what youre trying to do is like making toast on a stovetop, while the rest of us are just popping it in the toaster yes its possible, but much more trouble thatn its worth if you have a toaster( or Windows computer). especially for a game that hasnt had official support in 12 years and the core 3rd party people have been at it modding over those last 13 years (we've lost more modders over time than we've picked up if you want to do this, by all means. i dont want to discourage you. but do realize you probably wont get much help either

99.99% of the time it will be better to use a decal. there are occasions where on skin is better, but they are few and far between generally the issue a less experienced user may have with decals is that you not only have to be decent with Photoshop or GIMP to create the image, you have to master the decal.ini and learn the mesh names and coordinates so that the image shows up once you learn it, its pretty easy to figure out and make the ini dance for you, but you do gotta learn it.

those are available at DAT, tho theyre very old. older than the Puma I posted even (which is around 10-11 years back)

har har let just make it a little better than this

not too impressive until i point out this isnt my airbase. ran out of fuel 5 miles away fighting 8 MiG-23s . Got 6 before i ran out of gas. Wingman shot one on my then gliding a$$ then bingo'd home then went form 9000 ft to here

its that time again, Block 1s, 5s, and 10s. Santa, can I get that Block 10 B model this year for Christmas?

eeeek! i just watched Demolition Man the other day (waits to see if the screen is gonna flash, make noise and fine me for my #^(&ing language)

ah, the classic modder "fine i'll make it myself" response cant wait to see what you come up with

they dont. i keep an eye on helo releases there was a FB group that had a regular Puma, but they didnt want to share with CA, and the rotor was kinda wonky (complete stop below 330% iirc). did a few skins, but dude didnt ok it for sharing

another lost light plane....

Zulu scramble

angelp's Andrea Dora pack has a SeaCougar as part of the "Thanksgiving present" folder i dont recall anyone doing much more with it though

mainly teasin ya. but it would be nice, and even with Vipers teh Aeronautica Militare would still paint some up pretty (from the ADF years)

hey, they did like to dress their birds up for special occasions.

very nice now, where are the special paint jobs (inspired by corresponding RL Zipper special schemes)?

caught this after the other post i dont know what the current process is to get a new account. i also dont know how many new accounts are being created a month. but it does appear that some folks arent listening, and from outside observer position, it feels like alot are ignoring the rules (and creating posts like the one we're talking in). maybe we're wrong, maybe these are 1% of the new members and not 75%; you know that better than us. but i know older members are getting tired of them all the same, probably especially Flanker562 who is the one i typically see explain why they cant download

its not. my suggestion was just to weed out the hundred "why cant i download" posts we seem to get a month from said people unable to read. eyes can skim over a screen, and a person can say ok. often doesnt mean they actually took in what they read. if they have to type those words for membership tho, then they might actually realize what those words are. (bonus, no typing from them, no access to complain) i tagged Erik because its his site, and any major change winds up costing him funds or time (or both). but there's been a big uptick in that particular type of post this year, and its been irking alot of old hands round here who usually are otherwise very chill (yeah im callin you out Meusli ) i doubted it would be taken up, but i still suggested it. cause the idea wouldve been stillborn if it stayed in my head

main reason i suggest writing it out to get in rather than a check box is that honestly 99.99% of the population checks the box without actually reading the EULA making them write it out (in theory) makes them actually read the words and those words have meaning having said that, i would await the next post saying "i cant download" even after they write the terms out............ (my way of saying i dealt with soldiers for 20 years without actually saying that )

@Erik, maybe new accounts have to do a questionaire, skipping multiple choice and writing out the answer of what is required to download mods? disable copy and paste if able to might solve the problem of new members making this complaint if they have to actually write out what they need to do. like some FB groups do to screen members

when HQ thinks youre flying a hurricane hunter and not a 30 y/o airliner.... (sigh) gotta keep the schedule...

it would be wicked. but you as much as many other modders know the game limits that restrict modern 21st century warfare. not saying its impossible

just another sunny fall day at Deci

July 4th, 1989: Soviet MiG-23 experiences engine failure on takeoff in Poland. the pilot ejects, only to have the aircraft right itself and continue flying. unfortuneatly, after flying across the DDR, FRG, Holland and into Belgium, it ran out of fuel and crashed into a house killing one occupant
