so it seems possible. but will need ALOT of ini dancing to make practical

Just saw this in another article about a Ukrainian Blackhawk..... https://twitter.com/oleksiireznikov/status/1616858176481017856?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1616858176481017856|twgr^681a43d8a4f616aad7db88c22727d249fb91d4eb|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fh5.newsbreakapp.com%2Fmp%2F0kux3f35%3Fcv%3D23.7.0platform%3D1hybrid%3Dtrueversion%3D23.7.0isDark%3D0fontScale%3D1.0isFollow%3D0_native_ads%3D1font_scale%3D1.0

for starters, i would delete all the new aircraft, then add one at a time to see which one was the offending party checking the game between deleting all new birds and adding them singly is advised too. make sure it is one of the aircraft and not some other issue finally, is that part of the drop down truly blank, or just greyed out with text in there and not allowing alternate selections?

no patch since 2013, its pretty damn stable-ish by now. oc course if he were to patch it or make a major new release, everyone would be gaga and amazed he did something for the first 24 hours. then would come all the bitching. THIS ISNT RIGHT! HIS PATCH BROKE MY MOD!!! (not that i remember that back in '11 and '12...) so yeah, best to play with and tweek what we got.

well theres many reasons alot of those folks havent been around. some are still in touch-ish via FB, others have just moved on. and thank you very much for now making me realize that i am now one of the old ones at least on this site

nah, youre in the 15 percent. you like the big booms too much to stay in the shadows

brother, get use to it a large portion of this site is lurkers. very happy to watch and download whatever is out there that suits their tastes. not so big on participation. not saying its good or bad. just an observation. theres maybe 15 percent active in communicating on this site, 5 percent of it involved in any form of content creation. numbers aint exact, but you get the point. best to set question parameters, a time limit and go with hte results at the end. people that will bitch, will do it whether you had 66 votes or 66,000.

i thought it was going to be FACs when i saw the title. looks wicked, but kept thinking "toot, toot!" as i was lookin at them

still discussing GIMP, now that he gave you a fish lunch, i'll teach you how to fish for yourself. open the file, under files select Export As (NOT SAVE AS) then make sure teh file type is .tga uncheck the box next to RLE compression. this pops up the first time you open GIMP, and then it will stay that way for any other tgas you open during that session. open any others you need to fix and export them, allowing overwrites. sometimes when working with serials, i forget to uncheck the box first time out. so i might make a dozen serial number decals before realizing the filse sizes are too small. so i have to follow the steps above to fix them

yes it should be about skinning mostly. possibly some data ini changes if you want Iranian Tigers past the mid 90s but there are a few model options in the F-5 portion of the download section

the Coasties have a lower budget than the Marines,. all the bad publicity early on with the crashes and i think theyre too big to land on most cutters they did some tests with the XV-15 though back in the 80s

looks awesome would suggest moving the insignia off the nacelles though. because of the rotation. best suggested place would be on the fuslage forward of the red band, and as big as possible

if the U-2 wins brother. i have a full bag of tgas for it already cant say the same for the others no, that isnt meant to affect the decision. just letting you know if it does win

lemme know if and when it gets to the skinning part. no sense in totally reinventing the wheel on the markings....

dont recall a DAT Dragon Lady. the one here is the much earlier smaller one i have one as well, from a friend of a friend type deal and not for public release. but part of how i came across it was to tweak their skins and do serials as well as tail arts. as for the aircraft, that one could be interesting. the superpods on the wings, the hump on top and even the noses are interchangable. if one were to set it up as recce pod weapons, and the locations as weapon stations you could tailor the aircraft just as in real life

there is an exporter for Blender

heres one i just thought of any chance of a U-2R or S making the cut? if so, TR-1 would be a ini edit away, given they were renamed Rs for USAFE use (all renamed R after 91, then renamed S after upgrades mid 90s)

im down for another Boeing. just make an airstair in the back, with a single paratrooper station (50 points to whoever gets it) and could make the fictional Concorde RS1 strategic aircraft along with a Concorde......

that what mission editor is for but some of my favorites mission wise the last couple of years have been to sent interceptors (15s or 16ADFs) to track airliners. we just say they were in trouble and needed an escort and makes for great screenies

any commercial airliner in a warzone wont be neutral. The US gives alot of charter business to companies on condition that in a war time call up a percentage of their fleet and crews will become auxillaries (was used in 90-91 and again in 03). thats passenger and cargo with some converted for medevac. It is officially known as Civil Reserve Airlift Fleet or CRAF. Aeroflot was always a dual entity. a short Google search will show paratroopers loading up on Aeroflot IL-76s. they werent flying first class not sure on other European nations (east or west) but safe to say the airlines would be pressed into service. as i mentioned elsewheres, ther is a BLUE Airliner nation. mainly made to create an airliner formation. wouldn't be too big a stretch to make a RED airliner nation.

check sound settings too. i had an issue with ODS30AE, and the the fix turned out to be in the sound settings I had to change from 24 channel to 32,but not 100% sure and cant reference my install right now as the desktop is still packed away

you say Tigers?

those are amazing!

maybe go less brown. Stratos's second pic actually looks very milky. more whitish tan than brown

i had thought to do a RED_Airline for that sort of thing. but never got around to it also, later thinking on airliners was the Civil Reserve Airlift Fleet. only called up so far for Iraq 90/91 and 03, it would have featured heavily in a real world REFORGER bringing the troops while the cargo birds bring equipment and supplies
