Veltro, what i think he's saying in the very beginning of this post is that Blender made objects crossover the best with little to no distortion in the process. right now i have blender on to give this a try later and Sketchup 8 for class on my system!

good to here the pilot's okay, their harder to replace than the aircraft........

I'm now taking a course on it but the school bookstore doesn't sell it and the cheapest student version i can find is $224 (minus the 30 trial of course). Now we will have access for schoolwork in the comp lab and i can get it with excess Pell grant monies in October. but that doesn't help me to work at home now. the two questions... 1. does anyon know of a LEGAL but cheaper copy out there? i'm basically looking for myself and 3 other students so a "loaner" copy is not quite what i'm looking for though the thought of any such offer would have been appreciated. 2. my teacher thinks projects may be able to be started in Gimp then transfered. Any comments from anyone who has worked with both programs? TIA for any help/advice you guys can give.....

"Hienrich, your mutti is looking for you. Evidently she does know your here!"

welllllllll alrighty then.

damnit Stary some are drinkin their morning coffee with this. need a warning withposts like that

i'm sorry correction to the above its a variation on the hill 2 theme...

so would you reccomend porn as an alternate hobby?

actually meant to ask bout this...... it shows in dropdown menu but not in the main a/c ini. anyone else with F-4 or F-14 can confirm this? or do i need to dial up the caffeine again? and as Jedimaster said, around 11 individual skins, with both mirror paterns of Heater Ferris, overall grays for both services, TPS and Blues and Vandy 4. comes up to many when you factor in the same skins for 4 makes of Phantom......

E's are now Hill 2 as well, but with loviz S. Korean markings. if you can look up Smoke Trails, book about the Phantom in service round the world this century. has some pics of F-4D's on exercise landing on a highway, holding up traffic!

well the 1st thru tonight was supposed to be free modding time before the fall semester. instead have had rotating sick wife and 3 girls, employment set back and taxi service to all sick peoples. at least i'm getting Adobe Photoshop on GI bill this month!

doh! thank you sir, 10-1130 at night is the usual time for both working and typo's!

European AF and South Vietnam. i was gonna merge Vietnam expansion pack's and NF4+'s ini's to this one and that would cover alot on those two. but still only around and additonal 150 between the two i think so still room. only thing explictly planned is upto 700 though. will release a new list on sunday so just shoot me what you add and i will adjust fire from there.

I have the student version of 3DS Max and take 3D modeling course in the spring. but i would like a mentor here to start learning. got the tools now just need the knowledge......

if your talking the reserve units i would add the ones that had a realistic likely had a shot of deploying in a war scenario. with ANG units many FIS's would be kept in CONUS to protect the homeland. yes the 5th FIS deployed to Germany for Cold Fire in '75, but realistically they would have stayed at home. dibs on 600-700 but if you wanna plug some of the reservists in no worries. i'm gonna //// add descriptions of what each 100 block is //// so folks at home know what they are looking at in the squadronlist.

#592 in the squadronlist.ini posted earlier in here. took yours and wrapped up thru 600 with active duty naval units then added mine with Phantoms. bogged down abit due to RL. aim to have at least some USAF/ANG love going thru 700 this weekend here in thread.

i actually agree FC. i had a bit to spare for the F-4 skinpack DLC. literally bought it to save myself time place the 4-digit numbers on the tail(instead of fuselage), to see the Reserve Sqn Tails and for the Ferris. IMO we have better Heater Ferris and TPS on site but i'm still playing around with the new ones. and in my case (and with my belly) the 3 bucks was prob better spent than on the cheeseburger and coke! as for the others, either the subjects don't interest me or i am happy enough with whats here. as for this community and our griping, we are just using our basic right to bit.... uh gripe. it's when folks stop with the gripes and jokes that you worry.....

did anyone else get the email from TW? the one about meeting some dutch guy, Gold something or another? you are all now free to hum the theme song.........

i was just teasing, not meant to be a personal attack. as said, at bazillions mentioned earlier in this thread austin powers came to mind.

Nice busdriver. is your tail on skin or a decal? nother mandatory screenie

TK(on the light issue): ahaahaahaa. Lasers mounted on fricken Skyhawks! DanW: ummm sir the Skyhawks are on the National registry of Historical Aircraft. we're not allowed to mount lasers on them. However, we do have a Cessna 172 available. TK: Is it evil? DanW: ill tempered.

in the TW board room......... DanW: One year ago we started to release DLC mods at cost to our customers. many of them have already been released for free at Combat Ace. However enough people are ignorant of this fact to be profitable. For files already done we charge 2.99. For the things the modders could do but haven't yet we charge 5.99. what should we charge for DLC from the files that have been locked sir? TK: (sorry bout the next thing that gets locked guys. but that thought's been running thru my head ever since readin a bazillion Skyhawks....)

keepin fingers crossed that it's recoverable bud.

thought yes. but the main gist of what im trying to knock out by thursday(when i start back in fall semester) is to loviz the tails for the dlc. i have a headstart on it from my personal project but have had to make some new like the VF-302 displayed above. for those w/o F-4S mod the stock J will have to suffice. those with S or my J_74 (w/ DECM) will see whole different skins for those birds. but with the DLC, TK took away alot of the decal.ini dance getting things placed and was nice enough to give me USNR squadron decals to play with. lets say the inital release will likely be a version 0.7 until i get my other loviz skins for J_74, N and S complete. it will also only feature those squadrons that actually flew it US Navy from 78-86.

you'll need SF2 or 2V to run it. the object cats might list it but likely wont actually read or use it. i think SF2E might have the navy birds also but its been long enough since i had it unmerged that i really dont remember. my opinion, i got Europe first, then added everything else to enhance that theater. more progress on the lo viz project.
