That's true, probably because Oleg was a little more open about IL-2 than Eagle Dynamics was. ED just makes it a pain in the butt to mod, while, okay IL-2 is a prop sim, but man, he sure got community involvement more than Lock On ever will have. Then ED split anyways, so that wasn't good, you can't order even the generic Lock On on the Ubisoft main site. Oh well! As for OFP2? I agree Fates, if they take a page from what happened with ArmA, then I'd stick with it, but right now I'll fly around in LOMAC/WOE and still beat feet in GRAW.

I tried to think of more to do, but ended up uploading it. I considered weathering, but there wasn't a whole lot to begin with, so I just went with the default stuff that came with the templates.

File Name: F-14D VF-31 Tomcatters Last Cruise CO Bird File Submitter: Flanker562 File Submitted: 23 Apr 2007 File Category: F-14 This is a rendition of the CO's bird during VF-31s Last Cruise (2005-06 on the Theodore Roosevelt).

Sure man, PM me the info.

Yeah you'd be better off reinstalling bro, as they are all in CDDS files.

It could be that "mystique" that the USAF have or want to maintain: "Are you a fighter pilot?" "Why yes I am" "Do you drop bombs too?" "Why yes I do" "Doesn't that make you an attack pilot?" "No I'm a fighter pilot" Aviators: Beings from yet another world..

You know, if there's been a complaint about your terrain, is why is it broken up? Don't get me wrong, I love the terrain, but I guess it's kinda odd that a terrain file has to be in seperate zips.

I actually broke down and flew this. You know that Shilkas are undetectable? Or was that operational reality?

No unfortunately not. If you're trying to do something special, then you have to make sure all elements are in place and working. Tough job but impossible given the coding of the sim.

Check the downloads section for the F-16s and F-15s

True, Ubisoft also jacked up LOMAC, as we could have had the F/A-18A/C as a flyable, but they rushed and we lost it... Would have been great..

Yes, the ZSU-23-4 has the Gun Dish radar mounted in the rear of the turret.

Like the Trophy's and Anchors? Yeah Airliners.net has a buttload (the vast majority are from there) that has the "E" in the cannonball. Problem is that I don't got good enough shots, so I leave it alone for now. Matter of fact I spotted AJ201 with the Aghanistan and Iraq countries for OEF/OIF that piqued my interest. But for right now I'm doing the work of what Vampyre sent me since they're so far more reliable. I can start getting crazy with other stuff when I get more accurate reference pics.

More work:

Yeah the low framerates was killing me really so I figure that around 1800 I can get good frames (lighting effects are the culprit) but knowing most people can't stand the night, it'd be always a day mission, so yeah... As for skill...? I don't understand why all of a sudden enemy forces are somehow better trained in a game, vs. real life. But you go on the BI boards and everybody's an expert, so whatever.

Thanks from everybody, it's coming along good, so I figure within a couple days it should be up. As for your buddy Falcon161, I'll PM you my email address and you can email me any photos (What squadron first? And what time period?) would be very welcome. More work:

Here we go, getting a bit closer:

lol when I get finished man, I just started

Agreed, it seems like the shooter is just getting more console-ish and just cheesy. OFP was good for it's multiple things to do, but that's starting to get outdated.

Yeah that'd be something wouldn't it? I mean seriously you'd have to add two letters to all your stationary! Oh no! Any updates Marcfighter?

No probs, this should be more workable:

Damn straight, I've had... four crashes of my computer. After the second time I've had an external hard drive, so while it's a pain, it doesn't hurt as hard as it used to. Now I just have to baby the hell out of my hard drive, though I have a second one I copy to as well, just in case...

Though the color scheme blows chunks IMO though, I liked the green/grey or just an overall grey, but hey, that decision was obviously farther than my pay grade.
