Yeah no problems man, and he's been on convalescent leave for awhile, and recently got a month extra, so he's chillin like a real villian. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the file is in MAX2 format, so conversion shouldn't be too difficult.... :) So seriously if anybody's interested, PM me, and I'll send it over. There's a lot of issues with somebody buying a model and the issues associated wiht it. So far I got MAX9 trial version, and since the plugin for LO is for MAX7, even if I had some skillz (which isn't much right now, still shaking some of the rust off) I wouldn't be able to insert it, which is why I'm asking. I've done plenty of modelling, just that software constraints has me halted.

He's doing allright, he's had some pins inserted his back so he's just hanging out at home. But.... I think we're getting confused on skins.... I don't remember an ACU patterned skin ever done by me, somebody else I think?.... Oh no the digital pattern was done by somebody else, you can get it on the virtual JaboG site, I don't remember who did that one since I really don't have the patience for some reason for digital patterns...

Yeah it's crap and USAFMTL was very clear on that (and it's of course obvious) so the pics that Marcfighter posted are definitely better. As far as actual flight it's right there with the Tomcat and Su-33 so I'm set on the current settings. The new model is going to require a new FM but more than likely I'll have to set it as it is now, as really it just needs a much better model.

:D It's not actually MARPAT (markings are actually that of VF(A)-213 "Black Lions").... it's pretty much the same pattern applied to the Tomcats (Dark Ghost Grey), and looks alot better in LOMAC than in WoE, much better rendering. But yeah, I changed after the Ubi Forums. I figure a new name, face so to speak everywhere else would help. I'm still a moderater there, but haven't been there in ages. I figured the hell I caused, I should become another common poster again, sorta to humble myself back, but I kept the old handle when I logged into Combatace long ago... But yeah I figured I'd just lurk as I'm really waiting for BS to come around to maybe get back into the tutorial stuff. So much is expected out of this one, so I'm on a wait-and-see approach. Yes, the model is in .max format and yes, if there's any plane I'd replace my beloved Su-33 with, is this. I love the Tomcat, but after a bit of flying with it in WoE (USAFMTL sent me a real crappy one) it's been my A+ A2G aircraft so it should be different in LOMAC, but IMO better in some cases due to the better FM than the less fidelity one in WoE, and skinning opportunities... And yes Disso I think the -F looks alot better, I've always liked two-seaters in some cases, and this one qualifies. There's an E also on TurboSquid, but right now one thing at a time I guess.. As for the stage... it's in .max format. The screenie previous was one for Combatace, as initially I was intending to put that in Wings Over Europe after no joy here. Well one thing leads to another, and somebody shows me a better model (much cleaner than the one here, but that's after being modified for WOE) so I go with him. I got the original file from TurboSquid so this one is more like a "hey would you mind?". It's paid for, and just taking up space.

haha that's a good point :D, thanks!

Erm yeah, I bought this model, not actually did it unfortunately... so.....

Well I did.... so anybody interested?

A good suggestion is to never delete your .cmd files. Backup backup them if you do anything. Never know when you may need to re put back stuff in....

Man if there's one thing I enjoy about these forums, ask one question, get five hundred replies... moving on... :thumbup:

This is what I'm working on, of course the texture only :D It's not too bad, unfortunately I don't have a real one to go off of, but I enjoy flying it :)

Yes, and that's why I'm starting to play Wings Over Europe. Sure yeah okay, the FM isn't the best (as well as alot of things compared to LOMAC), but least when I strap myself in an F-14, I have an F-14 cockpit and F-14 this and that. Sure there's limitations, but really, sometimes you just gotta do something else.

Actually Viper101, if you check out Airliners.net, you can see quite a few A-10s with sports emblems on them (one of my reference pics has the Red Sox emblem, along with other bits prominently on them). Matter of fact there's a couple old reference files I used from TwoBobs for one of my CAW-Carrier Ops that one F-14 had "GO NAVY" while the other had "BEAT ARMY" so it appears every so often on various military aircraft. Generally speaking, the military is about competition, so naturally for sports teams to sometimes appear on aircraft or other items isn't too surprising, since sports by it's nature is compettitive.

Okay, I figured as much but had to ask anyways, thanks! ;)

Yeah but unfortunately it's Mon-Friday. Believe me dude, weekends is the only thing I live for...

I was curious, does the original model file (like the F/A-18C) have to be a .lom file to have an associated .skins file attached to it correct?

Yeah and every shits when I make a crack comment :thumbup:

Nah I'm just tired and cranky today (or most people will say like almost everyday, but hey I work with trainees :( ) so fine fine I apologize.

Yeah sorry just a pet peeve really. I mean I know he meant well, but sometimes.. anyways..

I usually try to lurk and comment every once in awhile, but it really pisses me off when somebody says "look in the manual" For chrissake just tell him/her what the key command is, no matter how simple. It's called looking out for the nuggets. Besides this is one of the best, somewhat mature communities online, and just telling him to look in the manual is just plain rude. Nuggets learn from those who just answer the most (sometimes) stupid question and treating them like they're retards doesn't train anybody right.

Well I've known that since Flanker 2.51 but when you have limited options on the Su-33 you use what you can in lieu of true ARMs ;)

Looks alot better mitch789, thanks! :thumbup:

Hrm... is that a good hint? If that's the case.. then sure :)

Much as I love the Su-33, I'm starting to like the Super Bug alot, and well, was seriously considering buying a 3DSMAX model and asking permission to use. Only thing is that A) I have 3DSMAX 3.1 and B) don't have any experience in modelling aircraft. So my real question is, if I spend the money will somebody spend the time to replace the Su-33 with the Super Hornet?

Nope unfortunately not, I've been too busy to stop by the Kremlin and attend the meetings, so if you wouldn't mind faxing me a copy of the papers, It'd be much appreciated :D Seriously though, that bad?

Lock On FC 1.12a Just regarding the GBU-16. Can't change the texture either through CDDS or through the Bazar/TempTextures directory.
