i think I read in an earlier thread that for some reason you could change the ini file and it would still be a F-4..will work on finding something out.OK i tried to edit the options ini file and nothing..might try and ask TK if he can help in this one.

theres a beta version out with support for SF and SDOE....Here you go :D http://hyperfighter.jinak.cz/download.php?...=hlpro29169beta

yes thats right...wish we had an auto. transfer like IL2,but until then we all just gotta add the skins. :D

I was wondering if theres a way to make the canopy to where it opens?I mean when you're on the tarmac and taxi to the runway or after you land and are taxiing back to the hanger or to your hardstand it woud be nice to be able to raise the canopy while you taxi.

Thanks..

I found a second 312th skin and was wondering if I could use a second skin by just naming it say 3VMFA312thb to something like that.

The aircraft modelled in this sim are very hardy as they were designed for carrier landings,so the gear and struts had to be overbuilt as thay discribe a carrier landing as a controlled crash.I not trying to argue(Honest!!) alot of my family has been pilots,in both the AF and the Navy( I know I tried to talk him out of it)..I had an Uncle that flew A-4s and I'm hoping to get him to take a look at this sim as he loved that aircraft,I have 2 cousins that currently fly,and another that flew and has sense gone to the civilian sector(money).I'll let yall know what he has to say as soon as I get him in front of the monitor. :D Also yes theres some things they need to change but this sim isn't that bad compared to some I've gotten.

would terrain be made the same way as Skins? I mean could you take the old desert terrain and just basically recover it with say a mountain skin?same with clouds or any other mods?and sense this sim uses the same basic technology as M$ FS can we start with say some terrain from it and just change it to fit out needs?

I love this sim already...Chief be sure to get the 312th Phantom skin...Semper Fi Bro.

Not sure about Lamespy but alot of us been flying at Hyperlobby and I haven't had any troubles there.Might give them a try.

heres the History page from the F-18 squadron page: http://www.wfix.net/Checkerboards/ pictures and written history of the "Checkerboards"and Thanks go ahead and send it if you don't mind.My e-mail is US95Dagger@yahoo.com or another one is dagger312@charter.net

take a look at this pic: http://www.wfix.net/Checkerboards/photos/F...8Uformation.jpg Heres another it's a squadron pic but teh nose is visible: http://www.wfix.net/Checkerboards/photos/F...312SqdPhoto.jpg Is it good enough to work from?Color pictures are hard to find but working on it! BTW I love the "The last of the Gunfighters".

OK I'm running Jeffs...gotta keep him hosting skins and mods!!

Opps ok I'll try yours too...I'm easy to get along with :D

Just remember that the radar doesn't have a IFF interigator(found that out when I shot my wingman down) so it will lock and track friendlies.I've started using the boresight mode more and more.Also the IRs will track ANY heat signature in it's seeker cone...I saw an F-4 fly in from my 2 o'clock and went in a nice stright line the missile just turned alittle and boom I killed a friendly.leason learned....

Man that 312th F-4 skin is so sweet,now when they release the F-8 I'm making my request now,for a 312th skin for it..I'll try to find some pics.OK please!! 8)

already got it as it was suggested in the skin :D I'm SOOOoooo happy

Thanks I got it and I must say it looks"Marvelous!!"

Oh no!! Link won't work!! Please help an OLD man!!My old heart won't take this!

I'm getting ready to bring the VMFA-312 to ST.if you're interested let me know by PM.Theres already a skin made for the 312th,look in teh skins and mods forum at a thread named"a skin request"

Thanks!! I'm waiting for madjeff to post it so I can download it...I'll get some screenies and post them for everyone to see your work!

Guess I'm going to have to actually read the manual....it's like instructions for putting things to gether I hate to use them until I'm in big trouble,ask my wife she has put up with it for many years,and little comments like"That doesn't like anything like whats on the box"doesn't help! :D

We have the right planes so why not? hey you modders hows about a challenge maybe a carrier from that era. I mean with working cats and arrestor hooks...I'm not asking for people on the deck or anything like that but something we could use in both single and MP.Look at Janes F-18 for a reference.

agreed the f4 manual is great...no kidding I had a lock in a high-G turn(just starting to get the black-out effect) and missile wouldn't launch..even with a lock and target was bracketed.came off the stick and unloaded and it fired fine(I got thte kill also) :D

If you belong to a squadron this has been "beat" in your head over and over.."learn your bird..it's strenghts and weaknesses,it's systems..both offensive and defencive"learn it's best turn rates and speed and it's max speed..level and in a climb,with ABs and without.weapon employment ranges.This is mostly a reminder for me to practice what I preach.
