  1. scratch the fakepilot removal, just caught that thread has anyone talked to spillone104 lately? he shared a fake pilot several years ago, that would be useful with the hould dog pylons removed
  2. no worries, can always make new ones myself. not trying to do too much, just the Pacer Plank birds (80 that had wings rebuilt and given GBU-15 capability) from about '76 through retirement in 82-83. the current skins are actually decent for a base, but the paint jobs got fixed up and shinier after the depot work, and they all actually got SAC and wing badges back. i wont say that starting them is.... enjoyable. but once you got things dialed in, it makes it easy to make what ever your hearts desire is. that part is fun, but take alot of time and cussing to get there @Wrench didnt i see a thread a week or soo back about removing parts from pilots? would be really useful for a fakepilot object i got right now
  3. yeah im waiting for the Other Kevin to reply before getting really worried worst case scenario, i make some my own self. as one does when they can work PS or GIMP.....
  4. am i missing something? i cant find them in the template section of Gen 1 or 2
  5. you gonna make Buckingham Fountain a functioning piece? meanwhile, working my way back up
  6. there always model instructions. especially for a well established aircraft like the Phantom
  7. nah but I got teh desk from air force DRMO so that comes with a cup holder
  8. not gonna tell you all when i come into a chunk of money, but there'll be signs still being set up (physically and digitally). and xidax suprisingly messed up a couple things it seems, but overall im still quite happy with this puppy so far..... tomorrow i get to repopulate a half dozen SF2 installs (at ODS30AE or bigger size...) as well as figure out whats coming back from Steam i mean i dont need steam edition DCS install, never actually got to into Kerbal. but Civilization is the freakin addictive a$$ Devil. momma and i both say that...
  9. shoot for the moon or new beginnings. i dunno you pick
  10. what he said. monitor like you got, you should be at least hittin 1920x1080 resolution course you only got one. did you know that local stores dont usually carry 12ft long Displayport cables?
  11. those adapters are pretty cool shouldnt need saying, but transfer your stuff in bits and pieces, not one whole mass. that way when something screws up, its just that one batch instead of 20 years worth of stuff...
  12. how the f..... it should all be in saved games like usual. but its been 5 years since i last set one up from scratch, and the memory aint any better than you at 20 so did you look for eye relief features? the three white frame screens in my FB post have a few things that are supposed to help the eyes out. low blue light, low flicker, and "eye ergo tech". the little one on top is a legacy monitor that i've had for 9 years off course, not using the screen primarily for pron also helps the eyes for all others, hopefully tOK will have a new rig show off end of week (knock on wood FedEx dont funk it up)
  13. i recall even smaller buildings standing perfectly fine after losing a whole side in Kosovo. no heat, no water, apartment was like a doll house, but they were watching Sky News as we drove by! so unless you hit something load bearing, a skyscraper will likely stay standing after a hit (although with more holes and fire damage than before)
  14. damn. that top shot almost looks like its out of a comic book meanwhile, somewhere over the oceans
  15. downtown as far as i've ever known it to be. works for practically every city in the US, where ever the main cluster of tall buildings is, thats usually downtown
  16. 15 May 1975: Jolly Green 44 approaches USS Holt off of Koh Tang Island while extracting Marines after the recovery of the SS Mayaguez. Jolly Green 44, a HH-53, was able to expedite the withdrawal of Marines on the beach by offloading on Holt, with only the nose wheel touching down the landing pad. All in complete darkness. To go all the way to the carrier Coral Sea would have taken 30 minutes and the Marines remaining on the beach were in danger of being overrun. Once the 34 Marines on this trip were onboard Holt, Jolly Green 44 was on the beach for another pick up in 5 minutes 38 US service members were lost during what became known as the Mayaguez Incident, also generally considered the final US battle of the Vietnam War
  17. got a convoy got a SCUD awwww crap, got a war crime
  18. have you googled the serial numbers? also while youre discussing F-105, is it possibly from a F-84 instead? finally, a little more detail on where found, when etc would help edit: damn slow site, RC beat me to commenting, and id go with his assessment
  19. May 10th 1972: first flight of the Fairchild Republic YA-10A Thunderbolt II. the YA-10A would go on to better fame during Desert Storm, when it was better known as ... the Warthog
  20. strategically this is true but who has the money to practice this? im not even going the "US is so great" route with that. its expensive to maintain 3 carriers let alone 11
  21. slightly more serious but still funny... a few of the bootleg DVDs i bougth in Iraq actually had a "tour the factory" bit in the extras. and yes, it did show smiling workers opening legit DVDs and loading them in one machine, hooked up to 20 others with presumable blanks. was somewhere in the Philippines; not surprising as the Philippinoes working on Balad AB were the best source for bootleg anything without leaving the wire
