Back up, back up, back up....remember the last time!!!!!!!!

well thats what it was there, Yoda. But I see complaining about it, brought release of the latest patch with the fix for that...LMAO...now thats service!!!

So, did TK and/or crew ever figure out the BMP patch thing for the A-4's sqn in the drop down list for squadron assignments? I have been advised I need a bmp 32X32 patch for them to show up. They belong in the USN, USMC folders.Thanks.

Dfang, I must be the only one. Everything looks correct in the wepsdataini and the editor, all files bmp's, lod's are in the weps folder. However they do not show up in the loadouts. Only shows the silver tanks. Do changes have to be made to the AC loadout INI also? Thanks.

Erik, thats a negative. Still the same with MSN. Go figure. Must be something on my end.

Pancho, I got em on the F-100D by making these entries in the decal INI. I didnt try other aircraft. Perhaps this will assist you. If I recall its 4 per mesh, so maybe thats why they wont show on other aircraft. // Killmarks [Decal011] MeshName=fuselage_front DecalLevel=3 DecalFacing=LEFT FilenameFormat=kill Position=5.24,0.00 Rotation=00.0 Scale=0.55 DecalMaxLOD=2

Congrats PT. Now let me get my ale and smokes. By the look of the read me, I'll be here for a while. 2313hrs here. This is a bit of alright. Now get your butt outta bed, its only 0413hrs where you are...LOL.

Hi Nova, little rusty eh? Happens to the best. CA has a new look and a expanded knowledge data base. It very possible many questions can be answered by checking there. Most if not all of the featured AC should work in all. :yes:

As I had previously stated I will advise on my findings re:YAP. I mentioned frame rate hits. I know from previous experience in SF/WOV some of the stock and addons missions did the same thing. To me at least. I am not a PC pro. I dont know a diode from a crystal. I will tell you that a low end system will take some hits from some of the missions. But its the same: turn off the mirrors, shadows, etc, lower your graphics settings a notch and you'll be just peachy. Hell, take a second to look at your pretty plane and your gonna get smoked. Your trying to survive and get home, not critique the paint job."Hours of dull monotony, sprinkled with a few seconds of stark terror". I dont recall what pilot made that observation.

Regarding the YAP missions. A couple more things. There are actual Recon photos and briefs included with each mission. The missions are laid out as originally planned, and these are real life missions. There is room for improvision if you so desire to try and survive. Dont get cocky. I found out the hard way not seeing the the boys and girls in the black pajamas near cover of a hut, air condition my A-4 with AK-47's. The man said if you hang around they will run for their guns. I assigned targets and ordered a second pass. They got their guns. I got out but another of my flight wasnt as lucky. Just like it happened in the real mission.

I have been testing YAP along with others for Zerocinco. One of the criteria was to own Suzie Q on vinyl.... LOL. Thus far I find YAP to be accurate and entertaining as a sim will allow using the parameters that Zerocinco has set forth. One thing I noticed about the missions and toys is not getting my frame rate beat to crap. Perhaps that will change as the missions get more intense. I will let you know, and the reasons thereof if I can. I have no interest other than doing it because I enjoy it. Just as much as I enjoy the forums and doing my beginners attempts at making and sharing some mods with all of you. One of my functions is to make certain that ANYTHING that is in YAP has been approved for use. In fact, some of it has been purchased and created. So my list is quite short. So everyone please relax on that issue. (hell, she's got some of my stuff too! Bill Cosby, Himself). If anyone has questions regarding the YAP missions, or toys, I will try to answer them within the scope of my knowledge, or defer you to someone who can. I will not enter into any debate regarding it. No comment, or I do not recall will be my standard reply if baited. I have made friends here. Hell, I've even drank beer with some of you. I hope to keep that and lines of communication intact. We shall see.

Erik, Did as u instructed. Security on medium. WinXP. Got the lo-fi version of CA. Still would not allow a log in. This was using MSN, yeah that thing with the butterfly...lol. Using my regular SBC I get in with no problem. Just for snicks, I tried my other pc. Same thing. Its a plot, I betcha. Hope this helps.

USAFMTL, I feel there is a need to address the INI dances regarding application of Airfield Lighting and Objects on same. Polak, Fubar512, Sidewinder86, Baffmeister, Piett and Dfang to name a few, have the knowledge thereof. Please consider a spot in the knowledge database for these mods here at CA. I have seen a couple of query's by newcomers and veterans that could definately benefit from it. 06/29/06: Upon further contemplation of the request, you can disregard. The technical aspects really do not warrant it. Any need for advice can be given hither and yon in the forums. Thank You.

LMAO...and you had the unmitigated gall to call me blindo......get your red/white striped keyboard...LMAO..and start tap,tap,tap your way to the options settings.....you knew it was coming Rob... .....LMFAOROTF.....

Erik, I had the same prob when trying MSN. You keep getting returned to the log in screen after logging in to log in....dog chasing tail. No error msg, just keeps sending u back to the log in screen. I said the heck with it and used another browser.

Simply put, you cant get around it. There are too many subtle differences in the sims. The airfields alone may look exactly alike aside from the sand/jungle, but they are not when you start to get around to fine tuning. Desert vs Vietnamsea. Some of it will work, and some of it simply will not. Improvements by the designers have brought these sims to a higher level. You start messin around trying to swap CATS and you will unwantingly become very intimate with the knowledge data base. Save yourself a lot of Excedrin and get the SFP1. :)

Somebody has got to learn to hold still!! ....LMAO

..LOL...must be some Iraq crude in those tanks, they didnt want to accept my AX card....Its the mission that comes with the KC-130 tanker mod, ( see AC download section) I just changed the Aircraft since I'm a WOV type of guy. You can make your own mission with the tanker in it.

It must be me, but is the site no longer accepting RAR or 7Zip as uploads? I'm getting an error msg stating the type of file is not on the list of approved files. Hmmmm??

t/t Fates he sez should work. Tried again winrar then7 zip, no joy. Any suggestions?? since I see others are not having any problems. Advised Fates of same. Thanks. I swear I'll get the koegels..... OK, working now. 2128hrs EDT Seems there was a misnomer in the file. So the fail-safe worked and I didnt catch it. Thanks to you, Fates and Erik. Your system wouldnt accept it and correctly so. Well Done!!

thanks, Baff.

??? Where'd it go? is it being updated??
