Damn man, where's the Time Machine and can I take a spin in it? Lol

Anyway, I redid the mount for the refeulling receptacle on the MH-92s as well. It was kinda janky and figured that in 2035 or whenever the helo was made (never made any lore for this, just made it up and such), the mount would be less invasive and such in the cockpit area. So that's something I guess.

I mean it looks pretty cool (this iteration at least) and never thought the A-7 was ugly. It has nice lines for a ground attack plane. I never liked the F-8 though, I think it looks stupid.

Okay there's an update this Sunday at least, I added the bits and bobs to the MH-92s and it looks better actually with more "high-tech stuff" and such. I don't think much will come after that, pending user requests and such. If I were to pursue a quad-rotor helo it'd take some time but otherwise not interested right now and see if Kitsune will come through with it.

Updated the Operation Odyssey Dawn texture, going to be available on CombatAce and the DCS site:

If you look at the prices that you pay for DCS and such, 100 bucks + free mods here (and there too) makes it a frakkin bargain. Not only do I have to not worry about missing a CLC aircraft or whatnot that was put out through the years, but again, I've paid nearly a thousand dollars for DCS alone (okay not that much, but if you buy everything it'll add up quick, and let's not forget hard drive space), SF2 is a better deal by far. Besides as mentioned, you don't need to spend more money buying all the various games and the DLCs. It's far cheaper by any stretch of the imagination, because if I bought two modules for DCS, then it would easily be over 100 dollars. No, while you're right, SF2 is 17 years old, people are still eeking out content and did I mention that I don't have to (even if I didn't get a subscription), I have access to more content (I mean we've been going through the files, but if you look at the amount of files, it's a lot). So if I didn't play DCS I could play a fairly decent flight sim (I mean yeah got it, it's aged), but again, spending 100 beans (or equivalent) is just a steal.

I'm busy redoing some skins I did for DCS right now, so I'll do that and found some inspiration when watching Quiggs on his livestream do some stuff for his MV-35. I'll put some sensors around the MH-92s and stuff to jazz it up (won't affect any gameplay) during the week, but again it's going to be light work, and nothing extensive, just stuff to make it look cool. Other than that, I teased the idea of for some "realistic" .45 ACP rounds, but converaations noted that the round performs okay in-game, so more than likely I won't do anything with a custom ammo mod for the game. I'm just at a point where not much needs to be done. And people are asking about that quad-rotor Chinook, so somebody else can do it, or maybe I'll break down and make one, who knows.

Updated the XE572 skin, making it more correct, now updated in the Downloads section:

How much does it cost? I mean that's the question, and if TK is willing to sell the IP in the first place. I mean you can try their Discord in getting a hold of somebody, but overall somebody like Eagle114th is doing his part (if he's still alive) with learning the game. But who'd be willing to do this? A lot of questions that need to be asked and answered.

I mean what's wrong with two versions? I mean one version or both, though I'm favoring angelp's version, but whatever, I'd like to have one too.

View File F/A-18F VFA-102 CAG Early for the CJS Super Hornet Mod Basically a fixed (I thought I had uploaded this already, apparently not), but here it is. It is selectable as "VFA-102 CAG Early" in the dropdown menu. Submitter Flanker562 Submitted 03/07/2026 Category Misc/AI Aircraft Skins  

Also worked on the 390th ECS Livery, bringing that up to the current standard:

Had to totally redo this skin, since it had a couple of errors that needed fixing. Once the Downloads are fixed I'll upload:

Known issue, the Downloads hard drive went down, so we're rebuilding the Downloads as quick as possible.

Okay. Yeah I don't know why somebody didn't make it, I figured Insky would do it, or even (maybe?) Veltro2K (but he's out), so okay, good to know.

Available on the DCS Website: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3349057/

I'm sure if you look at the Downloads section you'll find it, I'm sure it's been done, and would be surprised if it wasn't done.

As I'm sure Gepard commented on the other topic about this, most Russian AAMs and such weren't as good as they claimed. The G ratiing on an AMRAAM is even sus as nobody knows the actual figures, due to the classified nature of the missile, so in essence you're right, but also wrong too.

It does have nice lines I'll give it. I could have some legit person (FLOGGER23?) was working on one, or Insky uploaded a ripped model or something.

Well who knows... Maybe DAT has that, but I'm pretty sure we don't. There was rumors (and I believe somebody years ago) was working on one, but hasn't popped up. Personally with the lack of helicopter physics, it's a crapshoot with SF2.

I mean is it not there or something? If not then there's nothing we can do, unless somebody has one to offer.

Right now I'm reworking my skins that I released before for the CJS Super Hornet Mod. I saw the light and fixed the camo greys because they weren't previously working right with the reality of how it looks in real life, almost a whiteish color that I seem to have worked out with some degree of accuracy. I'll be going over the uploaded skins, so if you set it to update you when it updates, then you can get the notification when it's redone. But here's the VFA-22 CAG 2015 in correctish colors:

Other than light DCS work, I don't have anything planned yet for Arma 3. The Hatchet stuff is on standby, as I don't know if BroBeans will work out the issues or if they are really too busy or don't want to fix them. Right now, the Hatchet Interaction Framework is optional, as the vanilla startup is still working. I've unloaded the mod since I don't need it, and haven't used the framework to start the birds when I play around or record the Pilot missions. So maybe something like a request or something will come around, and I can get back in it or just rest on some laurels a bit and focus on other games for now. They won't be abandoned (I'm still wary of Arma 4, but that's next year), but most mods seem stable enough not to worry about either. If anything changes, I'll let you know.
