What Gepard said... you cannot access the .LOD files directly per se, but you can view them via Mue's excellent LOD Viewer tool, it's packed full of useful features:

Yep it's a fair shout, I recall when the SF engine got updated with the ability to have individual carriers identified via decals so these statics could take advantage of that, although they would then need to be coded as ship groundobjects and I wouldn't want them showing up errantly in missions in the middle of the ocean as targets. I appreciate the thought though, in the first instance I intend to get some packs together as terrain objects that are as Wrench said "close enough for goberment work", and then I might play around with what's possible after.

Not got those in my list, but if you're happy to send them over that would be great thank you! No worries on the Ka-27, I have found a low(ish) poly one online I can use, it's not perfect but it'll do the job: The list of WW2 statics that I've collated from your terrains are so far are: A5MClaude, A6M2N, A6M3, B-17F, B-17G, Beaufighter, Beaufort, Bf109E, Bf109F, Bf109G, BF110C, Blenheim1, Fw190A, Hurricane1, Hurricane2, Hurricane2C, Hurricane2D, Hurricane2_Hydro, Ju87B, Ju88, Ki201, Ki45Nick, Ki48Lily, Kittyhawk, Lancaster, Me262, P38F, P38J, P47D, P51D, Q1WLorna, Re2000, Re2001, SB17, Spitfire1, Spitfire8C, Spitfire9, SpitfireVBT, Warhawk. Here's a few other statics I've been working on: TMF F-5E and KC-135R Russo's Hawk and YEYEYE's Mi-24 from the modder's repository C-17

Already got WiP packs for WW2, helis, cold war and modern aircraft. Big thanks to you Wrench for all the work on the WW2 statics, I've pulled them together from your terrains and will upload soon. Yes indeed! Caravelle and Comet are done, next on the list is a VC-10 and maybe some more Airbus types.

Putting together some static aircraft terrain object packs, these can be permanently placed on airfields to complement the game generated parked aircraft. Besides the 737, 747, A300 and TMF 707, these are from freeware sources and I have re-mapped some of them to use the same textures of mods available here at CA for some skin re-usability and variety.

Keeping you and your family in thoughts and prayers GKABS. Am wishing you the very best and a positive road to recovery for your Daughter, I can't imagine how desperate she must have felt but I have no doubt that your love and strength will help her heal in the long term.

View File B-1B Lancer Templates These are my Photoshop .psd templates (2048x2048) that were created to skin Dels' B-1B Lancer that can be found at Combatace. Contains lines, aircraft parts, weathering and the UV layout. Big thank you to Dels for making the B-1B. Happy skinning. Jimbib Submitter Jimbib Submitted 11/03/2023 Category Skin Templates  

Uploaded, awaiting approval at the mo. EDIT: Now available to download, thank you Wrench.

That was a bird I skinned, I can send you my templates if you want.

Indeed, the upper wing surfaces of Metrea's N572MA seem to be quite elusive. In the absence of a better view, here are a few shots that may help in the meantime: https://www.flickr.com/photos/139215327@N04/53055913768/sizes/6k/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/139215327@N04/53113972056/sizes/5k/ https://www.wiltshiretimes.co.uk/resources/images/17005870/ If you go to google earth and check out the civilian cargo ramp at the south end of March AFB you'll find N572MA parked up on the most recent image of the history feature. I've boosted the curves in PS a bit to help the pattern stand out: Also, this link has FS codes for the Aegean Ghost colour scheme to help you dial in the paint job: http://davecoleysemporium.co.uk/contents/en-uk/p11143_Arcus-enamels-7001-_HAF-Aegean-Ghosts_--Paint-set.html

If the original authors of the various civvy airliners available for SF2 would be okay with sharing the max source files with me (not to be distributed any further), I would gladly convert them to static terrain object LODs, this is something I have been hoping to do for a while.
