Nice shots, so do you know the poly counts on your converted Vlad V-22's? I used some repaints made for the Alphasim model, and used them on the Vlad model, but looked bad until I got Abacus's FS Repaint.

No, I haven't checked the actual poly count on the flyable CV22's, I was only interested in the memory hit with six of them parked (all that I needed to partially fill the chopper parking lot at Hulburt along with the other AI aircraft stationed there - I hop them them between Duke Field and Hulburt Field during the midnight hours on Sunday) caused no problem for my system, especially since I am not around when they fly. I only visit these two fields when I am showing off my special bases <smile> (with their C130U's, Combat Talon II's and Combat Shadow's, U28A's, and Osprey at Hulburt and the C130E's at Duke) all SOS units - "spooks".
I got interested in them after noticing Eglin AFB sure has a lot of heavily armed fighters stationed there for a base that tauts itself as a repair and testing facility <grin> and the fact that they were exchanging very dark colored C130's with Duke (a facility that has a lot of "civilian government employee" personnel stationed there that are required to be AF reservists) <smile>. That led me to Tinker, Charleston, Barksdale and Shaw AF bases, where I noticed that taxiways and tarmacs were incorrectly positioned, after reviewing the FAA diagrams and Google - So I "corrected" all my bases (with ADE9X and Instant Scenery-when necessary) and started "re-painting" (with DXTBmp) their assigned aircraft in correct colors, numbers, and insignia after checking each base's website. I "park" their assigned aircraft with flight plans (with AI Flight Planner), keeping them mostly parked except for one or two hours flights once a week on Sundays.
Now that I have these bases "corrected" and filled with their unit aircraft, I go back to flying civilian from KMYR to KCLT and on to EDDF and back (an actual flight we take once a year) and check on my bases with either a C-17 from Charleston, or a B52 from Barksdale, although the "converted MH-53 from Tinker is neat to fly.
