you sir......................... have just set that back another two weeks due to needing to deep clean dr pepper out of my laptop!

one you overlooked for Vietnam.... F-14s covering the evacuation of Saigon. real life deal buddy, VF-1 and 2 off the Enterprise April 75.

huh ok. finding more -135A pics from before Shamu with the tail markings. so theres a probable step off point. thanks STORM

i dont fly isreal much (got it for the Mustangs and Meteors to use in Europe i'm afraid) but isn't lebanon in there too? 1983......... and does that mean i shouldn't send you my SLUF skins to check out before release? kids pay attention to school when in class not CA. sorry i missed the part about French Navy and USN in Lebanon...

been there. got some stuff, but specific to the Shamu skins is abit harder to find. not gonna go full throttle on it like my Phantoms, Thuds and SLUFs, but still wanted a good variety esp amongst teh ANG squadrons. most good pics are either from vietnam where its mostly the SAC badge or after they went all grey

or anyone else that can assist. am working on Shamu skins for the KC-135 and KC-10s. gonna put unit markings on with the serials so there is a variety of units on the ramp, just like you would see most anywhere but home bases. but good images of tails from that era are proving hard to find on google and airliners.net. do you guys have or know of any good reference materials so i could go foreward with this? looking for around 6-8 active units, 3-4 reserve and as many ANG as can be found. was thinking this would be good for ODS or any other 80s thru early 90s scenarios we have, at least for the eye candy factor. TIA for any help you all can give

good luck!

both instances are zaps by the squadrons the other plane visited. the colonial navy is when the RN worked up on the Saratoga while Ark Royal was refitting. the USMC one was a return of the favor i believe.

count yer calendar macelena..... the Marines made that deployment in early 1973. BEE LINE was just getting made at that time and not quite operational yet. there for it was a F-4B. that my friend, is how you tally aircraft fasteners..........

tho not exactly a what if...... could help but think of ya when i saw this

awesome! and keeps in my belief that the Dhimaris would go simpler AF that they can maintain internally.....

i dont care much for the buy your own gear in games. reals mercs would be paid salaries, plus in the case of a wealthy country like Dhimar be outfitted with the planes and munitions. Barrett Tillmans book Warriors is a much better example of how the Dhimaris should have gone rather than how it goes in game IMHO

i say keep going for it. you're like the old commercials... you make things better!

Commandos de Recherche et d'Action en Profondeur? didn't know the Legion had Badgers........

Anyone else notice how he kept knocking F-35s down? Only way to deal with an overgrown mutant raptor is a Raptor. Then hit him with all the Hogs in the inventory. Nothing can withstand that much 30mm at once....

this year is not starting very well. my old landlord sold the house out from under us, and it went nasty enough that we had to move when he cut the power off (the bad part of utilities staying in his name, was good at the start of the lease because i didnt haveto shell out 600 bucks to get it turned on). went to move to raleigh and this landlord signed a lease on payment of first months rent back on the 5th. he took the lease to "make copies" , then said he would not give us the lease until we paid the deposit. when we paid that and got hte lease back, he had cut the signatur portion off, and pencilled in a whole bunch of changes! i am currently trying to et a hold of the rental division of hte AG's office to look over both the lease, and the landlord himself. one thing that sticks in my mind from the conversation friday night is him saying "oh i've never had to evict anyone, they all just seem to leave." please pray for my family while we try to figure out just where we will be living.

I have the habit, developed from from when i had my old Compaq w/o much HD space, of doing abunch of decals rather than the skins. Save space tho it is alot of small files to look thru. It also allows for changes over the years, esp. With USN units. While i was teasing, look at my approach to skins. When i do it, itry to include EVERYONE that flew that bird. So yes i will likely do it, but given real life constraints that wont happen for at least a year. PLUS i am talking stock skins anyhow, where i gather you are not.

it will be. was hoping to release soon. just got bumped to third in line rather than first in line for release. will finish stock F-4B and J serials and ANG SLUFs first now....

will your Hogs be covering the ANG squadrons Dave? twas a much in the future project, but will back off if your going for it. unless you put the markings on the skin. then i'm totally slapping stickers all over that shit. cause thats how i do things.....

Oh thats not the issue. Its just editing 100+ inis and renaming the same amount of pics. Oh well, another two weeks....

ugh was afraid of that. was trying to keep the stock ish names so patching wouldnt affect it. So you realize how many ini edits and renames that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

for those interested i am working up a DB on US Air National Guard sqns from 1947 through 2000 ish. special interest for who was deployable during the Cold War years, which bout covers the span of the stock game. only through Michigan right now and there are still many holes in the info (specific model of F-84 for example) anyone interested in a sneak peek before i compile it all and release as MS Word reports in the future? as the title would indicate, need Access for access....(drum roll, cheesy grin)

soooo... i went and collected pics of all the stock birds to make a loading screen mod for the stock game. went to load it up last night and nothing. pics are in JPEG format, and i tried running both A-4B_Loading.JPG and A-4B_Loading.JPEG. but its a no show, just that F-4 with the George AFB codes. am currently running May 2013 patch. any ideas? non stock birds do just fine with loading screens in bitmap and jpg formats sooo i'm slightly baffled. also knocked out the jpeg screens for my USAF skinpack so i suspect TKs hand in there somewhere. TIA for any help

in the CONEX, the way you have to get them home anyhow... how will i make money without my meth lab in the B's? that will cut into my profits having to rent a house in Bonnie Dune.....
