Erik has some good advice I run almost all of my mod folders on a seperate drive (D in my case). however, ODS30AE is one of two that i go ahead and populate in my C drive and the classic filepath for SF2. unless your main drive is super tiny (like under 100GB) it may be advisable to do so with this mod. yes i know its big. but trust me, its not the biggest out there

thank you for beatin me to it Viggen woulda answered my self, but this has been...... challenging. the wings still arent 100% as im still hunting good top views of teh camo. what i have so far is based off of frontal and rear take off pics, and Metrea's own page on Artstation. as well as model limits the fuse/tail shapes are set, individual markings locked in, but i'm not liking how the colors look in game vs lodviewer. will tighten that up a bit tomm and see if i can get better pics of the wing tops

this one is being a straight up muder mystery/1000 piece puzzle esp the wings, as i still havent found any top views also, anyone know if the MPRS is available in another mod? i could have sworn i saw someone add it but now cant remember where

i just couldnt resist this one. George Brown is the name of teh more familiar camo one (Agean Ghost is what Metrea is calling the camo). i'll do that one tomm.......

you know, with all these 5th gen and 4.5 birds coming up, we're going to need tocontract some tanker support.....

FB can be hit or miss for info and assistance with this little hobby. but when its a hit, its a solid hit. like someone having a plaque featuring all 7 nose arts on the 22d ARS's tankers in 1997 then when one guys was clipped on teh right side, causing issue with finishing the last one, another guy is able to provide different pic of same plaque. and the problem child

Gunfighter Gas going to Genoa. say that 5 times fast and just know, its not just me thats playing on words...

it may be cheaper to rent a truck or van and drive. not knowing you two's cities i checked Madrid to Antwerp (first cities per country off top of my head) 1600 km, about two days trip each way. a 2500 km (well 1600 mile for me) trip took me about 3 days with flying back after the drive. would have been 2 1/2 but i drove into a bad snow storm at the tag end of it. edit: possibly faster for your drive. i forgot that most European highways have faster speed limits than American ones and i couldnt get above 65mph until i crossed the Mississippi River

is that for real? would be the quickest German reaction since... hell i can ever think of. _________________________________________ good night you all, from your local Idaho aerial gas station union

well thank you funny thing bout that pic. i forgot about the 3 decal per mesh rule. yeah, me the freakin decal whisperer . had the tail fin, the tail code, tail number and special tail nums (as seen above) for left and right. the regular tail num was just one decal. started getting mad when the "22 ARS" was showing on the right side. played with naming. played with the decal ini. finally pull up my hand and count them out. naming off each decal regular numbers, one two three boss bird. one two three.... four. dammit had to redo the tail stripe tga to include the MO code we're all better now

why is it soooo hard to get decent info on tankers from 1992 to 1995? took about 3 hours to find the boss bird from 92, and you'd think that would be heavily documented

too quiet in here. needs some MO pics

well, you had F-51s in Korea. and while it was the backwater conflict, it was also still the hotter one of the two

and here i thought you'd go the easy route, with the 86th Fighter Wing in Germany scrambling to reequip with jets during the Berlin Airlift (in RL they flew F-47Ds until 1950)

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
