'Walking in a Winter Wonderland' ....... what?.... too early.... :music_whistling: Some images of a SU25A skin amended from an in game Georgian skin. It's difficult to create a new Su25 skin as I can't find a template anywhere. All existing skins seem to be green or brown. Here's something different. Oh! and as is the fashion at the minute, I amended a couple of winter textures too. I hope you like.

Thanks Timm, :thumbup: I will have a look out for the new winter textures by Mitch, and Mitch the last skin in particular 'Is a thing of beauty' thank you in advance, as I hope to see them soon for DL. cheers DancinBear

Hi Mitch and guys... I love these skins, I also love the snow textures Mitch, there not the ones that come with the game are they? Have you made new textures here too? cheers DancinBear

I think thats a great idea aledmb... I like to look at tracks too, and i look forward to any posts. cheers DancinBear.

'put it in a jar and hide it away.' If you had put away the cash in a bank three years ago when we first heard of BS, you would be able to afford your own copy and one for a couple of mates. ;) Who knew that we all would have the patience of investment bankers waiting for this!

I would like to see it land at my local games shop.....:pilotfly:

Thank you Ironhand. I'm Dl'ing now. Always interested in your tutorials. Regards DancinBear

LMAO... thats Wild Bill

Hi, Anyone here who is self-employed will know that there is vast difference in producing something for a hobby or for the love of it, and producing something for commercial gain. The standards have to be far better, and what about support for that product - is it compatible with all versions of LO? Will there be email support for problems installing? It would soon become a headache, and may deter anyone from trying again. The ground pounder texture mod is first class work, as far as we have seen.. and the winter textures just looks fantastic. Can't wait to fly the Ka50 over that on a misty morning. Why stop with the Ground pounder texture mod, .. Ironhand would be able to retire! with what is due to him. I pop my head in to the forums now and again, and I am encouraged by the friendly, congenial atmosphere. Make some of it commercial and I fear that may be lost. Don't spoil it. DancinBear

Great skin Colt40Five......Grandsurf, is that the standard winter textures?, they look great, whiter than mine! Is it a MOD? Cheers DancinBear

This might help from LockOn files - Lock On FC under VISTA Lock On does run well on Vista and those wanting to upgrade, can do it with ease and run Lock On as before, but will need to accept some serious problems with 3rd party software such as Modman, which does not work under Vista neither in its 5 nor in 6 Beta13 versions, SAITEK owners now have a new SST SOFTWARE BETA FOR VISTA , but it won’t be able to run old profiles until a migration tool is made available. Eagle Dynamics has released a patch 1.12b meant to provide compatibility with VISTA as 1.12a does not run under VISTA . Even so you will still need to get a driver update from STARFORCE, as sooner than later the Starforce driver will be disabled by Vista due to incompatibility. I did NOT encounter any issues with Starforce, I installed it on a new laptop, which came with VISTA Business 32 pre-installed. There may be issues with Sound and GPU drivers that need to be addressed. - A quick Install Guide If you had a fully working FC 1.12a copy – and want to upgrade to Vista, in view of Modman inability to install any mods, keep your old copy of Lock On 1.1 by renaming it, then you can later copy the BAZAR, ME, CONFIG and SOUNDS folders and paste it in your new install, this will allow you to have all the Mods without having to go through a manual install for each mod. Installing FC on Vista requires a clean 1.00 install and then over it the 1.1 FC install. After doing this and BEFORE you continue, load FC for the first time for Starforce to try (it won’t) to register your copy, now you should update it first with the 1.12b PATCH and then do the STARFORCE DRIVER UPDATE and you are ready to go – load FC again and Starforce will run and enable your copy. Remember to use an utility called Savekeys found at ED site to avoid having to register again and that you need to have admin privileges to edit files etc. If you installed VISTA, share with us your experience in our FORUMS : we will weep and rejoice with you. Good luck!

First class work Jonob66, I will print these off for reference. :thumbup:

These images are getting better and more detailed as time goes on....does anyone know if the figures will move? Run for cover etc. Or will they be static. Looks good though, thanks

Thank you I'll try that

Hi Everyone! I have noticed that if you have a bad mission and are killed, even if you do not save the game at that stage and then re-fly the mission, your pilot/character is DEAD! So you have to be sure to get back alive, don't go for that last Shilka when you only have 15 rounds left:joystick: OK Rambo! Incidently I havent managed any rank as yet :doh: Rambo out!
