Welcome to the club. Move on to SF2 and you will feel just 10 years late into that game.

Get well soon!

If the model calls for BMP, it first looks for BMP, but also uses JPG, if BMP is not available. It's been that way for years. Be aware though: If you want to redo stock-skins (for example: those "USNGrey1"- or "USAFSilver1"-folders) and the TW's model looks for BMP, you have to redo your new skins in BMP, because otherwise the older skins are taken from the CAT-archives - these are BMP and are then priorized over JPG in your MOD-folder.

View File SF2 EF-10B_CAF UpdatePack SF2 EF-10B_CAF UpdatePack v1.0 ============================== *** Tested in full 5-merged installation *** This is an Update for: SF2 F3D-2/EF-10B Skyknight by Coyote Aerospace 1.0.0 and you will need to download and install it first. The UpdatePack includes 2 parts: 1. Skins-only ------------- 4 new skins in 4k (resize to your liking if needed) for the EF-10B-variant that comes with the original-mod by CAF: VMCJ-1 Golden Hawks, Da Nang AB, ca. 1966 (6 planes*) VMCJ-1 Golden Hawks, Da Nang AB, 1969 (6 planes*) VMCJ-2 Playboys, MCAS CHerry Point, 1959 (6 planes) VMCJ-3, MCAS El Toro, ca. 1957 (9 planes) * VMCJ-squadrons were composite-squadrons, that means, that they used a mix of different planes. Usually these were RF-8 Crusaders, RF-4B Phantoms and later EA-6A Electric Intruders. So VMCJ-1, when based in Da Nang AB, had only 6 EF-10Bs. BuNos are correct for the planes and squadrons and mostly for the given timeframe. 2. Optional Files ----------------- My take on a rework of the EF-10B-variant, that comes with the original-mod by CAF. The mapping of the model was challenging, so some areas on the skins are as is. I also did some new 3D-parts to add more details and get rid of mapping issues (new pylons, new droptanks, some antennas). By default the Antenna-set for the standard-EF-10B, called "Whale", is selected. By 1967 some planes where upgraded to the "Super Whale"-variant by adding different antennas and upgrading some electronics. You can select the version you like in the loadout-menu. Unpacking and installation: =========================== !!! IMPORTANT !!! !!! Backup your EF-10B_CAF planefolder! !!! 1. Skins only-Installation -------------------------- 1. Unpack ALL zip-files to a temporary directory 2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your MOD-Folder, which should contain the original EF-10B-mod by CAF! 3. Thats it! 2. Skins + optional Files ------------------------- 1. Unpack ALL zip-files to a temporary directory 2. open "Put_Contents_In_Your_MOD_Folder" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your MOD-Folder, which should contain the original EF-10B-mod by CAF! 3. open "Optional Files" from the temporary folder and copy the contents you want to your MOD-Folder, which should contain the original EF-10B-mod by CAF! 3. if asked to overwrite, say 'yes' (EF10B_data.ini, F3D_userlist.ini and EF10B_loadout.ini WILL be overwritten) 4. Thats it! Credits ======= - Coyote Aerospace (CAF), Wrench, AngelP - Mod-Pack this is based upon. - me - template, skins, decals, ini- and 3D-work of tanks, antennas, pylons P.S. ==== This MOD or parts of it may not be included in any PAYWARE-packs, PAYWARE-mods or whatever.

End of the Line - EF-10B Super Whale Last upgrade to the EF-10B. Visible differences to the regular EF-10B were the Wireantenna and the steerable antenna between the Exhaustpipes.

Citing Osprey Combat Aircraft 143's closing line... "...for an aircraft, that is arguably the most unsung hero of its two major wars." For some reason this one has a special place in my heart, so I had to polish it a bit. Thanks to CAF for the model.

For me personally it's not about giving hate. I know, that being a bit more chill probably would have made things easier. What can I say... It was a mix of confusion, little knowledge on my side how to handle reappearing files correctly and the feel, that I was misunderstood on what my issue was. Nevertheless, I am sorted. Thanks to all involved for clearing things up and sorting things out.

The point is, that I am NOT seeing them after I was hiding them. That was the reason, I reuploaded some of my stuff a while ago, because I had NOT seen them anywhere. To my surpise A LOT of the hidden stuff was up again lately. A-4- and A-1-templates were now twice in the download-section and the templates for the old OV-10-model and Kuwait-A-4 should simply be gone, because my decision. If that lead to confusion, I am sorry. P.S. My trust here is a bit shattered, so yeah...

These should be removed. First ones are outdated, templates are twice in the downloadsection and the last ones should be simply removed.

Hi there, I had a look at my released mods and some of them are outdated and already remade in better quality or are not useful anymore. I haven't found something to simply delete my old stuff. Do I miss something? I have used the "hide"-function in the past, as this was the closest I could find, but lately the hidden stuff reappeared without any notification...

Hey GSantini, thank you very much for this update. I always thought about your dad and what might have happened to him. I still have the old conversations with him here, were he gave me valueable advice about my A-4M-mod. And it encouraged me as a little noone, that one of the "big names" around here, liked and supported my work. But after some time, he wasn't around anymore. I will remember him well! RIP 331Killerbee

My first flight in over a year - The mission was pure chaos and I mourn the loss of my wingman. While attacking a lonely radarstation in the middle of nowhere, he got hit by an also lonely AAA nearby. Nevertheless I then made it back on the boat...not the right boat, but well, the plane is in pristine condition! It was fun! Also I made some of the missing skins....we'll see, how it evolves. *shrug*

That was fast. Thanks! It works now.
