Welcome back to the madness that is scale modelling mate, I', currently working on a 1/48 AFV Club late production Tiger myself. then I have a pile of Meng and Mini Art armour to do .....happy days !!

That's much clearer. Really appreciate your help. Thank you again 

No problem, apologies for not being more descriptive ......any other probs please feel free to message me and I shall endeavour to assist if I am able

Yeah I suppose, I personally dont bother with it, as not all aircraft were fitted with them, and some were , I thought it was more to do with the squadrons in theatre so to give correct squadrons for the year in question.....like I said I dont bother with the vanilla/67 versions

Following this procedure you will end up with another A-1H which is purely Vietnamese Air Force , I hope this explains what to do , sorry I am totally crap at explaining stuff , if you are still stuck message me and I will walk you through how to get it up and running .

the distinction of the 67 version etc. is not an issue , there is to the best of my knowledge zero difference between an A-1H and and A-1H  67 why TK did this I fail to really understand , anyhow . So to install just drop the whole file  into your saved game file , so sounds go in the sound file, and objects go in the objects file , you will then need to copy the pertinent files from the existing A-1H ( the one already in your save game ie the one that is vanilla with the game ) so the Cockpit.ini, the  Avionics.ini loadout, userlist , and the all important A-1H. ini, which you will need to rename to A-1H VNAF.ini  this will then allow your new Spad to be flown as a VNAF spad , and will show on your aircraft selection screen as A-1H VNAF so you end up with a similar file structure to this :- 

rename the first .INI in the above list to to A-1H VNAF.INI

[AircraftData]
AircraftFullName=A-1H Skyraider   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< CHANGE THIS TO A-1H (VNAF) Skyraider  
AircraftShortName=A-1H
AvionicsDataFilename=A-1H_AVIONICS.INI
CockpitDataFile=A-1H_COCKPIT.INI
AircraftDataFile=A-1H_DATA.INI
LoadoutFile=A-1H_LOADOUT.INI
UserList=A-1H_USERLIST.INI

Oh Yeah baby !!  Good job dude !! 

Thats what we are so proud of being like on this site matey !!! 

Theoretically yes, however getting at least the NA dlc is recommended, however as I said you cannot go far wrong with buying all the expansions, Vietnam, israel, and Europe , then getting all the DLC packs as some add on aircraft are actually dependant on the DLC aircraft, to enable them to work, I have the whole lot myself, and it is a worthwhile buy, even if the Sim is getting on in years . I appreciate not everyone can afford the whole shooting match in one fell swoop, however I would advise buying them all, slowly if that is your only financial option. Go to the Thirdwire site and check if the complete edition is still on sale, worth the money if it is, I would also recommend FE 2 as well also a superb simulation for early aircraft , and well supported by mods on this here site !! 

NA expansion is a must have really mate, then again all the add on packs are  if you can afford the whole kit and kaboodle, including all the DLC aircraft from the Third Wire site , mot sure if the complete edition is still on sale , but if it is and you can afford it, it is worth a buy !! I dont remember which aircraft are included in the DS mod , however you can find third party modded aircraft and ground equipment in the downloads section of the site here 

Works fine on Win 10 , dont hold yer breath on TK pulling his finger out of his bum to release the Win 10 version anytime soon

I do still play FE 2 , though not lately as I am having a break from FE/SF for a little while. Yes I use Edwards Flanders , and most definitely I would use an upgraded terrain as and when it becomes available 

Ok cool !! I wasn't aware , so I am most happy to be corrected

These diagrams are a little off aren't they ? if you look at the videos I posted, the outer 3/4 if the tailplane is pivoted, on the outer portion and acts as the elevator to the best of my knowledge the aircraft didn't have this sort of "conventional" elevator arrangement, it was more akin to an all flying tail, and the whole assembly was one continuous structure with no cutouts . Of course I may be wrong and they did utilise this arrangement on later models of the aircraft, however I would be surprised if they did do so , please do correct me if I am in error, as it is all a learning curve, and knowledge is happily accepted , as is me being told I am wrong, one learns through ones errors after all !! 

I likewise do not use the rifleman, it was merely a suggestion for a possible outcome, I use your Taube for pleasure flying lpersonally lol

The RFC and French did fly a few 2 seater variants as well, so if you do mange to do a 2 seater, then we could use Stephens rifleman mod for his Taube .

Sorry about the previous vid, the bloody commentator had verbal gob poops !! Also that Bleriot is I think a replica, however it displays a different tail profile to the one you are thinking about, maybe it was just the early XI's that had the small rudder/stabiliser ? Anyhow heres another vid of the Shuttleworth Collection Bleriot, which is original, and is the oldest airworth aircraft in the world, although they dont actually fly it per se, rather they do a short hop down the runway, which is understandable really considering its historical significance. Also there are some nice views of the Anzani engine as well at the start of the vid.

 As a little treat I found this replica Taube as well, I know its unrelated to the topic at hand, however.....................

A new one of these would be nice as well for the Galipoli Front

horrible things to fly apparently,  I watched a talk by a pilot at the Shuttleworth collection, where they have to only flying original Bleriot. At low speeds ( and lets be honest it wasnt exactly quick anyhow ) ie take off, and landing , the controls reversed . You have to admire the likes of Bleriot himself , who flew these nightmares ( although rather beautiful ones ) as none of them had any formal flight training, they just got in the thing and went for it, very brave or very reckless !! 

it would need to be re done from scratch, ie. a new model I would have thought. I think its quite an old model isn't it, I dont remember as I havent used it for ages.

you just need to resize the decals on the skin , the numeric value is incorrect it would seem, easy fix , just go into the skin file , and find the decal placements that are affected and reduce the size of those decals . it only looks to be the roundels that are off, so only adjust those , the fin flash and the serial numbers look to be ok, so leave those alone.

nope not really , mine works just fine, as does FE 2

Ahh there you go, that looks more like it

I thought it was a BTR 50 at first, but the nose is too short however it could be a specialist vehicle from the BTR 50 family, I have seen a modified medivac one with the front shortened like the one in the photo

Getting a bit pissed off with TK and his bullshit. Either he is going to release a win 10 version, or not, just wish the twat would make up his damn mind instead of fucking about , and quit milking the damn think like a milch cow !!
