lol I think squinting in the dark is preferable... And I thought I had alot of time on my hands..

I think so, but the more you sit down and think about it (let't not look at his behaviour.. yet), it just doesn't add up that they are. Sure by some freakish nature they could be (how did Tigh of all people slip through the screening process? Surely Baltar during the trial would have tried to say he was), or it's what Jedi Master said, Baltar didn't see the Final Five but the DNA testing would have proven otherwise. So I think it's a misconception, as the "final five" so far are hooded individuals that we all saw in the season finale, not four indivicuals who think that they are (I mean surely they would have "activated" or whatnot) because they are the only ones to hear the song. But again, Ron Moore has that ability of making one thing seem one way, when it's another. The only way for them to be non-Cylons is some passage in the "scriptures" and of course Starbuck in a clean Viper. Sure it adds up to five, but the thing is, are we sure? No, we have to wait for next season, and that's going to be a minute, so we'll have to wait and see. For all we know, they could be the women that are helping Baltar "to a new life". So many questions....

Ain't that the truth, was kind of a shocker, ol' Tigh a Cylon.... I think Ron Moore & Co. were just cracking up reading the forums on the responses, I know I would be But yeah, that's what makes BSG so good, it's not the FX really, it's the ever changing plot. Once you think you got it nailed, it's a different one.....

Well so far the only thing that's given me issues was around the radome where the fuselage meets it. Other than that it's worked out fine for me. But that's cool to see what happens. Oh yeah the area around the intakes gave me a little annoyance, but still got it working fine -

Well generally I tend to get the same results at the outset, which happens anyways. Its when you start to weather it, or adjust the opacity (that may be the issue) to a degree. Another cheap, easy but effective technique is to make another layer, paint bucket it with gray (128,128,128) and then use Noise to make it all pixelated (what you like is up to you, but 1.0 to 2.0 is a resonable value) that gets rid of the smoothness of a texture color. Then set the layer type to "Overlay" and you got a cheap a$$ noise layer that just works. Maybe a screenshot or two and we can see how cartoonish? Adding some generic weathering to the Su-27. Ukrainian Flankers tend to be alot cleaner than most, and the ones from 2004 (latest I could get from Airliners.net) show them dirty, but just that, not DIRTY) aren't that bad off, so mine isn't going to reflect that too much: -

Well there was also the "Mig-37 Ferret" that was done AFAIK as a Testors model that I had bought and lost so long ago. -
Note that the song was "All along the Watchtower" from Jimi Hendrix (covered by somebody, didn't care too much about the credits after that doozy). I got the old series (packed up, never finished it all) and watched up to... the ice planet, guess I should have pushed through as that part seems interesting. But the thing is to ask, why only them? You could say the Final Five Cylons.. but if that was the case, Baltar would have said something way before. So while on one hand it could be true, on the other hand, with the way the plots go, you never know until they start saying "By your command" or whatever.

You'd have to import it into Woe/SF1 and then get it working. What's in there is just the model itself in gmax format. In a sense it's the files needed to get it working, but it's basically not complete by any means. -
That made my day

Trust me man, it's one of those jobs where you just walk the fine line sometimes, and it's hard, maybe for me in light of recent events, to not cross it, but once you do... Game on and then you're dodging your other Moderators, or whoever, and sometimes you gotta be defanged but that's something else. Matter of fact I still have Moderator nightmares from the Ubi forums. I just don't go back there man, there's nothing more for me there. EDIT: Well I stopped back there and still have Moderator status, so I guess I'm still "active" though I figured Xinterface would have let me go.. oh well.. And the bad thing is, I'm in the training environment (well okay, this is my last week!!!!), and I see the same crap here online, that I see with the Privates. There's no escape, but Friday there will be! But the point is we get the same stuff, gimme gimme gimme. Sure there are somethings I can't do, but there somethings I can, and I try and stay within those limits. And if I can't help modelling or texture-wise (last one hypothetically), then hell I can always take the time to find ref photos, whatever.

By far my most favorite series, even the new seasons were actually pretty good, and I've been watching most of the old ones too. Anybody else?

Ahh okay, I saw her in "Leisure Hive" so that's why I was interested. To be honest with you I think Tamm looked better, but that's me. Anyways, it's all good, as I've only looked at some of the extra material on the DVDs, given that I'm starting a collection...

As was discussed in the LO forums, it doesn't matter if it's got rotors or a hybrid, if it fails you're still screwed... I'd done two combat landings in a freakin C-130, so I'd rather fly that than do one of those again!

Oh yeah, about the pylons... given what's seen operationally you think you can make the pylons so we can have an asymetric layouts just on the wings, to include the Sidewinder stations?
