  1. take your time. the most likely fix will be to create your own skin. it takes longer than a night 99.9% of the time
  2. how deep down the rabbit hole are you going? will you make it all the way to the A-6E and its later versions? or even the cancelled A-6F?
  3. no worries, its not something readily apparent. the skin doesnt name exactly what aircraft it matches up (ie stock F-4 or Spectres A-10 etc) some first gen skins can go to the second gen. but a large majority of the ones worth it have been done, and most second gen skins are way better than the first gen anyhow (larger sized, allows more detail)
  4. ok on a 30 second cursory glance youre trying to add a 1st Generation skin to a 2nd Generation aircraft with a completely different model. youre trying to fit a size 9 round peg into a size 2 star shaped hole. i would take this oppurtunity to say this could be your start on creating skins of your own.......
  5. nothing too complex today, just some Hogs that moved in to Knob Noster from Dickie Goober.....
  6. probably about time for me to get my own WIP thread. kickin off, who can guess where these two are stationed?
  7. ^ ^ ^ "but i wanna use mine......." i know that song too
  8. Another Website Down

    anyone know what happened to http://www.sharpshooter-maj.com ? it was a very useful site for confirming serials of aircraft that deplyed to Europe on the various Coronet deployments, Crested Caps and others from the 70s through 97. It also had a wealth of unit and base galleries at the moment, i honestly cant even remember thename of main guy that ran the site; tho iirc he was also an author with a few non fiction books published anyone got any ideas?
  9. AB sim (Air Base sim)

    looking it over, your proposal is too expansive. not being rude, seriously "everything, everyone, everywhere, everywhen" is a hello of a lot to bite off for a major studio. let alone a small team or individual pick a focus. if your aim is to get rich quick, focus on the most popular think. if your aim is to do something you enjoy, and want to share, then pic your absolute favorite. that goes for air arm, period and aircraft. then start on that focus, be it say French Mirage bases of the 1970s or SAC bases in the 1980s, or F-35 bases of today. finally, do you want a flying sim or a ground activities sim? back to the focus. a maintainer sim could be interesting (fix the planes, arm them, send them on their way). a flight sim, while a dime a dozen could be good if it offers something new or interesting. combining both..... see that second sentence i wrote and yes, i would be interested to have a sim to work the ground side and watch the local traffic in the pattern. just look at half of my posts in the SF2 screenshot thread
  10. i hear the 85 model year wil be available in green.....
  11. https://www.joebaugher.com/usaf_fighters/f4_49.html 12-01 thru 12-36
  12. Over the Lake

  13. Hoosier Hog on the anniversary.....
  14. from the other side, or "#^(%ing Indiana guard...." (the b side to the Thunder Thursday post)
  15. Thunder Thursday

    sneak attack
  16. Yugo-tours...... i really wish SF2 counted manuever kills. chased his buddy into the ground. then spent 37 minutes chasing this one around
  17. requirement on this one is to have Super in the name. Super Sabre is ok, Superfortress is ok, kicking off with l'Aéronavale ... fusil cabane doubling back for a visual confirmation
  18. isnt that what i said in the very first response in this thread?
  19. add the fake pilot mod into your pilots folder without it, some part that FastCargo added on later to the model will show up as another pilot (like above) rather than whatever it was supposed to be the FakePilot should have come with the mod
  20. mix flight, 4 types, now with tanks for all again, big tanks thanks to yakaro79 for showin me a better way
  21. i mean i'd tell you to go tga route as most would know if you want, gimme a day. i dont have a template for the shark mouths i've, but i can whip up a template that has guides, highlighing where the major parts are (nose intake, radome, gunbay etc). nice thin about that method is say you have a squadron where 19 have sharkmouths, 1 has a partial, and 4 dont. shark.tga becomes your main, lets say shark013.tga is your one off, and the other 4 get 12px blanks so nothing shows. also useful in those circumstances where only a couple in the unit have one but its just my two pennies on the matter edit: response was to the start of the sharksmouth conversation. aaaand i lost power for a bit, so there were some new replies i didnt read before hitting send tga route would also help with the clipped art/new radome bit two styles of radomes (ok 3 to keep Ant happy ) the lighter one is tga overlay, darker one the base skin so defineatly go tga route, and will work up that guide system for you
