Why would you want to ? as someone one of whose prime job in the Forces was CBRN Warfare, ie detection and decontamination, , I know how damned nasty Chemical warfare is, so i suggest forgetting that rather peculiar idea, and go back to killing and maiming by conventional means alone !!! If you really must cause mass death and destruction , there are of course Nuclear options in the Sim, however the chances are you will blow yourself to the Happy Hunting Grounds along with all the other poor buggers , wildlife, flora, and other unassuming and innocent bystanders !!!

We have been NEEDING an "H" since the Sabres first came out !!!

Yes mate I have the original RAF 14 squadron scheme, I am unsure of where it came from now, as I dont see it on here , but I also want to do the MkII/ III marauder that were used buy the South African squadrons Speaking of glitches with the shadows, have you also noticed that there is a decal bleed glitch on the Port rear fuselage, just forward of the tail gun mount, only seems to happen on the port side for some reason, also the other little annoyance is the Starboard side engine, its miles off centre............like this Also the canopy framing on the tailgunners cockpit is wrong fro a Marauder MkI I have no such qualms about plagerism, if someone has a problem they can come speak to me face to face, if they want to mess with a 6' 2" hairy arsed biker that is hehehehehehe There are so many nice WWII and pre war aircraft that are crying out to be modelled on THIS site, they seem to get a little overlooked, we could do with some all new early Spits for a start, and some early 109's would be nice too.

Does anybody have access to the original templates for the B-26 and the B-25 ? Trying to reverse engineer new templates from just a skin is a real pain in the Botty ! Not impossible as I have done it before, but it is a real nuisance and very time consuming doing it this way, so if anyone has the originals and are willing to let me have a copy, I would be much obliged chaps.

They must have been good as they were still in service in Vietnam.

A-26 Invader even more so, with the 8 gun nose big ouch if you are on the receiving end of those !! But yes the Marauder is a very handsome beast , the Boston /Havoc were not bad either.

Yes A lot of them handle like heavy fighters, and they just look so neat and tidy.

Also they are lovely aircraft , I am a big fan of twin engined mediums !!

Yes I know Kev, it was a subtle hint for you to pipe up lol. I have most of the available Marauders off of here, and I'm trying to do some new skins and markings , I know there are only 3 main colour schemes for the Aircraft , however I want to fiddle around with them a bit, add weathering, and correct a few of the panel lines etc. here is my initial go, but I want to improve on this if at all possible

Yes I know, its do able , but its time consuming and a bit of a bind to be honest, just trying to make my life a little easier mate !!

OOh yes that is very nice of you sir !! like I say better than doing the breaking down a skin dance

Cheers mate, will give them a test flight later on.

Hey mate, just a quick question, reference your RAF Euro Pilots, with oxy mask, how difficult would it be for you to do another one, but rear facing as in the KAW pilots, there is one that is named KAWG and it is the exact same pilot model as the navigator and bomber pilot, but facing backwards, I could really use the RAF oxy dude with a rear facing profile so I can retrofit him in WWII bombers such as the Marauder and Mitchell etc. I have just replaced all the pilots and gunners on the B-26 marauder, and the kaw models are fine for the US versions of the aircraft but there is no RAF equivalent, hence my request.........look forward to hearing from you mate.

I'll take 'em mate , if they are up for grabs, any decent pilots are appreciated .

Its just a shame that Geezers excellent German aircrew arent wearing oxy masks, as was the norm, it wasn't common for masks not to be worn , except at low altitudes, and even then they were worn, especially RAF ones as they didnt use throat mics like the US and Luftwaffe did and the mic was in the mask itself . I have a feeling it was something to do with canopy damage , as a sudden in rush of cold air in the face at 200 plus mph can be rather distracting .

OK then !! from this horror story .......................... to this Epic Novel ........................................... and of course from this disaster movie................................... To this blockbuster................................................ Guess who is a Happy Crusader on the path of wiping out banana up bum gunners !!! no tested the others yet but no doubt about it they will be totally froody !! Thanks again guys for helping me along the path to purification harhaharhar

Smashing stuff Mue and Kev, I will test these out later on !!

hmmm interesting, shame they didnt post any screenies to go with the statement though.

I have zero clue when it come to LOD manipulation, I cant afford to buy 3DS MAX or I would just make a new pilot from scratch , as far as I can see there is no possible way ( for my meagre understanding of lods / models) to rotate the pilot "in place" so it will need a completely new , I assume , LOD doing, but with the same jpgs applied to the model. These are the 2 Pilots I would be most interested in being converted to rear facing, I can then apply them to turrets or rear gunner positions ( in theory hahahaha) I would also include the German pilot that Geezer did, but for some unknown reason he never did one with an oxy mask, which seems a little strange , but I guess he had his reasons !! Italian Euro Pilot.7z RAF Euro Pilot Oxy.7z

Family deaths always bring the horrible out in people, good luck with your house hunting !!

cheers buddy, I REALLY do hate the gunner models they are dire, so bad in fact they can make the aircraft look terrible !!!

Oh how I wish I was able to do the 3d modelling side of things !!

Hmmmmm Geezer seems to be AWOL, any one else a pilot modeller, its my mission in life to free SF/FE from the awfulness that are the in sim gunners, most of them look like they have an extra large cucumber rammed up their jacksies !!! Please help me free out sim form thes abominations....ANYBODY ???!!!!????!!!!!

Nothing in the Weapons packs ?
