I seem to remember Parani skins for the Fantail being done by Spinners. 

hell, if young blood wants to make his own skins, let him make his own skins.

lawd nose the rest of us nitpick details and make our own stuff anyhow. rejecting the current reality and subsstituting our own 

this is homework believe or not

ODS30AE should get the full video in a bit

fun fact: when Armed Forces Network (AFN) first set up in Saudi Arabia in late 1990, Rock the Casbah was the first song they played

He'll be giving his own eulogy at the funeral......

gotcha. been awhile since i played with the AAM stations period

still, the F-15E should give a good perspective on how lay out a station that takes infrared and radar weapons

Any update? You get it fixed? not fixed? 

tap the keyboard three times if you found them but they fell on you and now youre trapped..... 

I'll step in for a secon and ask why

historically, the Phantom could carry a max of 6  Sparrows.  the four underfuslage and two under the pylons where  the Winders normally go

But they did not carry both Sparrow and Winders underwing, it was one or the other.

i dont recall if stock allows Sparrows on the inboard pylons (i doubt it) but i do recall that several folks have modded an inboard Sparrow station 

----------------------------------

as to your issue, go look atthe F-15E data ini. maybe a E_92 rahter than the base one from '89. that should have underwing stations that allow IRM and SAHM (i think that AIM-120 classes as a SAHM?). compare notes, and boost values for Sparrow as needed.

dont know what your trying to do, but you might want to have a look at this.

SQUADRONLIST.7z

fun fact about the squadronlist, you can expand it way out. this version has 2999 slots (only about 8-900 entries iirc). so long as you dont have a break in slots (898,899. , 901) you can place stuff throughout as you want. 

DON'T screw with the first 405 entries, those a re the stock game ones from TW.  i'd prefer you not mess with existing entries period (chunk of work from Homefries and myself a long time ago) but defineatly leave the first 405 alone if you dont want to break your stock game

problems like this take so much time to fix and are a pain in the a... , hope it is worth all the work 

your call really

outside of collaborations, my projects are the things i want to see in game (or actually old scale model project desires converted to digital ). i just share with the class when im done

we're already happy while youre doubtful. when youre happy with it, we'll be delighted

off to the beach...

its always about the oil.....

what he said

also, what bombers are you using?

BUFFs of course do stand off work now, but did do low level airfields strikes at the beginning of ODS

Bones also did some mass bombing (refineries and airfields in Serbia)

post 2000 and youre pretty much using PGMs period

go the other direction in time and the B-47s used LABS and the idiot loop to throw their nuke onto the target (iirc, the aircraft download features instructions on how to do that in game)

but if youre looking at WW2 style 4 4engine bombers, Stary's sight will be your best bet

aaaaand this pops in my mind

oooooh, shi-neeee 

new Marine D models would be rather cool though. 

Cold Warriors pt 1

presuming stock birds? 

if there's any modding of the a/c at all, best to pull a stock data ini and compare notes

as it was, the F-4D(78) i used to check had much funkiness going on. most corrected (still only loads 1 stock Mk82 centerline) so thank you for that (wouldnt have realized without checking things for this thread). i was a bird that i'd both added some other ANG skins into, as well as my modding for Creek Klaxxon

but it was not missing pylons with whatever i did.  the Thud was straight throughout my checks too

stock F-4D in my israel install was totally fine as well 

long way of saying check the data ini against the original

(now, if I can just figure out how to mount the dual JL100s ... be a good SEAD/CAS machine (albeit short ranged)

would be great for airbase perimeter defense

the aircraft is about 95% done the Templates onyl up to 50% , still have to add a lot more details to them including textures for some launchrails

lots of major differences from the previous edition or mainly model tweaks and 4096 skins?

meanwhile over the Gulf...

@CSomers611 your forgetting screenshot thread etiquette my man

DO add a screenie when commenting on another post

DO NOT leave the pics in quotes. you can put the cursor into the quote and delete them easy enough

mando screenie (see how thats done? )

damn, gonna have to update the one off thud skins again. went to show mine off with a euro 1/desert mix formation and realized i didnt have decals. ah well, that was like 14 years ago. i got a little better

meanwhile, back at the ranch

Angry birds over west Texas

MiG-23? hah, nothin's faster than a scared Thud on the deck fool....

mind you, there was marked improvement, but still with issues

well Ed did retire from modding, so it may have gone back downhill  

besides, 90% of the last 3 years releases have been rehashes of stuff available here, but Temu version. im frankly surprised if they dont release an ODS All Inclusive. 

in 8 parts of course. instant banishment if you DL two in the same day

well that gives me an idea......  

more from todays recce kick

You don't get 20 monkeys in a room and toss in one banana and expect that there will not be problems. I just try not be the banana, best I've figured out so far. 

true, theres even beef's in our happy lil home. we just tend to do better at keepin em to a minimum, or having admins squash them when needed

DAT's big difference is capun does it all himself it seems. makes for a harder life, and less popular choices

that said, it occurs to me: what do all the folks that were complaining about CA download limits have to say about DATs? misreading a clock was the reason for the first time i was banned...........

In a close dogfight a modern air to air missile, like R-73, AIM-9X, Phyton 4 or IRIS-T are agile enough to curve with a fighter plane, that tries to escape. So the answer, whether a missile is chasing a plane, is: when fired on the enemies tale, yes.

true, but not in the spirit of the original Quora question (ive seen it, pretty sure i made my ACME joke there too)

it was asking if theyll follow like in a movie or cartoon. to which the answer is no

and even your named missiles are less likely to succeed if the motor is burnt out and theyre coasting into target. more common for a RL engagement at distance than a Hollywood engagement where the opponents see each others faces.

not impossible, but if the pilot is aware he was fired on not a solid 100% PK either
