Yeah I should be in-country "today" so I'll get it to you, as well as JAT81500's skin. Just a warning JAT81500, it will still be a "prototype" skin format, as I haven't still finished it, so what you see on the topic here, is what you'll get, along with what I have. I can't work on any skin or a personal version until it's ready even for me, and it's not, so to be fair about the issue.

In a few weeks F/A-18F should be around, so it will be known.

Using the KMD you can assign it "transport" and pretty sure of course it doesn't require an objective so this'll be a nice addon for missions....

Took a look at JAT81500s ini work, and the bombs, etc. are aligned properly now, i.e. canted along with the pylons. I'm in transit so I can't bust out the joystick to see how the FM tweaks he did worked out, but within a day or so should have a good feel. Other than that, good work, a few tweaks, but overall If they allowed use of thumbdrives, then I could upload the skin for JAT81500, and screenies showing his work, which is nice, considering it's accurate...

Maybe put back the Supa Bug's intakes back? the squarish intakes doesn't look good IMHO, but then again it does look pretty cool

Come on Dave, when I have to spot Tbans in rocks, the Bone is fairly easy to pick out, so no eel for you!

I don't know the name offhand, but find the .cat extractor in the Downloads/WoX series/utilities. You have to extract the Netz_DATA.ini and find it yourself. Hate to be rude but I'm not working off my personal laptop.

It's going to be fairly basic, how I usually keep them, so it leaves the skinner to have as much fun. So yeah, you'll get a panel layer, rivet layer, and "Details", which is all the extraneous stuff (gear, cockpit, etc.), and the basic two-tone camo layer. Yes it is two tone, just the Navy decided on a weird combination that depending on the light (as seen in the screenies above) seems like one. That's why in some cases I don't enjoy modern USN aircraft, because the light just causes problem over the colors, but such as it is.....

Yeah man, it's working okay so far... I got a PM for ye when it uploads, just the only thing bugging me is the gear, but overall it's fine. JAT81500 submitted a tentative ini and loadout.ini, so I owe him a "non-clown" skin (still WIP, can't they make aircraft that don't require so many damn rivets?). That and travelling home is sorta kinda throwing wrenches in updates. I got most of the aircraft done, still working on refinements, and other bits, but I would guesstimate less than two real weeks it should be good to go. And I do appreciate the help from FC, column5, and JAT81500. I know SidDogg you want to help that's cool, but it's been so long since I've done real work that it's kinda fun doing a "new" skin, so I got you bro, but I'd like to do my part as well.

Been out of the loop a bit, but here's a general progress.

Nice as always Silverbolt

Just an update, column5 has been gracious enough to use textures from his F/A-18A MF bird, which is good as it'll save me a headache I've had issues with my thumb/flash drive, i.e. it broke, so right now no screenies of updated stuff until I get home. But so far more progress on riveting, and panel line adjustments. FC has improved some mapping issues so we're getting there. Just hope JAT81500 is still around, haven't heard much of a peep so it may come down to needing an FM/DATA.ini guru to get the plane sorted out. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by being busy, got it, but a little progress would be nice.

Yeah I ordered it on Amazon.com like... two, three weeks ago? I saw it in iTunes, the ending episode is quite... interesting.

Cool, I just watched Season 4 "Razor". Too bad I had already seen the 4th season, but "Razor" featurette was very good.

This is starting OT but it reminded me of a good story I saw on a Bulletin:

Nice pic but shouldn't the window textures be darker and a little tint of gold?

Cool I can't wait for this map...

Now that's good man!

But since he didn't already put them on there (didn't Klavs81 do more research about the eel version?) it sucks anyways. Honestly, I'm really not that much interested in some WWII aircraft, a small selection maybe, but I'd be willing to download this just to have something nice, and trying not using eel seeking electronics and stuff, it's beautiful

Well, you can't do jack when a founder says that, that made my day. It was all in good fun but man that's just messed up

That's right, I remember the topic now...

On a more serious note, been knocking out riveting, and panel work as I go along. It's times like this aircraft I wish were like plastic models, doesn't require millions of jokers but then again the payoff is good. I can't say it's 1000% accurate, but enough to prevent somebody from rivet counting, because I've done nearly five hundred, and still not done. But as always on the bright side, I have Copy and Paste on my side, as well as CS3 , so yeah it's going to take a minute.

Eh, I'll check on that, who was the original author?

Cool

No, I don't know what happened to it to be honest with you. I had it backed up then again, I had to reformat my external and lost it. More than likely there's reasoning behind it, and don't know at this time. Just have to hope somebody is redoing it.
