did the 184th get to keep any of their Bones (or somebody else's that was retired)?

this ones a killer i tell ya... (63-7623 during semi retirement in Terre Haute...)

well the Navy version didnt have enough thrust to be a fighter but i'd say teh Air Force did well employing it as a fighter bomber

hello, working up a skin for Spang EF-4Cs and noticed the weasel parts were missing a look through the data ini reveals the following mssg //er142 removed due to it's not fitting correctly at inner pylons & tailcone// bringing it back it is as such magic question is : is there a way to remove the pylons via hex editor? it never was a strong suite of mine and is weaker from a few years of non use alternate question is does anyone have the max file for the ER-142 "pilot", and would they be willing to post a new one sans Shrike racks? really great resolution would be one of our modellers doing a new fake pilot model for this, but i dont want to push it too far there any ideas?

no worries, sh....tuff happens. hell, you know i have several people look over my stuff before release and its just simple skins typically. yet i just recently found a mistake in mine after checking somebody elses for them (they were using templates i've jimmy'd up). this is CA, not walmart or mcdonalds. we dont freak, we fix and move on

oh, no. no they wont. the result when i tried just renaming texture and moving what i did on the stock C into there was...... hilarious its as close to a TW C model as a Super Hornet is to a legacy Hornet irl (actually a good comparison i think)

well, maybe stay high enough to clear the frag pattern earlier in the day, before the boys from Fort Wayne went to cut off HBO for all of East Germany...

shush you, i figured you might when i wrote but still

no, i wont be doing that one. i would say get me a model and i'll do it, but then i might get surprised like i did with the EF-4C. but im fairly certain that no one has a model of that one. sorry as it is, i'll be calling the EF-4C done after the initial service introductions with the Indiana Air Guard

since the amount of people making multiple accounts and downloading dozens of files per day drove the costs for the site through the roof. Erik couldnt let it go full on free for much longer without having to shut the site down oh and i will question your math, as most currency conveters as of todays post say 6.95 is about 5.60 pound. still about the price of a cheaper fast food meal for one, but now you gotta be thoughtfull about what you want and not download willy nilly.

i think they look ok from the side (not great but not terrible either). my only issue is the size. most of the trees that big in the midwest got chopped down nearly two centuries ago

watch out, she's a ......

a video i came across while researching other things on WWIV

proper protection would have helped ya know...

we're workin on it. you were invited ya know biggie at the moment is the strike camera that was permanent in the port Sparrow well until they were deconverted and sent to Indiana. and the rails..

well its certainly better than the old but liking the wip so far (even w/o rails) i had just wished the Shrike rail was seperate from the antennae farm in yours

well chit. forgot i left that in there i see your heavy ordinance and raise 64 troopers on a one way trip

where you get the functional LAU-34s?

what about making batch houses, with say the four houses in one row connected as one object?

Spang '79 pt 1

my next hunt is to see if there were any instances of Shrikes inboard and out board, so far it only seems to be inboard with wing tanks in a defense of Germany scenario, i dont think they would need the wing tanks, so Shrike and CBU seems more likely than

well of course the EF-4D got mod'd for it. but then they were un modded and the equipment loaded into the Gs make you wonder tho if there were a handful of Ds that could carry STARM in the 80s tho.... gotcha on the ARN. i thought there might be some pilot displays but that makes sense. double down on that for the EF-4C, which is why i didnt even ask about that

interesting again, i havent seen in flight pics of Ds with Shrikes or Standard ARMs. was especially looking for them in Spangdahlem in the late 70s thinking there might be an earlier version of the hunter/killer teams like in the 80s. no dice tho

aside from the EF-4D testbeds, im not aware of any D's that carried ARMs period. that was left to the EF-4Cs and the long noses (E and G). shoot, reading into things not many were equipped to carry Mavericks even with Joe Baughers site listing a half dozen serials as being Pave Spike and Maverick capable as for LORAN, i have nothing as far a manuals or pics. but in serial num hunting i did find out that the LORAN birds were converted from many Block 32 and nearly all the Block 33 aircraft if that helps any. cant find anything on whether they were converted at depot or on the assembly line, off topic (ish), didnt you have a launch rail for the Shrike somewhere in your bag of goodies?

if there are significant differences, will you be doing a pit for the LORAN (ARN-92) Ds as well? i do not know if there was a major difference, but you got the reference material. catch is there were only 72 modified iirc
