  1. nowhere near as bad as a whole airfield, but was working on a skin yesterday, paused to make lunch right then we get hit with a power brownout, which happened to be enough to kill my desktop. guess what i forgot to do before going to make lunch?
  2. i've read somewhere recently that the USAF is trailing that scheme on a Viper again. naturally, cant remember where i read it (been doing alot of online searching involving the phrase "F-16C" lately) mandatory screenie, or fun with stickers
  3. i dont suppose anyone knows which serial was the SQUADRON king in 1998? nearly all the shots from 1998 are of the special with the Capitol on it, and i dont think it was the same bird (this one was different from the one in 1995...)

  4. Viper Pit

    ok folks, i cant be the only one here flyin Vipers in SF2 i mean, unless someone is playin it in the White House, where else you gonna see these guys?
  5. might want to cut it to the side. most folks using a toyota as a launch platform really are doing "shoot and scoot"
  7. so a little in depth update. i didnt plan to do this one originaly. "it was covered" i said to myself . then my little "do everything" OCD bug kicked in..... 001 in the serial line up original skin 001 serial new skin this unit mark is tga Aircraft s/n 86-0233 original and new this one is on skin. the tga patch is a command bird one that covers. even tidied up the tail a little, although it needed the least work of any so far
  8. i know youve eyeballed the gun truck before, dont know if youve seen this article on the one ran by our side https://taskandpurpose.com/news/army-paratroopers-toyota-technical-kabul-airport/ blue side. AVAILBILITY=VERY_RARE nice site btw. thats from about 3 mins of looking, but got a couple things i want to look at deeper (if i still have my Jane's discs handy)
  9. ooooooh, pretty meanwhile, more of those college boys horsin around overhead.... or about to pass over the largest collection of two seat Vipers in the virtual or real world
  10. less tweaks to the tail of this one. but more a little bit more detail than the original (names, AFOUA etc)
  11. dammit, i think im late for this year guess i just have to watch the regulars well, when i m not working
  12. minor PITA.... and ive discovered im late for the wing king on this one for the year.....
  13. ok, wicked. see some of them taking off walking the dog, then come back in to see them in game... anywho.... i reject the previous skin and substitute my own
  14. i agree. in this case, even throw some on the windshield (with wiper marks of course )
  15. itsa wrap for tonight
  16. why cant we do no fly zone patrols over nice places, like the Gulf coast?
  17. researching can be draining. should take a trip to the Gulf... if anyone has better pics of the snake on the fuselage, i'd be appreciative. this one is a vector art that looked close to teh pics, then traced, chopped up and rearranged until it was close.
  18. took allen up on that info bout the Aggressor Block 30s. some work later (these are coming in after doing the single seaters in each skin after all)
  20. got enough LGBs? mandatory screenie, or not what i thought my boss meant when he said lets go hunting this weekend
  21. meanwhile, some fastass CAS for the mandatory screenie. right after they upgraded to Block 30s....
  22. theres been a few missing details from the Bats skin, especially if you want it from the early 90s and yeah, they mostly all had nosearts, but i can only find about half of them
  23. wicked optical illusion, the set of wheels closest to the viewer looks smaller than the set further
  24. another MiG killer
  25. not sure how your making your vortexes, but it would likely be better to make one or two multi part vortexes and add than 19 individuals. not saying one single one, but maybe 2-3 rather than 19 (or 38 if you go and total it up...) i look at it like decals: you can only put three really on a mesh. so if you have a lot that you want on via tga, you might need to make a bigger tga. (disregarding peoples disputes with me on just putting markings on skins) in the end its a blend of getting the most detail in within limited resources. it would be no fun if it wasnt a little challenging
