Very nice weathering Zaku! Is that ALGAE?!

Heh, I don't even know what ALGAE is. Anyway, I added lights to the aircraft.cfg:

LOL I don't miss the days of no pilot in the cockpit. It was always a bit disconcerting.

I'm getting an odd "bouncing" effect with the HK F-16...anyone ever see this, or do I have a bad setting somewhere?

Thanks for the feedback

Latest update...

I've got the flightplans written for the 174th FW and 177th FW! Next will be the 109th AW. A number of the AFCAD's have aslo been completed.

I"d like to create samples of both the Arctic and Antarctic (Operation Deep Freeze) missions. Anybody have ideas for the coordinates of the RAVEN Skiway in Greenland? Or perhaps some of the outlying camps served by the 109th in Antarctica?

Thanks in advance!!

I'm almost done with the Jersey Devils repaints; the only problem is that I can't find pictures of the Spirit of Vineland or Spirit of Hamilton Township. I have no idea what unique markings they have.

Try Airliners.net and searching "84-1286"

You'll get a pic when zoomed, shows the placement. Although not very clear, it appears it is in the same fashion as the others. Hopefully this will help you out for "The Spirit of Vineland"

Heres one pic I found.

I've been looking into this more; from what I can tell, all of the NJANG F-16s now have a full tail code rather than "177 FW" and generally look identical. The 174th, on the other hand, is more unique from aircraft to aircraft. I've added two airframes to your list and found most of the paint schemes. Some I've identified as 174 FS from F-16.net photos, not 174 FW aircraft; I assume they've been recently reassigned.

I've also used this site http://www.philippecolin.net/Welcome.html for great pics! Some of the aircraft you'll see in the 174ths pics, some will be found in other galleries...

Alright; I'll upload all of the 177th textures by this weekend; the NYANG shouldn't take too long, either.

No worries my friend! I'll start merging them into the flightplans.

I'm almost done with the paintkit; here's a preview of 1551:



As you can see, I need to find some way of fixing up that outstanding unit ribbon. Aside from that, all I'll need to do for the rest of the aircraft is make the cobra low-viz.

Here is the latest update...

Flightplans are done for the follwing...

174th Fighter Wing
177th Fighter Wing
105th Airlift Wing

Flightplans still in development...

102nd Rescue Squadron
107th Air Refueling Wing
109th Airlift Wing
914th Airlift Wing

Many AFCADs are also complete to accomodate the above flightplans

Anybody know the A/C registrations for the 102 RQS? So far this is all I've found...

HC-130's
66-0222
65-0974

HH-60's
88-26108
88-26111
88-26114
92-26468

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As far as I know(or have found) they only operate 5 C-130 variation aircraft.

HC-130P:

65-0974
65-0978
66-0222


HC-130N:

88-2101
88-2102

Not sure how many helos they operate.

HH-60G:

88-26108

Excellent! Thank you very much. Since FS doesn't really support AI Helos I was going to focus mainly on the Hercs...but this definately helps!
