testing times

im happy that everyone is happy

like any community, SF2 fans and modders has its tribes and rivalries. some are healing, while some will go one until until both parties cease to exist. that site has many issues, but it does also have some things that we just dont have here (at least until someone has the interest to make a new version). thats especially true on the WW2 fronts

yes. yes it is

allow me to expand on Muesli's reply those of us who make content for the game (models, skins, decal packs,terrains) do so as a hobby that takes up our free time. there was a Poseidon in initial works, but that modeller had to retire from modding due to health issues as for tools to work with, you can use Photoshop and 3DS Max 2009 version to create models and skins. OR... since those are are expensive you can also use GIMP for skinning and Blewnder (version 2.79) to create models i would make some simple stuff first to practice before launching into a fully functional anti submarine warfare aircraft tho

(not done in excel)

well you know how it goes you say youre thinking of doing something and you get "ooh ooh could you also...." sometimes better to make and suprise the community at large

given the current season meh, close enough

didnt used to be bad. it went up and thats all i'll say about that without sending this thread into the Arena forums i mean two pots a day aint bad right? especially when you aint home 8 hours of that day....

of course a joystick will add immersion to any flight sim series sadly, 75% of my flights are checking stuff in game (still needed now and again even with lodviewer) and for that i just use the keyboard commands. that said, if Santa dont bring me a Warthog HOTAS, im defineatly getting one outta tax returns

i thought i'd lost this skin! guess i should throw the Hawaii terrain in the mix, so TC can have his bird back

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....
