SayethWhaaaa

Awww, jeez... I even looked at that one in the knowledge base too! :slow(en): Cheers Buff! :blush2:

There's more than 1 F-14D in dev and recently I thought I saw one get released without permission but I think USAFMTL wiped it, only in the last few days.

This is an outstanding model! Stop reading this and fly it now!!!!! mdelmast = Total bloodychamp!! WOOT!!

Seriously, it ain't just the Texans, your whole damn country is crazy!!! I was in San Fran a few months ago and there was some kind of fair or fete at Union Square where there were a couple of chilli stalls. I should have known better than to sample them but I figured "Hey, it's gonna be a while before I'm back here again, why not?" I think I hit the deck by the time I tried the second sample. My girlfriend laughed her ass off because it took me a few days to be able to form words again without dribbling out the side of my mouth. Don't get me wrong, the 3 seconds before all my senses shut down, it tasted brilliant! But then the searing, white hot pain of the chilli kicked in... I have no idea how you guys do it without blacking out, but mucho respect to you! I, on the other hand, shall not go within ten feet of another chilli stall again no matter how good it tastes! I still can't smell properly, bastards! I reckons y'all have asbestos stomachs or something. There's no other way...

Nice! Where is this museum?

Yeah, making your own is prolly the best way to go, unfortunately, it's a total pain in the ass! Hopefully, someone out there may have their own and will share it but more often than not it'll be up to you. I'm in a similar boat making a generic Mitsubishi F-2 temp but it's taking me forever but once you get it finished, it's the hardest part over with...

Neither that, nor a Lavi clone. This is a unique aircraft that is being developed by China to fit in with it's mass modernisation programs and it's need to be able to compete with the cheap, high technology platforms within the asia pacific (such as F-16, F/A-18, Mig-29, Mirage 2k, etc) and to a lesser degree on the global market. They've recieved quite a bit of support and development from various Israeli defence contractors and even though it looks like the IAI Lavi superficially but it's all new and high tech, but most importantly, it's mostly indigenous. China's making great strides to be on par technically with the rest of the world and with help from IAI, it's been able to do so pretty rapidly.

I've seen a lot of stuff out in that hot parani desert sun... maybe it's just a mirage... Okay, so no one digs really bad jokes about mirages and deserts. :p

Cheers CSB, just today I was wondering why my Chaff/Flares were only working with roughly half of my modded aircraft. SystemName[0xx]=Flare_Station SystemName[0xy]=Chaff_Station This^^ was the crucial piece I was missing. You're a champ!

Should be this one dude... http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/Plane_File_struc_4.html

Ooooooooooohhhhhhh! You guys never cease with the excellent models and skins! Top stuff!

^^Damn straight!

If that fox was black and porky (like 20 kgs porkier) it's look like what my mutt used to get away with at the Xmas bbq when no one was looking. She'd get too stuffed from just jumping up to reach the bbq these days Jeebus, the foxes you have there aren't a bit cheeky though, are they?

Here's the post I sent you via PM: "Hey, I figured while you were on I'd catch you before you left. All aircraft from SFP,WoV,WoE are interchangable because the games use the same engine. In fact, you can download desert maps for WoE or jungle maps for WoV and so on. I'll give you this link: http://www.thirdwire.com/projects/p1/rt_links.htm It's a little old now and about a third of the links don't work but you can find some good stuff from the ones that do work, like the Column5 site, or capun's skunkworks page. I personally like Gramps page only because I'm from Oz There's a newer list of links, if I can remember where it is, I'll post it for you." There are a few problems with DirectX and the service packs but they can be easily remedied by just downloading the problem file (usually its something similar to the d3dx9_28.dll file) Google the file that isn't working, download it and you can usually save yourself a re-install Since you're a Nugget, have a look at this: http://www.column5.us/newb.htm

I'm not sure about WOE but in SFG, if you don't equip with Lantirn before you sortie, some aircraft won't even release LGBs. I find it's usually with older aircraft that have been modded to use guided munitions. Also, if you're gonna drop them in a dive, you can do it from 1-2000 meters at about 5kms, you just have to be going slow otherwise you'll over shoot the target. By slow, I'm talking 500kph or under. You'll have to google those numbers if youwant them in imperial, I only know metric, soz

Cap, that's great work on both your flying wings!

Cheers dude, I might just take you up on that once I get things sorted with this list. I used to think there were quite a lot of models for this but you never realise how many until you try to hunt them al down...

I've been creating a list in a similar fashion to what you've done at SimHQ Wrench but I was thinking about creating something more along the lines of the colum5 SF Version Comparison Chart (http://www.column5.us/sfchart.htm) only problem is that there are a few models I'm positive I've seen but I just can't seem to find at the moment...

Fifth time lucky, eh? Looks like your insignia is too low on the X axis maybe? Have you edited this skin at all? Which model Mig-21 is it? If you head into the folder that has the skin, there should be a "decals.ini". You should see: [Decal004] MeshName=RightOuterWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=2.63,-1.99 <<------------ This should be the primo position for any decals Scale=1.5 <<-------- Decal size DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal005] MeshName=LeftOuterWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=TOP FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-2.63,-1.99 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 [Decal006] MeshName=LeftOuterWing DecalLevel=0 DecalFacing=BOTTOM FilenameFormat=Insignia Position=-2.63,-1.99 Scale=1.5 DecalMaxLOD=3 If they still overlap or are cut off at the flaps, maybe scale the size of the decal down a notch

I think part of the problem is that (with some of the models I've seen) your afterburner will point in your true direction as opposed to the pitch or yaw of your aircraft. I'm pretty sure you can see it in models like the F-16s when you change direction violenlty. I'll see if I can get you a screen cap for you...

Buying online's easy enough. It just depends on how quickly you want it. I mean (depending on where you are) I think it's about 7-10 days if you buy it online usually.

Unfortunately mine's a copy but I did the decent thing and nicked it from a guy I knew who pirated it for himself to prevent him from using it (I was bored and wanted some entertainment ) and, you know, to instill that sense of Karma... it didn't work though. He got his grubbies on another copy...

Yeah, last few times I tried that link it wouldn't work for me. Been having probs with my isp. I'll give it a go again soon...

LOL, all the top gun goodness without hearing a peep from Tom Cruise! Now if we could only take him outta the last samurai...

Awww... I knew that was gonna be the answer I've already started one but it just seem to take forever (for the F-2, not the F-4). Am I right in thinking this is one of the more time consuming components of skinning or do I just suck at this...?
