+HrntFixr Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Interestering to note, I hardly remember chaff/flares being mentioned in the books. ECM was used a couple of times, mostly probably during The Circle War to penetrate/eliminate/degrade the SAM Belt across the Badlands Border. Know what??? I haven't heard much mention of them either. The United American Forces have RWR, ECM on pretty much all the birds after Thunder in the East. Hawk even put some advanced stuff into the kingfisher he's flying around central america. Shouldn't the green be a bit darker? I thought the cover had darker green on the phantom.. It could be darkened a little..... it's not finished yet. This is why I post so fellow WINGNUTS can help a brother out.
Falcon161 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Nice skin for the F-4E! I think I might enjoy this book sries. Does amazon sell this series, and are there any more like it?
FalconC45 Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 Yeah but you won't be able to find all of them. Best bet is to search old book stores or go the audiobook route (although the WINGMAN audiobooks I found were abridged.) Falcon
+HrntFixr Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 I bought the first 9 at a used bookstore, they don't have any higher than that right now. I need to find the rest.... dangit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+HrntFixr Posted June 29, 2007 Author Posted June 29, 2007 darkened the TC skin up. Made it up to fly as a bad guy. Loading screen complete. Chaff/Flares no ECM. I'd like to make a pilot for it but not sure whose I could use to modify. I know some have pulled theirs and I'd like to know whose or which I can modify???
+HrntFixr Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 Football City Air Force F-20's! (ok it's an F-5E, but it's all we got for now) Ya think Louie St. Louie would like em??? Will upload soon.
Caveman Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 i forget were there any 14's or 18's its been to long sicne i read any of the books
+HrntFixr Posted July 16, 2007 Author Posted July 16, 2007 i forget were there any 14's or 18's its been to long sicne i read any of the books I re-reading #9, Return from the Inferno, 14's,18's and A-6's showed up and they (they being the Fourth Riech) just bombed the hell out of the east coast (esp here in Jacksonville). They just found the Big "E" in the I.O. in the book so I'm sure we'll see them again. If they give details on colors and what not I'll try to whip up some skins no doubt.
+HrntFixr Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 WIP Colors and scheme from book #8 Skyfire. Now to figure out the decal for the thunderbird outline and W on the bottom.... it's kickin my a$$.
+Wrench Posted July 21, 2007 Posted July 21, 2007 to say nothing about sextuple Sidewinder rails!!! Wrench kevin stein
+HrntFixr Posted July 21, 2007 Author Posted July 21, 2007 to say nothing about sextuple Sidewinder rails!!! Wrench kevin stein LMAO... i was thinking about trying to mod it for dual rails at least. The "M" shaped launchers Hawk came up with would be the shyte! I wish i could get the vulcan six pack on there too.... maybe I'll play with it some more and get the gun area on the skin then maybe the ini to show 6 shooting.... man i wish i knew more about this stuff! I'm going back to the used bookstore sunday to see if they got #10-15 in yet. I don't have them.
+HrntFixr Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Couldn't find books 10-13 , but I did pick up 14 & 15. Not gonna re-read them till I get the others. Well ladies and gentleman I give you Hawk's "cranked arrow" Vulcan 6-pack and all with Hawk himself at the controls. Some more tweaking needed, but it's coming soon.

+HrntFixr Posted August 11, 2007 Author Posted August 11, 2007 It's coming along nicely...... how'd you like to look in your mirror and see this behind you?
Falcon161 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 First you would say it then you would do it (think about it and you will get it. HINT=Bofily function). That is alot of damn missiles!
FalconC45 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 It's coming along nicely...... how'd you like to look in your mirror and see this behind you? Hey dude, didn't Hunter had a pic of his sweetie on the dash or just in his pocket? Can't remember. Falcon
+HrntFixr Posted August 11, 2007 Author Posted August 11, 2007 He had Dominique's pic wrapped in the American flag that Saul Wackerman gave him in the first book and kept it in the breast pocket of his flight suit.
i90807065 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I have 2 questions. 1. Would I be allowed to mod my a/c to be like that XL? 2. How would I do that? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

i90807065 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Ok cool. BTW if I saw that moster behind me I'm goin down fighting!!!
+allenjb42 Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 (edited) Never did get the Wingman books, I don't remember seeing them in the UK, but after 20 years I'm currently re-reading Thunder Alley, also by Mack Maloney, and intend to follow it with a re-read of it's sequel War Heaven. I'd call them a mixture of Top Gun/Iron Eagle/Rambo/X Files with plenty of dogfight action - just right for a Strike Fighters fan! The hero is called Ryder Long - does anyone know if he featured in any of Maloney's other books? BTW, the first chapter of War Heaven is set on a movie lot where they're making a movie about a mysterious pilot flying an F-16XL over a post apocalyptic landscape against loads of Russian planes, helos etc. How cool is that!
