I'm not sure if Strut has finished with it yet, if he thinks it's OK to go then sure.

Hi Crashmo, Now that sure is a funky looking skin, does it glow in the dark at night? LOL

Sarcasm never works well in text, even with the use of emoticons. Dang I'm an Aussie and we're always being sarcastic. FYI, the person who has access to the sites database can remove negative comments rather easily.

It shouldn't be hard to fix at all but I think there's a little more to that issue then meets the eye.

Sure is a nice looking model, great work!

No worries, thanks for the reply.

We will need to find more images of, awards, strips, and 2x flags, one waving one flat. If I can use what you have already it will save some time, I can handle any graphics if required. You will also need an aircraft or helo skin with "Australia" as the country in it's description, I can supply one of each to get us going. I had to delete my current logbook too for it to take but we'll deal with later. Anyway better go, misses is getting upset.

Yeah buddy sure will, I'm just heading out the door for a couple of hours, when I get back I'll write up some instructions.

OK I got it working and have logged my first 9min flight in the C-130 as an Aussie. woo hoo!:pilotfly:

G'day buddy, let us know what squadrons you have represented, I have a 37 Sqn C-130 Herc skin.

that's golden:megalol:

I just had quick look, does the logbook just use the db_countries? I can add us in that easy enough, check the screenshot below. There's a few images I see referenced, medals, and a ground crew, what else do I need to do?

I think militarised versions of the more popular civil aircraft and helo's would be a great addition. Most Boeing heavy's have a mil version, heck I think Air Force One or 737 wedge tail would be a blast in DCS. To me it's all about the environment, fly, drive, sail, march do whatever you want in whatever you want because at the end of the day it's the DCS environment which makes it such a great experience. Simulation is my hobby, if the option became available to get a civi I would jump at it, if I could get a sub or aircraft carrier I would get them too. Call me mad but I would even get hang glider if one came out :D

Can we turn off the rep? I'm really not interested in the popularity contest.

The weapons should work fine, the only ones I haven't seen work are the Penguin's but they're on the ER model which I didn't release. Don't forget to turn on the master arm and laser range finder. The 20mm worked too last report I had, let me just double check that my end, maybe I missed something because it should train on the target too.

Awesome stuff, glad you got that all sorted out. I only tend to use .tga if the image I'm working on uses an alpha channel, .tga is a 32 bit format so for doing prop textures and glass it's great.

Check your email monkie they should be there now.

Personally, I wouldn't update just yet, hang back until we hear if there's another update coming. I really do hope it's just another bug so it can be fixed, the load times on my system since the update are ridiculously slow, too slow in fact.

You must be a mind reader monkie. ;) I've received a few PM's over the last few days requesting them to be uploaded again so I've spent the last 4 hours getting them ready. I had to do them all again to remove all the extra bits I had in my personal versions. Do you guy's want the standard UH-60A, or the UH-60A-ER? You can't have both unfortunately, the difference is that the ER takes weapon loads and looks really darn cool with mini-guns.:D I posted a pic of the ER model in the screenshot forum, not sure if many here have even seen it before. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=108988 I'll will upload them again very soon just waiting for a PM from another member so I can send them to him first for testing.

Damn I type slow, Ok so that's clarified PS needs the DXT plugin and mips option checked, cool. Thanks for that -Rudel-

Same here, I've been using DXTBmp since it came out, sometimes I'll use imagetool but mostly DXTBmp. I don't know if Photoshop can even create mips, can someone elaborate on this further? Also, the UH-1H doesn't use the "name" entry in the description it uses the folders name for this, so you really don't need that line at all. Keep the country line but I'd lose the name line. I don't have any third party skins installed only the one I created so I'm not sure if that could cause a problem, it shouldn't but you never know.

Something I haven't seen mentioned before is that DCS requires DXT textures to include mip-maps, without and you'll see that orange missing texture. What program are you using to convert them and does it include an option to create mips?

He will need the .bmp if that's what the files name is, take it away and it wont work unless he renames the file too. Most of UH-1 files have a similar naming convention. .bmp.dds, the .bmp in this instance has nothing to do with the format, you could save it in .tga yeah but it doesn't really matter, it all ends up as 16bit at the end of the day when saved in as DXT1

I fly the A and D models in DCS heaps and would love to get a functioning cockpit for them, well more function than I already have would be great. I have the manual too but my version doesn't have the drag factors or other coefficients, wish it did because I would use them.

Here's a few shots of the 37 Sqd RAAF C-130
