  1. What, you sayin SF2 is dust in the wind? i just happen to like this one
  2. well Wrench for the win on understanding what i was saying and confirming some experiment results. Blade, the lst is too easy to fix. renumbering the individual tgas are a little more time consuming tho i have a method down. Sundowner, doing something very similar overall. E model get user nums 00-12 in '82, then user nums 13-24 in '83. however A models lose the same nums in each year. would just take em off the front end in the textureset, except Arkansas gums the works up being a user for only two years. So THEY got first two slots, to only be called out during the appropriate years. everyone else adds on (in the E model anyhow) over the years. Its gonna be huge due to representing around 40 units at two planes apiece. I was trying to make it not as huge. Oh well, one could have hoped. Thanks for the replies all!
  3. probably know the answer but its a definite no if not asked... is it possible to reverse the order of serial number decals? as in going 33-00 rather than 00-33? asking as a project will cover both the E models from introduction and A models as they were retired. using same serials (rebuilds) to save space and time, it would save even more if i didnt have to duplicate the folder and manually reverse it. thanks in advance for any help
  4. Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration don't fail us now The new Oldsmobiles are in early this year
  5. shoot that thing needs a complete make over. nice tga, but the skin looks like its sat in the desert for a few years mandatory screenie
  6. Sunday morning on the flight line
  7. as the above post says. Download section claims there is nothing there yet
  8. posting to bugs for Erik, it is indeed not showing
  9. cool! I didnt think the colors would correspond that close to Federal Standard colors. this site should help in converting from FS to hex or RGB http://encycolorpedia.com/
  10. some how i dont think the Islamic Republic is either giving that info to the aviation mags nor using the exact same paint specs as the US made in the 70s. not the values themselves, but when a color isnt clearly defined (as it is on a US mil camo) i use the color picker tool in Gimp. from there you could draw the rgb or hex values, or use the scaler to get it where you want
  11. https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/family-release-regarding-the-passing-of-apollo-skylab-astronaut-alan-bean Fourth on the moon, Naval test pilot and part of the Skylab program. Also an artist after leaving NASA with many paintings of lunar scenes
  12. well, that should be sufficient if the Kuznetsov passes through the Baltic. rather suprised the bear hasnt figured out to play with the valve control gas flow to Europe rather than play with the sabre tho
  13. oh and the screenie is the tanker from here, with my new skin/decal set. only the basket is YAP
  14. soooo i've gotten to see how YAP adds in the drogue adapter for the KC-135. comments on the models aside, its an ok solution having it where the adapter is below and behind until the boom lowers and then looks connected. That said, i am hoping someone has or could whip up a new model in house real quick. as you can see, its placed out for the A model Stratotanker, and will send the revised data ini and weapon i created from the yap version for comparison. all thats needed is a new model so it look more like this final bit for your amusement, the SpecificStationCode has been named Eddie.
  15. as answered on Quora: Yes. Due to airframe and pilot availability, there is now a 2 week waiting list to be bombed. Please be patient, continue to do the atrocious things that have earned you the benefit of the most vigorous air campaign delivery service in history, and we will be with you in the order you popped up in the news cycle. Gold star members in the nuclear club will continue to recieve priority service with delivery in 30 minutes or less.
  16. Clearing out some of my real book collection as my digital collection is larger (yet more compact) and gettin used far more these days. gonna eBay these in June, but figured I would give you all a crack at them first. titles are fairly self explanitory, PM for details on any given book (or the whole lot. exact prices in PM, but average is $10 and the most expensive will be Grey Ghosts at $30. You pay shipping, will work that out also in PM. If pic is up its still available
  17. check the skins in the folder (are they jpg, bmp, dont exist). what you find will help determine the answer but short version is the game doesnt think it has anything to put on the model and the thread pops up to the top with a new posting, so yes necro threads walk the streets if you make them do so
  18. difference of opinion. we cannot use his stuff here, yet he uses much there from here without asking (talk to Wrench on that issue as a main one to come to mind) in my case, first time was an error on my part, of downloading all of Wings over Africa in one night. i was on my laptop while my wife was dozing in a hospital bed at teh time. i took a banning, went back and asked nicely, never allowed back. now second time was me being prickish and getting in just to get back in (yeah, notice the volume 2 in my signature). but many in the community have a bad taste in the mouth over him using terrains and pits without permission or credit not to mention the flight models being rather wonky. he has his own rules, and it is his own site to do so with. many of us have our own opinions of that esp depending on our interactions
  19. PFunk, curious have you considered doing an Eagle Claw campaign based off the Darius terrains and info? brings it back into the realm of game comfort zone, could be alt history'd into a wider campaign and one of our own was on Gonzo station in '80 (a post o his on FB is what made me think of this). would just have to get rid of most of hte Soviet hardware plus the sides are fairly matched, if one "lets the infidel trained pilots and ground crews" out of jail to repulse the Americans.
  20. there is one at DAT (capuns site). good luck getting it
  21. Happy Mathers Day and dont forget to get some fluers on your way out
  22. have you ever thought of publishing a book? even at one page per type, you'd have a hell of a coffee table book for the alt history, aviation and Strike Fighters crowd. of course that begs the question: do they still make coffee table books? or even coffee tables?
  23. not knowing that specific answer, but using basic problem solving are you adding alot to it without taking out? try comparing it to other mega campaigns like NF5, see how many it has vs Darius for the viewers at home, what are your graphics settings typically when this happens? is the activity close to the ground or at altitude (thinking along the lines of the slowdowns in SF2NA's Iceland)? sorry, more questions when you want answers but hopefully it gets ya closer to an answer
