanker's First 15 Years This skinpack is a remod of the TMF KC-135E done years ago. While utilizing the same model, it now features a greatly improved texture set, ini performance enhancements and each of the skins is researched to be as accurate as is possible with current knowledge. Included * two KC-135E versions, (82) and (92) sixty (yes 60!) skins between the two versions. most Shamu based skins also feature nose arts Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable drogue "weapon", addable in the loadout screens Required a legal functioning install of any SF2 version Installation unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc) allow overwrites fire up game, take off and go pass gas Known Issues -This is meant as eye candy. unfortunately, SF2 doesnt support air to air refueling so the best to be done is set up a recon mission and then park it in an orbit. - Also, the C-130 cockpit is not too accurate. it is included mainly so that it can be player selected (i had to test it somehow). remember that there is no air to air refueling in game, so these are more eye candy than operational birds - dont manuever aggressively. aggressive manuvering will cause a deep stall. its a huge pain to recover from as a player (firewall the throttle, set flaps to landing, yank stick back and hold). any AI wingmen wont make it trying to follow you *Wagner CD not included Credits BPAO (Olivier Anguille, RIP) - original model Dave- head of original released original project Dels- C-130 cockpit guruu- E8engine sound for the TF33s yakarov79- drogue basket model, original skin templates PeacePuma- research assist, tga work on FACH skin Menrva- data ini edits(mainly collision boxes) Wrench- tech advice, approval master extrodinaire daddyairplanes- research, ini edits, texture and tga work, new additions to templates TK- the overall game in all its modability ************************************************************* This is freeware; it CANNOT be distributed unless permissions are granted by myself.

brief flight for the hell of it. somehow wound up getting two gun kills on MiG-23MLAs (after 8 Falcon shot between me and my wingman to get the very first one)

its not a Warthog stick, but this one's been pretty decent when i do use a joystick. might be useful until youre fully back up https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Joystick-Programmable-Weighted-Rapid-fire/dp/B00009OY9U/ref=asc_df_B00009OY9U/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=242012519199&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17217379094859195921&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9009829&hvtargid=pla-365326647739&psc=1

done monkeying around. E models are uploaded and waiting approval for everyone thats been waiting on the Numbah One Buzzards... anywho, enjoy when it actually goes live......

meanwhile, this one is up and waiting approval....

so fresh out the paint shop, the new unit markings havent even gone on yet

almost.....

why not the colors on the rudder and Polly on the fin?

everythings going nice and smooth, then you get one part that wants to get difficult....... and the outboard looks to be just different enough to cause a headache too. well at least when R_003 is done _004 will be a copy/paste job.....

good gawd, what does the drop down menu look like with Soviet AND NATO weapons!?!?!? or did you set up a batch of UkAF specific weapons? mandatory screenie, or MDD day at Lambert....

would that make the wingmen Democrats? (yes i know wrong Republicans....)

this week on Mig Monday Wrong Reciever, or The Case of the Serbian Photobomb.........

oh yeah some engine work too

the E models are just about ready for the general public, im literally waiting to hear back from an Air National Guard Wing about their history. a standard nose art across their fleet, and i have 4 made, with 2 more known to exist but not what they are. if no word by next weekend then out of the paint barn they come meanwhile, after some RL business, modding goes on. the R needs some love too, although its not getting as much as the E did APU fixes original new

an Impala helped get my Soldier out of trouble (ish) a long time ago back at Bragg so there we were taking a truck with water trailer back to get more water. suddenly the brakes locked up and we swapped ends, doing a 180 turn WITHIN the confines of a two lane road (no tire marks outside the lines). the trailer was a quarter full of water so the sudden shift caused the trailer to tip over as we came to a stop. but nobody hurt (although the other two Soldiers thought I got thrown when i hooped out as soon as we stopped to check the vehicle and surroundings) they tried saying my driver was speeding. i was able to say she wasnt because immediately before this happened i was looking at an Impala and pissed about the rims they had put on a classic car like that. turned out the trailer had an air leak (wasnt ours but the unit we were attached to at that moment) which drained the air tanks in the truck. once the tanks get empty, bam! truck automatically braked itself to a stop. - - - - - - - - - yeah i know long for an off topic bit. heres a plane

yeah, Navy Phantoms didnt carry LGB at all. they left that to the birds in the VA squadrons but its your install, there are no mistakes. go bomb that happy little tree over there ------------------------------- Makos over the Adriatic

707 I got DC-8 also I agree, a 727 and Caravelle would be nice im guessing your time frame is outside the service of the A310 though

loaded a bird up for the next project. in line with my 23rd Wing one......

wicked if ya need to do a series of parked airliners with European carriers, let me know. i know a guy that could whip it up fairly quickly.......

who said the Bone was a he?

going off the phrase "visualize" if you can extend the range by which an EO sensor can see, i dont see why not. Mavericks and the BUFFs TVS systems can see things in the sky if they are pointed in that direction and if they can see out that far then they show up on the little screen. Tomcat in theory too although ive never actually tried it out now, if you mean TARGET, like Eric said thats a hard no. but they werent meant for that in real life anyhow.

Scooter 7, Zues-23 0 well damn, that Zues mighta got 3 points in. I still won But Gunny's gonna be pissed..........

so i was trying to decide what unit/noseart to add for the loading screen on the E(82). then i discovered that this gem lasted exactly two days. the artist (who is also the author of the Painted Ladies books) went in and did it on a saturday. it went to the paint shop to be stripped and painted AMC grey on Monday, making it the "shortest lived nose art in the Air Force". and so a finalist for (82) was selected. (92) already has been picked since near the start of this project

gotta quit monkeying around gotta be done in time for football ya know. who brought the cheese fries?

youre doing air to air in it? i think they dont want the package i have to deliver
