Do335 has already done it. He (manually!) downloaded all threads with posts from TK from the thirdwire forums: https://combatace.com/forums/topic/85815-preserving-the-tw-official-forum/ His download link is dead now, but fortunately I found a copy of this package on my HD : Third Wire.7z

Why not Here's the realistic 140th SQN skin (currently the only operational F-35 squadron in the IDF): and a fictional one with tail art similar to the one on F-16s of 140th SQN:

Saab J35F Draken - 712th Air Fighter Squadron, Romanian Air Force, 1971 After coming under Communist control in 1948, Romania was closely aligned with the international policies and goals of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. However by 1952, Gheorghiu-Dej (General Secretary of the Romanian Communist Party) had gained full control of the party and Romania began a slow disengagement from Soviet domination. During 1958 Soviet troops retreated from Romania and no Warsaw Pact troops were allowed on Romanian territory after 1962. Following Gheorghiu-Dej's death in March 1965 the Romanian Parliamentary elections brought Nicolae Ceausescu to power and Ceausescu continued to conduct a more independent foreign policy that was increasingly divergent from the Soviet Union. In 1967 Romania was the only Communist state to maintain diplomatic relations with Israel after the Six-Day War and Ceausecu followed this rebellious stance by establishing diplomatic relations with West Germany. In 1968 Romania was the only Warsaw Pact country to openly condemn the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia with Ceausescu publicly condemning the action in a major speech in the Great National Assembly as being "a big mistake and a serious danger to peace in Europe and to the fate of Communism in the world". The surge in Ceausescu's personal popularity emboldened the vain Ceausecu to announce that Romania would immediately become a non-aligned and a neutral state. In October 1968, as a focal point for this neutrality, Ceausecu announced the purchase of 30 Saab J35F Drakens from Sweden for the Romanian Air Force and also announced the creation of an indigenous programme to create a light subsonic aircraft for ground attack and tactical reconnaissance (later to emerge as the IAR-93). The purchase of the Saab J35F was an inspired choice as the Draken was undoubtedly the best value fighter aircraft available anywhere in the late 1960's especially at a fly-away price of SwKr 6m (£420,000) and the outstanding J35F featured the Ericcson PS-01 radar which was the longest-ranged set available anywhere in Western Europe until the F-15A entered front-line service in 1976. The first Romanian Drakens entered service during the Spring of 1969 with the 712th Air Fighter Squadron based at Baza 71 Aeriană, located near the town of Câmpia Turzii, and were followed by the 711th Air Fighter Squadron who exchanged their MiG-21's for Drakens during 1970.

And here it is finally. I am not going to release it until I'm finished with all F-35A USAF squadrons.

Something I have in a magazine. Lots of stores :)

Adrian Cronauer, who served as inspiration for Robin Williams' breakout character in the 1987 film Good Morning, Vietnam, has died in Virginia aged 79. Like his eponymous character, Cronauer was a radio presenter in Saigon in 1965 and 1966 known best for his enthusiastic early morning greeting and penchant for playing rock'n'roll tunes to raise American troops' morale during the Vietnam War. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44897634

I've almost finished the basic skin. I won't mess around with bump/specular maps because AFAIK one needs to add them to the 3D model .max file and I have no access to the model itself. Correct me if I'm wrong here. I would like to ask whether anyone with experience in FM tweaks could help with fixing the Lightning's flight model. For me, it's slightly too slow and "bulky" without the afterburner.

Maybe add a the Phoenix in the bombay with a rotary launcher libe B-1B???

I'm loving it 😁😁

Well, take a look here, Su-17M2: Aaaaand if you were wondering... Su-22 More over, Su-22 for Peru with israeli modifications

Maybe

Lets see how it will change with the P-38 and 51 together with the Me-262

Thank you, Stephen. A very nice airplane turned out. These airplanes were built quite a lot (250 planes were ordered, how many are completed - it is for certain unknown, presumably under two hundred) and they enjoyed a good reputation among pilots. But by the spring of 1917, when mass deliveries began (the earliest - in February 1917 in Jasta 7), the aircraft, of course, is already out of date. Although they were absolutely accurate in combat units, most were sent to flight schools. Four variants of color can be seen on the photo. But first you need to know whether this is an early or late airplane? If with a spinner (which also had two kinds) - then green-brown.

Thank you, Steve! I see that you are familiar with this book

Another Su-17, now the early M series, failed flight, no joy on target :/
