aiiiiiigh!!!!!!!! its the revenge of the Mayans! we must sacrifice the next noob who does not consult the KB before asking a question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously though, same bug. straight undefined on the button to upload a screenie.

thanks for the advice on both

trial and error my friend. if there is a decal in a nearby area, or a light(found in the data ini of the aircraft its self) then it helps. otherwise punch in a value, save, fire up the game and take a look. the name of the decal.ini dance unfortuneatly is " agian and again and AGAIN!!!!". dont forget about the scale (ie: size) of your decal also when placing. it does help in tight spots

dont look like it. checked out Marcfighters, i thought that i saw one there some time ago. they have the desert wraparound but not the Euro 1. IIRC, there was only one done up in Euro 1 at Hill AFB any how so all markings could be done on skin if so desired, or a really small simple decal pack for it. it just gettin up the interest in somebody to get the skin itself done.....

too late fer Christmas, but still makin some new clothes for Dels Herks

me thinks a Navy/Marine aggressor squadron CAG bird. kinda like the Red Eagles but naval.............. not fer all the birds mind you but with a double or triple nuts modex

ok ok mssg recieved. just did last backup of the year. Merry Christmas everyone!

seen it, looks interesting. tho prob more of a wait for DVD myself interest..........

how to explain line of sight to an idiot...................................

B Photo Phantoms will come from me sooner than C skins. got a big navy project i'm chipping away at along with other things and only 2 1/2 weeks of break fer college. big obstacle on the B is i want to do an upgrade for Project SURE, but slotted stabs are a part of that, and trying to find out if they were upgraded to J-79-10B engines. have a few pics with but many also from that era without. only thing i can add right now is a DECM via fakepilot. as to the code at column5's my mistake was in remembering which it was. remembered it started with a Z, just thought i saw a second Z not a R. sorry bout that.

depending on your timeline, i eventually plan to add decal based skins for the RF. that is the unit represented by decal rather than painted directly on the skin. however that is more three weeks away rather than two. and just remembered, the screenie at column5's old site has a Kadena bird for the Euro1 skin.

using a Kadena based bird or one of the stateside units?

no known projects out there. i think moost have it from the major mods.

the skids part would be a neat trick. maybe maingear two or center, with no visible model?

Spinners has a decal set for th Dhimari AF also. Dhimar, being fictional, is kinda easy to work with. i want to make up a batch of skins myself. but thats more to the end of spring for me if not later.

Euro 1 Hercs re-visited tho i didnt have Iceland when i started this. or actual Photoshop to get the colors matching! just need to do the decal ini dance now.......

also kinda depends on a when you are looking at. would be very valuable for a WW2 era terrain. post war til the late 60's i dont think as much as the bulk of the fighting would be on the seas and in Germany. but getting into the 70's 80's, more attacks would come down on the allies given their usefulness as staging points back from the FEBA. look at the part in RSR where they say "NATO plans didnt account for the elimination of the Royal Norwegian AF in one week." (ok actually they did in RL, that was the tasking for the CF-5s, to head to Norway if needed but i digress). still would be nice to have a terrain that bases 48th and 20th TFWs out of England rather than forward deployed (not as likely esp in the F-101 era and F-111F). but then again i've really been wanting a post war Europe with bombed out cities. perfect for a Hot Vittles 48 campaign!

well does fit the bill for what i'm doing sorta. makin a new buno set for naval Phantoms as well as multiple modex sets (shadow! grey! red! yellow! Yahtzee!!) with semi historical accuraccy. that is i'm using serials where no one died, they lasted til the early to mid 80's and got converted to N or S so i can recycle the nums!!!!!!!

thanks for the assist Erik. still no name but actually downloaded a USN Stencil ttf that does the trick. time to play in excel.............

you want random? i'll give you random. had this sprung on me in kuwait earlier this year. sadly its not the worst one.......

The immediate request is what font can i use in Word for USN Buno's, both the 4 digit that were on Phantoms and the whole serial num. im using Flogger23's trick to knock out my BuNo's and modex's while i still have my free trial of CS 6. however i was looking this up in the threads and would like to ask for any other fonts you guys can think of. if there are enough useful reponses maybe this could go in the KB for future reference. TIA for your responses.

certain amounts of battle damage will count you as dead. been badly wounded in an A-10 once, chased by Migs. did a pitch up ala TOPGUN and gunned the closest guys enroute. finally made it to the nearest blue airfield and set down just to hear taps playing when i was done..............

ah ok Val. but i still suspect Spinners to be using DLCs. looking good the both of you tho

are we having fun with the DLC skins again?

sure was when i made the switch! Ship hunting, SAC style. this screenshot and all 18 SRAMs fired at the Kirov are dedicated to Dave.
