I got it to work without deleting my VSN Phantom. I just copied all the 3D models from the DCS CoreMods folder (game folders, not saved games) into the Bazer/shapes folder and overwrote the old F-14A 3D models with it. Seemed to do the trick.

Great work, thanks!

Just read about those as well - I'd love to see one.

Hey Skullz, thanks for your work. Just tried to download your mod - the link seems to be broken. Any chance you can re-upload it?

Perfect - love your new skin, I really avoided using the stock Spangdahlem livery 'cuz it seemed to clean to me. Now it's one of my favourites.

Stunning - can't wait to fly that dirty spang Viper :thumbup:

I'd love to build an anti-drug-cartel mission. Theres a nice cannabis plant in the mod - however, the textures are missing. Apart from that, the mod is working fine for me. Does anyone know where to find the cannabis textures?

Hey there, any of those talended skin makers up for a really nice UH-1 skin? I love the look of those Canadian Griffon helicopters that were used for the peacekeeping missions in Mali. Maybe one of the creators of the existing Canadian liveries can add those improvised UN markings and the desert flight suits? A lot of pictures of the skins can be found here: https://www.helis.com/database/sqd/Canada-Air-Task-Force-Mali/photos

One question regarding the UH-1 roughmet: When I activate the roughmet via JSGME, the glossy liveries (like civil or rescue skins) appear semi-matte as well. Is there a way to change the lua file of those respective skins so that the glossy liveries keep their own, special roughmets?

I love the weathered VF-45 one - thanks so much!

Oh, bummer. But I deeply hope they release it as an AI version at least?

They add quite nice loadouts to the Huey. Flexcam is a TV camera mounted on the nose, with an operator sitting on a passenger seat. Powerline worker is an electricity worker sitting on the right side of the helo, plus equipment. Best thing is the firefighting tank thats also included. You can load all these things in the weapons loadout menu.

I love it. Thanks for your great work!

Thanks, I'll try that out. I love the Tiger, that weathered look really brings that battered beauty alive.

Nice. Is it somehow possible to apply the new roughtmet for all F-5 liveries?

Great one, thanks so much!

I have downloaded the 200 and 201 - but cant find the CAG bird in the user files anymore. Anyway, love your work, cant wait for more board numbers and the Be-Devilers :D

Only indirectly, as far as I understand. You'd lose more speed if you rolled with only the stick in high AOA situations.

Second that.

Things that helped me to get better in the F-5: Be careful with your speed and dont pull too hard. Once you're slow, it's hard to regain that energy with a MiG on your six. Also with high AOA, use rudder to roll, that way you'll bleed less speed. If you're up against AI, dont follow the enemy plane into the vertical. Youll just end up stalling. Instead follow him in lag pursuit, turn in the horizontal plane, and then roll in behind him as he comes down again. I also set the flap settings to my Warthog throttle boat switch. Aft is set to flaps auto, forward is set to flaps up. That way I can easily switch between fast(er) acceleration vs. better turning performance. If you're defensive, use the F-5s nice roll rate for a scissors maneuver and force him to overshoot. Theres a button for turning off the roll limitation on the stick, I bound that one too on my joystick.

I tried to set up a mission involving troop pickup yesterday. Didn't work - I hope it can be fixed soon and isn't broken for months again.

@Gunslinger22: I downloaded your bort no 200 - and I love it. Keep em coming, I really dig that weathered look. As if by chance, some days ago I began to set up a carrier borne template mission set in the ODS time period - more VF-74 and VF-103 skins are more than welcome.

Okay, thanks for pointing that out. In certain situations, I select zone 1 afterburner to prevent that smoke trail. Let's hope it will be buffed out ;)

I noticed something after the last update. The F-14s engine smoke seems not only really dark, but also always present. Before the update, the smoke changed depending on various factors. Now, the cat smokes even when in full burner - I don't think that's the way it's meant to be.

Thanks, Bignewy!
