Sundowner

Don't worry....B happy...

Like Menrva said, it's usually a gpu ram problem, get some program that lets you see your cpu/gpu usage in game. I run an 8gb Radeon RX580 & sometimes I max it out, too many hi res textures or just too many textures in general soon add up........I have 670 terrain textures and those alone are quite a load before we even get to any object textures.

Check pm's guys.

I thought it was.....but even so I wont have done an SW coded bird......mainly old Vietnam era or AR coded for Alconbury. I'll have a better look tomorrow, I might have something you can use......

Pretty sure I did......somewhere....

What a crap day !!!! Encountered a SAM, Got a hung bomb, Refuel probe wont retract, 2 miles out lost electrics.....RAT deployed, Then the tower tell me half the runway is closed & I've only got 4000 Ft use-able. This runway is like glass when its wet....... Oh, did I mention it's raining aswell ???

Blimey, I thought I'd done those years ago.

You might as well, or the "historical accuracy " gang will be on your back mate. The re-enforcement plates started to show up in late 72 .

As far as I am aware, they were " in theatre" trails aircraft.

Are the crew too small ? or the model too big ? Something looks a little strange to me.

For the skins to show by just clicking on the LOD you need to have the actual skin files "loose" in the same folder as the lod itself, not in a skins folder. Otherwise you have to go through the lod viewer but first you can either add the skin folder manually to the aircrafts main .ini or run the game to add it automatically.

Proper, quality work.

Very old stuff sent to me by wpnssgt.......

@ Daddyairplanes, You are right, I've been more and more pissed off over the last 12 months or so but it all stems from the same basic thing & that is the overwriting of someone else's work, sure, if you dont agree with the colours,decals fonts or whatever of a particular model, then certainly go ahead and make your own, that's why I've uploaded so many templates over the years, I've wanted folks to do their own thing and upload them for us all to use but I did'nt intend them to replace my original work like has been done too many times. I was hoping for multiple uploads of the same skin in different users versions of what they feel the best colours etc are, it's called freedom of choice. And that's exactly how it used to be done, we all had respect for each others work, there was no need to try to "compete" as it seems now. In the F-15 thread you basically said that I'd used a colour picker on a photo to get a colour reference, LOL, Trust me I've never done that! But I've done just about every else, fs numbers, hex values & god knows what else. (try skinning on a monitor calibrated for photography work, that will really mess with your head) But I can state for a fact that if lets say five of us used exactly the same Hex values or fs colour chip on a skin, at least one of us would say that the colour looked a little "off", not wholly wrong but just now how they would have chosen it to look....hence the need for more of this variety as apposed to the ego pushed version of things we've been seeing just lately. Also what I dont want to happen here is for folks to think that there is a rift between me and you, because in my view there is not. You know why I decided to stop uploading any more work, but seeing as you've done a huge amount of work on the MF factory Boeing 707 and C-135 series of birds I'm going to use you as an example but users please be aware that this happens all over the downloads. My statement is how would you feel if tomorrow I re-released a full on remodelled and remapped version of 707's & C-135's and did it so that ALL of your hard work was to be overwritten as it's junk/crap less "historically accurate" Like I said DA this is'nt aimed at you personally there's a few offenders on here and they know who they are. But lets move on, my health is screwing me over a bit more just lately as some of you know, but with the recent announcement from Gkabs to take a look at redoing some of the older models we've been in contact with a view of me supplying some of the many max files I have sitting on various drives for him and his team to work their magic on so hopefully we'll be seeing new not a re-hash of my poor old 20 year old attempts. Btw any of you want to make custom brushes etc for the likes of nostep/nopush marks weathering or anything it's really easy to do just ask.......just think of all those little yellow marks on JASDF planes......loads easier than copying layers.
