now now, dont judge him for only 4 terrains. my vietnam install only has two, north and south vietnam the shortest of my 15 installs you do at least have a dozen installs, right malibu?

the end year there affects aircraft iirc and stock terrains that dont normally have inis in the public you do need to adjust the terrains for each install as well, or they can shoot past your main limit

everyone else is saying "play stock first" and Erik is over here like

depends what do you like? with over 5000 mods for SF2 alone (and probably around 1000 for SF1 that never got converted) you'll need to specify what youre looking for

a million profuse apologies to angelP, if they would just bring back what we were working on a few years back i think i might have QA'd/nitpicked the model abit much at the time. both angelP disappeared for a couple years, and they havent talked to me since. despite your rant about it being useless, you know you'd jump all over a U-2R if we got one in house

yes, but probably not the way you want. it would need to be a totally "new" aircraft, say F-104G(recon) rather than F-104G . (yakarov, i know you've probably got Zipper models with different camera versions. this is just a hypothetical example) you'd then have to set a camera up in the data.ini, hard set the pylon so it only and always carries that pod, and play in teh cockpit ini as well for display if you mean "swap pods on regular aircraft so sometimes it carries a recce pod" then nope.

first off, did you load those other maps into the same install/mod folder as your Desert Storm one? it most certainly sounds like it reading your post the Desert Storm mod is meant to be a stand alone install. nothing but its contents in that mod folder fortuneatly it is very easy to make new installs for just about any purpose. try another plain vanilla install, and one with all the terrains you have EXCEPT desert storm. then see how it goes

hey hope it works out that way.

the original YAP having to do with Vietnam sorry, if they flounder looking for a Blackbird in Rising Sun, then they deserve the difficulty they brought on themselves

good call, i honestly forgot they had one (even though i scrubbed through its skins heavily when the RW team was spinning up) for ghanad, go here https://www.yap-revamp-works.com/

life after the Nam

can you use 3d modeling software like maya or more particularly Blender? that would create teh 3d model, the lod that you are missing. if you cannot do that, you are light years away from starting a Blackbird. on your own. you may as well wish for a Fabrege Egg (presuming youre not a billionaire) or ask for help building a bicycle the other site is .... complicated. this site will be kind of cranky and use teh "learn to make it" line alot because we get a crap ton of "can somebody make" requests. as if this were a free store and not a community that shares with each other the things we find interesting (big difference actually) where i went off on someone asking for more modern stuff yesterday, im not mad at you today. you are trying to get something established, but caught in the complexity of that system. best bet, move on from the SR-71 for now. look through the Knowledge Base for lessons on how to mod. learn at least GIMP or Photoshop (skins and decals), if not Blender 2.79 last tip on the culture here; make an effort, try to do it yourself and we'll be happy to help. simply ask for stuff (or just look like it) and we get pretty pissy quick. i dont think youre in the second group, so good luck on getting to your Blackbird. meanwhile look around, see what else there is to offer, and give a part a try you think you can do.

i think so to, but i've just been too busy to announce it. but you dear rookie, you clearly have teh time to put the bell on this cat. on behalf of all that have to mix their real lives with modding time and topics of interest, i salute you.

sorry, i did in fact forget that

or know a guy who knows a dude that found stuff that fell off the truck

are you trying to change the appearance of the prop while parked or in flight? when parked teh prop is a part of the skin. however, when that fan starts spinning it is "skinned" by a seperate tga. you want to control what it looks like in flight, you need to adjust teh tga, not the model and the prop tga shows up along with the skin on model the tga is the circley part

seriously tho just registering dont get you access. you then gotta go in forums and request to access. then when granted in 24 to 2400 hours, not break the rules on downloading

took a quick look through. DAT and CA are the only ones still active and updated at least bi weekly even GKABS site hasnt updated in a year. several others havent updated in years. YAP isnt even YAP anymore. its now Zuma78, in a language that i dont know

the sites doing better but aint got the budget for that best can do is

and that hates you. nothing personal. just note how many folks here have tags with "achievement unlocked, banned by Capun"

agreed, although taking quasi steps into the job market im learning employers want folks that know it. even if the employers dont really understand what it is im willing to give it a shot (with a 10 lb block of salt) given im getting old enough to wonder if i got time for all the projects i want to do also agreed, although being back in school im getting many definitions of what AI is. everything from Skynet down to spell checker in Word. but probably 99% of what everyday people interact with is actually just really in depth databases. the AI's that are breaking out of their firewalls, hacking into stuff on their own, and suggest nukes 98% of the time are not in our subscription level

good luck. it will run with a mix of 1. whats available online, and 2. what common other "successful" searches have rendered. it wont include any text that was never scanned somehow into the internets. it will judge what thousands to millions of others thought was a good answer as part of what it feeds back. look at the knowledge, genuine curiousity, and willingness to accept what the AI overlord tells them in a search of the average person. now realize that will skew the results that you get no matter how specific you are inputting what you want i gave it a go this summer hunting down A-37B airframes. i believe that it produced 4 (out of 577) results that i may not have firmly placed. meanwhile i still have about 20 that i have no clue on, and 50 that i only have one service location for in a 20 year career. so 503 vs 4 on where they were from 1972-1992. did it speed up my search? not this time, but i was trying something new and the slow down that comes with learning and adapting. i only say i would have ran faster without because i have years practice hunting without AI

very interesting when i was playing around majorly with the squadronlist, i found out that it will go to at least 2999 without issue. that was with a crapton of empty slots, and my intention at the time was to have blocks dedicated to various branches (ie 1400-1499 USAF Reserve squadrons) so you have quite alot of room to play with therte
