  1. Then model wings, and then apply a transparent texture over the geometry, and that should solve the issue of no wings and no repulsorlifts and you can have a TIE Fighter, least that's how I would approach it. But the Sylph (I'm tracking the right one, don't remember the configuration) would be very nice. Interesting design in itself as well...
  2. Well... technically it's a smaller problem if you look hard enough. While yes the "not invented/built here" syndrome exists, I hardly think that it's good for the military. While foreign equipment is not as widespread use, here's a few examples of foreign equipment (least in the US Army anyways): 120mm Smoothbore M1A1/2 Main Gun = Rhein Metall: Basically there was nothing better on the market, and as the name suggests, license produced from ze Germans. Some British Engineer Vehicle = Alvis comes to mind for some reason, but is AFAIK a British design that is used in the Engineer Battalions, if my info is correct. Fox (Fuchs) Chemical Recon Vehicle, yet another vehicle from ze Germans AT-4 shoulder fired AT Rocket = Bofors Sweden, you can even find the FFV serial number if you know where to look XM320: Heckler & Koch design, replacing the M203 eventually. M240B/M249 Machine Guns: Fabrique Nationale, produced here in the good ol' US of A. Belgian design. M416: Heckler & Koch, basically a more reliable version of the M4, finding use among CAG (Combined Action Group, formally known as Delta Force). Thales, a French communications company, we use the MBITR Joint Strike Fighter: While yes, this is a multinational project, it's apparent that even US aerospace engineers need some Euro help, particularly of course since those European nations are wanting the JSF. AGM-142 Popeye... Not sure but is of Israel design or least produced for the Israelis, I'm not actually sure as my own info is really sketchy. Durandul: The wonderful retarded anti-runway bomb, French design. K-36 was tested for JSF, Russian ejection seat. Kh-31 missile shell considered for CIWS system development against supersonic targets, Russian design There's plenty more hanging 'round but that should be a good start.
  3. Actually I do have a question regarding the Range and Red Range... is there a way with the Terrain Editor to make it more interesting? Like adding mountains and stuff? Yes I know it's supposed to represent the USAF range.... Or would I have to actually make a new map?
  4. It is, however who has WoI? who has FE? Who has all? Who doesn't? I think that's what it's going to boil down to in the long run. Not everybody will have what's required per theme. In lieu of what Rambler 1-1 posted, it's pretty much what the Screenshot thread is about, given nothing of the sort of a "theme" we all try to show custom skins, action shots, etc. Besides if the community were larger, maybe, but on average only a few people post shots anyways, so it wouldn't do any good IMHO.
  5. Thanks... but just to keep things legal... Unfortunately I wish I was that good, but this is when I was trying to get it in LOMAC, but as it stands it's AFAIK good.
  6. Yeah that's why politics never went well with anything. Figures that when somebody else gets the contract, people will always whine, and it being election year... all the same. Besides I may not be in the Air Force, I would expect some reliable tanker planes floating around, I mean I'm going to Afghanistan, so I'd like them to fuel the jets I'll be calling in for CAS!!
  7. Well thanks to AmokFloo, with his help it may be implemented in the series.... hopefully since Marcfighter's issues and I'd like to see one, so I asked him to see what he could do, and this is what he did by reducing it to a more decent poly size. ETA so far is "two weeks" so whenever he gets it done, It'd be nice:
  8. That's just nice, one of the best tank models seen yet....
  9. If RICK did his homework, it may require you to just replace the current MEInit.xml with his. If not.... well... backup your MEInit.xml and replace the coding with what's there, if he left proper instructions....
  10. I knew it twigged Clan Wolf but hey whatever... just gotta fix the fuselage insignias so they're not upside down. Then again of all the Clans, well it's no surprising that it was my favorite, with Ghost Bear my second. Maybe some panel lines on the skin? Sure the F/A-37 is a stealth aircraft, but I remember there was a few there..
  11. Has it been modified for WoI? WoI offers more advancements to the flight modelling, so what you're experiencing is directly reflecting that fact.
  12. I checked the downloads section, and no joy... or not looking in the right spot?

  14. It to me seems strange that the Indians are looking for something else in the first place. You figure once you get your hands on a Su-30MKI, nothing else compares, unless of course it's just an alternative, or the MKI is slightly more expensive to maintain? Or just not technically advanced?
  15. Nah I would blame Boeing for not doing it right. You figure if the Japanese are having issues, much less the Italians, it has to say something. The fact that an European company got it done better oh well, shows to work hard at making it happen than just keeping something around. Look at the Super Hornet. Sure it's maneuverable, has alot of pylons, but it's a lemon. Maybe the selection of Northrup/EADS will allow Boeing to focus it's energy on improving what it's got, then it'll probably get more fighter contracts.
  16. No seriously just chill out. Sure it's okay if you don't like Star Wars, but it's Friday, so chill out.
  17. Only Moderators and Admin have the authority to approve files, which is done
  18. Hey welcome Wetfeet, but don't salute me man, I work for a living!
  19. Same response bro, we at CA don't know when a modder comes around and finishes a project, so we sometimes know as much as you do. And in this case nobody knows jack at the moment. Foxmonter just sorta disapeared so it's only speculation on what's up.
  20. I read on Alert 5 that the Super Hornet + Kitty Hawk deal is just wild speculation, matter of fact, here's the article: http://www.hindustantimes.com/storypage/st...ia+for+jet+deal Sure Boeing will push it but it's not part of the overall deal and not the carrot with the stick. Totally seperate deals.
  21. For French aircraft, I must say that and the Rafale are my two liked planes..
  22. They've been decommissioned, and the REAL artillery is 155mm, even the Squids are throwing them on the future boats. 5 inch is well.... kinda erratic if you ask me, touchy stuff....
