that is likely the group your looking for. however i'm aiming to have a longer lead time to allow for real life things and other projects, so if youre looking for a new release please be patient. if your looking for a way to get in the modding action, welcome! what would your interest and talent be?

@Menrva i cant see why they wouldnt be more readily available now that that is a part of Iraq's history rather than a state secret @angelp if you could get those up, that would be awesome not just for ODS but overall. onlything missing from a MAW right iirc IS the Seaknight and UH-1N, and as a retired soldier i wouldn't have any problem seeing Blackhawk freely available in game. if the mapping is still fairly the same the Twin Huey i still have the 3 tone skin from a while back. only question with those H-60s shown is do you have an Army model (tail wheel near the very back) as well? Naval would be good too, but as i mentioned, US Army (Ret) @guuruu that would be great, though admittedly as a yank i had to think for a moment to realise a Tonka was a Tornado!

he's alive and talking, was the first one i talked to about this project in pm. he's given the blessing to workin on an update, but assistance will probably be limited to advice about the original. he has done A LOT with user made campaigns, but without details (cuase they werent in the conversation) i think he's not looking to do the workload to update things once again (my conjecture, not his words) and yes i was hoping we could use your terrain, although i personally dont know how much work we'll need to do to update the campaign itself to reflect the new reality on teh ground (pun intended). thank you for volunteering!

View File KC-135 Skin Pack 1: Operation Desert Storm This skinpack adds in historical aircraft as used in Desert Storm for the A, E and R models KC-135. It is as close as possible with unit markings and features several nose arts. Included Skins and decals for KC-135A/E/R models Cockpit and ini edits to make player flyable Required you will need the original KC-135 pack available here Installation download and install the above mod per its instructions unzip this mod, then install new mod folder categories to your mod folder (Aircraft to aircraft etc) allow overwrites fire up game, take off and go pass gas KNOWN ISSUES This was originally an AI only aircraft. I added Dels C-130 pit so that it was flyable and I could check my work. That said, it is best to not fly from the cockpit as the Hercules' window frames don't match with the Stratotanker's windows. UNIQUE FEATURES As with most of my large aircraft mods, the skins are tga based. this means if you look for a Baby Shamu skin, you will only see a plain grey skin. When you fire it up in game, you will see a mix of ADC Grey and Baby Shamu. AT THE START OF EACH SERIAL NUMBER IN THE DROP DOWN IS A LETTER, (a) FOR ADC Grey WITH FULL COLOR AND (s) FOR THE CAMO'D Baby Shamu SCHEME WITH SUBDUED MARKINGS Credits BPAO- original model Dave- head of/released original project dels- C-130 cockpit, used to make each aircraft player flyable daddyairplanes- research, 90% tgas, ini work, touch up skin work yakarov79- skin templates, some tgas (saved me a chunk of time photographing from a book so again thank you!)

Hello folks. Its been 2 years since the ODS campaign mod has been updated, and 9 years since the original Gen1 version release. There are many things that can be fixed within those releases (some may have noticed a theme in my recent skin pack releases). the question is, who out there is interested in working on updating this campaign? not looking for "thats a great idea", looking for folks that would like to improve on the mod as it currently stands and able to give some form of participation i very much understand about real life commitments and other projects. if we can get some folks willing to work on this, i propose a release of 16 Jan 2019. yes that's next year, but allows plenty of time to work on this and it seems an appropriate date for the theme because of newer aircraft, we would need some support from the experienced campaign gurus. not necessarily active work, but advising if an up and coming campaign builder volunteers to work on this finally most of the work anticipated is adding already complete objects to the campaign (and possibly removing some historically inaccurate items) and campaign edits to make it work. hopefully this will be an opportunity for some new talents in the community to work with the older heads. but before we even get to the scope of the project, gotta ask: who's in?

first, mue HUGE thanks for your efforts. you sir may be one of the most important modders of the community with not a plane nor campaign release! that said, a note to everyone reading: it will be very helpful if the knowledgeable people can create a tutorial for making a 3d object once the kinks are worked out. doesnt have to be a plane, say make a box with lid. that way, animations (if mue gets them to work), adding materials and all other related materials are covered. yes i know it could be a big request It will NOT end the endless "how do i" questions. it WILL provide a learning tool for those that do diligent research and be an end point for the how do i threads (yes i know i've been pointed tot hte KB many times myself over the years) i look forward to seeing the final polished product, and really hope i can contribute whole aircraft rather than skinsets for already done birds. but i personally want to put out a decent product, and admit i would need pointers on what the 3d guys have practice for years just a couple pennies on the matter

well, 5 years since last patch i think the binary file warning would be null and void. of course watch the community get something going then he releases a new patch! this folks, highlights why i've not subscribed to the "this series is dead" line of thought. we all keep talking like this and it could shape up to be an interesting year in CA land

StrikeFighters GO! ?!?!?!? mue, cant wait to see what it is

dont remember seeing you in a bit dmtdragon, and was just wondering how you would handle this https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/100757521/lift-off-new-zealands-rocket-lab-launches-first-rocket-into-orbit-from-mhia-peninsula with your trademark backstories! mandatory screenie

indeed, it would breathe alot of new life in esp if it's not a version of Max (student subscriptions dont last forever)

reminders of Pan Am everywhere, lets show em what else flies around the districts (and guess what movie marathon is playing in my background..)

yea not a big prob, as im converting to jpg and works just fine there. but the first few spot checks i just exported (on a budget, usin GIMP now) to the format it was. just happened to be bmp. so, you get what we had here.....

reworking the 707 skin, trying to make a bare metal skin and did a check in the lod viewer for gp... did not expect to be making teh see thru model! in fairness, Ive blanked out the El Al skin, it's bmp rather than jpeg, and the blanked area getting metal plating is all white. also revolving it shows the metal portions are coming in. it was just wierd to see it clear rather than white!

evidently, you've not met Mr Sundowner. if we aint got it and it attracts his attention, you'll be seein it soon mandatory screenie (or why should the Navy have all the fun)

pre 2002

(awaits dmtdragon's new mod with back story on Kiwi ICBM capability) just kiddin, very cool

while i highly agree, yakarov hasnt released a Whiskey Cobra (hopefully that statement can end in yet) kurdistan, that site is not a good name to mention round these parts. old (yet ongoing) story, but you wont get much help in forums for those mods

evidently white tail sales are a thing in SF2. anyone wanna buy an airliner or two?

back home, back to testing BTW, anyone out the in CA land have a CONFIRMED pic of JSTARS ops over Bosnia? gotta educated guess, but prefer pics

ok last one of the day..... enroute to Riyadh via Germany

ya know, we really need to fix ODS up abit. battleship grey Hercs and Stratotankers, and this guy was done up in white. as if going to a party in Georgia. but its our world. we'll just get a little camo on them there, and prep them to go to Riyadh. (Rhein Main too if i can find some Joint Endeavor pics)

just getting all kinds of interesting scenes as i check my work....
