There are two, yes you read it right, TWO topgun skins at Marcfighters located here...http://www.marcfighters.hpg.ig.com.br/index.htm

LOL! Well, cleared up that mystery, hehehe. I can tell this poor fellow is DYIN' to tell us...LOL! THAT would be rough.

Just had to blab didnt you? Hopefully they dont rough you up too bad...

Several times I have hosted a game on HL. In game all goes pretty well, though the framerates are mediocre. Then when I try to leave, all I get is a blank, black screen. I can sometimes see my mouse curser but often not. If I hit enter a few times, I can see activity on the HD light on my comp, but still the screen. I have to cntl-alt-del to restart the computer or use reset button. I had the same problem once in gamespy, (only time I tried gamespy). I am running P3 1ghz CPU 320 mb pc-133 ram intel 815E chipset Shuttle AE-22 MoBo Radeon 8500LE w/64MB DDR vidRam SB Live! X-gamer 5.1 :? :(

NDA? Ok Hollywood, ya got me there, mystery of the week. What is NDA? :?

Yeah, almost like a "near stall" effect. I agree, it would be a nice realism addon, espesially with force feedback.

fellas, a nice skin found at McFly Aviation. The page is here... http://www.bobsyouruncle.net/StrikeFighterSkins.htm This looks cool...

Agreed, but this is something I DO hope they consider adding. It would be a shame to not eventually have the capability if we desire.

You made a good point Ranger. I do go with whatever the server/host decides are the rules for the game. No vulching rule?, then no vulching. I just like to comment on all those that dont think it is a real tactic.

Im about as technical as a canopener so I'll leave this stuff to you boys. From the sounds emanating from your posts I think your on to something. I agree with SD, any change to make things more realistic is a change for the better. I had noticed that the MiG-17 did seem awfully powerful. Good catch Column5.

This would be a nice addition to the game, having this multiplayer skin transfer capability. Make it another step towards being first class and competition for other sims.

Found a Tutoril on editing Decals here...http://www.bobsyouruncle.net/StrikeFighterHome.htm, Will study it tonite...

DK, according to the Skunkworks project list THEY are doing, there is an F-8 Crusader in the works. I agree with you that that plane along with the A-7 are pretty much "must haves" for the era. It didnt show an A-7 however. When I was on the Uss Independance we had two squadrons of A-7E's on board, VA-15 "Valions", and VA-87 "Golden Warriors". It was interesting to watch them tear up our towed "target spar" with thier cannon and bombs. Being the Boatswainmate in charge of the Target spar however meant I always had to haul in that riddled, waterlogged hunk of worthless metal after they were done with it... Those were cool birds, I'd love to fly one in this game.

Anyone hear anything on this?

That book looks good Sith, my kind of readin material. I will look that one up. Did you ever read Tom Clancy's Sum of all Fears? That was a great novel there let me tell you...hehehe. Hey sixmillion, a clerk at Wherehouse records gave me this website to visit that lists all the current releases on DVD and VHS. It is called the "Internet Movie DataBase" and can be found at www.imdb.com. Check them out...

I'm startin to like this guy, hehehe.

Drool...slobber...salivate... RATS! My keyboard! Its all yur fault coyote... Nice job pal. With art like that, a lot more people will be interested in flying the migs all of a sudden. Hey, I wont get shotdown in no sloppy looking model by george. I only die in first class aircraft! This is DEFINATELY first class.

My vote is for direct TCP/IP connection and also dont forget the capability to be a server. Too many dweebs on gamespy, this is common knowledge in the gaming community.

A story in pics hehehe. Now I'd like to make a movie...

Coyote, that is definately my favorite skin! I Love it pal. :D Sorry I didnt add your name for the credit but by the time my 56K got me back to biohaz and I posted, I forgot your name... :0) Good job pal. A suggestion, how about some skins for the Mig-19 and -21's. I got some snazzy Mig-17 skins from MajorLee's aerodrome already. Just need something to spruce up the rest of my mig fleet. 8)

Hi Aggie, TK is working on the flak and explosions, hopefully the AI pilots and radar too. There are some problems here, but as I understand the patch is due very soon so hang in there. The rest of your questions will have to wait for someone who wants to look thru the manual or knows these aircraft better.

LOL! Dontcha love it when yur airplane TALKS to you? Like ya dont get enough sqauwkin at home, now ya cant get enough altitude even to get away from it, Hehehe...

Got your answer SD in the general discussion forum, thanks. P.S. I have some loading BMP's and Hanger BMP's for the Mig-17, -19, and -21's which I made flyable if anyone is interested. I am NOT an artist and only had Paint to use, but they turned out usable for me. They can always be tweaked by you also. Also, FYI, I used the A-4 cockpit and avionics for the Mig-17, and -19. I used the F-104 cockpit and avionics for the Mig-21's of which there are 3 versions. Seems to work pretty good.

I dont know if you fellas know about this aircraft or not. But I was parusing the forums and come upon a post by Major Lee telling about some great new Mig skins on his website. Well I suantered on over there and viola! there they were as pretty as you please. A fella made 3 real nice looking Camo Mig skins that you gotta see. On top of that, Major Lee has a FLYABLE SU-7B! I unzipped it into the appropriate folders, (Make sure you read the readme, vital), and fired up the game. There was even a SU-7 launch page in the single player mode. The plane flew great and looked great although it uses the F-100 cockpit. I flew a C.A.P. mission and nailed 4 F-100's with guns only! Am I good or what? The plane looked good with a black skin with in this case Russian markings. Now if we can get better AI pilots that join in the fight and dont just fly circles, we'll be stylin". 8) His website is http://www.majorlee.net/.

Thanks SD, Thats what I was hoping. The A-4's A2G radar in the Mig-19 is a good choice I suppose since it can do ground attack. I dont know if it actually had such a thing though...
