Am wondering if the smoke pod works on the Huey?

Looking forward to racin the Mi-8 I've flown the crap out of the Huey and have enjoyed every second of it and look forward to having another helicopter to fly and to race on the Virtual Aerobatics server! Can't wait to fly the crap out of this Mi-8. Thanks for the great Huey and I expect the Mi-8 to be awesome!

SVK_Fox while you are at it we have a beta version of our Tutor available on our website if you would like to the Tutor in the video instead of the A-10. :) Great job on the video, I think it does a great job of representing what went on at VFAT 2006.

What a contribution! Awesome job SVK_Fox!

Server.lua, is that the only thing in that needs to be modified to adjust the cockpit position? I am playing around with the F-18a with the cockpit=yes option but when I load up a server with 9 other guys we notice that non of us can look over and see each other. I am still searching for threads on this topic any help or direction is much appreciated.

I am excited to get my hands on this skin and make a nice mod with it. How is the progress going and when do you think it will be done?

Have you guys tried using LOMAN? I have used it to view and extract CDDS skin files and one is supposed to be able to insert back into the world textures. I have not been able to insert new skin files yet.

I am working on a new revision of our mod which will use tail numbers and underside wing numbers painted on the skins. I need help with the meinit.xml with understanding what and how the CLSID(red) numbers work and the ID(blue) number. What are these hash-like CLSID numbers and how do they work? Do the ID numbers mean anything, do they correspond to the end number on the skin file name? (example skin parts A-10-OKRAS-L1.bmp, A-10-OKRAS-R1.bmp in bazar/temptextures) I have read a few threads regarding making changes to the meinit.xml and couldn't find any that dealt with my issues. <ColorSchemes> <ColorScheme CLSID="{D7FBDFAC-7CDA-4857-9999-CDC0F2AFD1CA}" ID="0" Name="Snowbird 1"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{6D79BC93-FB8D-4EE4-AE1A-AECADB2798E5}" ID="1" Name="Snowbird 2"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{6C2CCF81-751B-42F5-93B2-4160B55DD085}" ID="2" Name="Snowbird 3"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{06802A89-EC9B-486D-90C3-89C3A91F1309}" ID="3" Name="Snowbird 4"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{58430E22-BD3D-4CC3-B2B9-CB7ED57CB7FF}" ID="4" Name="Snowbird 5"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{A32B6C33-9C38-4BD0-BBBD-09380BA6A23E}" ID="5" Name="Snowbird 6"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{9DF1AFBE-56FD-4E7D-AB73-0731DD4CD720}" ID="6" Name="Snowbird 7"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{DB597F88-04FF-40C4-9ADF-83EF6FF46246}" ID="7" Name="Snowbird 8"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{8FC7F7C0-FD76-4607-85F0-9B19F542DA12}" ID="8" Name="Snowbird 9"/> <ColorScheme CLSID="{2C99F172-EAF3-4E49-8020-475E89467C9C}" ID="9" Name="Snowbird 10"/> </ColorSchemes> Is it safe to assume that the A-10 supports 10 different skins at the same time in the game? I made 10 variations of the skin and numbered them 0-9 in their skin names and I only got a couple to show up and the few that I got to show up were not in the right order. Others that were partially showing up had a skin overlay still appearing from some of the other skins. I also need to know if there are some skin files I need to delete that may be causing the overlays. I definitly need a better understanding of the skinning system with the CLSID numbers and the ID's. In regards to the Virtual Thunderbirds mod I noticed that their skin files are being put somewhere else and not in the temptextures folder, where are they going? Are they going into a compressed lockon Library? Am I missing some knowledge about CDDS files? Link to current VTB mod: http://www.virtualthunderbirds.com/Library/Virtual%20Thunderbirds%20Mod_2.1.zip Any insight is appreciated! Thanks, Rotorblade http://www.VirtualSnowbirds.com PS Notepad++ is a big help with this!
