Re: Mississippi ANG

The Gulfport CRTC flight line ramp space can support up to nine C-5s, twenty-two KC-135s or one hundred fighters. So its a great place to rotate aircraft into. When lived down there before Katrina, there was a lot of activity with ANG units doing their ORIs there Also most of Kessler's TNG are done ...

Re: Mississippi ANG

KC-135s are gone........ Key Field Air National Guard Base in Meridian had recently said farewell to the KC-135R tanker mission and the MC-12 reconnaissance mission, so this news was a relief to Chalk. "We had our fingers crossed and we are delighted to get this done," Chalk said. "Th...

Re: Primer/Bare Metal KC-135

Place a few at KBHM (Birmingham). Last time I was there, they were some C-130s, P-3s and a few KCs at AAI going through rebuild and repaint. AAI is the big hanger complex directly across the runway from the Alabama ANG KC ramp.

Re: Crazy Weather

I agree the weather is crazy. We had 80 degree weather Monday, frost this morning (32F) and back to the 80s tomorrow. Already had to start mowing the grass since March, after having 8 inches of snow in January. Wish it would make up its mind.

Re: Boeing Wins Tanker Contract!

I wanted EADS to win the contract because the aircraft were going to be built in my home state (Alabama). You were looking at close to 30,000 related jobs. We might be losing Alabama Aircraft Industries (AAI) which would be a big part of it. http://www.alabamaaircraft.com/ AAI filed for chapter 11 ...

RAID 1 Setup

I just added a NAS (Network Attached Storage) device to my home network. I am running a RAID 1 (mirror) set-up with two 1TB drives. The drives just drop into the NAS with no tools and was very easy to prepare. So far I have been impressed with the speed and access this device is giving me. I have be...

I do most of my work inside the folders, so "Renum" is just handy to use. We ought to come up with a list of useful utilities that people use. Some of these utilities save a lot of time and find errors that causes support questions. I have one called "Scenery Align" that renumber...

Re: What I am Adding to my Miltary AI

Here is another useful utility. Called "Renum", just drop it in your aircraft folder and when you update or add entries, save it then click on "Renum" and it will renumber your aircraft entries.

Re: What I am Adding to my Miltary AI

What I use is FSAddAircraftPark_v2, a utility by Arnt Helge Haaland. It allows blanket PARKING CODE AND PARKING TYPE CHANGES. It reads your aircraft.cfgs and loads all your aircraft like a spreadsheet. Look in the lower left corner for total number of aircraft.

Re: Repaints for FAB UH-60, UH-1, etc

The Blackhawk is a 5 - LOD model (3456 - 286). All tth he models are very simple and comes with generic paints. You can repaint them but what detail I do not know. Comes with a traffic file that gets them in the air. Best thing to do is look at the Just Flight site and read what the paks offer.
