Exactly. There's some people who just sit and complain, and want this, and want that. In some ways I'm like that too, and skinners look at me when I request a skin from people. It's like "Can't I ask every now and then?" for something? But yeah man, there's a distinction when you do, and not do in gaming.

well, there is a difference in those of us who have done and ask, and those who just ask for something to be made. i've been blessed with some new models to play with over the years, generally starting with me asking if there was a improvement on some older model floating out there

hello, dont know the answer off top of my head

but i would suggest getting one of the mega mods like ODS30AE or NATO Fighters 5 and look at those folders. in the mmulti part ones like NF5, all but terrains and aircraft are usually in the first part of the series

most of the major campaign mods feature the changes it seems you want to make.  good luck

true, but not as bad these days as complaining about download restrictions.

folks dont realize it could have been much, much worse

The only thing you need to worry about is Wrench, he's old and ornery on the forums. Other than that he's a pretty good guy though.

Mean Kevin may bite your head off, but in 90% of cases it will be deserved

try to search the answer to your questions (theres a vast knowledge base on SF2 modding and the Wings over series before that), and dont complain about download restrictions (theres a long story behind it, and its not about hiding mods behind a paywall) and you'll be good.

so says Nice Kevin 

in a previous life...

Buzzards over Dhimar...

ohare had tankers stationed out of it for many years, going back to KC-97 days iirc

plus you have alot of cargo running through there 

tactical birds in the Chicago area would more typically go to NAS Glenview until the mid 90s tho. especially when doing displays for the annual Air and Water show,  they'd park at Glenview before doing the flight display over the lake. dont know how that goes since Glenview shut down

damn, typing this make me realize i went to the last airshow at Glenview before it closed

off topic, whats up with the name change?

chasing shadows

cmon now

you know that 75% of us would prefer to have more options/variety

the rest are the ones too busy crying "free, free, free" to notice theres a difference

what mod allows you to see in flight missiles on the map screen? would love to know as that would be a big QoL addition for my gameplay experience.

iirc, cruise missiles can be seen ever since stock SF2NA. they are targetable by fighters, thats why they can be seen.

yeah, Harpoon is pushing it. but the original feature covered the huge fighter jet sized cruise missiles that Bears and Badgers would have lobbed at CVBGs

First picture is the artificial horizon. Works similar to western articial horizons.

thats interestng 

my wife likes watching air disaster videos (ticked about my hobby? ). i recall one of them about a Tu-154 crash stating something about Russian artificial horizons being opposite from western ones and this being a cause of the crash (french pilot iirc, got confused by instruments). also swear i recall reading that as being a reason for difficulty in converting Ukrainian pilots over, again difference in instruments

but maybe i heard/remembered wrong

Thank You , you have no idea how long i have to search to get the pictures , manuals or drawings i need 

making the 3d part is not that difficult or time consuming the research is

preach brother.

even for the other parts of a mod

simply meet with the High Table at midnight and remove your right ring finger as fealty.

oh wait, this aint DAT.  you'll be ok.............

But this is an air force content exchange platform, not a naval-themed one, isn't it?

What Eric said. but in the videos ive seen, theres plenty of air action as well. kind of like a mix of Harpoon (yup just told on myself) and DCS cinematics
