Laughing Laughing :lol::lol:

EXCELLENT idea! We could use a Surf Loach at the Pigsty afterwards anyway, plenty of beach around.....although I might suggest we stray a bit and go with a Greg Knoll board...more of a timely classic from the era and better for Lance to ride the nose on....one of the best damn noseriders around.....

I can tweak and maybe work in a few other thigns in the effects if anyone has thoughts...just nothing too overboard please....This WILL be good, and WILL happen! Smile


Can you and Fr8ycat put a surfboard on the skids of a UH-1C? I'm thinking a Yader Spoon, the 8-6.....and bring a board for Lance.....

Wink


Even better hows bout board racks for your Loach?

Excellent. Hopefully we'll hear the same from Fled soon, and fr8ycat, can we call this a wrap?

Also, for fr8ycat - what do you think about also packaging this in the full mission-file that will include other stuff (planes, maps, etc)? Would you consider granting permission for that?


If testers say it's good, I say wrap her up.

Permission granted. That was my main reason for offering the update Wink

...I like his cutback, too. I think he's got the best cutback there is.

erm................. just a tiny question

I've got the A1-A Skyraider modification for FS2004by R. Spaan, I also got all the repaints for it that I could find on avsim, it totals up to 9 different ones Smile

Is that the same Skyraider you are using ??

Yessir, it is.

Package deal? I dont' have the repaints and would hate to overwite your cfg files.

Hey did you try that OH-6 out yet, Mr. Beta tester???

I hear ya...just sayin' I'm not afraid to surf that beach....I'll surf that beach right now or anytime!

Now over at the Pigsty, that's a nice break, an excellent peak with a bowl section that's just incredible. Breaks left and right, off on the point facing west.....two guys can break both ways, simultaneous!

It will of course require a nice set of beach scenery but it looks like we have our second mission all figured out. And those boards look much better with their proper markings.

OPERATION BIG KAHUNA!
