@Makcoink of course dude!! Have u seen the upgraded version? the KC-54 Gaur. Check it and use it if u like. Upvotes, comments, credits are welcomed but not mandatory!! have fun!
@Dimkal Is it okay if I modify this for A RP I'm in? I will give credit.
@Johndfg Just do it! Im not into this whole point-game. I just want other ppl flying my designs and give me feedback !!!
@Dimkal I think it's really cool! I would spotlight it but that would be cheap since a portion of the points would go to me
@Johndfg Did u like Flaps and the Fuel Pod operation?
@Dimkal thank you! :)
@Johndfg Done! In the original C-52 post I was mentioning you and your design!
Nice update to my plane, but could you give me credit for the original in the description?
@Dimkal It's ok. We'll wait to see if he accepts it which he always does. He just needs to see it
@Dimkal Okay . . . we just hope that you become a member of the ESR.
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation 5 posts below I posted a msg mentioning GoldenEagle. Should I post it to the official Roleplay forum page ?
@Dimkal where Did you ask?
@PINK My participation to the Roleplay is still pending permision by GoldenEagle. No action will be taken unless the Moderators decide my roleplay role and modus operandi. Thank you for your understanding.
@Dimkal It's entirely your decision my friend. I won't be angry at you. Howeve- it's ok.
@Dimkal You can be based in the ESR.....just no weapons to Mudkip or Awwam.
@PINK Any help required pls feel free to ask.
@GoldenEagle Please excuse my intervention, but I would like to inform you that the Awwam Caliphate has placed an order for purchasing various military equipment with contracts value in the region of USD 8 billion from the defence industry I represent HARPIA Defence Systems Co. Also, I would like to express my keen interest in your intriguing roleplay and I would like to join your game but as a private contractor/industry. Is that possible?
@Dimkal We are intent on adopting it into service we are going to edit it.
@PINK I believe the C-52TS Combat Gayal is the ideal air-drop platform for your tank and armored vehicles designs!!!
