And also the squadrons aren't parking in the right order....when i say that you have VFA-81 parking on the old tomcat line instead of parking on the other side of the ramp or the Hornet ramp. As well as 105, 34, and i think that is it...ill do a double check later but that's just off the top of my head.

Hmm, its been ages since I've been to Oceana so the parking could definitely be off, if you have a diagram of where the squadrons should be parked I'll definitely make the adjustments

Busy at Flightsim.com, thanks AH for the VF-103 Sluggers Cat's, a nice surprise and how I first saw them when I joined my USN squadron in 1995, not only did they take on the Jolly Roger history, also first to deploy with the LANTIRN pod, pushing the Tomcat into the future as a precision strike aircraft.
For anyone adding his paints to current packages, they are located in MAIW Lemoore Hornets with VFA-125 (merged last year into VFA-122). Jets are constantly shuffled from squadron to squadron real world, so if you are anal like me, you can adjust your FP's.
VFA-113 "Bee" scheme is BuNo 164658 (texture.USN_NJ_VFA-125_164658)
VFA-122 "CoMA scheme is BuNo 163776 (texture.USN_NJ_VFA-125_163776)

Worked on the Oceana Bugs last night and noticed I don't have some of the E/F models mentioned in the .cfg file. I have every MAIW Super Hornet package installed. No issue as I just switched them out, just wondering if I was missing some specials?
Also, might be my FSX set up, but I have some overall "black" aircraft mixed in with normal textures, ex on the -105 line, a few jets show fine, while others show black with textured weapons.

From what I understand the black look is an FSX issue. I think it might be due to the alpha layer. It might be worth checking to see if they have the same layer as one that works OK, using DXTBmp is your best bet here as you can export and import alpha layers if you need to.

In FSX an aircraft usually shows up black when there is a texture missing, or incorrectly named, or something along those lines. I don't think the alpha affects it, at least its not something I've ever noticed.

If that is correct then please ignore my drunken ramblings.

Yeah, I noticed this too, there are still a couple models that we've never released for the Super Bug. The quickest fix is to just swap out the missing models in your config for ones that are available. Don't forget there are still a couple Super Bug units we haven't released it

Rechecked/replaced all models and textures as I started converting them to DXT3 w/ mips. Didn't get them all done but everything is fine now, probably a FSX glitch as usual. My KNTU was not ready for this much traffic!
Hmm, I only think of one other country that currently flies Super Bugs....

Working fine now on my system, granted it is FSX. I went back and noticed the main ones I had issues with were Mark's repaints for VFA-103, since I used his prior to being able to download your outstanding file, again fixed and I'm very thankful for a proper fully stocked Oceana.

I've downloaded the updated file and all it's fine (FS9), excluding those aircraft referring to a model that I do not have.
Considering I have all Hornet packages installed. May be, you have some new model that will be part of some upcoming package.
