sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do brother...

or a reboot of an AC/DC song....

48 years ago today.... "The temperature in Saigon is 105 degrees and rising"

that would be awesome, but like everything else in parked aircraft, its the games roll of the dice. i was just happy when i got different airlines to show up myself if you can get a list of carriers that flew in the major airports, i may adjust up a couple of hte airliner skins to be more specific to your terrain. it wouldnt be immediate, but if i reuse whats there i should get you a decent spread without something crazy like Alleghany Airlines in the mix. would be two weeks, but a shorter 14 days rather than a longer fortnight

i had always meant to create a RedAirliner nation for the airlines of the "enemy" nations. should be super easy to do (copy, paste, change name and alignment) but never got around to it. dont think it can be dual nationed, and nuetral will have them not show at all iirc as for the airliners/airfields issue, are there any military airfields that have to be large? otherwise, restrict the airliners to large airfields (think most are anyway) and hav the airbases be medium.

forgottenjets.warbirdsresourcegroup.org Found this while looking up A-7Ds. But it has quite abit more including pretty much all USN, USAF, Marine and FMS Phantoms the pages are quite lengthy, as it takes each s/n and gives its unit assignment history as best it can also, like with any such site, do take things with a grain of salt and pay attention. if a given aircraft was with the 166th TFS from 81 - 88, the 112th for 89, then back with the 166th until retirement in 92, you may be able to discount that assignment in 89 (without photo evidence). but then again, no site is perfect, not even f-16.net. anyhow, just thought i'd share

Gepard, given that ive worked on alot of the available airliners (not just skinpacks but some working with the modeller from beginnng), you might need to add "Airlines" to the allowed nations for the terrain for them to show. unless you have already that is otherwise many of hte currently available airliners wont show up even if the end user has them in the install

Battle Creek over Italia, 90 desktop comes back online next month, so i might fly somewhere outside of Italy and the Balkans again. but Menrva did provide us a really photogenic terrain....

ok, gotta say it: im not that into the WW2 props the evidence? i saw Birdcage (capitalized) and immediately thought Robin Williams and Nathan Lane

i'd do what interests you, and be available to explain what you did to anyone that wants to do it themselves (and asks nicely of course)

if i recall, my skinpack for the 707 has a Aerolineas Argentina in there. for several eras possibly even only catch is that its as a decal, so you roll the dice on what you get or play with the numbers list and textureset some

surest way to get right info on the internet, post the wrong thing seriously though nice catch. and armariani, when this is done i might have to do some mix flight photo ops with ANG Vipers and Stangs.....

lookin good!

seriously tho, looking damn good. i esp like the field hospital

holding formation on an unwilling wingman is part of the challenge of the thread of course some mission briefs are harder than others damn, he might make it up here because,..... i was inverted and for those that wanted the numbers on that;

here you go bud https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/aviojet/ if your talking SF1 or 2, there are forums for your request there rather than the general zone but be prepared to wait a few years. or .... Blender (modeling software) is free GIMP (photoshop) is free pick em up. practice. fail. learn from failure. practice somemore. build your skills, none of us started off doing super great work develop a skill in the community that will allow you to work with other skinners and modders, and have them want to help you. *************************************************************************************************************************************** you may not realize it, but posts like your first one are equivilant to a decently dressed man holding a "please help sign" on a street corner. you think your case is unique but the older modders here have seen it a million times. your second one reads more like offering that man food or water, and being turned away saying he only wants cash. and before you declare how rude i am, how much time in a day do you have to stop your life, and your interests to make something for someone who will not be paying you to do it??

found while doing my own research. 166th FS Ohio ANG 1949

https://theaviationgeekclub.com/william-tell-competition-resumes-after-nineteen-years-and-will-showcase-the-air-to-air-capabilities-of-usaf-and-ang-f-22-f-35-and-f-15-eagle-units/amp/?fbclid=IwAR2PwDvVuxNVcIaiXOTPx4u0Bk5gyfDGnDYtFaHw0jG-5mbhcbJ-oJRRp0c

im gonna go out on a limb here and say they were..... dark . . . . .

its weird how folks say they cant do (or dont like to do) decals that can do skins. tga work just has a little more involvment with opacity and repetition, skin work has much more detail to it. but to me the skill sets are the same (outside of hte decal.ini dance)

templates and layers man, just like a skin ya set up your template, save it and when you got your other numbers, just plug em in.

there was a discussion on this in another thread, basically that the stock birds dont lend themselves to being ground models where as the modder created lods can be used.

tis why the research is a long and lengthy b............... amount of time @amariani, from the bits ive looked up of period photos, and looking at pics like yakarov posted, you may want to make everything a level 2 decal. theres alot more variation within units than I would have expected, esp for an aircraft that in theory was maintained in house and didnt go to depot every few years

change 23 not knowing how the stock ones are off the top of my head, i believe these are what your looking for A7TPSTemplates.7z still check with Jarek tho, if he's working with TMF then i garuntee his will be better.
