cant seem to find much info on what looks like a wonderful mod. Would be very much interested to have the mod with an Su-30MKM/ Su-30MKI skin, something i can work on. Download links doesnt seem to work though.

thanks alot!oh and sorry for the post..im sure ill have some questions once i start skinning for the MiG..sorry again..

do u mind sharing the template u use to build the skins?im planning to build my own skin but cant seem to find any template of the MiGs..

guys,i love to use the super-zoom function (ctrl + *) to get close up screenshots of the planes but it changes the 'proportions' of the planes after that..so how do i get it back to normal after im done?

hello guys..was just spending some time trying to get my lomac back to its old state before i formatted my pc..it has been some time since i installed or played the CAW with AdA mod installed i think..which is where my question starts..what is CAW and what is AdA mod?its supposd to be two entirely different mods right?but why is it available under the same download called CAW? and..i remembered that the last time i installed the CAW,the gave me some very very beautiful cockpits especially fore the Su-27 and MiG-29..those with 'screen' instead of dials on them..and if im not mistaken,it came with a nice runway texture as well.. why do i choose to babble so much here instead of just reinstalling CAW? well,as far as i remembered,CAW/AdA mod replaces the Su-27 model with the Su-30..and it also gets the skin of the su-27/30 a little jumbled up with very few slots left for skins..and since i spend most of my time flying the su-30,i could really do without this part.. and this leads to the question,how can i install the CAW with just the missions,cockpits and runway textures or any other eyecandies? one more thing,how do i get the merzifon mode to work together with the parkbox mod? thanks in advance! :)

yup..heres the link but its not compatible with merzifons mod if im not mistaken.. http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=search#searchresults if it doesnt work,go to lockonfiles and search for parkbox in the download section..it should work..

here are a few updates..got the landing gears recolored..trying to figure out if theres anything i might have left out.. and last but not least.. :pilotfly:

haha..yeap..wait till u see it in real life..really fell in more in love with the 2 seated variants since then..hopefully id be able to release this skin in the next 2 weeks or so.. btw,how do i get the ground and runway textures like Francous?looks really good!

here is a repost of what i posted at the screenies thread..my first skinning in lockon.for the gun armor area,i pasted them from the real plane itself..wont be long before i upload it at lockonfiles..hope u guys like it.. :)

ahh..thanks alot GA!i did it once last time but after i reformated my pc,i kinda forgot how to do it again..more screenies to come from me! :)

@shaggy & Szelma ok!its finally done!just a few minor touch ups and she'll be ready to go..thanks for all the tips guys! :) @BrumTx yes it is the parking box mod by tomcatz :)

guys,i remember there is a mod which allows us to have a limitless view form the ground (in terms of going how low)..i just cant remember how to do it now..anyone can give me a hand?

how do i replace the cockpit glass files?just drop it in the temptextures folders?

how do i adjust the parameters to reduce the bloom effect?the default is just slightly too bright..

ok now that im done with the colors of the tyre,i cant seem to export the new file with CDDS explorer to replace the old one..anyone?

beautiful start up screens!at last i have some hi-res pics to greet me every time i enter lomac.. :thumbup: is there a way for me to change the loading screen for the Su-30?its blank at the moment..

heres a screenshot of my cockpit..this was on my old monitor,had the aspect ratio all mixed up.. currently i dont have the mod installed in my lomac since i formatted my pc the other day..these are the screenshots from the old install..i love the new cockpit but i wouldnt want the joy of air to air refuelling to be taken away as well..which explains why i havent installed the CaW /AdA mod..one of the mods even affected my F4 view adjustments in LoCFG..and i dont want my skins to be affected either..since they reduced some of the skin allocated to my favourite plane,the Su-30.. :p

sorry,my bad..i must have been referring to the CAW mod instead of AdA mod when i mentioned about the Sukhois cockpit being changed..had all my modes jumbled up that i dont know which is which..sorry.. :(

i noticed that installing AdA mode would change the cockpit layout for all the sukhoi planes (Su-27,30,33).and this causes the refuelling probe on the su-33 to be missing from inside the cockpit..is it possible to install the cockpit just for one particular model?say the Su-30?

ok its there!thanks! :) found out that the file is in bmp format and the since all my skinning before this were based on preset layers on the template..i dont have any idea how to turn the green wheel grey.. :p anyway,here are a few pics of the skin..still unfinished..need to do some minor corrections here and there..any comments would be much appreciated! :)

guys..ive tried for days browsing through the files in my lockon folder and still i cant find anything close to being a wheel texture..anyone can give me a hand? :(

thanks for the replies guys!that was a lot quicker then expected.. anyway,ive tried changing the name of the file to slot -10 and IT WORKS!!thanks alot Vekkinho for the tip!i can finally go back to putting up the final touches for my skin..so that leaves only the landing gear color that i need to sort out..i noticed that the color of the ukrainian su-27s wheels are white..so there must be a way right? despite already being able to fly in my first skin,im still very much interested in creating a new country or learning about the other things i can do if its possible..as u guys must have noticed by now that im very new to modding in lomac and it would be great if u guys can explain to me things such as the terms -cmd -hex -lom -etc.? where to find,and what to do with them..since im planning to build a skin for the MiG-29N and the RMAFs F/A-18D Hornets as well..im very willing to learn.. :)

guys..im currently close to completing my Su-30MkM skinning project but im still bugged by some issues..ill post pics for updates later or u can see it at lockonfiles.. http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5046&sid=a7bab5cbe8a8470f9dfa5201aeb2d702l Question 1 is it possible to remove the russian star on only one particular skin without affecting the others?replacing the NOMERA file results in all the other russian planes missing the russian star as well..ive received suggestions to form a new country but have no idea how.. quesiton 2 how do i paint the landing gear? thanks in advance! :)

the strizhi and russian knight site are mostly in russian..where can i download virtual aerobatics videos?something like smoke on by the virtual thunderbirds?
