Better color tones... http://www.jpsmodell.de/dc/schemes/rusaf_mig23ub_e.htm It's a lot better to find something like the Don Color site because using the eyedropper tool to get the colors off photos gives you sometimes bad results. Buuut don't get discouraged as your skin is pretty nice Doing a proper skin takes a lot of research and sometimes Google Fu and work... And this may help too: http://562.50megs.com/LOMAC/Tutorials/LST.zip (Adobe PDF)

Nice work!

And no, CCRP is not implemented in SF2 (a bit advanced for it), it's all CCIP or Kentucky Bombage.

Well it works fine on your carrier (I use 0.5) with no issues.

more progress

Dave already tasked me out on another project so can't...

And a little bit of Russian Airpower

An F/A-18F assigned to VFA-41 "Black Aces" flies over Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, 2012

Managed to find an unbusy 3D modeler and starting on the Super Hornet cockpit. Note that this is of course early WIP

Nice...

Reaching for the sky

Gonna have to ask Specter8750 then...

Open the FA-18F or E folder and see if there is a "Cockpit" folder. If there isn't one I'll upload the cockpit files for you.

You'll have to go through their site in order to become a member, that's pretty much all I know.

As said, there is a two-tone coloring, and the USN scheme is the hardest due to the colors

Open the Options.ini and go to this section: [singleMission] AircraftType=FA-18F Service=USN MissionMap=BLACKSEA2 MissionType=STRIKE MissionTime=RANDOM MissionWeather=RANDOM AirActivity=RANDOM AirDefenseActivity=HEAVY FlyAll=FALSE LoadMission=TRUE LoadMissionFilename=C:\Users\EricJ\Saved Games\ThirdWire\StrikeFighters2 Europe\Missions\Black Sea Flyer.MSN MissionDate=2012 StartYear=0 EndYear=2050 EditMission=FALSE And edit the EndYear (highlighted) and put a number you do want and it will stop there.

Cool! If you look from the LERX to the cannon you'll see the upper two-tone. If I remember correctly they kept the US Navy two-tone camo and that's what the bird has. If you can send some photos I can weather it as I just did a "quickie" which was more for the Sidewinder than the camo job.

I agree... when I was riding in the back of a Bradley I knew we were in town just by the smell... Even the elevated bridge north of Baghdad... Yech On Approach

Mountain flying, just love it...

Waiting...

Neither was Iraq...

Thanks! That's probably the best I can do with a "captive" 9P though...
