thanks again, Uther. Great thread. Actually, there's an alternate No 609 Squadron Spitfire scheme buried in this thread too.. http://www.simhq.com/simhq3/sims/boards/bbs/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=130;t=000710

Uther:
Great job keeping this thread up to date. And, w/ the - somewhat - immenent release of 2.04 and Multi-skin I can imagine that more mods will be on the way.
One request - when you update could you indicate what you added?
Thanks, Barkhorn.

You might want to note that Hurricane Hicken's terrain update still seems to be at the 'temporary address' given in the post linked above. Rather than the original address.

Dear all, I've done several attempts to download the "109 Cockpit, Revi, panel, and tracer enhancements" file from more than one link but with no success. My maximum result has been a corrupted file. Is there someone that can give me some hint or, even better, a reliable link? thanks in advance

Hey, Uther: it just occured to me to check the link to my ground objects, and sure enough, since the site rebuild, the link is broken, pointing to the obsolete post#. The same is true of all links to SimHQ forum pages. Looks like a bit of a bugger going through and redoing all the links; I tracked down the new link for the ground objects here http://www.simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Board=75&Number=1722750so that's one less to find...

Roger that PV. Sorry about the late reply. I'll have to find the time to go through them.

Are all those 109 skins also available in the latest multiskin? That is, if you have the multiskin, is there a reason to d/l those skins as well? Also, all these terrain mods are no longer being offered (and links are thus dead): hurricane hicken\'s Jan 31st, 2006 terrain hurricane hicken\'s March 19th terrain hurricane hicken\'s April 20th Terrain Update hurrucane hicken\'s Sept 6, 2006 Terrain Update Currently, our latest separate terrain offering (suitable for BoB-1 or BoBII) is the May 21/07 terrain here: http://airwarfare.com/simnetwork/index.php?name=Downloads&file=details&id=40which is slightly enhanced over the March 31/07 terrain bundled with patch 2.06

The original poster/stickier hasn't been by to update this in quite a while, and after the last SimHQ software rebuild, all the links to previous posts in this forum (the majority) were broken and haven't been repaired, well basically they can't be repaired as there's no way to figure out the correspondence with the old system, and then the older posts were hived off to the archive recently so it's even worse now. Hmm. And the archive seems to be broken today, too. Pretty much everything regarding the terrain has been updated several times since the list was made, and most have been incorporated into the BDG patches. You get all of it with one patch install, as the BDG patches are always cumulative and comprehensive. The Hurricane Hicken terrain mods listed there were sequential iterations, only the last was ever needed, and that's been superceded by four subsequent iterations incorporated into subsequent BDG patches. The cliff mods would still be viable alternates, as would the sea colourings, as those are all matters of personal taste. The only aspects of my ground object repaints that haven't yet been outdone by Ben the prodigious object modeller are the London bus and the warehouse roof, and I'm hoping they'll be occluded soon. Oh, and my hedgerow is also still good, I like it better than stock. These three can be found here Bus: http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5806&hilit=lbusHedgerow: http://www3.telus.net/v1ncent/bob/treeline.rar Unrar, and drop into whatever folder has the like-named file - I think it might be maskmap. Looks like this:  Warehouse roof: http://www3.telus.net/v1ncent/bob/WARHS.zip Also not sure now where it goes, look for the filename - probably in imagemap. Doesn't look like much, as I only did the roof, but the stock object sucks much worse:  Addendum, friday: I managed to locate my original post for these, as they repaired the archive link today, so I thought I'd put the address here, see how long this one stays valid... http://simhq.net/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/1722750/Some_minor_ground_object_tweak.html#Post1722750

Uther hasn't been by here to update this thread (or unsticky it, as most of the content is obsolete) for years now. I guess he's too busy with other responsibilities. As to the skins, I don't think any of the individual items are available by themselves anymore. Pretty much everything has been incorporated into the Multiskin package, available at the A2A site, along with the 2.09 patch on the patch release announcement post: http://www.a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=13117&start=0The multiskin applies correct skins to all the single seat planes, along with correct call letters and emblems (done via a scripting system with layers, so it doesn't require thousands of full skin files). For the relatively imminent 2.10 patch release, as you will have noted from all the posts lately, Aces High has created a prodigious addition in the form of skins for all the heavy bombers. I believe that leaves the stukas and 110s without multiskin, but I may be not up to speed on that. The 2.10 patch with multiskin update should certainly be out within 2 months, possibly much sooner, depending on how testing goes. It is in the integration and polishing stage now; when that is satisfactory, an installer will have to be built and tested. If you are only interested in specific skins (say if your vid card can't cope with the full load), you should be able to install multiskin, then disable its running via the bdg.txt variable, and then you can browse the skin texture files for what you want and do some file swapping, or .ms file editing, to get a few skins into your game (this may require some detailed help, best to ask at the A2A forum).

ok, so, the inevitable noob question, as i'll be installing this over the weekend...out of this most impressive list, what are the say 10-15 must haves? (not to tread on anyone's toes, since all deserve kudos for making these, but there are often those mods that are universally considered must haves, such as aeyes cockpit or hi tiles for dear, departed f4, or the ai combat mod for il2 that makes them better resemble human pilots). thanks!
