Someone said Voodoo?

The stupid thing is that I don't even use GIMP!
 

Actually I'm glad I finally asked for help! I was trying to find this issue for weeks!

- your decals are made with Gimp, I don't know why the lod viewer shows them, but not the game ...

This isn't in fact the case, but you brought me into something:
The TGA's were saved with 24bit depth but compression ON... It has to be Uncompressed!

Thank you mate!
 

Yet another Decals problem. I thought, I would know the rules, but...

I made a VF-31 skin for the F-4J for my personal use... As you can see below, the Nose and Bu. No. on the tail show up in the LOD Viewer but are missing in game.

I know you can use a maximum of 4 Decals for every Mesh Node... but that isn't the case here:

[Decal001]
MeshName=fuselage_front
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=LEFT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\TGnumAC
Position=7.91,-0.39
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.8
DecalMaxLOD=3

[Decal002]
MeshName=fuselage_front
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=RIGHT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\TGnumAC
Position=8.10,-0.39
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.8
DecalMaxLOD=3

[Decal003]
MeshName=vertical_stabilizer
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=RIGHT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum
Position=-6.60,2.44
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.50
DecalMaxLOD=2

[Decal004]
MeshName=vertical_stabilizer
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=LEFT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum
Position=-6.60,2.44
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.50

[Decal005]
MeshName=flap_inner_right
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=TOP
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum
Position=2.06,-1.82
Rotation=-13.0
Scale=0.80
DecalMaxLOD=2

[Decal006]
MeshName=flap_inner_left
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=TOP
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\FLnum
Position=-2.06,-1.82
Rotation=13.0
Scale=0.80
DecalMaxLOD=2

[Decal007]
MeshName=fuselage_P
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=RIGHT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\serialAC
Position=-4.37,0.51
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.5
DecalMaxLOD=2

[Decal008]
MeshName=fuselage_P
DecalLevel=2
DecalFacing=LEFT
FilenameFormat=F-4J\VF31\serialAC
Position=-4.37,0.51
Rotation=0.0
Scale=0.5

I am missing something?

Nope.
It's a LOD issue (ie 3D model). The Weapon Bay has just one animation slot and you can assign one animation to just ONE weapon station... So the first one works, the second one do not.

It's a game engine limitation.
 

That's what I call a good Camouflage...

Love the NASA bird!

Don't forget it's Friday!

There is a Sukhoi in that Pic, I swear!

Phinally Phriday!

I love Navy Phantoms...

Thank you Sir!

I love the Vigi... is a great Plane for Naval_SEAD

He wont change the weapons data, he will shoot with different airspeed/distance/aspect/altitude difference.

Thats how I read it.

Thank you for the explication

I had two AIM-7E failing (exploding shortly after launch) today during a forward quarter (about 120L aspect) IL-28 intercept at ~5000 ft alt.

...

Oh... those Il-28 can be pain to intercept...

I'll try again and work out if I can reduce this by changing various parameters of the weapons employment.

But you could also leave the weapons as they are meant to be

The basic Shilka we have as stock object in game, but not an improved version.

You are looking for an improved manner to die?

Hard to believe, that after 10 years there is to me still something worth a download for the F-4 Phantom

But I did... and I am having some fun with it.

Thank you!

There was many words of criticism here about TK attitude... (the most deservedly ).

So now it's time to say a word of thank: indeed I' ve got the link for SF2_Complete and to date I even didn't had all parts (I was missing SF2I).

You surely installed unwittigly a TracerXXX.tga file in your /Objects root folder

I just found out that there is something going on here! So I did my donation of a Blue € Bill 

The time frame is ridiculously short... and I even haven't fired up the game for weeks. But I'm sure I wasted my money in the past in many worse ways

I'm very happy with this update, the least I can do is to write a Thank You!

But take this just as a Bug Report: me too I don't seem to be able to load decals with DecalLevel=0...

It's been a long time now and I am not sure what it really means, but I found a notice of mine in my MOD folder:

"lower LODs have to share exactly the same Node Names, or else they won't show up "

I hope it helps somehow...

Today we are taking a trip back to 2004, a time when as you can see from the photo above featured PC CDROMs!

Before Internet speeds for most were high enough to consider sending entire game files they had to distribute games to people using good old fashioned Compact Disks. The shiny CD came complete with its own (Jewel) case with cover and even a printed manual.

...

I still have mine laying in my shelf!
Though I really should consider to finally get rid of them...

Thank you for this Mod, I love it! My first download for ages!
