Dave,

I'm mostly up and running. I can't get my PSP to accept the activation Key. Not sure why. Its the same one I've used for the last 6 years. Other then that, everything else is nearly ready. I have to fix my FS2004 GMAX setup.

So what do you need next?

I'm going to work on some of the buildings.

Can we get perms for this version?

http://simviation.com/1/download-file?file=EKA-3B.zip&fileId=32898

Is it the same one that Tango worked on?
Click to expand...

I will take a look, If it is Toms...The FFS has the perms...
I actually talked with him a few months back trying to draw him back into the fold
But he is having a great time with his R/C flying and gave me some tips on who to
contact in my area to help me learn to fly my chopper. Wife bought it for me a few
years back..But I am surrounded by water and am afraid of either taking someones
head off or putting it in the river, the bay or my swimming pool. So it sits in my office.

3 feet of looking pretty, yet to be used..

Got a lot of his stuff up already, I will take a look at that one..just downloaded.

I have Paint shop photo pro x3. the same one I've been using for a long time now. It seems the serial key isn't the same. not sure what happened. I think its the wrong copy. I have one that is the tbyb and the other is the one I use. so i'll have to look them over.
 
So still no luck on the PSPPx3.

I'm starting to work on more of Al's API conversions. I'm currently working on the 105mm Howitzers. Then I'll do some of the trucks.
 
OK John,
I will look up my code and see on PSP.

Update on your perms for the on the EKA-3B, both mailer deamons.

I checked the net...seems they are posted on all the pay for use sites
Plus they are being used up in the FSX section.
SO..I will change out the panel...it is really a no go and post the plane
on the FFS.

If they are not complaining about the pay sites, I really see no problem
because we are going to use it in missions as per the readme.

The Trucks will be a great addition.

Dave
 
we can talk about the PSP issue through email.

The truck will have to wait a bit. I've started on the M101A1 105mm Howitzers. I'm making the Gun MLOD. not sure if the sand bag part will be the same.

here is a quick pic...

It looks better the the original. Still a bit basic. I want to do a couple more details to it. let me know what you think.

Side Note:
There is also a KA-3 at Sim-V. all by the same people. In the readme it says that they are by the Virtual Navy. So thats where I'd head for perms.

I've made new wheels that will work on the trucks. They have a rounder look. I'm going to make a towed version to go with the trucks.

I remade the shield so it looks like a vietnam era 105mm Howitzer. DD, or one of our other vets, will have to chime in and say if it looks anywhere near. I'm stuck on how to do the damage model. Not sure if I want to do the crater or make it look broken.

I'll keep you posted.
 
I've done a little more work on the howitzer. Tell me what you think.

Dave,

Do you have a CH46 kicking around?

I'm making a weapon .bgl with the M101A1 Howitzer. It will work with any helo of the same size.

We need a 'Jolly Green Giant' as well.
 
Dave,

We need to do the airbase.dat. I want to use the scenery for taking screenshots and such. But... I need locations to take them from.

If you can give me the Info I'll make one.

The first Howitzer is ready-ish. I have to take some screenies and such. Hence the need for the airbase.dat.
 
OK John,
There are only 92 of them thus far, Can I start with the ones you are looking for ?

I will start with those............
