Look great in P3Dv5, love the Splinter paints and thanks for getting the 2 recently transferred "AL ANG" jets in. Just need to work on my Eielson AFD for Red Flag Alaska parking.

Mark Heimer did the paints and the flightplans for those, but his site is gone. I'm sure someone has the original FPs as I tend to keep mine accurate, so they are butchered up as the tails#s move around IRL since package release.

Awesome! Great to see the updated Vipers coming along. I did just look over some of the older tail#s from the original "AK and Pacific" package, many are retired now IRL.

MAIW MCAS Miramar
F-18 training squadron VMFAT-101 Sharpshooters deactivated 30SEP23. Aircraft will move to a training detachment under VMFA-323 Death Rattlers also at MCAS Miramar, CA (KNKX). Remaining USMC F-18 squadrons are now a mix of C/D models.

J29, I'm not seeing the elevation issue in v5.3, I'm seeing the alpha channel make the lower portion of the model disappear. In-flight they appear fine. I did a base "stock" mod of PHNG to add parking for the 2xUSMC V-22 squadrons, but need to re-look at the FS9 MAIW K-Bay and convert it. ...

The last operational mission by the USAF JSTARS E-8C was on September 21st 2023. https://scramble.nl/military-news/usaf-s-jstars-swansong Tracking the tails of these and E-3s as they head to AMARG. Soon moving the cool JYAI C-2 Greyhounds as they sunset the type replaced by the even better JYAI V-2...

Looks good and the heat blur adds to it. One of things frustrating with MSFS for me is the lack of view control.

Gavin,
That was the P-3C "no_weapons_pylons" that Joseph29 reported. I will go back check my converted P-3 versions.

Reggie, not sure how much the LO is comprised on the tails as living next to Luke AFB I have yet to see any additional flashy paint work unlike the "CAG/CO" USMC F-35Bs. Does make me wonder if the 187th will paint at least 1 with red tails. Recent RNLAF F-35 tail: https://scramble.nl/milit...

Just confirmed in my P3Dv5.3 install and not sure how I've missed it over the years, it's the following:
"no_weapons_pylons"
EP-3
P-3B
P-3_AEW
CP-140

Gavin,
I can now see why the conversion process takes so long, between the linked guide and the above NH-90 kit, I'm almost overwhelmed. Like other things, a few repetitions will help. Sooo many models for each operator.

Can anyone confirm afterburners fx and night textures on these? Running the P3Dv4 models in P3Dv5, while checking Oceana NBAI Hornets, I noticed the nearby F-22s from Langley were dark. I've checked the aircraft.cfg light section.

Nice vid, reminds me to add in the former RAAF Hornets to the MAIW RCAF Hornet package.

Gavin, given the current state of MSFS AI, focusing on P3Dv4+ again. Requesting the instruction manual as I've been slowing learning MCX. Thanks

+1 gents for the plans. Now the fun of trying to check parking spots.

The IRL USCG station has moved to new facilities at KCRP, the old USCG ramp on NGP is for Army use now.

I'm tracking from previous HTAI packages, Mexican AF and Yemen (who knows how many operational). Several changes to released paints, but that's another topic. The USMC does have a new KC-130J squadron in K-Bay, HI. I only have a small request for this "CAG" VX-30 Herc: https://pbs.twimg.co...

Looking for them, thought maybe I had some older FS9 FPs, but have yet to find them. I've had the models/paints since release. Also need to work some RCAF Chinooks in.

Nice job on the scenery, my Milsim CV-22 is ready for a new home.

geoffj, if not already using I do recommend AIG AIM One Click Installer program for airline/civ traffic. I'm using it for both P3Dv5 and MSFS to keep everything updated. If you want a modern Iwakuni, there are also updates to add the JYAI F-35s (VMFA-242 F-18Ds are now gone). On the MAIW side, I do ...
