I remember we used to have some black nosed F-16s uploaded several updates ago, but those are all likely outdated...would someone be up to the task to maybe make some early USAF/European black-nosed liveries? It would be much appreciated!

I have it downloaded and installed, but for some reason it doesn't show up in the ingame livery menu.

I think it looks awesome! Very well done! And yeah, the real jet was very clean and glossy.

I was thrilled to see that one of the Belgium black noses has been made. Is anyone looking at making some of the USAF black noses? There's just something sexy about that color combination..

I was wondering, does anyone have any plans to make some skins of the NASA Tomcats? They flew a couple back in the 1980s.

Is there any chance for the NASA F-14? They used a couple briefly back in the 1980s.

Hello! I was wondering about possibly making a skin of the 147th FW/TX ANG 90th anniversary bird? It's a definite beauty and fairly unique as far as F-16 liveries go...thanks!

I'm...confused.

Hah, that kind of reminds me of the Slidell Air Show back in 2005. Couple A-10s from New Orleans were there to do a flyby..but, arrived before they were cleared in. So, they spent about ten minutes orbiting the air field and weaving about, then suddenly dove down and made a tight formation pass down the runway as soon as the airboss gave them the go ahead, followed by a sharp break that had them skimming the treeline. Definitely got the heart racing! I do appreciate it!

Growing up, I lived in Slidell to the north of NAS New Orleans. Every so often, some of the A-10s would come low over the town, I presume doing low level training heading towards Mississippi. Good memories...always knew it was an A-10 coming over by the sound of that whistle. Probably saw a plane you worked on now and then!

Well, not the ones I am thinking of. The New Orleans ones had the NO tailcodes with the 'Cajuns' and fleur-de-lis on them, while Barksdale ones have the BD tailcode with the 'hog mouths', no?

I've been hoping for some skins of the former New Orleans unit, yet, it seems to be the only A-10 unit I can think of that hasn't been skinned into DCS World. Any takers, hopefully? Here's a couple references... Grey scheme they wore up until unit was disbanded: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VGm_KikuffQ/SPrs5HrSntI/AAAAAAAAAHg/eb-EzGik4PI/s1600-h/020627_01.jpg Desert Storm scheme (including the aircraft that made it back with severe battle damage): http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/841/pics/3_28.jpg http://www.2951clss-gulfwar.com/photo_gallery/var/albums/A-10-Nost-Art/770205.jpg

I ran a clean install earlier today, thinking that would fix the issue (it didn't). Apparently the clean install is for 1.5.0...buuuuuuuuuuuuut. The same issue I am having with the Mirage 2000, I'm also having with the updater. I think DCS world has decided it hates me.

I've tried and tried and tried the module manager/updater every which way and it always says 'can't connect'. Is there any way to get the files to do a manual install? I pre-ordered on day one and wanna use my new jet, dang it. :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: And yes, I've tried disabling firewall/anti-virus/anti-malware. I've tried command prompt, I've tried tracerp and flushing the dns...so, before you advise that, just sayin'.

This is what I get on my trace, by the way... Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.10240] © 2015 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Well, the trace and flush didn't do the trick for me, sadly. :-/

Start Orb?

I also am getting a '404 not found' on that link.

Seeing the Mirage is out and a lot of people seem to be using it, I for the life of me haven't been able to get DCS updater to work for weeks. It never was able to detect the new 1.5 module update, anytime I try to download a module, it can't connect. I've tried everything-command prompt, the works. How are so many people getting this thing to work? :-/ I've tried disable firewall, anti-virus, etc. Same issue exists with 2.0, as well.

Forgive me if these are already being considered! 1.) Arrested landing systems. I see the area for the cables on the runway, but it would really be cool if you could drop the hook on say, the F-15 and snag the cables if needed...or desired, for an arrested landing. 2.) Hyper realism airspace mode for missions and the editor. If enabled, certain bases (like Groom Lake) have a few fighters on alert at all times. If you stray into the airspace, you first get warnings, then the fighters scramble to intercept or shoot you down if you fail to comply. Wingmen being assigned to attack you or fleeing the airspace against your will could also be immersive. 3.) Civil and GA traffic for the civilian airports...may already be mentioned before. Also could be cool if ATC had to be sure to route you around the McCarren airspace when operating out of Nellis and vice versa. 4.) Nellis looks so cool with the Thunderbird hanger textured, maybe some of their jets lined up outside as static models would be an awesome touch.

Does anyone know if the SU-27 skins work on the SU-33 as well? I've checked every mod site I can find and can barely find any new skins for the Su-33...it's making me sad. :-(

For the first few flights, skins worked fine. But lately, the skin that shows up, no matter which I select, is always the default green when the flight is finshed loading. Does anyone have a solution to this?

Disregard: I figured out what went wrong and fixed it. All good now!
