Ehi, Fra’, about that jets folder: nice job done there, it’s all more “organized” and clear indeed now.
And how is it, the shop there ran out of Tornados?I take this as a good news,
With best regards.
Hi, Jackal, You’re exactly right, the latest Tornado files are already installed

In all the latest OFM theaters, do you mean?
Fine, then, if so. And thanks a lot.With best regards.

Yes, that’s correct.

Good Day, All. I am very happy to present a Pak of custom TE’s made by Brother Jackal for OFM-Nevada and Taiwan . You just drop them into the appropriate campaign folder and enjoy!

Good Day, All. Last night I was finally able to explore the OFM-Nevada Red Dawn and Dragon’s Jaw campaigns, and I invite you to check them out. Brother Chuckles did excellent work on them. The scenario is , well, like the movie(s) Red Dawn, albeit without Patrick Swayze .
Red Dawn itself has the Russian as opponents, and Dragon’s Jaw has the PRC.
They are both modern day, and there are carriers, too, for us Navy Pukes . -

Good day, Joe.
Thanks a lot for your appreciation.
If it’s time to release Lybia and after Iran, what about involving me too among their testers?
Try to guess now why I’m proposing that…To all the other Gentlemen:
just hope you can have fun - and please take in consideration to use those customized “ppt.ini” files created not for those TEs only, they could come useful in your briefings and in flight… (hint, hint)With best regards to all.

By the matter, Joe, replicating a “Red Dawn” reliable campaign had actually been a wish of mine since the very first time Nevada has been released for FreeFalcon.
Chuckles and me discussed briefly that topic, and he was so kind to take it in serious consideration - what you have here is his conclusion.But. Please take the time to fly “Eurowar” too… could be something awaiting for you behind the corner, who kows.
Have great fun “up there” and good luck!
With best regards to all.

You’re welcome to join the party. We have a bit more to do with Libya before we unleash it to the testers, and Iran is not quite to that point, either. We’ll keep you in the Loop, for sure. In fact, you’ve given me the idea to put a “beta-test” version of our Theaters into the Mafia Files so anyone who wants to can test. The more eyes we have looking at them, the easier it is to find bugs.

Happy Memorial Day !
We had a good night last night in Libya ctd testing. We had previously had a couple of crashes, but found the culprit. There were a couple of issues with objectives but mainly there is something in the F-35A flight model files that BMS doesn’t like. So, even if you’re not flying it, if you get within it’s “bubble”-boom. Once we started suspecting that, we took the A completely out-of-campaign , and flew 4 missions with no more CTD’s. So, we’ll be troubleshooting the otherwise excellent FM, then Libya will be ready for release. -
@drtbkj said: … without Patrick Swayze .
Is there anybody working on that model…?
-
Thought it would be a good challenge for you…

Fine, then.
Fra’, where is the stuff ready to be crunched?
I got nothing (no sad Discord tricks positively allowed here, I warned you in advance with a .10 gun at hand)
With best regards.

@Jackal Hi, I pm’d you. I’ve been afk plus we’ve been doing other things. The plan remains the same, and don’t worry you’ll be in the loop.
-
@drtbkj Got your PM, and responded too.
Waiting patiently for all the rest, be assured.With best regards.

Good Day, All. We’ve been busy lately but work continues. I wanted to pass along a tip if you happen to get a ctd in an OFM Theater, especially if it’s an “Airplane Class” error in the crash log text… Go into Mission Commander and delete all F-35A squadrons and flights.
We suspect there’s something in that jet’s FM that BMS isn’t liking . We’re looking for a more long term solution -
Good to learn that simple procedure in advance.
Well done and thanks a lot, Fra’.

I’m pretty new here, but I’ve been working on a series of skins for the F/A-18A-D series. The work includes:
- new high rez decals for warnings (jet intake, ejection seat, blast, arrestor hook, etc.)
- roundels and other national markings
- new false canopies in some cases (or false canopy removal in some cases)
- airframe paint and contrast adjustments in some cases
- squadron markings
I’ve spent time time researching which squadrons flew which version of the hornet, and my squadron skins correspond to my findings.
All this was for my own use/amusement, and the base skin I worked from was the OFM F/A-18C Stingers skin, which I believe from the OFM documentation was credited to Sandy “Ronin” Padilla. I searched for Ronin in the forums search here but got no hits.
I think the skins would be of interest to others, but want to get the original creator’s OK to release them, and to properly credit the original skin creator if they give the OK to release. I’m happy to offer my versions to BMS and to OFM for inclusion/distribution etc. if worthy.
Can you connect me?

@DeepSimulations Hi. Ronin is no longer into BMS, however I do have permission to use his skins. So, Your contributions would be very welcome
