  1. I used photoshop and the resolution seemed pretty high. Keep in mind the base colors, panel lines, ext, are from Firewills original template. I did not do anything that I though was specifically special. Just check your image resolution settings.
  2. Quite proud of this, still needs some polishing but take a gander. This aircraft is modeled after the Wing Commanders F-16C when the 56th Fighter Wing was stationed at MacDill AFB from 1980-1992. Being a C model this would have been seen later. Thanks Firewill for linking me to those trim scheme files. I aspire to make a color scheme pack for U.S. based F-16s past and present. Hope you all like it! Firewill, my father has a substantial knowledge on the weapons the F-16 uses. Would you be open to constructive feedback on them? I have a few things I would like to input (things I learned form his expertise basically).

    Faces of War [WW2]

    Hello, I would like to give a little input regarding U.S. gear, the M1 Rifle, M1 Carbine, and Arisaka rifles. I am quite familiar with those based upon extensive collecting and ownership of those weapons along with internet and book studies on those weapons. The M1 Rifle "Garand" Here are a few small details that will make your M1 rifle the most authentic available and ArmA and arguably in most all video games. They tend to miss these little details that are crucial to having a correctly configured WWII example of the M1 Rifle. If desired I can come back later with some M1 Carbine and Arisaka variant details. #1 Rear Sights They are in your face and a high visibility item. I would advise using the Lock-Bar sights as they are most common in the later part of the war. Most M1 Rifles I see modeled in games use the post WWII T105 sights which is blatantly incorrect. Here is a nice chart to use as a reference. #2 Trigger Guard The milled trigger guard was typical on most WWII M1 Rifles. The stamped trigger began incorporation in April of 1944 and was not nearly as common as the milled version. Left is the post April 1944 stamped trigger guard and right is the milled. #3 Receiver Not a biggie bit a nifty detail, make the serial number on your M1 Rifle under the Springfield 800,000 or Winchester 1,200,000 to put it before mid 1942. I hope that was helpful.
  4. I would greatly appreciate a link to the aircraft skin template for the F-16C and F-16D. Thank you for the help.
  5. Hello Firewill. Awesome mod by the way, I have a soft spot for the F-16 system. My dad set up the weapons loading crew for Kunsan's Wolfpack when F-16s first made it to Korea. I have spent countless hours on Falcon 4.0 too haha. I have a few questions. 1. Is there a comprehensive written or video tutorial on working the mod to its fullest extent? 2. Unless #1 answers this I am a bit confused on operating the HARM. I couple it with the HTM and have use the radar search but am unable to lock AA vehicles such as the Tigris. Maybe 1 our of 20 attempts I can make a lock. Could you run me through a step by step operation of the HARM? 3. Have you considered some of the other F-16 variants? I am specifically interested in an F-16A or F-16B. 4. If you would like to consider an additional color scheme for diversity I have well documented photos of F-16s at MacDill AFB (Tampa, FL). My dad served most of his time working on that aircraft at MacDill so I was hoping either I could commission someone to make the scheme or if there is a template available to build my own. Thanks! Nose of the wing commanders aircraft. Dad standing with it. Tail of wing commanders aircraft.
