Huzzah now I can post the Insignia version listed alongside OP pic!

Went for slightly less ostentatious colours, darker background.
Felt more like the kinda thing that they'd be wearing on their flight suits every day.
I'll post line version too if people want it!

What did I miss? No AC7 DLC with the missions of 4,5 and 0?

How do I sneak in AC stuff in a lecture about aviation management systems?

That would be cool
At least the job listing thing that was posted last thread was debunked.

You know it

Guys, why am I doing this to myself?

Sneak in pictures of AC AWACS for Air Control
Cockpit Screenshots from AC7

But what do you mean with Avivation Management Systems? What is it about?

Thanks. Now I really want a full mission editor.

Safety management mostly. In short you need a system that defines your people's accoutabilities, responsibilities and all that, a policy for safety, safety risk management (hazard/risk identification, defining mitigating actions etc), training for personnel, documentation and complicance monitoring
I snuck in an MC72 last year but those slides wont be in there this time probably. Could put the AWACS on the questions slide

Footage shows a su27 with sharkmouth fighting over gracemaria?

Use the [ > and < ] between options the choose from?

Hell yeah!

No multi choice in this one.

Nevermind, I just put in some Air Ixioms

JUST TO SUFFER?

The /aceg/ AFB base has received word that an unknown customer wishes to employ your services to destroy a large number of medium/high-value ground targets about 50 miles south of the base. Flying an attacker or bomber is highly recommended due to the sheer volume of ground targets. Since the targets are so close to your base, you have total air supremacy, so there's 0 danger of enemy air cover. Not even the most foolhardy pilots would dare to challenge the 404th in their own airspace.

What do you fly?

C-5 Galaxy, cargo bay filled with bombs.
Literally just have somebody drop them from the cargo bay as you pass over the targets.

Welp, guess I'm farming ground targets now

Now I just need to figure out what munitions to take. I am thinking FAEBs.

Attached: A-10 experimental winter.jpg (1024x875, 43K)

I go up in an asf, obviously.
Probably Tornado F3. MSSL and guns should be enough for the ground.
This sounds like one of those missions where they surprise you with an ace squadron at the end, I'm not falling for that again.

Do you think they'll notice?

Attached: hazards.jpg (4032x3024, 3.55M)

Don't have specific names, but drop in shit like flying fortresses and railguns.

Id leave out obvious things, but maybe say 'meteor strikes'

Drones

>eXperimental
>Fighter
>Attacker
It's suitable for every mission.

Maybe put superweapons instead of nations.
Stonhenge, Excalibur etc.

Attached: ACE-X_XFA-27_Side.jpg (800x453, 335K)

This one was just meant as a joke for here tbqh.That one can actually work because it is kind of a bird strike/kites thing. Thanks

Borders

Kek
Sudden lasers to the face

I-I've got ground attack capability too!
Sides have been compromised.
You could do as the others said and put in superweapons instead. Stonehenge first and foremost.

Attached: Eurofighter Typhoon turn.jpg (3456x2592, 318K)

You're gonna run out of munitions and be forced to go resupply while all the proper attackers and bombers get to stay and have all the fun

Fine, then.

what did i miss buddies?

Attached: mah buddy.png (610x699, 381K)

Yo buddy!
Didn't miss much.

The last couple of days there was a false rumor about an HD collection which led to a lot of people getting rused. Better for you to hear about it after the fact than get hyped for no reason.

dont they know HD collection is never ever?

Apparently not.

Welcome back, buddy!
Not much. Rumours about HD remasters abounded but were unfortunately false. Someone posted more Aces at War pages. Buddies drew things. The usual.
Planefu?

Which ace combat game should i start with?
will i need a joystick?

Start with Ace Combat 4.
A joystick is kinda neat but honestly I think a controller is better.

4, 5, 0 and no.

What the other buddies said.

>realise there's a far better way to do line art like the Belkan af emblem and allow for colours without it taking ages
>test it out
>it's quick as fuck, by comparison, and much easier
I feel like an idiot, but at least I finally got there.
Tested it out making this, figured you guys might enjoy a slightly stylistic version of Galm team, and it worked great for testing contrasting colours on top of one another without being a pain in the ass.

Cool
What did you figure out?

Are you doing your part in defending Ustio?

