D-Scythe Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Although I can hardly imagine that this scheme is for blending with the sky - it is visible for those who flies above the plane, so it is between the viewer and the ground, right? Unless it flies upside down :) IIRC, the point of the two tone grey schemes in the F-15 and now the F/A-22 is to NOT blend into the sky nor the ground, but to break up the straight, leading edges of the fuselage into the darker, wavier outlines of the camoflage. It helps break up the distinct outline of the jet at medium to high altitudes. 'Lizard' or 'European' camoflage, the three-tone, green/brown schemes that we've been accustomed to with strikers, help aircraft blend into the ground, although they have to be flying at low altitudes. At 20 000ft with haze, the shade of the ground from the air changes completely, rendering the camoflage useless. It's one of the reasons why air superemacy fighters usually sport grey/light blue paint schemes. I'll check out Getdataback, but no promises. Which version should I use? NTFS or FAT?
bflagg Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 If your XP, the chances are NTFS... but if you've already written over the HD, it will be difficult, if not impossible to recover, at best. Thanks, Brett
Peter Pan Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Hey, D-Scythe you may also want to try little program called Tiramisu. It helped me once when my FAT crashed, and it also works with NTFS.

crazyleggs Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 A grey camo will let you "blend in" to some extent with the ambient light or tone of the surrounding sky. It will make the difference of being spotted visually at around 5-7 nm (or less) in a light sky and grey camo vice 8-10 nm (or more in some cases) in a light sky and dark color or camo.
Starlight Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Hey, D-Scythe you may also want to try little program called Tiramisu. It helped me once when my FAT crashed, and it also works with NTFS. Tiramisu? - isnt that an Italian cake? Tiramisu is my favorite cake, it's THE CAKE, but it's also the name of a small DOS program to recover data from partitions. Problem is that it manages only FAT partitions and it's limited to small disk geometries. The large disks which are in use today are out of reach of Tiramisu. The Ontrack company which did Tiramisu now offers a recovery service at payment, with analysis being done by its program EasyRecovery. IMHO GetDataBack is the best utility to recover data from partitions. Unless you have phisically overwritten the deleted files, you have some real chances to recover them. NTFS or FAT32... you only know what you had. Windows XP supports both, older 9x and ME support only FAT32.
flanker760 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 hey d-scythe! any chance now to get your beautiful su-24 ski hey d-scythe! any chance now to get your beautiful su-24 skin???
jason_peters Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 whilst more detaild skins make for good screen shots it would be great if you could direct your tallent toward the ground textures or the cockpit. this is the stuff that on screen all the time whilst you fly.... Maybe you should do highres missiles - they seem to be close to my plane more oftern than not :lol: --------- System: i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz; Nvidia RTX 2080ti; 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 @ 3333Mz Ram; ASUS ROG Strix z370-E; SSD Drive; Oculus Rift-S; Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
