Because the Navy didn't want too. If I remember one factoid, was that the plant was all but shut down, producing spares but no new aircraft. Alot of discussion through the future will bring alot of continual speculation. Pretty much, the Tomcat, as great as it was, is old, and the Navy didn't feel like doing it. Remember not much public opinion matters to lobbyists, or the dollar. There's alot of things the Tomcat could have, and should have done, but time moves on, and eventually the great "legacy" planes have to be retired due to the changing world.

Now that's one smokin Eagle skin

True but they always seemed to get shot up all the time...

I know it's an ini edit, but can't the Tornado still carry the ALARM on the Sidewinder pylons? I remember seeing an old photo with one loaded with seven ALARMS (two on each wing, on the 'winder pylons, and three on the fuselage) and was curious is that done operationally?

lol I had an old OFP/VBS1 project with something like that, 20mm underbelly gun like the old OV-10D, and like 12 Hellfires plus planned Stingers. Worked great as a transport/gunship system...

I agree with Jedi Master, you just have to not evaluate the movie, and just watch it. But it's by far the best blend of action, humor, and really liked it alot. Some of the scenes were confusing but overall I'll buy it also...

WorldTexturesBMP1.cdds RUS-PILOT.bmp and there's two more after that. and PILOT-USA-AF-OKRAS.bmp in the same CDDS file.

I may have missed it, but a JSOW in the works too? Nice work though...

Well still, even when it's WIP and looking good, the final result will be cool... I may change my Su-33 to that splinter style, looking sharp!

Good, now I can get back into flight simming :)

Sexaliscous man, just outright beautiful!!!!

I'd only suggest reducing the opacity of the black to 80% so the panel lines show and it still will be "black". But good work nontheless, sharp!

I still got a dual rack AMRAAM pylon model in MAX9 format. It needs a real texture map and maybe some tweaking but if you want it let me know.

Which is a problem with the DXT formats that CDDS files do. Good point, keep it in the Bazar/Temptextures directory.

There one available? or not being worked on?

Or wpnssgt's pack, which has laser designator pods as well.

Actually never went yet, just been hella busy with some school that's all :)

Hmm.... the only thing I can think is you should save it as 32 bit, 24-bit works too, but that's the only issue I can see, or.. make sure the Alpha is inactive while saving as well. The alpha layer will still save, but not sure. I remember an issue with the TGA file plugin with PS7, but since I got that fixed it works fine, if what I said doesn't work, it could be a plugin issue.

The thing is... the use of all flyable mods.. isn't really recommended because they generalize, but that's my opinion. The problem is that you have to go into the MEInit.xml (back that joker up!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and edit the positions on the pylons. Thing is.. that it takes some time to get it working. I think there's one that's "fixed" but not sure (try lockonfiles.com)

http://www.ghostrecon.net That's the best place for info on the GR line ;)

If you open them up through the Mission Editor you can change the views. If you're just opening them up through the Show Replays section, then you can't change the views. Through the Mission Editor you select in the drop down menu, "Track files", then you can open them, and then replay and change the views. Then go to Flight and select Play Track (or CTRL + P).

Looking awesome bro, good work!

Well, given that 1C is involved, then it shouldn't be ruled out.
