I do not have any SSD's. I just want to avoid having to reinstall my OS from scratch.

Here, try these. B28 Bombs.7z

...you are watching an animal rescue video on YouTube and perk up at what the camera caught in the opening seconds of the video.

Will this do? I have the B28FI set as free fall and the B28RI set as retarded. I am thinking of changing the yield numbers on the folder and file names to the Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, and Y5 designation and only having the specific yield listed in the FullName= entries inside the files.

The round blue component is in the wrong position on the skin. There should be two of them at about 45 degrees from the mounting lugs, compare with these images. Also it looks like the fins can be mounted in two different position ether in line with or 45 degrees off from the mounting lugs.

@russouk2004I am mating your lods to my data files.

Also I was working on most of the US nukes earlier this year to get all of the various yields right for each of the types presently available in SF2. Maybe we can get proper models for all of them as some are using placeholders and others are old and could use a LOD or texture update.

These pictures might be useful. Also, what about the ADM-20 Quail decoy? We have the "IsDecoy=" entry for cruise missiles that might make them possible. Also here is a list of all US Nuclear Weapons. https://nuclearweaponarchive.org/Usa/Weapons/Allbombs.html

Let me help with the loadout and station files. I actually noticed this issues when working on the B-52 for you last year but I did not want to pester Ravenclaw_007 because of his workload and health issues.

Did the info on the F-8 Crusader Tactics Manual ID number I sent help you find it?

Let me know how you like it. Also if you want some mod recommendations just ask.

Okay, I have looked things over and the FS2:SCP team has made mods easier than ever. Just download and install the Knossos mod manager located here. https://fsnebula.org/knossos/ When installing just let it create a FreespaceOpen directory and then point it to your retail or GOG install folder for FreeSpace 2. Once that is done find the MediaVP files and install them. I would also recommend the "FreeSpace Port" and "FreeSpace Port MediaVP" so you can play the FreeSpace 1 campaign. To play just select Home in the Knossos installer, put your mouse over the installed mod you want like "Retail FS2" or "MediaVP's" and click play.

Here is the site that is to FreeSpace2 what CA is to SF2. http://www.hard-light.net/ http://www.hard-light.net/forums/ https://fsnebula.org/knossos/ I will get a more detailed later today.

Let me get you the Source Code Project mod for it as it vastly improves the graphics.

You mean the Red October?

I managed to find this so far, a single image from the F-8 Tactical Manual, listed as being from "NAVAIR 01-45HHA-1T". Source: http://f8driver.org/F8Driver.org/[F8U]_3071.html Also found this summery performance comparison of USN aircraft vs Mig-21. Source: http://f8driver.org/F8Driver.org/[F8U]_3080.html

I am looking at getting these items. Just need to decide on a motherboard. AMD RYZEN 7 3700X 8-Core 3.6 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 32GB (2 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3600 PowerColor Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB Video Card

Good for you Dave! I am in the process of selecting parts MB, Processor, RAM, and GPU for a long overdue upgrade but I am looking at AMD hardware due to the price point. The motherboard is the one part I have yet to settle upon. Once that is done I should be placing my order.

To put that in another perspective that is just 250 people at $100 per person or 500 people at $50 per person. At the time of this post the average contribution is $52.57 per person from 37 people.

Here is a great channel on YouTube called Astrum and two of the videos plus links to NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter pages.

@GunnySonics I forgot to mention that the poster of the first video has published a book about his time flying helicopters in Vietnam. The book is "GUTS 'N GUNSHIPS: What it was Really Like to Fly Combat Helicopters in Vietnam" by Mark Garrison.

You might find these interesting.

Thanks for the Clemenceau reminder I have had it almost done for awhile. I will try and have it posted before the weekend is out.

@mue I found an issue with LODViewer_v0.6.2. When viewing some of WhiteBoySamurai's ships when I click upon certain meshes used as pivot points for VLS missile and SBROC launchers it causes LODViewer to crash. I believe it is related to a "Material ID" issues as these are intended to not be visible in game. Below are screen captures of WhiteBoySamurai's DDG-72 variant of his DDG-51 shown in LODViewer v0.5.2, which has no problem with the related meshes and then contrasted with LODViewer v0.6.2 which crashes. LODViewer v0.5.2 pivot point meshes highlighted, note the "Material ID" listed... ...Vs. LODViewer v0.6.2, note the difference in the "Material ID" number contrasted with above... ...Crashed when pivot point mesh clicked upon.