Attached: ustio-armee.png (1280x852, 1.18M)

Unfortunately I can't defend Ustio
I can burn it though

belka stop being salty

SEVEN

Basically before, I was doing lines with anti aliasing. Has the best look to it, obviously.
But also meant that trying to colour it was a proper bastard - basically because youd get pixels here and there which paintbucket wont pick up, so I had to go around the edge of every damn line.

What I FINALLY realised like someone who isnt a retard, was that I could do the line not-aliased, then colour, then redo the line using the saved Path with anti-aliasing.
And bam.
It's done. Far easier.
It's embarassing it took me so long to work out, honestly.

For doing black and white, I can just do a second layer above with the aliased line, and then various colours can easily be dropped into the lower not aliased line layer.
It's so simple I dont know how I screwed it up so long.

The important thing is that you learned it and can use it in the future.

>flammable substances
>not Hoffnung
Beautiful.

Shit that isn't a bad idea. Not super useful for how I do stuff right now but still.

Of course

OH i forgot to mention - increasing the line size by 1 pixel.
So like, 2pix lines become 3pix anti aliased.
Otherwise it doesnt really work great.

I admit I got a good laugh out of it, at least.

What planes are waiting to be spliced into the collage other than the Nosferatu?

It's a coin flip between the Strike Eagle and the Gripen, but I'd probably go with the Gripen. Sure, it may be more 'multirole' than 'attacker' but it's versatile enough to thrive in the position-- especially if we actually bothered to spring for Emmerian Rocket Pods, LIKE I'VE BEEN PROPOSING FOR MONTHS NOW.

Attached: the knightly option.jpg (1200x702, 72K)

Should've added that in the brackets

Yeah I figured that was necessary.

Raptor that I'll repost because I forgot to save it on my PC yesterday, and another Raptor by Tom I think

Oh and an F15

Correct

>flying a bomber or an attacker is recommended
Nyet! Su-33 with rakety is fine. Concesions will be made if the amount of targets warants using the Su-34.
There isn't a bomber, paper only or otherwise, with Flanker-ish aesthetics, is there?
>collage
That reminds me, Have you done your part?

Gigi has Thunder-tier drawing skills so I drew the S/MTD on his behalf

I mean the Su-34 is technically classified as a strike fighter or a fighter bomber.

Man the collage is really turning out great

It was a good idea to do this.
The longer I look at it the more I want to get a poster out of it

One day we need to work out a unified livery for the 404th so we can do the thing in colour.

H-hey there's definitely some space between them.
The Dark Shark is well mannered and would never do this! For s-sure

>Emmerian Rocket Pods
Wait, those too! You're right! And don't even think about Storm Shadows.
At least I've finally got my Meteors.
We already have R A D D E S T livery, buddy. That's /aceg/'s livery.

Attached: EF-2000 Typhoon Phoenix livery.jpg (800x453, 107K)

Kek, fair point.
Though it's a bit presumtuous to steal phoenix's style, dont you think?

Are we worthy of it, though?

Jokes aside while the perspective/relative sizes are all over the place the B36 is still way further in the background than the Shark.

I thought we agreed that everyone got to do their own thing with only the 404th being consistent?

Phoenix isn't just a single man, Phoenix is an ideal.
An ideal of valuing the aesthetic and color of your plane, and giving absolutely no fucks about the fact that the livery makes your plane about 500% more visible.

We've earned it.

Good lord, heaven forbid Phoenix caught wind that we were doing so. For our own safety we really ought to come up with something, uh... less derivative.

Definitely, but at the same time it'd be nice to have an alt version of the whole thing with a unified livery!

Only the best livery for the best general

Too late

Fair point

>stealing
>when we're basically paying homage just by putting it on our planes
No need to worry.
We'll see it when AC7 comes out.
I hope we get decent opponents.
I'm quite sure that it would be a "special occasions" livery.

>>when we're basically paying homage
Pretty much this.
Every plane shot down while wearing this livery is a sacrifice to Phoenix.

Still want to do a legacy Hornet full of amraams

I keep being temtped to draw a spitfire with amraams

Do it buddy

Attached: FA-18 Climbing.jpg (554x791, 66K)

Wingtip winders are for the weak!! Or is the wingtip amraams a super hornet feature too?

Wasnt that a thing in Iron Eagle?
