    Hey Duckie!...not so fast - just wanna say thanks!

    I originally wanted to post these pics of gratitude on Monday, alas issues with my internet.

    Okay, I'll come clean;

    It's been months since last flying these awesome birds - its just a result of trying to keep ahead of other project schedules.
    Most of my Grummans were original 'Milton Blues' the untextured dev. models used for building the soundsets.
    (yes Gentlemen, so far, you only have half the story - the turbo birds are yet to be released).

    Anyway, I've kept my 'aiming eye' on the texture developments of all you talented texture artists and have every intention of savouring this impressive array of paint-schemes.

    So Steve 'Duckie' has imaginatively put us on the Yorktown circa 1969.
    Sometime during that year, USS Yorktown made a tour of the 'Med'
    with primetime spent participating in exercises in the Aegean.

    Here are some pics of one of the events which follows;


    A pair of HAF regulars are sent to sniff out a contact near the Mt Athos peninsular.
    The SLUFS were the nearest available aibornes and radar had already concluded that the intruder was a slow flying multi-engined aircraft.

    Attachment 63621


    "Hey Matt look at that cheeky flyer just showing up here, unannounced!"

    "Yeah...looks like a U.S Navy bird...what's he doing so far North - thought they were on exercises down near Crete!"



    Attachment 63622

    "Think I'll take a closer look at this guy - hey they do really nice paint jobs on their ships"


    Attachment 63623

    "'Afternoon' Navy Bird...need any assistance"...
    "Hey! wait a minute...'Duckie!...Steve buddy, is that really you?"


    Attachment 63625

    "Sure looking good, if I may say so!"


    Attachment 63624

    "Yeah! You guessed! That's 'you-know-who' checkin you out inverted!"

    Time for an ouzo and a breeze?...

    "Good - just follow us down."

    Attachment 63626Attachment 63627

    "Choose your parking Duckie - just make sure its where we get plenty of eye-candy buddy!"
    Most men often say what they think!
    An honest man usually means what he says!

    Really glad you like the Stoofs Guys. :salute:

    I'm truly enjoying painting them and flying them.

    Great little illustrated vignette, Nigel! , reminiscent of an updated Terry and the Pirate episode! You should put pen to paper (fingers to keyboard?) and sell that stuff! Can't wait to see the next one.

    All these Stoofs from all these Squadrons! Reminds me of the mid-'60s when they all came into Bethpage for updating. Very colorful times.

    Does Jan's announcement (referenced in another thread) mean the end of the S2F-1?

    Apparently this is the S2F-1 with the roof-mounted football aerial Milton mentioned a few entries back. No reason to doubt Jan's word re: his actions, so unless he finishes what he's currently working on before he takes what we all hope is a sabbatical rather than making a clean break, someone's going to have to finish what sounds like a first-rate job in the making.

    Agreed 100%.

    If Jan is not up to doing it, I will provide a version similar to what I have already released.
    You will get your S2F-1 one way or another.

    Hey modelr, thanks for digging it up. Seems there maybe something going on with the What's New section of the library. Trying ot get someone's attention now regarding that.

    Hi Bill, thanks for asking. I haven't uploaded it yet. Was trying to wait to see if the problem with the What's New section of the library settled down first. I'll go ahead and upload here in just a bit but you may have to dig for it, or you should be able to go directly to the "authors" section for FS2004/Skins once it is approved and find it under "duckie", I believe that is still working properly.

    No issues I know of.

    The CFS2 forum and our library manager are moving all their old files from the old archive to the new library. The old archive for them goes away in June or July.

    So, as a result, you are seeing alot of CFS2 stuff pop up. Rami is trying to move them out so all the really new adds will show up there.

    Here are his comments (excerpts):

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "I wanted to give you an FYI as to what is going on with the library. In the CFS2 forum, we're shifting all of the files from the archive to the new library, so that we won't have to use the archive anymore. In the process, we're dumping a lot of old stuff and consolidating packages to make our lives easier.

    The problem with the front page is that it only shows about fifteen of the newest downloads, and when I approve the transferred files, they get moved to the front of the line. To make sure that people who upload current packages are getting their due, I go through and reset the top fifteen at least once a day, and rotate the files slightly so that people get the file exposure they deserve."
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hope this helps understanding.

    Milton,

    Thanks very much for the response. I understand the "volume" situation and the move I read about up top but there are a couple of other "anomalies" that someone may want to look at.

    Here's my earlier OT post. http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforum...at-New-Strange

    Thank you, Milton. Jan has been a fixture in the FS world for quite awhile and will be missed. Perhaps like many others, he'll be back after some time away from FS. If / When you decide to do this, I will be available to help as best I can.

    Well I agree with your comment Dave. He has set the standard for me in aircraft since 2002 and has been a friend and an inspiration to me.

    Dave, I appreciate your contributions immensely.
