Very true. My own mother knew two men who were arrested for links to the IRA and found guilty of smuggling arms and weapons into the country. One of the most complex histories to a country I know of. My friend's dad was also shot in Northern Ireland when he was in the paras. I could ask him him about it for you if you like?

There used to be a make shift high rez pilot template in the form of Diego's plain pilot bitmap, however, due to some circumstances he has pulled all of his work from public domain. I've been thinking of trying to skin a high rez pilot, just need the time in between other things to get round to it.

Nice vid Fubar. Am I right in thinking that what you've achieved in that video is networked sams incorporated in the carrier fleet?

I'd go with that Wrench says, resizing them and then using the original layers as a good guide to the new stuff to draw. Even if you only want your skins at 1024 px square size, primarily draw them at 2048 px square. This allows for potential high rez skins and better smoothing and anti-aliasing when re-sizing them down. I've used the stock templates to redraw some 3rdW aircraft and they've been great as guides. You've probably heard of this site, but it may help you if you plan to redraw the templates... www.simmerspaintshop.com

Over at Marcfighter's site he has templates for nearly all the MiGs in SF I think. You may have to go through the pages of his skins and it will on the left hand side of the page. On the combatace home page, there's a link to his site in the top right corner. EDIT: There we go, Soviet Templates

Amazing work Marc! Thank you very much indeed

For skinning, the main programs to go for are Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, none of them come cheap, and the latest versions can be quite pricey. However, if you're not looking to splash out a few bob, there's another free skinning program called the Gimp that several skinners in the community have been very happy with. If its skinning you're really looking to go into, head on over to www.simmerspaintshop.com for some great help and tutorials for flight sim skinning.

I believe that there is a B-52 that is currently a WIP from Prowler1111 solely for the SF/WOV/WOE series.

Great work! Go Gux!

Know what you mean. Skinning takes up most of my time, and then some modelling.

Many happy returns!

Instead of going to attributes in the image sub menu, go to Stretch/Skew. Then according to what size bitmap you have apply, the appropriate percentage to get it to the desired resolution. For example, if you had a 2048 pixel square bitmap, you would enter 25% in both horizontal and vertical parameters if you wanted the bitmap resized to 512 pixels square. When you do this don't worry about having the bitmap selected with the selection tool.

Dam, those foxbats are looking....well.... DAM!

The one in the pics is the K model Ghostrider, however there are two other variants as well. I shall be able to confirm them later.

137 = Martin Baker MB.5 157 = YA-9 163 = Tu-142 188 = Scimitar 206 = YF-107 246 = Ekranoplane 252 = Tacit Blue Project 293 = Valiant 350 = Yak-141

You'll love her guys

Np. If you look through the various forums, there should be wip pictures of the F-22. I searched for the pics of the F-35, found the posts although the pics appear to have gone.

Looking great Nghengo! Keep up the good work! :)

The F-22A has been modelled by wpnssgt and the F-35 is I believe in the process of being made by serverandenforcer. They are both not ready for release.

There's gonna be two IAF skins for the MiG-27. In addition there'll be a soviet skin.

So far I know of around 5 virtual squadrons that used to or still do fly SFP1. They are: VF-162 - Not very active VF-84 - Same Virtual Aggressor Wing - Same 77th Gamblers - Used to be very active, not so much as recent times, I belong to them. 561st - Not very active either.

The AC-130 is actually up for download here at CA. Its just a matter of going through the aircraft download pages.

Yep, both are quite far along in being ready for SF

Very good work Kout!
