I just couldn't resist this one.

GIMP or Paint.net works and is FREE. If you got the money to throw around, Adobe CS3 or Paint Shop Pro are the alternatives.

Thanks! I found a manufacturer's site and got a good shot of the whole assembly and obviously looks pretty good

It'll be available, Blackbird is playing around with it and will be available for release when it's able to

On the topic of douche bags............

I PM'd you the file, where they're located on the map and on the 3D model. I used the template just specifically for the slimer locations. So if you need it again then I'll resend it though.... Note that the buddy pod does have three lights at the rear, I have to dig up the photo though. LAU-117 detail:

LAU-118 detail, both initial and with some weathering applied. Also working on the Mav rails, and for best results (if you're in it for the looks) MF Mavs are choice Also PM'd FC the slimers location. Not sure how it works with decals but I've been really lackadasical (shows how being on leave works for ye).

Eh? Pylon detail I had asked Vampyre to help FC out with the light locations since he works with the plane and it wouldn't hurt for a subject matter expert to be on hand as well Besides I figure I can work around the lighting, but if you still need me, I can get you the slimer locations textured quickly.

Which begs the question on the TW engine anyways. Sure you can do it, since TK won't go past the 80's at least he can get the KA-6D and it's associated equipment since this is what the SH does now anyways. Nice FC

And JAT81500 submitted a tentative LOADOUT.ini, which needed some tweaking. Shown are the Fighter Sweep, CAP, Intercept, and Strike. Unfortunately I removed some of the stuff he specified, so I'll PM it to the people on the team and perhaps they can show the other loads. You'll notice that so far I have three. Well WOI (which I use) specifies the same loadout for whatever role. Such as Recon is how he set it, for Fighter Sweep, etc. And JAT81500, yes I know the Strike loadout specifies a GBU-10, but I don't have that version so I'll stick with the -16 just for this purpose.

Thanks! Just tried to get the top camo to line up with the gun. Having issues as it's curving like that. Gonna tweak it later on though.

Yeah but NVGs are useable, can't have everything Agreed Jedi Master, but I think they keep it less complicated in order to compete with F4:AF. I personally don't care as most of the time I'm skimming trees and AWACS telling me I got trouble is good enough for me

take 1

Here it is 10% darker. Maybe 5%?

And removed.

There's a "fee" for such leniency

Well I'll darken it a tad, and see how it looks.

Finally got off my butt and got a gun texture, and prelim rail textures for the dual rails.

Well.. I took the colors from a modelling site. The main issue is that scheme is various colors during different lighting conditions man. I know you mean well, but that's during a cloudy day, here's one during a sunny day, and what I used to get the color.

Some more progress shots. Not visible are mapping changes. On that topic, the template is now "all inclusive" (so one template handles the E/F/G models with no difference except for of course the two seat versus single) like BLT, its just all together (well USAFBLT is a different story altogether.... ). On the serious notes, we were having issues with weapon placement, as well as the fun fun fun sub-pylons for the Mavs, HARM, and Sparrows. So instead of the whole mishmash (which it turned out to be) FC managed to make it a whole new pylon model, so when you select the HARM (as you can see in the screenie) it's a whole pylon, not just the adapter, same with the Sparrows. Of course they need mapping, will start soon, but here's some stuff that is just beautiful Also the top left pic shows the repositioning of the middle wing pylon. Shown in one screenie are the spoilers deployed. JAT81500 gonna need you to work on that, as you'll have the latest in your inbox, "non clown skin" included. Also shown is the new flap setting, which was assumed to be like the Legacy Hornet, but after looking at it, was readjusted, also to clear the weapons on the outer pylons. I have to redo the wing textures only for readjusting the "mounting holes" positioning, but the good thing is it shouldn't be much longer. Only other issues to tackle ini-wise is the compression of the gear, all SH's are "low riders" so gonna need that accomplished, as well as the spoilers only deploying at very low speeds, which of course should be at all speeds. I owe FC positions for the formation lights, which can be solved easily.

Go into each aircraft's folder and delete the .shd file. With the later patches a shadow LOD isn't needed.

Nice one Syrinx
