Listen buddy this isn't about me, this is about the Mike Force Team yewls

Aerges you really gonna leave the whole team hanging? yewls

G, TF-G, C, and big block A would be my ideal variants

Not trying to wade into the fight here but in the spirit of correctness that jet is actually carrying a napalm bomb on its centerline - there were no centerline fuel tanks on the Zipper.

that would probably be epic

The F-104G should have the underside catamaran launcher for a pair of AIM-9s, used most prominently in Norwegian and Japanese service. My understanding is that the F-104J used in Japan was a license-built F-104G by Mitsubishi, just missing the A/G functions of the NASARR F-15 radar

Thanks for the quick response - what model RWR, and whose jets were these installed on? If you can say at this point in development, will the Zipper have a similar granularity of model/equipment variation that the F-1 has?

Looks great Fausete! Enlighten me, what are the 3 light bulbs on the right side over the glare shield, Radar Warning gear? I haven't seen those on any pictures of an F-104

Hey guys, friendly shake of the tree here, eager to find out more about which variant(s) of the Zipper we can expect to see. Can't wait regardless yewls

thank you, the community needs answers!!!1!!

Hey tripod, is this Badger-C ever going to see inclusion in the modpack?

Awesome work! I presume you’ve seen this page out of Yefim Gordon’s Soviet Strategic Aviation in the Cold War describing what you’ve shown, pretty cool

that isn't the stock Bear is it? @Tomcatter87

If we get a C then we must have white walls null

Anyone else having issues with the Forrestal? I have AI taxiing up to hold short of cat 2 and freezing there

Does anyone know how to remove these stencils when making skins for the F-15? As shown in the picture below, I'm referring to the American flag roundel, the crew name, and the low-vis USA roundel that's imposed on top of the high-vis one. I'm pretty sure they come from the default Lakenheath skin. They don't show up in the f15_nose skin file nor the f15_decol file, and seem to be pasted on only when I load the skin up in the sim. Any help?

Once a Fighter Pilot by Jerry Cook is a great read as well - went from a FAIP to the first USAF F-4 squadron and served a tour in Vietnam

Sully is good, for the -E I think Robin after Robin Olds would be good. Spartan after Willie Driscoll in the grey Phantom would be great too imo

Trying to get the greasy, beat-down look of NE204 from the picture below ... as you can see my "technique" for weathering really amounts to lightly airbrushing along panel lines and areas where there would be hydraulic actuators. What tips do you guys have for more varied/detailed weathering?

No worries, hope they get around to fixing it

Yep, been like this since launch

We must've had a mind meld this week mate, I was working on those the night before I saw yours show up on user files - that S-3 template makes my brain hurt. Happy to see CVW-2 almost done, now we just need skins for the A-6, SH-3, and uh ... *checks notes* A-3

Question - if I need to paint over the baked in rivets and panel lines, is there a way for me to grab them from the template and paste them back in over the paint? I've been able to figure it out with the F-5, but haven't had luck with the F-14. Thanks! Also, have been messing around trying to recreate the beat-to-shit, hydraulic fluid covered, partial hood jets of VF-111 during their 1983 cruise on the Carl Vinson, as seen in this video.

Approved as requested - looks sick!
