Not even a contest. Black Shark all the way BABY!!! :joystick:

Nice work. :thumbup: It looks like you put a lot of effort into this skin to get the stripes to line up on the templates. Good job!

Hey Frazer, I just watched you're show now as I was unable to watch it on the weekend due to streaming issues. I thought it was pretty obvious that the crash at the end of your performance was planned. I think that it is kind of weird that other people would think differently. I think people were just trying to start rumors. It was the exact same ending as your previous shows. Besides, you already landed before the crash. All that aside, excellent performance and I thought you made the shark dance very nicely to the music. :thumbup:

Just tuned in to the Russian Aerobatic team and I have to say WOW. I never thought that watching a virtual airshow would be quite this cool. These guys must have spent a lot of time practicing these maneuvers, and they definitely have my respect.:thumbup:

Just watching now with the Blue Angels performing and I have to say, those guys got some skills. Thanks for posting this thread.

My first suggestion to you is to try not to get so close before engaging. If you stick to the limits of your vikhrs, you will find that some of the sams and aaa will not engage you. I find that with the Vulcans, they usually don't engage me till I'm about 4-5 miles away. Use the scan feature on your schval to locate the enemy and fly slow so that you can stop in time to engage them at the limits. Another thing that you can do to spot enemies while flying to a waypoint, is turn on the autopilot and zoom your view right in and scan the countryside ahead. Some might consider this cheating, but I don't, simply because of the fact that the resolution we are given on the screen, can't compare to the vision we have in real life. You will be surprised at what you can see in the distance with your view zoomed in. Anyways give these a try. :thumbup:

Hey Chazz I had the same problem when I downloaded your skin. I had to extract the cdds file and remake the skin in order for it to work. I'm still using 1.01 as well. I wasn't able to pinpoint the problem though.

Here is some more nose art, 'Never saw me "Cummin". :music_whistling:

I've posted the desert camo to lockonfiles, just waiting for verification. Its the CDN Army skin.:smilewink:

Hey Phoenix, thanks for that link to the pinup pictures. I will definitely have to make use of those! :thumbup:

I made some changes to this skin. I think the look of it is better:pilotfly:

Here is just a slightly different take on the original standard skin. Can you spot the difference? :smilewink:

Well, thanks for the compliments, I guess you leave me no choice but to upload it to Lock on files.:smilewink:

Heres another one I made.

Heres my favourite "dirty" skin. :music_whistling:

AWESOME. Absolutely everything I was wanting in the patch is there. I am loving the fixed trimmer system, especially since I am using a Non FFB joystick. I haven't flown this sim in a while, but now that the patch is out, I think I will be hard core once again. The wife is going to be on my case once again. :music_whistling:

I was thinking of making the UN symbol bigger as well.

Here is a fictional United Nations skin that I have put together. Let me know what you think. Here are some screenshots.

The problem with using skins for different countries other than Russia, is that the developers didn't make it all that user friendly to install. What you have to do is install the Slovak skin first before installing any of the other country skins. This is a unique skin that replaces the db-countries.lua file with an altered one so that Slovak and Canada are Ka-50 flyable. If you have any skins on there already, they will be erased. If you desperately want this skin, then you have to install this one first before doing anything else. Then you install the all countries mod so that it makes all countries flyable. It replaces the db-countries.lua file again with one that makes all countries flyable. The slovak skin is already on the replaced db-countries.lua file. Now you can add all the skins you want. You must do it in this order or you will run into the same problems. :thumbup: As for reinstalling, I would try the above suggestion first and if that doesn't work then reinstall. Just uninstall all previous skins, and reinstall everything in the order that I stated above.

Just curious if anyone has thought about a F-35 Lightning model yet. I would love to see a 3D model of this bad boy. :thumbup:

Black Shark all the way. Never really liked Lock-on, too many issues for me. Besides, I love helos and really hope that we will be getting the apache. Won't be flying anything else after that. (Unless its another helo) In fact, I start my Commercial License training in September on the Bell 47, and then onto the Bell 206B. Other than wanting to fly my whole life, flying Black Shark made me decide to pursue this career path.

Heres my lady!!

I do think that it is kind of sad that by the time we finally get a patch, ( don't see why all the bugs and upgrades have to be all done in one patch, but thats my opinion ) A-10 will be in its testing phase and we will probably all be jumping into the A-10 right after we get our first, and probably only patch for the Shark. :cry: I have played many games that played awesome out of the box and I felt that they didn't require any patches either. But those producers supplied us with many patches that kept on improving the game. And we didn't have to wait this long for a patch. Why does every single bug and upgrade have to be fixed in one patch. You realise that even after you release this patch, even after years of testing this one patch, people are still going to find problems with it. I'll be laughing when august finally gets here, (if that will be the actual release date which I doubt) and people will still be finding problems with the game. :music_whistling:

What you should do is install the slovakia skin first before adding more skins. The slovakia skin changes the db-countries.lua file so that Canada is flyable as well. Uninstall all previous skins first then install the Slovakia skin. There is an all countries mod as well that you can download from LockonFiles.com so that you can add skins for all countries. What you have done, is installed all skins first before the Slovak skin which is the wrong thing to do, since the Slovak skin alters the db-countries folder so that all previous skins have been erased.

That was the request, but I plan on doing one in russian stars as well. ;)
