well i want more cowbell!

for an update downloaded mytai01's skin pack last night, and found my answer. would seem it wants to wrap around canopy_front and _rear as well. however using his bln.tga has it working great(screenies by next monday latest) and i can now leave the skin all white nose and do a full black radome or along the top as needed for squadron/era. really liking the results even if i have to sift through 14GB of files to get to it! @ Blade- thank you! another project in the works is Barley grey FGR.2's though it is on a back burner to Atlantic Fleet Phantoms right now. have the SN placement and squadron badges done, just couldnt get the bars up on the RWR box.

seems to primarily work if youre on a air to ground mission. still not much help in a2a missions, even if your getting your butt handed to you(like the 4 Floggers youre intercepting bring 12 Fishbeds to help!) at least in my experience, i'm only patched to sept 11

well hey looks like he got the burning trash down pat!

thing i read on the isrealis (Phantom Aces of the IDFAF) was that they were more focused on mission accomplishment than kills, esp in the 73 and 82 rounds. while they still racked up many kills they used speed, countermeasures and tatics to bomb the target first, then tangle with the Migs. Since i prefer air to mud, i tend to keep this in mind. if the bandit is in front of me and i have a good tone i take a shot. otherwise i'm low and fast and with exception to maybe a Flogger they won't catchup. if AAA and SAms aren't too bad after i drop the bombs i might play in the vertical, but most of the time i take it on home.

should you be enabling his nuclear habit like that?

why would they be in the SF2E list? Netz and Baz are in SF2I, although there are mods to make the Netz into a F-16A for Europe.

thanks for d/l'ing it guys. more to come...... in two weeks.

View File F-4J_74 This is a simple mod adding DECM pods to the stock F-4J. Most of the rest of the aircraft is stock although i did add SPillone104s exhaust mods as are present on most of my Phantoms. I have more in progress as part of a larger pack but thought that you all might enjoy having this out there in the meantime. HUGE thanks to mppd for sending me his work on the DECM, without which this would not be possible! daddyairplanes aka Kevin Unruh Submitter daddyairplanes Submitted 01/16/2012 Category F-4  

hello mr. bear the old F-4SL still looks good even if i was lazy and deeidnt set up the decal folder proper lil ongoing project

ha ha ha. i said i couldnt post screenies til today my whole concept here is like i did with the USAF, represent the units thru decals, and not have as many skins. a radome decal is not really critical for Navy Phantoms but would have been very useful when i turn around and tackle the Marines birds as alot of them had starry radomes. also as you can see in the screenie only part of F-4B_5bmp is blanked, not the whole like i got when doing USAF birds. makes me curious as for the blanking the 4digit, you have given me and idea tho i havent had time to work on it yet. gotta love the decal.inii for the navy birds though lotsa room on fuselage_p, esp if you consolodate the NAVY, insignia and squadron name/markings into one tga also unrelated question, do you know the mesh name for the RWR box on the F-4M_75?

stop that or i will no longer be able to get on here at work and might hafta actually do work

wtf? bagram server says TW site is a banned site. is TK putting up screenies with pron noseart now?!?!?

take yer pick of naval Phantoms. including F-4J_74.

how about a nice game of chess?

oh i know it. would have my wife send my copy from home but she moved since i left so good luck finding it right now! i will have a litle talk with that young soldier when he gets back in about 10 days.............

sorry to call you two out specifically but you two are the most knowledgeable i know on decalling. i am working a Navy Phantom project and want to do two things with the stock F-4 skins. first, not all squadrons used the 4 digit large BuNo and i want to make a decal with a piece of the skin to cover it for those squadrons only(patch093, patch102 etc). since the 4 digit BuNo are 2 level decals can i make the patch a 3 level and cover it? question 2 and i apologize but screenies will not be avail til monday, i tried makin a radome decal(more for marine Phantoms on in the Future) with the VF-111 sharksmouth. di it on fuselage_front of the F-4J and was successful in placing it there butit blanked out the part of the skin by the canopy above the intakes. now i have seen bmp blanked before but the rescue markings are still there, only up by the canopy was blanked. 256 decal with say a 40 pixel alpha channel strip on the right of the tga. hafta check decal level again but believe it was 0. any ideas?

normally in a merged install you should be able to see all stock planes as well as all terrians. although i have discovered that if you delete a stock plane from the mod folder, you delete it from the game. the mod folder should have at least the aircraft folder with aircraft ini(example F-4B folder with contents being the F-4B.ini) if you still cant see all planes in your install try deleting the mod folder then running the game again to generate a new folder. and its ok sir. i am a current NCO and very used to explaining things to officers

cool pics! i know there are a bunch of Soviet missiles in Gunnys SF2 Weps Pack, though i think they are mainly AGM and Sams. you could possibly ginn up a patrol boat to fire ASROC if we have that here as after the Providence and Chicago fired thier missles it came under attack by a coastal patrol boat that was sunk but not before getting a warning about missles fired out and crippling the Providence. funny side story on RSR, found a copy in the mwr library here so snagged it and took it to work to read during lunch hour constitutionals dontcha know. well another soldier started reading it as well and asked if he could take it to his hooch to finish reading it and i said no prob. the guy went back on his R+R two days later and i havent seen the book in two weeks!

each exe has a seperate mods folder, although you can play all games for each seperate exe. it is useful for say having a NF4 install, a WW2 install etc. but to have each mod in each exe you will have to put it in all exe mod folders (SF2, V, E, etc). look ing the knowledge base for how to create your mod folder in Gen 2 if you dont know already. if not interested in Paran and Dhimar then simply don't fly it. however it is advised to keep original SF2 as many terrains and campaigns upcoming will require the desert files in the CAT pointer. i do not have it myself and fly primarily in Europe. i have SF2Vietnam and isreal simply for planes and ships they offer, and use my Vietnam exe for skin testing. as for all you are looking for we have over 9000 files here. i am sure you can find much of what you want and others can help if you want to start trying your hand at modding. welcome to Gen 2.

Dave, there are nice people down at the VA with verrry comfortable couches who need to talk to you.....

the fintip antennea is on the F-4B_67, although in the pics i have been seeing so far not many B models past 67 or even all N's had it. also i thought only the J and S had slotted stabs, not the N. fixing the inboard leading edge may be achievable in the data ini though, just a matter of restrcting its movement to zero i would think though i never quite dived in that deep. as for drooped ailerons, if your talking parked on ground, no havent seen it. if your tallking during landing with the flaps down, yes its there though dont know if the angles are correct.
