By the way Sundowner I don't think my machine can run it. I gave it a whirl and about the third or fourth time trying to make a free flight mission none of the textures would load for my jet. Tried other maps and it works fine, but this one is veeery demanding on the computer.

Just spent some time fixing a glaring mistake for the VAQ-130 and VAQ-140 skins. At the time I didn't know that the numbers for an EA-18G squadron go from 500 to 505 for years apparently as I never worried about it, mainly focused on the E/F squadrons. That is fixed now as finally it's done right I think. I've seen 506 too but I think that's just an NL squadron thing and not a typical Growler squadron.

View File EA-18G SD525 VX-23 Scheme This is a skin that I found in my image repository of VX aircraft and represents a Growler from VX-23. Simply download the file and extract it. Put the VX-23 folder in your EA-18G folder and go fly. Can be found under the dropdown menu "VX-23 Strike Test". Submitter EricJ Submitted 05/15/2023 Category F-18  

Just a note from one NCO to another it's generally not good to snap on civilians like they're you're Soldiers (believe me I don't blame you though, as I've had a few times where I wanted to snap and such). It doesn't work well but it did give me a chuckle though, a nice one. madvad it may help to provide the base names so he can fix it sometime.

Final look, will be uploaded and awaiting authorization:

I have some VX-23 stuff for the F/A-18E and figured it would look good on an EA-18G:

I don't ignore your posts as I can fully understand you, just how it goes with me I guess...

It's definitely the Prowler FM that needs some tweaking from the Superpack. Because I can trap other birds (the flaps gets me all the time, I'm spoiled by the Super Hornet/Growler with auto flaps), but managed to get the A-6E down fine.

You may have to extract all as I had to do that to find some EA-6B stuff and I couldn't see it.

No problem, I have the setting where I get notified via my computer, so it wasn't too hard

I had it happen with the Prowler one time, then the problem went away so far. I don't know what's causing it, but I'd try Menrva's suggestions and see if that fixes it.

Agreed, but it's the only workaround I have so it works as best as possible.

I found it Stratos. Seems a "turn on/turn off" is just to switch from High to Unlimited and I can do that easily. Thanks!

Okay cool, I can look in the Downloads section and see what happens too. Thanks

Is it only for dark mission though? Will I have to remove it for use during the day?

@allenjb42 can probably help since he's on the YAP-RW. Not many people here as far as I know use it. That or ask on the FB group when you get access.

A EA-18G from VAQ-562 lands after a training mission off the coast of California

What plane are you using? It could be that's the problem.

This is something I tried years go. It doesn't work as well (I tried recoloring the HUD, no worky for me, or maybe because it was in the middle of the day). It worked with the A-6E TRAM but with the Growler/Super Hornet no such luck. I mean the game doesn't care what time of day I fly (and neither do I, I fly daytime). Unfortunately unless some miracle happens with a programmer or things happen with a patch, then I'll stick to day flying only.

You're not hijacking the thread (not too much anyway) so your concerns are pretty valid given the touchy nature of YAP and YAP-RW so far. I just hope that things work out for the better with YAP-RW and so on. Cliff7600 will look at the files and hopefully provide a workable solution to the FM issue with the Prowler though. It flies okay just trapping is a nightmare and frankly understand why trapping is such a clincher for some people. I mean I get more focused on landing than on a normal runway, but the ease of some jets takes away the worry.

Thanks, I'll PM him and see what happens.

Are there any FM gurus still around? I'm having some issues with the Prowler. No matter what I can't seem to land it right. I know I'm flying okay and can trap other fighters fine, but this one is pissing me off. I know it's not me, and methinks the Prowler FM needs some tweaking and so on. I mean it's not my mod, but I'm hoping somebody is willing to look at it and help out as no matter what I do, it lands all wrong and know it's not me.
