thank you, that did it. it was truly a brainfart moment. i was calling the destroyed model name, rather than the node name. the "(modelName)_ok" was shown in all the other examples i did find on here, several from the esteemed other Kevin (Wrench) your answer did get my eyes on it and fixed though!

trying to do the old antennae blade removal trick, but getting stuck somewhere. cant find the original thread on it, but caught a few that reference. what i have is Component[010]=Move1 ... the immediately below taht ... [Move1] ParentComponentName=Radar ------------------- i have also tried ParentComponentName=Fuselage ModelNodeName=Radar_ok DestroyedModelName=Radar DetachWhenDestroyed=TRUE HasAeroCoefficients=FALSE but damn thing still shows in game. what am i missing here?

I'm going down to Haskell Got a woman down in Abilene

daybreak over the Adriatic

well, was forgetting that folks do comment on this one without the screenies but it is also WIP, unless someone else beat me to releasing a Dyess composite Herk/Bone wing skinpack.....

you know how long it will take...... approximately 14 days mandatory screenie/ the next set coming up from Texas

last shots from a laptop. next screenies should be from my desktop (already back up and running)

i agree that they should be given a fair shot while it remains freeware. between many of the allegations against the original combined with being payware, YAP didnt have a good rep. the only thing i ever saw going for them was the availability of some models like the F-100F. looking at some of their paid skins even made me feel better about my abilities when similar products got compared. YAP-RW is doing something that i very much dig though: taking the older stuff in the archives, dusting it off and making it as close to new as possible. that they are doing it with content that was previously off limits to many is cooler still. the only turn off for me still is that im not that into Vietnam era topics! but "Ralph" has been doing good with whats there (and i do need to ask him for his C-17s in the near future)

gotcha didnt read as far up as i should have i guess. advice stands for you and the viewers at home for the future tho...

you could always FB message or email that unit PAO i do it often with my projects. of course its 50/50 that they reply, then 50/50 that they have anything useful. but some bit about unasked questions and all that i usually also point out that i make freeware flight sim mods and thats why im researching them. i like to think it gets a better response than if they thought i was makin a buck on it. and definatley better than cold contact for info with no reason behind it

(later as other Kevin attempts to access the old SF1 archives from the zip discs......)

update: im quite sure they arent DAT birds, since i was searching their site this weekend for them are they flyable, or just statics? i had a sudden urge to do a "Happy Hooligans" C-21 skin.....

amariani, are we setting up SF2: Racing? mandatory screenie or 1LT Zoolander beats up a Malaysian airfield

as i recall, thanks to one of his sons the resemblence was intentional

meanwhile for the rest of us....

if the lods had R4 in the lod name, they probably are DAT if not, i'd just say "not for release outside of the terrain, creator unkonown contact if you created it and credit will be given" legalese its true. but one has to cover ones tail these days

sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do brother...

or a reboot of an AC/DC song....

48 years ago today.... "The temperature in Saigon is 105 degrees and rising"

that would be awesome, but like everything else in parked aircraft, its the games roll of the dice. i was just happy when i got different airlines to show up myself if you can get a list of carriers that flew in the major airports, i may adjust up a couple of hte airliner skins to be more specific to your terrain. it wouldnt be immediate, but if i reuse whats there i should get you a decent spread without something crazy like Alleghany Airlines in the mix. would be two weeks, but a shorter 14 days rather than a longer fortnight

i had always meant to create a RedAirliner nation for the airlines of the "enemy" nations. should be super easy to do (copy, paste, change name and alignment) but never got around to it. dont think it can be dual nationed, and nuetral will have them not show at all iirc as for the airliners/airfields issue, are there any military airfields that have to be large? otherwise, restrict the airliners to large airfields (think most are anyway) and hav the airbases be medium.

Gepard, given that ive worked on alot of the available airliners (not just skinpacks but some working with the modeller from beginnng), you might need to add "Airlines" to the allowed nations for the terrain for them to show. unless you have already that is otherwise many of hte currently available airliners wont show up even if the end user has them in the install

Battle Creek over Italia, 90 desktop comes back online next month, so i might fly somewhere outside of Italy and the Balkans again. but Menrva did provide us a really photogenic terrain....

ok, gotta say it: im not that into the WW2 props the evidence? i saw Birdcage (capitalized) and immediately thought Robin Williams and Nathan Lane

i'd do what interests you, and be available to explain what you did to anyone that wants to do it themselves (and asks nicely of course)
