And the VFA-136 skin is in the downloads section.

View File VFA-136 CAG 2011 This is a skin depicting the CAG jet of VFA-136 during I believe 2011 or so. Since I'm going off of a few reference shots (thanks to Svetlin for a handy reference file) it is the best I can manage with what I have, so it should be close enough. Simply add to the FA-18E_BlkII folder and go fly. Name on the dropdown menu is VFA-136 CAG 2011 Submitter EricJ Submitted 09/26/2019 Category F-18

Thanks, it is good to be back to skinning again

Tracing Svetlin's image:

Here's it traced on, not as good but workable I guess:

You ain't lying at all :) But you're right, even the official page has that image as well, and the only decal I got is low res. If I had a scanner I'd order the decal and scan it, but not going to do that, as I may have to trace it again to get it right.

No I didn't, I'll see what I can do though

Here's what I'm shooting for, I don't remember the date but I think it was 2011, or sometime: Unfortunately still not the right size and not the right one, I'll have to see what my Google-Fu can do.

I'll go with the one that daddyairplanes posted. Problem is that all the decal sites (where I got that on the tail) was low res and it's easier to downsize from a huge pic (like the one that daddyairplanes posted). Besides the quality of what I have so far isn't up to anybody's standards (mine or a future user) so I'll work with the above image and get it shaped right. As for weathering as a decal? No way, I'm not that skilled on decals and the skin is going to be of just this bird, I tend to do specific skins so this one is 100% decal free

WIP VFA-136 CAG 2011. The tail insignia looks like crap because I couldn't find any high-res shots, but everything else works:

Early morning strike mission

Rolling off the deck for a strike on Iran:

Thanks Wrench, I have checked it out and it's pretty nice so far: Off for some GBU-16 and iron bomb qualification

More range flying:

First trap after a long time, after a strike mission against Iran

On approach

After a long hiatus, going back to the Range to get back into the flow of things.

Heading out to the range getting some practice in.

Fair enough.

I think the crowdfunding route should have gone on longer, to accommodate the players that want to pay but can't at the moment. Star Citizen is a good example of crowdfunding, where they play the long game as far as funding goes (and those who have kept up with it, know it's working out pretty good) and through concept sales they get the money through its member base (which off the top of my head was around two million players). But the point is that there isn't enough hype to attract the crowd that TK is looking for. It's just marketing the game through the mobile games and then returning back to the PC platform to find out that there are players willing to pay for a new patch so it will be free, but it's going to take some time to get the hype back after he chose to go mobile, which turned me off quite a bit. Nice idea having different planes (though of course some were done by the mod community) but no cockpit, no interest. Just my .02
