  1. based on new flight hours for pilots and not solid green camo they may last 20 minutes in the Second Korean War........................
  2. having worked on several minimal skins this year i see both sides of this coin. less tiles (1 or 2) can be a nightmare for the skinner in trying to figure out where things are (see pic of Marcfighters 1 tile tanker skin as i was first working on it). but the heavies that Veltro often works on dont need as much detail as say the fighters and attack because the SIM has no real purpose for them. we SIMMERS want them because they add elements that are missing so far........... that said Veltro please go on doing what you do as you bring many lesser known or unavailable birds to the nest. more tiles per skin would be nice to work with, but we have so few modelers right now that i for one will work with what i've got. and (i believe) we will help as can, but like all other modders we work what interests us first typically then move to other projects THIS is what fewer tiles leads me to do.....
  3. to all besmirching the St Louis Slugger........ keep in mind it was initially designed as an Interceptor in an age where dogfights were dead and missiles would kill the bad guys at least 10 miles away. yeah , Vietnam shattered that myth and all fighters since (such as the Super Bug) have at least paid lip service to that lesson. but like anything else, play to your strengths and his weaknesses and a brick wall will smash anything in its way. the Phantom will transition up and down better than anything of its era (MiG17/21). weps, well thats why they double tapped Sparrow shots IRL. as for later in life(the 80s) , Phantoms were mainly used for interceptor mission in the ANG and on Midway classes that couldnt handle the Tomcat. all others used it for A2G work and any kills would have been incidental face shots on ingress or egress.

    Not too bad a movie, esp when one turns the mind off and remembers its just a movie. Read somewhere the last working Tiger tank is featured in the film. The planes and tracers are CGI'd in, but the tanks were certainly real
  5. lmao Viggen. reminds me of Kosovo back around 2000. one of the batteries (twas in Field Artillery land at the time) moved sites and decided to ford a river as the fastest way. good pics in the Stars and Stripes LTC's all happy. was working with Bn Maint that deployment and looking at the pics in the paper while getting the call in on just how many of their vehicles went NMC........................... thats how you tell the vets folks. we dont look at teh video saying how cool. we look at it judging how badly things are now effed up due to what happened in the cool video
  6. On my tablet for the night or id pull it up, but i think the manual in the readme folder has an image similar to what was on the release
  7. Well taht and the fact 5 Navy ships are restricted to port in the Phillipines due to the investigation.......

  10. i believe i have it on my HD at home. will send if no one else assists by aroun 11pm tonight. sorry, thats when i get home today......
  11. Welcome! what i did not notice in your descriptions of what you did is addition of new decals. the number list has to match up with what is in the decal folder. it wont match 5121 to 5121 exactly. rather it matches the first number in your list to the first decal in the folder and so on down the line. if you did do this from a mod excuse my nosiness. if you editted it yourself, take a look in the SF1 Knowledge base. it has a couple of tutorials on how to make and adjust your own decals
  12. i fly upto around '92, but old school mud moving. even Slammers have a hard time tracking you 300 ft AGL or lower. Great White Hope or Russian gear as set up in game? forget about it...
  13. nice work Nyghtfall. will you be going for full Scooter skin sets? (all others say it 5 times fast, for Nyghtfall a legit question) before she was famous

  16. awesome! pn all but teh comp and shots that is..
  17. first fast jet demo team with VIFFing as part of the display?
  18. also how seperate are your patches? had similar issue loading from my external when SF2E and V were patched form back in 2010 and NA was patched from 13. wound up just dl'ing everything from my TW account onto that comp to get it right but NA was the culprit because it didnt want to play with the older patched exes
  19. huh, well the top of the two and the one where i told veltro it was fixed are the exact same hold position, just different angles. havent noticed any other shadow shenanigans so i'ma leavin it be for now. thank you very much. Geary hooked me up with the templates for this and the galaxy, and getting set for the B model. now i just gotta get off me butt and finish the serials and units tgas (both tied together on that 2nd level..)
  20. its Piecemeals desert terrain Kevin, not teh pit. observe........... but thank you for coming up with a fix to a percieved problem
  21. well if you dont like nekkid airlifters, maybe some european green is more to your tastes and yes several A models went green before they got stretched. now this and FRED disappear for a minute whilst i conjure up serials and units....
  22. we have damn few 3d guys as it is. i have one request: do what you like! any help you need in skinning, decalling and research i'm sure you'll find someone here to help you out
  23. that did the trick sir. thank you i do as best as i can on my own, but to let you know reskins on your birds are the bulk of my planned projects through years end. 141A and B, Galaxy reskin in full swing, and want to apply the same treatment to the 767 (and 737 if released) as i did to the DC-10. many airlines, one skin. but again, thank you for your help
