could you send me a copy to look at? I'd like to see whats up in this area in GMax. Hopefully my comp won't rollover and die in the process. LOL.. Its only an XP machine.

If the decks are down, it is definitely the new update. What are your PC specs??

Hello Mate:wavey:

Yes.. definitely the new model.. no blast deflectors.

PC spec: Intel i5 2500K (3.3-3.7gig) Win7 Ultimate (64-bit), Palit GTX560Ti 1.2gig, 8gig system ram. No monster I know but more than capable of running this. Approach to trap is fine.. the trap is fine but as I get to the end of the landing strip and move forward.. I suddenly lose a shed load of frames, same as before.

While the technical pieces are being worked out for these fantastic Vietnam/cold war era beauties, i have completed Air Wing paint for WombRaider's statics for Forrestal, Saratoga, Ranger, Independence, and Connstellation. Here are Indy's aircraft - A-6 (VA-176), A-7 (VA-87), F-4 (VF-102).

I have uploaded the texture repaints for WombRaider78's Forrestal class (4 texture sets - 1 for each Carrier) and Kitty Hawk Class (1 for each Carrier) in the FSX Ships portion of the warbirds files here: http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/local_links.php?catid=114

There are two download links for the Indy - be sure to select the one that actually has the zip file - sorry about that one.

I am also working on the A-7's, F-4's and A-6's for Gary's 1975 Midway.

Warren..

I've found a problem with Connie (v1.5). The 'Recover' version isn't working. Coincidental that this is the one I had listed in AIC and it's the one that stutters like hell. I put Deke's Connie aircraft onboard today and realised there are no aircraft showing (in Recover). In case I'd made a faux pas with the texture install.. I changed the entry in AIC to show Kitty Hawks 'Recover' and that worked fine on Connie. Deleted Connie v1.5 and started again. Still the same.. heavy stutters with Recover model added and no aircraft on deck. Tried Crowded and its fine PLUS.. the stutters are gone. Tried Launch.. that's fine too. Backed up the original 3 aircraft textures to be overwritten by Deke's files then added the new files. Launch.. fine. Crowded.. fine but still no Recover.

Assuming the aircraft models are the same for each ship.. I can drag Kitty's Recover into Connie and rename it. So.. stuttery Sue is associated with just the Connie Recover model.. the rest (including Kitty) are fine:)

EDIT: Hmm.. using the Recover model from Kitty didn't work (though changing the AIC entry to display Kitty's Launch aircraft works fine). Perhaps a change of GUID's or something. No problem.. I'm happy to live with Crowded at the mo;)

I can confirm it, the same problem with Recover CV-64 version. The rest is ok (1.5, but less FPS than USS Ent. by Team SBD), by the way Congrats! : )

Working on last texture set - for Gary's Midway with the F-4's, A-6's and A-7's aboard.
CAG-5 (CVW-5) with VF-161 representing the Phantoms, and VA-93 the SLUF. Of course, VA-115 for the Intruder.

I was thinking of making alternate air wing paints that members can drag and drop should they want some difference - noting YoYo's Pukin' Dog phantom overflying Connie - as all know Air Wing - to - Carrier assignments change from time to time - and Connie did have CVW-14 aboard during the Vietnam war for a period. Anyhow, that may be a possibility for the future if there is a desire.

For now, here is CVW-5/Midway WIP:

Aint it just!!!:rocket: I will crack.. I know I will but I'm holding strong at the moment.. until the next sale that is.

Deke.. that paint for the Alpha/Virtavia CH-46 is nice. Is it on general release? The 3 paints that come with the model never seem to fit what I want to do in the darned thing!!

Dave,
the HC-8 textures are free and over at AVSIM - search on "Sea Knight" and find the entry that says "CH46 Sea Knight 5 schemes". In addition to HC-8, it has HC-11, Marine Camo, RCAF SAR, and NAS Pt Mugu SAR.

Deke
 
Quick question what program do you use to make the deck traffic I'm guessing it's something like Gmail correct?
 
Don't wish to hijack this thread but I have the AS CH-46 and can't for the life of me figure out how to fly it. The throttle control is very odd as the rotors slow and stop if you give it full throttle and then once airborne becomes uncontrollable. Not a great helo fan or flier but don't have this issue with other copters. Have searched but not found any advice on this issue.
